Ohai there!

[kitchen-google](https://github.com/test-kitchen/kitchen-google) v1.0.0 has been released! This driver allows you to use Google Compute Engine instances for testing via Test Kitchen.

The highlights of this release are:

- full rewrite using Google’s Ruby API client - big speed increase over past versions of kitchen-google
- support for GCP SDK credentials (i.e. if you did a `gcloud auth login` on your workstation, this driver will “Just Work”
- automatic searching of public projects for known disk images (i.e. if you want a public CentOS image, you don’t have to manually specify the “centos-cloud” project as the image project)
- support for service account scopes, both by full name and by gcloud alias

Please kick the tires and open a GitHub issue or PR if you run into any issues.

Thanks!
