-## Google Startup Scripts
-Google provides a set of startup scripts that interact with the virtual machine environment. On boot, the startup script `/usr/share/google/onboot` queries the instance metadata for a user-provided startup script to run. User-provided startup scripts can be specified in the instance metadata under `startup-script` or, if the metadata is in a small script or a downloadable file, it can be specified `via startup-script-url`. You can use [gcloud compute](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/gcloud-compute/) or the [Google Compute Engine API](https://developers.google.com/compute/docs/reference/latest) to specify a startup script. 
-
-For more information on how to use startup scripts, read the [Using Start Up Scripts documentation](https://developers.google.com/compute/docs/howtos/startupscript#storescriptremotely).
-
-Below is an example of metadata that indicates a startup script URL and a startup script file was passed to the instance:
-
-    { // instance
-      metadata: {
-        "kind": "compute#metadata",
-        "items": [
-        {
-          "key": "startup-script-url",
-          "value": "http://startup-script-url:
-        }
-      ]
-     }
-    }
-    {  // instance
-      metadata: {
-        "kind": "compute#metadata",
-        "items": [
-        {
-           "key": "startup-script",
-           "value": "#! /bin/python\nprint ‘startup’\n"
-        }
-      ]
-     }
-    }
-   
-   
-Google startup scripts also perform the following actions:
-
-+ __Checks the value of the instance id key__
-
-    Startup scripts check the value of the instance ID at:
-
-        http://169.254.169.254/computeMetadata/v1/instance/id
-    
-    and compares it to the last instance ID the disk booted on.
-    
-+ __Sets the [hostname](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/compute-image-packages/blob/master/google-startup-scripts/usr/share/google/set-hostname) from the metadata server via DHCP exit hooks.__
-
-+ __Updates gsutil authentication.__
-
-    Startup scripts run `/usr/share/google/boto/boot_setup.py` which configures and copies         `/usr/share/google/boto/boto_plugins/compute_auth.py` into the boto plugin directory.
-
-+ __Provides udev rules to give friendly names to disks.__
-
-    Google Compute Engine provides `/lib/udev/rules.d/65-gce-disk-naming.rules` in our images.
-
-+ __Safely formats persistent disks via `/usr/share/google/safe_format_and_mount`.__
