Google Compute Engine Samples

This section contains samples for Google Compute Engine.

Your environment must be setup with authentication information. Note that Cloud Monitoring does not currently work with gcloud auth. You will need to use a service account when running locally and set the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable.
```
 $ export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/path/to/service_account.json
```
Install dependencies from requirements.txt
```
 $ pip install -r requirements.txt
```
Depending on the sample, you may also need to create resources on the Google Developers Console. Refer to the sample description and associated documentation page.
