Usage

To take advantage of this you should set metadata with name fqdn on your instance. You have to set it after the creation

This is the example of creation process:

gcloud compute instances create insance-name \
  --boot-disk-size 20GB \
  --boot-disk-type pd-ssd \
  --image centos-6 \
  --machine-type n1-standard-2 \
  --zone europe-west1-c \
  --metadata startup-script='sh <(curl -sL http://install.opensource.sh/pkgsh/gcloud-custom-fqdn)'

Add FQDN:

gcloud compute instances add-metadata insance-name --metadata fqdn='my.hostname.example.com'
