This screencast demonstrates how you can use Puppet and Google Compute Engine. It uses the Puppetlabs ‘gce_compute’ module [https://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/gce_compute] to create 4 virtual machines, a Compute Engine Load-balancer, and open up a firewall rule for HTTP traffic.

Everything you need to repeat this demo on your own can be found at, https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/compute-video-demo-puppet

While this site doesn't provide GIF conversion at the moment, you can still do it yourself with the help of asciinema GIF generator utility - agg.

Once you have it installed, generate a GIF with the following command:

agg https://asciinema.org/a/10310 demo.gif

Or, if you already downloaded the recording file:

agg demo.cast demo.gif

Check agg --help for all available options. You can change font family and size, select color theme, adjust speed and more.

See agg manual for full usage instructions.
