Q: OS X Server on Google Cloud Platform?

Has anyone (or is it even possible to) run an OSX Server instance in Google Cloud Platform/Google Compute Engine?

 

Appreciate to hear your thoughts.

    The Apple software end-user license agreement (EULA) only permits OS X operations on Apple hardware, and Google is almost certainly not running Apple hardware here.    So... no.   If you want to host your own server, consider OwnCloud or some alternative running on UNIX, BSD or Linux, or select one of the hosting providers that offers Apple hardware such as MacMiniColo / MacStadium .
