Mitigate occasional failures in looking up Application Default Credentials on a Google Compute Engine (GCE) Virtual Machine (#110 addresses #109):

  • Add retry to the credentials check for the GCE environment
  • Use fixed IP address for the GCE VM metadata server used to perform the check (to avoid nameserver lookup)
  • Allow skipping the check by setting an environment variable NO_GCE_CHECK=true
  • Use a custom GCE metadata server address by setting the environment variable GCE_METADATA_HOST=<hostname>
