Google Compute Engine Fedora Images (status update)

[Vaidas Jablonskis]

Hi People,

So there is not much to update on the GCE image. I wrote the GCE data
source support for cloud-init and Canonical accepted it upstream, so if
Fedora decides to use cloud-init, the support for Google Compute Engine is
there already.

Other than that, Fedora 20 images I built are working extremely well on
GCE. I am running it in production serving real traffic! :-)

It would be very nice to have Google Cloud tools packaged natively for
Fedora, those are gcutil, gcloud and gsutil. Do you know if anyone wants to
work on that or do you think GCE tools aren't necessary?

I am happy to start the work needed to unbundle those tools and start
packaging.

Thanks,
Vaidas
