title: Keep running Dataproc Master node
body: <p>Is it possible to keep the master machine running in Dataproc? Every time that I run the job after a while (~1 hour), I see the master node is stopped. It is not a real issue since I would easily start it again but I would like to know if there is a way to keep it awake. </p>
  
  <p>A possible way that occurs to me is to do a schedule job in the master machine, but want to know if there is more official way to achieve this.</p>
