gce_vm_container: Launch a container-VM image

In googleComputeEngineR: R Interface with Google Compute Engine

Description

This lets you specify docker images when creating the VM. These are a special class of Google instances that are setup for running Docker containers.

Usage

gce_vm_container(file = NULL, cloud_init = NULL, shell_script = NULL,
  image_family = "cos-stable", image_project = "cos-cloud", ...)

Arguments

file	file location of a valid cloud-init or shell_script file. One of file or cloud_init or shell_script must be supplied
cloud_init	contents of a cloud-init file, for example read via readChar(file, nchars = 32768)
shell_script	contents of a shell_script file, for example read via readChar(file, nchars = 32768)
image_family	An image-family. It must come from the image_project family.
image_project	An image-project, where the image-family resides.
...	Other arguments passed to gce_vm_create

Details

file expects a filepath to a https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/format.html configuration file or a valid bash script e.g. has !#/bin/ or #cloud-config at top of file.

image_project will be ignored if set, overriden to cos-cloud. If you want to set it then use the gce_vm_create function directly that this function wraps with some defaults.
