# GCE Virtual Machine discovery [discovery-gce-usage]
Google Compute Engine VM discovery allows to use the google APIs to perform automatic discovery of seed hosts. Here is a simple sample configuration:
```yaml
cloud:
gce:
project_id: <your-google-project-id>
zone: <your-zone>
discovery:
seed_providers: gce
```
The following gce settings (prefixed with `cloud.gce`) are supported:
`project_id`
: Your Google project id. By default the project id will be derived from the instance metadata.
```
Note: Deriving the project id from system properties or environment variables
(`GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT` or `GCLOUD_PROJECT`) is not supported.
```
`zone`
: helps to retrieve instances running in a given zone. It should be one of the [GCE supported zones](https://developers.google.com/compute/docs/zones#available). By default the zone will be derived from the instance metadata. See also [Using GCE zones](/reference/elasticsearch-plugins/discovery-gce-usage-zones.md).
`retry`
: If set to `true`, client will use [ExponentialBackOff](https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/java/google-http-java-client/backoff) policy to retry the failed http request. Defaults to `true`.
`max_wait`
: The maximum elapsed time after the client instantiating retry. If the time elapsed goes past the `max_wait`, client stops to retry. A negative value means that it will wait indefinitely. Defaults to `0s` (retry indefinitely).
`refresh_interval`
: How long the list of hosts is cached to prevent further requests to the GCE API. `0s` disables caching. A negative value will cause infinite caching. Defaults to `0s`.
::::{admonition} Binding the network host
:class: important
Its important to define `network.host` as by default its bound to `localhost`.
You can use [core network host settings](/reference/elasticsearch/configuration-reference/networking-settings.md) or [gce specific host settings](/reference/elasticsearch-plugins/discovery-gce-network-host.md):
