cgloud app preview deploy process takes ~8 minutes, is this normal?

[Ward Bekker]

Hello,

Trying out the new flexible app engine runtime. In this case a custom Ruby on Rails runtime based on the google provided ruby runtime.

When firing of `cgloud app preview deploy` the whole process takes ~8 minutes, most of which is "updating service". Is this normal? And more importantly, how can I speed it up?

Regards,

Ward

based on my experience with managed vms (and now flexible runtimes) this is normal.  my machines are python based with the app engine compatibility layer.

the time i think is spent making a new docker image.  i too would like for it to be faster.
