[jira] [Commented] (LIBCLOUD-602) Unable to fetch images list in Google Compute Engine

["Siim Põder (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-602?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14184281#comment-14184281 ] 

Siim Põder commented on LIBCLOUD-602:
-------------------------------------

I probably had the same problem and I think it's a documentation problem. gce.list_images() will return an empty list unless you have created images specifically in this project - the "global" images are not listed. You need to know and list specific other project names to find the public images.

gcloud/gcutil take care of this and the docs mention this only in passing, but see:
https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/operating-systems

The projects (such as debian-cloud) that gce.list_images() needs to be called fro are listed in the resource urls.

> I have followed the documentation to create a driver for gce with the required pem files and email id, but I am unable to specifically run gce.list_images() for some reason. 
> Every other command works fine.
