This screencast demonstrates how you can use SaltStack and Google Compute Engine. It uses the GCE plugin [http://salt.readthedocs.org/en/latest/topics/cloud/gce.html] for salt-cloud 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-salt

    AsciinemaPlayer.create(
      '/assets/10422.cast',
      document.getElementById('player'),
      { cols: 80, rows: 24 }

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/10422 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.
