TL;DR - Deployments are about to get faster; you don’t need to do a thing.
The App Engine Flexible Environment (previously know as Managed VMs) has always used Docker to package and run your App Engine FE applications. At first we required developers to install Docker, and build containers locally before publishing to App Engine. Last year we improved that process by automatically provisioning a virtual machine in your project, and performing the Docker build and push during deployment - eliminating the need to have Docker installed locally.
In the next release of the Google Cloud SDK, we’re making it even better by switching all Flexible Environment builds to our shiny new service, Google Cloud Container Builder. Container Builder provides a fast and secure way to build Docker images and publish them to Google Container Registry.
You don’t need to do anything to start using the new service. The only change you should notice is faster builds and deployments. If you do run into problems, please let us know by responding to the thread! You can always fall back to the in-project VM model by setting the app/use_cloud_build flag in gcloud to false:
gcloud config set app/use_cloud_build true|false
We recognize that build time and reliability is important for App Engine FE, and we’re hoping this change makes everyone's lives just a little easier.

We deploy go based runtimes (using the appengine runtime, not a custom one) and builds have gotten significantly slower and less reliable for us. Setting "use_cloud_build" to false doesn't seem to make a difference.Until this most recent change we were using appcfg.py to deploy our mvms, so I am comparing that process to using gcloud preview app deploy. They now take 5-10 minutes each, and fail around 30% of the time.Erik

Unless you wrestle directly with the REST API of the Container Builder.
