FreeBSD 11.0-RC1 on GCE

gce-freebsd-11.tf

// Quick Terraform file to spin up FreeBSD 11.0-RC1 on GCE
//
// Steps:
// 0) Install Terraform >= 0.6.16 <https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html>
//   0.1) Install Google SDK if not already done (hint: `which gcloud` must succeed): https://cloud.google.com/sdk/
//   0.2) If already installed, make sure GCE settings are correct by re-running: `gcloud init`
//   0.3) Load the correct SSH key into your ssh-agent: `ssh-add ~/.ssh/google_compute_engine`
// 1) Drop this file into a dedicated directory
// 2) Populate account.json from https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials/serviceaccountkey?authuser=1
// 3) Plan the change by running: `terraform plan -out foo.plan`
// 4) Apply the plan by running: `terraform apply foo.plan`
// 5) Get the details by running: `terraform show`
// 6) SSH into the newly spun-up machine (see assigned_nat_ip): `ssh -p22 104.198.106.9`
// 7) Destroy everything in the state file: `terraform destroy`

// Get a list of current zones in the given regions.  Use a zone name as the region: gcloud compute region list
