A Hail user recently discovered exorbitant ($600) charges from [Stackdriver](https://cloud.google.com/dataproc/docs/guides/stackdriver-monitoring) after using a small cluster of a few dozen machines over the course of a day. It is currently unclear whether this was simply a billing error or not, but we have pushed a change to cloudtools to disable Stackdriver monitoring and logging, and that fix is available in version 3.0.7:

```auto
pip install -U cloudtools

```

Will update here when we learn more.
