Hi Renich, I'd like to volunteer with this project of building an official Fedora image for GCE. Right now I have an image that I use for myself, I built it using appliance-creator and started with Vaidas' kickstarts, but I replaced cloud-init with the Google packages you mention below.

I built the packages from the GitHub sources (I wrote a small specfile for them), the 1.1.3 release is not enough for Fedora 20 since it doesn't have systemd support, but trunk head does have support, so 1.1.4 should be enough when it gets released. I'd be willing to become a package maintainer for Fedora packages for these GCE tools. Should I submit builds for these packages (more specifically, google-compute-daemon, google-startup-scripts and gcimagebundle)? Or is someone else already planning to do that? There was also the DHCP issue mentioned earlier. I contributed a patch for that bug that was already released in Fedora 20. My last test image build didn't have to include a custom dhclient anymore, so that's good news! https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2014-7468/dhcp-4.2.6-5.fc20 Let me know how I could help, I'd really like to get involved and help to get an official Fedora image in GCE. Cheers! Filipe DISCLAIMER: Google is my employer, though I'm not directly involved in GCE. My contributions here are mainly as a Fedora enthusiast and volunteer.
