+Authentication
+--------------
+
+Quick overview
+==============
+
+*   **If you're running in Compute Engine or App Engine**,
+    authentication should "just work".
+
+*   **If you're developing locally**,
+    the easiest way to authenticate is using the `Google Cloud SDK`_:
+
+    .. code-block:: bash
+
+        $ gcloud auth login
+
+.. _Google Cloud SDK: http://cloud.google.com/sdk
+
+
+*   **If you're running your application elsewhere**,
+    you should download a service account JSON keyfile
+    and point to it using an environment variable:
+
+    .. code-block:: bash
+
+        $ export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="/path/to/keyfile.json"
