Fluent-http on App Engine Managed VMs

This is a demonstration project for App Engine Managed VMs. It leverages App Engine Docker's support to run a web app with Java 8. It uses [fluent-http] web stack.

This application uses this base image.

To use managed VMS

1. Download the Google Cloud SDK and create a billing-enabled project.

2. Enable billing on your project by visiting https://cloud.google.com/console/project/apps~<app_id>, where <app_id> is the ID of your project. Click on Settings in the left menu and then enable billing.

3. Set the default project to your project's ID using the config command:

gcloud config set project <project ID>

4. The first time you use the Cloud SDK, you may be asked to run:

gcloud auth login

5. Install the app engine gcloud component by invoking the following:

gcloud components update app

6. Install Docker:

• Mac OS X: http://docs.docker.io/installation/mac/
• Windows: http://docs.docker.io/installation/windows/
• Other operating systems: https://docs.docker.com/installation/

7. Configure boot2docker:

Boot2docker runs with 2048Mb of memory by default. It has to be increased to 4096 at least:

boot2docker stop
VBoxManage modifyvm "boot2docker-vm" --memory "4096"
boot2docker up

8. Download the base App Engine docker images for all runtimes:

gcloud preview app setup-managed-vms

9. Run the application locally:

gcloud preview app run .

10. Deploy the application:

gcloud preview app deploy .
