Atomic Host demo on Google Compute Engine (GCE)

Overview

Basically four steps:

  1. install SDK and initialize a new project via console
  2. upload and generate a new GCE image for your project
  3. instantiate a new instance on GCE using the image
  4. follow a known path

install SDK and initialize a new project via console

  • Sign up for Google Compute Engine
  • Download and install the Cloud SDK
  • Authenticate your client
  • Set your project ID - "A project ID is the customized name you chose when you created the project, or when you activated an API that required you to create a project ID. It can be found in the Dashboard of the project ... ", see GCE doc

That's it for the first step...

upload and generate a new GCE image for your project

instantiate a new instance on GCE using the image

follow a known path

May I suggest a helpful comment saying that the raw image is required to be named disk.raw in the tarball.

Can you provide an example using kubectl instead of kubecfg?
