To deploy an App Engine app on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), you need to use the "gcloud app deploy" command. This command is part of the Google Cloud SDK, which provides a set of tools and libraries for interacting with GCP services.
The "gcloud app deploy" command allows you to deploy your App Engine app from your local development environment to the GCP. It automates the process of packaging your app's source code, configuration files, and dependencies into a deployable format and then uploads them to the GCP.
Before using the "gcloud app deploy" command, make sure you have the Google Cloud SDK installed on your machine and have authenticated with your GCP account. You can install the SDK by following the instructions provided by Google in their official documentation.
To deploy your App Engine app, open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the root directory of your app. Then, run the following command:
gcloud app deploy
This command will initiate the deployment process and prompt you to choose the GCP project and region where you want to deploy your app. You can select an existing project or create a new one using the interactive prompts.
Once you've selected the project and region, the "gcloud app deploy" command will package your app's source code and dependencies into a deployment artifact. It will then upload this artifact to the GCP and provision the necessary resources to host and run your app.
During the deployment process, you may be prompted to confirm the deployment and review the resources that will be created or modified. Make sure to carefully review this information before proceeding.
After the deployment is complete, the "gcloud app deploy" command will provide you with a URL where you can access your deployed App Engine app. You can use this URL to test and verify that your app is running correctly on the GCP.
