+GCE Setup Instructions
+
+Get a gce service key
+---------------------
+1. ping twiest and ask for a GCE service key
+
+
+Convert a GCE service key into a pem (for ansible)
+--------------------------------------------------
+1. The gce service key looks something like this: os302gce-ef83bd90f261.p12
+2. the ef83bd90f261 part is the public hash
+3. Be in the same directory as the p12 key file.
+4. The commands below should be copy / paste-able
+5. Run these commands:
+   # Temporarily set hash variable
+   export GCE_KEY_HASH=ef83bd90f261
+
+   # Convert the service key (note: 'notasecret' is literally what we want here)
+   openssl pkcs12 -in os302gce-${GCE_KEY_HASH}.p12 -passin pass:notasecret -nodes -nocerts | openssl rsa -out os302gce-${GCE_KEY_HASH}.pem
+
+   # Move the converted service key to the .ssh dir
+   mv os302gce-${GCE_KEY_HASH}.pem ~/.ssh
+
+   # Set a sym link so it's easy to reference
+   ln -s ~/.ssh/os302gce-${GCE_KEY_HASH}.pem ~/.ssh/os302gce_priv_key.pem
+
+6. Once this is done, put the original service key file (os302gce-ef83bd90f261.p12) somewhere safe, or delete it (your call, I don't know what else we'll use it for, and we can always regen it if needed)
+
+
+
+Install Dependencies (not needed for ctl1)
+------------------------------------------
+1. Ansible requires libcloud for gce operations:
+    yum install -y ansible python-libcloud
+
+
+Test The Setup
+--------------
+1. cd li-ops/cloud
+2. Try to list all instances:
+   ./cloud.rb gce list
+
+3. Try to create an instance:
+   ./cloud.rb gce launch -n ${USER}-minion1 -e int --type os3-minion
