Default Controller Type on GCE

[Marco Ceppi]

The "problem" with Google, is you can actually customize the CPU/Memory
arbitrarily per instance. So they have recommended instance types, but you
can change those properties. I'm not sure why you're getting an
n1-highcpu-4. Default bootstrap for me has been a n1-standard-1
