> GCE: When used on a GCE instance, auth should use metadata tokens

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Compute
> Environment: Google Compute Engine
> Reporter: Eric Johnson
>
> Currently, the GCE driver only supports authorization from a perspective that
> code is executed "outside" of the GCE environment. However, if code is
> executed on an instance running "inside" GCE, it is possible to handle
> authorization with GCE's internal metadata service for an access token.
> When an instance is created with appropriate service account scopes, this
> access token can be used to provide authorization to access the corresponding
> Google Cloud services.
