Move from App Engine Flex to App Engine Standard Second Generation

[Savio Bajpai]

I am trying to move from App engine flex to standard second generation.

I have deployed my code as a docker on AE Flex environment where I even need to install system libraries(zbar-tools, libzbar-dev, imageMagick), which are not available by default in the standard environment. I have made a few changes to the default parameters of a system library(it had to be done).

How can I perform the same operations related to system libraries in AE second generation environment? If I cannot deploy it as a docker

I did try my docker on AE second generation(by changing the runtime parameter), it crashed

Could you help me find the right approach to get this done.

Thanks

Hi Savio,

 

As in the answer in the StackOverflow thread the process of going from App Engine Flex to App Engine Stand is more of a complete redesign than a migration as they work differently.

 

However the good news is with App Engine Standard second generation , all the libraries are supported even those which rely on C .

 

For more in-depth technical answers and How-to’s I would suggest you post your questions on StackOverflow as the Google Groups is more aimed toward general discussion about the platform and tools.
