Andrew Bayer commented on JCLOUDS-393:
--------------------------------------
Very, very preliminary PR up at
https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds-labs-google/pull/17 - haven't run live tests
yet, but got the expect tests to pass, etc. I'll also need to update/add some
live tests as well, but I wanted to get something up to be looked over ASAP if
we're gonna get this in for 1.7.0.

> So this is a bit of a stretch goal for 1.7.0, but GCE has gone GA and moved
> to API v1, which...well,
> https://developers.google.com/compute/docs/transition-v1 - it's got a number
> of breaking changes from v1beta16 and earlier. Most notably, instance
> creation and images are now more than a little different. The images from
> v1beta16 and earlier with Google-provided kernels don't work with v1, the
> kernel resource is just gone completely, and most annoyingly, you no longer
> can create instances from images directly. Instead, you have to first create
> a root persistent disk from an image, and then specify that disk when
> creating the instance. When you get an instance's information, it no longer
> has anything about the image it was created from - instead you've got to go
> through the disk to see what its source image is, but even that's a bit odd,
> since the current API reference doesn't actually include the sourceImage in
> the list of fields for disk resources, though it's pretty strongly implied
> that it should be there...bah.
> Anyway, I'm going to try to get this done for 1.7.0, but given the timeframe,
> it may not be completed in time. v1beta16 is supposed to stick around until
> March, so we've got some cushion to get out 1.7.1 with v1 support if needed.
