Prerequisites:

• google SDK is installed and the gcloud utility is in the user's PATH envrionment variable.
• gcloud is logged in to your ops school google account (run gcloud auth login to login).

• All of the machines are built using the chef server so that machine should be up before starting any other role
• the chef server machine name will always be chefserver for easy access from all other machines connecting to it.
