Keep gce.ini and gce.py in your inventory, make sure gce.ini has values for gce\_service\_account\_email\_address, gce\_service\_account\_pem\_file\_path and gce\_project\_id. After that, gce.py --list-hosts should work. ---

Hi Varun, Thank you…We could get that issue resolved. Can you please give us a sample playbook to install these applications(like apache, python, etc…) in the VM running in the GCP from ansible Thank You ---

Here’s a playbook to provision a VM and setup Deluge and a bunch of stuff for seedboxes. [https://gist.github.com/chopraaa/5e34b66b155552809261b603a31e7dae](https://gist.github.com/chopraaa/5e34b66b155552809261b603a31e7dae) ---
