Sub-project "life" expectancy

Exactly what it says in the first post in this thread. More than a year at the 6M-9M range. If we subsequently move 9M-12M to BOINC it will be a lot more, but we haven't made a decision about that yet.
Thank you. I had thought there might be an update given that said post was last updated ~10 months ago.

Minimum RAM requirements per WU and, if you're offering, what amount/speed helps improve performance.
Thank you.

Look at log files.
I've run the Google Cloud, Vultr, and now the Azure trial. I've never experienced throttling.
Here are the cpu and hd graphs for a trial that was started on December 15th...  [/img]

Vultr throttled my instances so badly that I could not use the service anymore for crunching. But in their defense, I was breaking the terms of service.
I would bet that they are going to consider running your CPUs at 100% 27/7 the same as;
"Some actions are prohibited during free trial. For example, during your free trial you may not use Cloud Platform services to engage in mining cryptocurrency".

YMMV, but I was able to run both trials at full load with no issues. I personally know a handful of folks that have used the Google Cloud trial to run BOINC at full load and there have been no issues and no charges.

I've run the Google Compute trial. Very simple to partition a system. Would recommend.
Microsoft offers a free $200 trial of Azure: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/free/
Vultr offers a free $50 trial : https://www.vultr.com/freetrial/
