Albeit much different, yet with some common ideas, I've created a docker “devops environment” image, that if you provide with a GCE service account, it will auto-activate google cloud and even setup ansible to work with your gce project. Emacs and vim are provided, pre-configured to a certain degree. The best usage scenario would be emacs+golang but there is basic support for other languages. There are some other conveniences too, like bash-completion being enabled (no more need for remembering all git flags).

If anyone is interested or want to borrow some ideas:
