NodeJS Managed VM receiving 403 on datastore writes (after using gcloud ...deploy --remote)

[Camilo Silva]

Dear Google Team & GAE Enthusiasts:

I just tried deploying my NodeJS app to my project with the new remote dockerless option: 

"gcloud preview app deploy app.yaml --set-default --remote"

The deployment process seemed to be fine -- meaning no errors occurred while deploying.

After the deployment was performed, Interestingly all my GET requests that read data from the datastore are successful.

However, when I try to POST where the data is supposed to be written to the datastore, I keep receiving the 'Forbidden' 403.

This is very weird and awkard since when I run my node app on my localhost, I am able to read/store to my datastore cloud instance without issues.

Please let me know if this might not be the proper place to address this issue although I've already opened tickets on multiple places already.

I already opened a similar ticket here:

Thanks for your help.

Camilo.
