App Engine: Qwik Start - Python
LAB 3
App Engine allows developers to focus on doing what they do best, writing code. The App Engine standard environment is based on container instances running on Google's infrastructure. Containers are preconfigured with one of several available runtimes (Java 7, Java 8, Python 2.7, Go and PHP). Each runtime also includes libraries that support App Engine Standard APIs. For many applications, the standard environment runtimes and libraries might be all you need.
To begin, enable the App Engine Admin API under
APIs & Services
.
Enter the following command to clone the hello world app
git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/python-docs-samples.git

Now that the application is on the system, change to its directory and run it as shown below
cd python-docs-samples/appengine/standard_python3/hello_world
dev_appserver.py app.yaml

Now that the app is up and running, view it on port 8080 as shown below.


Modify the application and make it return something else.
cd python-docs-samples/appengine/standard_python3/hello_world
nano main.py

Once completed, head back to the site and preview the change.

Now that we are happy with the changes, we can deploy the app to gcloud without much struggle as shown below.
The following command has to be run in the same directory where the
app.yaml
file exists.gcloud app deploy


Now that its all complete, we can view our application with the following command
gcloud app browse
