NAME

       fence_gce - Fence agent for GCE (Google Cloud Engine)

DESCRIPTION

       fence_gce   is  an  I/O  Fencing  agent  for  GCE  (Google  Cloud  Engine).  It  uses  the
       googleapiclient library to connect to GCE.  googleapiclient can be configured with  Google
       SDK  CLI  or  by executing 'gcloud auth application-default login'.  For instructions see:
       https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/tutorials/python-guide

       fence_gce accepts options on the  command  line  as  well  as  from  stdin.  Fenced  sends
       parameters  through  stdin  when  it  execs the agent. fence_gce can be run by itself with
       command line options.  This is useful for testing and for turning outlets on or  off  from
       scripts.
