multiple disks for Google Compute images

[Thomas Cheng]

Hi all,

 Are there any options to attach multpile disks to Google compute images? Both at image creation time (with packer), and instance creation time, similar to the options for Amazon AWS: ami_block_device_mappings, and launch_block_device_mappings? 

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

The GCE API for creating an Image[1] only allows one disk when creating an Image. The API for launching an Instance[2] allows a list of disks but since only one can be used in the resulting Image I we haven't implemented support for that. And no one have requested support for it.
