Spark GCE is like Spark Ec2 but for those who run their cluster on Google Cloud.

• Make Sure you have installed and authenticated gcutils where you are running this script.
• Helps you launch a spark cluster in the Google Cloud
• Attaches 500GB empty disk to all nodes in the cluster
• Installs and Configures everything Automatically
• Starts the Shark server Automatically

Spark GCE is a python script which will help you launch a spark cluster in the google cloud like the way spark_ec2 script does for AWS.
