Planning to user Managed VMs

[Naresh Pokuri]

Hi,

Due to restrictions JVM of Google App Engine we are planning to deploy it on Managed VMs of Google. Before that I want to know few things.

1. Can I install whatever software I want to install?

2. If not what is the java version supported?

3. Will it support Play framework?

4. Can I debug my app on local managed VM?

Thanks

Hi Naresh,

On a managed VM, you can use whatever runtime you want, so you can send whichever version of Java you want.

I haven't worked a lot with the Play framework, so I can't say for sure, but I think that you wouldn't encounter major issues using it on a managed VM.

As to your fourth question, yes you can test locally :) I would suggest reading up on our documentation on the subject and experimenting with it.

Cheers!
