Moving Alex Heneveld's question to the [DISCUSS] thread...
"Hi folks-
The GCE identity parse fix ([2] and [3]) did not get backported. This
will cause problems for many users of GCE.
I've created a PR for this backport now at [1].
Would it be possible to cut a new RC for 1.6.3 including this? I know
it's work but GCE is the fastest cloud that I've come across so it
would be nice to have! (Good news is that testing with other clouds
all is good, including the recent changes to Softlayer.)
Best
Alex
