Thanks for the notes. I did not try to customize it as much. I tried to stick close to existing fedora cloud images.

I wrote GCE support for cloudinit (it is upstream already), so it configures ssh keys and user-data. I am not sure if it can configure google-specific things though.

Awesome! Thanks! I posted my method on my blog. I'll add a link to
your repo as an alternative.

Some observations, though:
- You're using md5 for passwords. Google requires SHA512
https://developers.google.com/compute/docs/images#security
- You did not add their metadata internal thingy on ntp and hosts:
https://developers.google.com/compute/docs/images#os
https://developers.google.com/compute/docs/images#network
- What about their google stuff? daemon, init-scripts, etc? Does
cloud-init take care of all that? Even mounting drives and stuff? If
so, cool!

Anyway, just some observations. Check out mine:

I like the use of kickstarts better, though.

Ah, good to know. Will subscribe to it.
