How to set up an SSH tunnel with Google Compute Engine
Recently I’ve been doing a tonne of work with Google Compute Engine, Google’s equivalent of Amazon EC2 and S3. It’s good, very good, and I’ll write up more about how we’re using it at a later date. All interactions with your Instances (boxes) is through the gcutil program, which is very neat and clean, but also (behind the scenes) basically SSH and the GCE REST API, so pushing and pulling filesis really just scp etc....
