A collection of utilities for image management in Google Compute Engine
While the functionality provided by the utilities is more or less a duplication of functionality available with the gcloud CLI tools from the google-cloud-sdk the google-cloud-sdk does not provide consumable sources for packaging in a distribution nor is there a project for upstream contributions. This project focuses on image management only.
All utilities expect the service account credentials in ~/.config/gce. The name of the credentials file is expected to match the project name followed by the .json extension.

=======
A command line utility to deprecate images in GCE.
The image set as the replacement is removed from the list of potential images to be deprecated before any matching takes place. Therefore, the deprecation search criteria specified with --image-name-frag or --image-name-match cannot match the replacement image.
> gcedeprecateimg --project example --image-name-match v15 --replacement-name exampleimage_v16
See the man pages for more information.
