No problem, but it looks like my knowledge about GCE is too low at the
moment. BTW are there are any way to make a bullet prof method to stop
gce instance after predefined timout? Your systemctl timeout script
does not always work. In my case it stuck somewhere inside FS and
timeout.service can not do it's job. Probably we can do it via
kernel watchdog or external watcher ala Jenkins.
