Image Packages for Google Compute Engine

This repository is the collection of packages that are installed on the standard Google Compute Engine images.

1. Image Bundle - Tool that creates an image file out of a disk attached to a GCE VM.
2. Google Startup Scripts - Scripts and configuration files that setup a Linux-based image to work smoothly with GCE.
3. Google Daemon - A service that manages user accounts, maintains ssh login keys, and syncs public endpoint IP addresses.

Installation

The easiest way to install these packages into a Linux-based image is to extract each tarball to / (root). Image Bundle does not have a directory structure, it is recommended to it extract to /usr/share/imagebundle. The tarballs are available in releases.

Refer to Building a Google Compute Engine Image for the complete guide.

Source Code

This repository is structured so that each package is located in its own top-level directory. google-startup-scripts and google-daemon are stored as the directory structure of where the files would be from root. image-bundle has no directory structure.
