-------------------------------------
Summary: GCE: When used on a GCE instance, auth should use
metadata tokens
Key: LIBCLOUD-625
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-625
Project: Libcloud
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Compute
Environment: Google Compute Engine
Reporter: Eric Johnson
Currently, the GCE driver only supports authorization from a perspective that
code is executed "outside" of the GCE environment. However, if code is executed
on an instance running "inside" GCE, it is possible to handle authorization
with GCE's internal metadata service for an access token.
When an instance is created with appropriate service account scopes, this
access token can be used to provide authorization to access the corresponding
Google Cloud services.
