gcloud utils

A set of tools for working with gcloud. This assumes you have this respository synced to the gcloud repo gcloud.

Server bootstrapping (bootstrap)

Add this script as This script will gcloud clone any repositories listed in the environment variable REPOS and will run the repo For automatic server bootstrapping, add this script to the startup-script metadata for all Google Compute Engines

mkdir -p /srv &>/var/log/bootstrap.log
gcloud source repos clone gcloud /srv/ &>/var/log/bootstrap.log
/srv/bootstrap &>/var/log/bootstrap.log

This will bootstrap all repos in the environment variable REPOS. First it will clone the repos, then it will run scripts/prod/bootstrap in each repo.

Metadata usage (get_metadata, use_env)

Metadata can be stored on instances, and this can be used to create Heroku-like environment variables. get_metadata will pull the current metadata into /srv/metadata.sh. You can then use the metadata like so,

$ echo "export ENV=PRODUCTION" > /srv/metadata.sh
$ /srv/use_env python -c "import os; print(os.environ['ENV'])"
PRODUCTION
