Deploy your app to upload and run it on App Engine. When you deploy your apps, you create versions of those apps and their corresponding services in App Engine. You can deploy entire apps, including all the source code and configuration files, or you can deploy and update individual versions or configuration files.
To programmatically deploy your apps, use the Admin API.
Before you beginBefore you can deploy your app:
The Owner of the Google Cloud project must create the App Engine application.
Ensure that your user account includes the required privileges.
Give Cloud Build permission to deploy apps in your project. When you deploy your app, App Engine uses Cloud Build to build the app into a container and deploy the container to the runtime in the app's region. Cloud Build does not have permission to deploy Python 2 apps by default, so you need to give permission before you can deploy apps.
To deploy your app with the gcloud CLI, you must download, install, and initialize the gcloud CLI.
If you already have the gcloud CLI installed and want to configure it to use a Google Cloud project ID other than the one that you initialized it to, see Managing gcloud CLI Configurations.
Using a proxyIf you are running the deployment command from a system which uses an HTTP or HTTPS proxy, you must configure the tool so that it can communicate via the proxy.
Run the following commands to configure the gcloud CLI:
gcloud config set proxy/type [PROXY_TYPE]
gcloud config set proxy/address [PROXY_ADDRESS]
gcloud config set proxy/port [PROXY_PORT]
You can also set a username
and password
for the proxy. For more information, see gcloud config.
To deploy your app to App Engine, use the gcloud app deploy
command from where your configuration files are located, for example app.yaml
.
For manually-scaled instances, the ID of your version should begin with a letter to distinguish them from numeric instance IDs. This ensures that requests are routed to the correct destination and avoids the ambiguity with URL patterns like
123-dot-my-service.[REGION_ID].r.appspot.com
, which can be interpreted two ways:
123
exists, the request is routed to version 123
of the my-service
service.123
does not exist, the request is instead routed to instance ID 123
where the versions of the my-service
service are running.You can name your versions however you like for instances that are configured for auto scaling or basic scaling because targeting those instances is not supported.
gcloud app deploy [CONFIGURATION_FILES]
By default, the command deploys the app.yaml
configuration file from the current directory. If you're running the command from a directory that does not contain you app's app.yaml
, or if you want to deploy multiple apps, replace [CONFIGURATION_FILES]
with the path to one or more configuration files. Use a single white space to separate pathnames.
Optional flags:
--version
: Specifies a custom version ID. By default, App Engine generates a version ID.--no-promote
: Deploys your app without automatically routing all traffic to that version. By default, each version that you deploy is automatically configured to receive 100% of traffic.--project
: Specifies an alternate Google Cloud project ID to what you initialized as the default in the gcloud CLI.For more information, see the gcloud app deploy
reference or run gcloud help
from the command line.
Examples:
gcloud app deploy
gcloud app deploy app.yaml dos.yaml index.yaml
gcloud app deploy --version [YOUR_VERSION_ID] --no-promote --project [YOUR_PROJECT_ID]
If you deploy a version that specifies the same version ID as a version that already exists on App Engine, the files that you deploy will overwrite the existing version. This can be problematic if the version is serving traffic because traffic to your application might be disrupted. You can avoid disrupting traffic if you deploy your new version with a different version ID and then move traffic to that version.
Deploying multiple service applicationsWhen your application is factored into multiple services, you can deploy and update individually targeted services or all the services simultaneously. Deploying updates to services can include updating individual configuration files or updating the source code in the corresponding versions.
For example, you can deploy and create two versions in App Engine, where each version runs in their own service. The first version serves as the frontend service and the other as the backend of your app. You can then deploy individual configuration files to update only the settings of a service. You can also choose to deploy a new version to a service in order to update the source code of the frontend, backend, or both simultaneously.
Requirements for multiple servicesYou use the same deployment commands for deploying and updating the multiple services of your application with the following requirements:
You must initially deploy a version of your app to the default
service before you can create and deploy subsequent services.
You must specify the ID of your service in the app.yaml
configuration file of the corresponding version. To specify the service ID, you include the service: [YOUR_SERVICE_ID]
element definition in each configuration file. By default, excluding this element definition from your configuration file deploys the version to the default
service.
You must specify all the corresponding app.yaml
configuration files in your deployment command to simultaneously deploy multiple services.
From the root directory of the application where the configuration files are located, you run the deployment command and specify the relative paths and file names for each service's app.yaml
file.
gcloud app deploy [CONFIGURATION_FILES]
Where [CONFIGURATION_FILES]
is one or more configuration file's path and name separated by a single whitespace.
gcloud app deploy main/app.yaml service1/app.yaml service2/app.yaml
You will receive verification via the command line as each service is successfully deployed.
Viewing build logsCloud Build streams build and deploy logs that are viewable in the Cloud Build history section of the Google Cloud console. To view builds in the app's region, use the Region drop-down menu at the top of the page to choose the region you would like to filter by.
Updating indexesTo create or update the indexes that your apps use, upload the index.yaml
configuration file to Datastore. Indexes that don't exist yet are created after that configuration file is uploaded.
It can take a while for Datastore to create all the indexes and therefore, those indexes won't be immediately available to App Engine. If your app is already configured to receive traffic, then exceptions can occur for queries that require an index which is still in the process of being built.
To avoid exceptions, you must allow time for all the indexes to build, for example:
Upload the index.yaml
configuration file to Datastore before you deploy your version:
Upload the index.yaml
file to Datastore:
gcloud datastore indexes create index.yaml
For information, see the gcloud datastore
reference.
Use the Google Cloud console to monitor the status of all your indexes:
After all your indexes are built, deploy the new version to App Engine.
Build your indexes before migrating or splitting traffic to your version:
app.yaml
and index.yaml
files and also include the --no-promote
flag so that no traffic is routed to the version:
gcloud app deploy app.yaml index.yaml --no-promote
For more information about indexes, see Configuring Datastore Indexes.
TroubleshootingThe following are common error messages that you might encounter:
PERMISSION_DENIED: Operation not allowed
The "appengine.applications.create" permission is required.
gcloud app deploy
command can fail when it tries to run the gcloud app create
command. Only accounts with Owner role have the necessary permissions to create App Engine applications.
Command not found
Import Error
[400] The first service (module) you upload to a new application must be the 'default' service (module)
default
service. For details about how to deploy a version to the default
service, see Deploying multiple service applications.
Too Many Versions (403)
[13] An internal error occurred while creating a Cloud Storage bucket.
App Engine creates a default Cloud Storage multi-regional bucket on your behalf, on the same region where your application is created. This bucket is required to store the contents of your application. This error is returned when this bucket cannot be created, in the following scenarios:
The default App Engine service account is not present in your project. If your account was removed before 30 days elapsed since its deletion, you can restore it.
Your project is under an organization enforcing the constraints/gcp.resourceLocations
policy, and the organization is not allowing the creation of resources on the same region where your App Engine was created. You will need to override the enforced constraints/gcp.resourceLocations
policy for your project, and allow the multi-region locations on the same region where your App Engine app is created.
europe-west
region, even though the region maps to the europe-west1
locations, you will have to modify the constraint to allow resources in the in:eu-locations
, which includes all the EU
regional. If your App Engine application is created on US
and ASIA
regions, you would have to allow in:us-locations
or in:asia-locations
, respectively.
[13] An internal error occurred
This error can occur if the App Engine's app.yaml
configuration file contains an invalid resource name
under the vpc_access_connector
key. Make sure that the name
field contains the correct project and region where your Serverless VPC Access connector is created.
If the issue persists after ensuring your app.yaml
configuration is valid, use the Google Cloud SDK to re-deploy your service, adding the --verbosity=debug
flag, and contact Cloud Support by providing the command's output.
If your deployment fails, make sure the Cloud Build API is enabled in your project. App Engine enables this API automatically the first time you deploy an app, but if someone has since disabled the API, deployments will fail.
