A few advantages of using CloudAMQP rather than running your own RabbitMQ instance

Since CloudAMQP is a managed service, you can leverage their awesome tech support.
It comes with a really nice Web Admin UI and you can view/manage queues.

Launch RabbitMQ instance on CloudAMQP

Create a new account on CloudAMQP
Launch a new AMQP instance
From the AMQP Console get your AMQP URL, eg, amqp://cgj:BScjD@tiger.cloudamqp.com/cgj

Modifications of existing instructions

If you are going through the instructions of Installation on Google Compute Engine, you can:

Skip the instructions telling you to launch a RabbitMQ instance. You don't need one, since you have one running on CloudAMQP
Set the AMQP_URI environment variable from the one found in your [AMQP Console], eg gce:~$ export AMQP_URI=amqp://cgj:BScjD@tiger.cloudamqp.com/cgj
