1. ask your GCE project administrator for a GCE service key

Convert a GCE service key into a pem (for ansible)
--------------------------------------------------
1. mkdir -p ~/.gce
1. The gce service key looks something like this: projectname-ef83bd90f261.p12

+.. The ef83bd90f261 part is the public hash (GCE_KEY_HASH), The projectname part, is the project name (PROJECT_NAME).
1. Be in the same directory as the p12 key file.
1. The commands below should be copy / paste-able
1. Run these commands:
```
- # Temporarily set hash variable
+ # Temporarily set hash variable and project name
export GCE_KEY_HASH=ef83bd90f261
+ export PROJECT_NAME=projectname
# Convert the service key (note: 'notasecret' is literally what we want here)

+ openssl pkcs12 -in ${PROJECT_NAME}-${GCE_KEY_HASH}.p12 -passin pass:notasecret -nodes -nocerts | openssl rsa -out ${PROJECT_NAME}-${GCE_KEY_HASH}.pem
# Move the converted service key to the .gce dir
- mv projectname-${GCE_KEY_HASH}.pem ~/.gce
+ mv ${PROJECT_NAME}-${GCE_KEY_HASH}.pem ~/.gce
# Set a sym link so it is easy to reference

+ ln -s ~/.gce/${PROJECT_NAME}-${GCE_KEY_HASH}.pem ~/.gce/${PROJECT_NAME}_priv_key.pem
```
1. Once this is done, put the original service key file (projectname-ef83bd90f261.p12) somewhere safe, or delete it (your call, I don not know what else we will use it for, and we can always regen it if needed).
