c++ - Using Google Cloud Storage as central store for multi-instance Google Compute Engine -

i using google compute engine distribute simulation workload on multiple instances (machines) - coded in c++ , using openmpi parallelize calculations. each 'remote' instance generates considerable data output gather via mpi 'central' instance.

an alternative directly store data on central location, e.g. google cloud storage (gcs) each instance, need handle considerable i/o. yet cannot find how directly address gcs buckets within c++ (boost::filesystem) without using google's gsutil. hence questions:

is possible directly address google's cloud storage buckets without using gsutil , if so, how.

you can use google-api-cpp-client access of google apis, including google cloud storage api. said, take work integrate boost::filesystem if that's goal.
