You can only do this with the #cloud config solution, but the solution here is also incomplete.

Please see below. The future is yours. Includes gotchas like:

  • Adding user to Docker user group
  • Authenticating with the docker registry
  • Calling with the necessary user permissions
  • How to call it with cloud-config
#cloud-config

users:
  - name: cloudservice
    uid: 2000
    groups: docker # Add the user to the Docker group

write_files:
  - path: /etc/systemd/system/install-gpu.service
    permissions: 0644
    owner: root
    content: |
      [Unit]
      Description=Install GPU drivers
      Wants=gcr-online.target docker.socket
      After=gcr-online.target docker.socket

      [Service]
      User=root
      Type=oneshot
      ExecStart=cos-extensions install gpu
      StandardOutput=journal+console
      StandardError=journal+console
  - path: /etc/systemd/system/cloudservice.service
    permissions: 0644
    owner: root
    content: |
      [Unit]
      Description=Run a myapp GPU application container
      Requires=install-gpu.service
      After=install-gpu.service

      [Service]
      ExecStartPre=sudo -u cloudservice /usr/bin/docker-credential-gcr configure-docker --registries us-central1-docker.pkg.dev
      ExecStart=sudo -u cloudservice -E /usr/bin/docker run --rm -u 2000 --name=mycloudservice --device /dev/nvidia0:/dev/nvidia0 us-central1-docker.pkg.dev/xxxxxxxxxxx:latest
      ExecStop=sudo -u cloudservice /usr/bin/docker stop mycloudservice
      ExecStopPost=sudo -u /usr/bin/docker rm mycloudservice

runcmd:
  - systemctl daemon-reload
  - systemctl start install-gpu.service
  - systemctl start cloudservice.service
