Setting up Storm on Google Cloud - google-compute-engine

Question

I was wondering if there's been any work on setting up Apache Storm on Google Compute Engine. I have been using this blog (http://datadventures.ghost.io/2013/12/29/deploying-storm-on-gce/) but I can't seem to get my nimbus instance setup to work properly.
The blog states that to check if my nimbus instance is functioning, I should have a look at the Nimbus Web UI. However, I can't seem to display the UI on my browser. I have made the necessary changes in the storm.yaml file.
My storm.yaml file looks like :
storm.zookeeper.servers:
- "test-1"
ui.port : 8080
nimbus.host: "nimbus"
nimbus.childopts: "-Xmx1024m -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true"
ui.childopts: "-Xmx768m -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true"
supervisor.childopts: "-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true"
worker.childopts: "-Xmx768m -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true"
storm.local.dir: "/app/storm"
I checked my nimbus.log file and I see the following:
2016-10-26 18:57:27 b.s.d.nimbus [INFO] Starting Nimbus with conf {"dev.zookeeper.path" "/tmp/dev-storm-zookeeper", "topology.tick.tuple.freq.secs" nil, "topolo$

This shows that my nimbus instance connects with the zookeeper. However, I am stumped as to how to access the UI. I try to access it using:
http://[Public IP of Nimbus GCP Instance]:8080
I would really appreciate any help. I haven't come across anything with respect to building storm over google compute engine.I'm a relative new comer to Storm.
Thanks
Edit:
gcloud compute firewall-rules list | grep 8080
nimbusui default 0.0.0.0/0 udp:8080,tcp:8080
On the nimbus instance, I tried:
netstat -l 8080

I also checked ui.log :
