Description

Recently Google have released a google VM Image that comes with docker preinstalled and supports docker provisioning via metadata.

Toady in libcloud both debian and centos images are supported by matching against the VM name and then injecting the appropiate project name (debian-cloud and centos-cloud).

To support Google Containers the method ex_get_image needs to look as follows for release 0.14.1 of libcloud:

gce.py

    def ex_get_image(self, partial_name):
        """
        Return an NodeImage object based on the name or link provided.

        :param  partial_name: The name, partial name, or full path of a GCE
                              image.
        :type   partial_name: ``str``

        :return:  NodeImage object based on provided information or None if an
                  image with that name is not found.
        :rtype:   :class:`NodeImage` or ``None``
        """
        if partial_name.startswith('https://'):
            response = self.connection.request(partial_name, method='GET')
            return self._to_node_image(response.object)

        image = self._match_images(None, partial_name)
        if not image:
            if partial_name.startswith('debian'):
                image = self._match_images('debian-cloud', partial_name)
            elif partial_name.startswith('centos'):
                image = self._match_images('centos-cloud', partial_name)
            elif partial_name.startswith('container-vm'):
                image = self._match_images('google-containers', partial_name)

        return image

Where the new part is this clause:

            elif partial_name.startswith('container-vm'):
                image = self._match_images('google-containers', partial_name)
