google-cloud-compute library samples

These samples demonstrate usage of the google-cloud-compute library to interact with the Google Compute Engine API.

If you haven't already, set up a Python Development Environment by following the python setup guide and create a project.
Use gcloud auth application-default login to allow the script to authenticate using your credentials to the Google Cloud APIs.

Create a new virtual environment and install the required libraries.

virtualenv --python python3 name-of-your-virtualenv
source name-of-your-virtualenv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
