| ## Guest Agent for Google Compute Engine. |
| This repository contains the source code and packaging artifacts for the Google |
| guest agent. These components are installed on Windows and Linux GCE VMs in |
| order to enable GCE platform features. |
| |
| ## Building Guest Agent |
| In the codebase there's a GNU Make based build system with targets to build and |
| test the guest agent. |
| |
| In order to build both the `guest-agent` and `core_plugins`, run |
| |
| ```shell |
| make |
| ``` |
| |
| To build only one or the other, run the respective `make` target: |
| |
| ```shell |
| make build cmd/google_guest_agent/google_guest_agent |
| ``` |
| |
| ```shell |
| make build cmd/core_plugin/core_plugin |
| ``` |
| |
| To run all the go tests, run: |
| |
| ```shell |
| make test |
| ``` |
| |
| For more targets and info about the build system run: |
| |
| ```shell |
| make help |
| ``` |
