Google recently released [Google Cloud Deployment Manager](https://cloud.google.com/deployment-manager/overview), which gives access to their API for compute engine instances.

You can use the [gcloud deployment-manager …] CLI to create deployments from yaml/jinja/python files.  
GCDM does not include a way to provision software on VMs once they have been deployed.

Has anyone given thought to how/whether this could/should be integrated with Ansible?
