Does Google Cloud Compute Engine allows Ubuntu image?

I'm new to Google Cloud Compute Engine, and am reading the section of Custom Image of their developer documentation, and then found that they allow custom Debian and CentOS images. So I wonder if Ubuntu, which is also Debian based, is allowed or not. Thanks in advance!

Yes, it supports Ubuntu images, get the list with:

$ gcloud compute images list NAME PROJECT FAMILY ... ubuntu-1204-precise-v20160801 ubuntu-os-cloud ubuntu-1204-lts ubuntu-1404-trusty-v20160627 ubuntu-os-cloud ubuntu-1404-lts ubuntu-1604-xenial-v20160721 ubuntu-os-cloud ubuntu-1604-lts ...

If you are willing to put the work in, you can build an image from scratch using any linux distribution you like.

The current list of images available are:

projects/centos-cloud/global/images/centos-6-v20140408                  
projects/debian-cloud/global/images/backports-debian-7-wheezy-v20140408 
projects/debian-cloud/global/images/debian-7-wheezy-v20140408           
projects/rhel-cloud/global/images/rhel-6-v20140408                      
projects/suse-cloud/global/images/sles-11-sp3-v20140306

No Ubuntu specific image is available.

If you have gcutil, you can see this list using the gcutil listimages command.
