Starting with Ansible 1.4 you can now create and manage Google Compute Engine instances, disks, networks, firewalls, and load-balancers.

This asciicast demonstrates using the gce module and family to create a trivial load-balanced web site. You can find the GCE modules in ansible/library/cloud/gce* along with an inventory plugin in ansible/plugins/inventory/gce.py.

Enjoy!

While this site doesn't offer 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 run the following command to create GIF file:

agg https://asciinema.org/a/5996 5996.gif

Or, if you already downloaded the recording file:

agg 5996.cast 5996.gif
