Feature: gcp

Description

Features

This feature creates a GCP compatible image artifact as an .raw file.

To be platform compliant smaller adjustments like defining the platform related clocksource config, networking config etc. are done. The artifact includes cloud-init and amazon-ec2-utils for orchestrating the image.

This feature installs google cloud configurations via the https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/guest-configs package.

Uploading Image to GCP

• create compressed tar image (disk must be called disk.raw)

tar --format=oldgnu -Sczf compressed-image.tar.gz disk.raw

• upload tar:

gsutil cp compressed-image.tar.gz gs://garden-linux-test

• create image:

gcloud compute images create garden-linux-gcp-01 --source-uri gs://garden-linux-test/compressed-image.tar.gz

Unit testing

This platform feature supports unit testing and is based on the gcp fixture to validate the applied changes according its feature configuration.
