I’m trying to challenge myself and create an app engine app start to finish, beginning with code, instead of copying someone else’s pre-made config/application files.
I recently finished Mattias’ GCP ACE course and I’ve been reviewing my course notes and trying to come up with my own labs. One of the things we did a lot of was working with different configuration files, and I wanted to get some practice doing this on my own.
In the recommended additional kubernetes deep dive course, Nigel walked through a demo (ch. 6) that involves pushing a docker image to a repository, and then deploying the docker image to K8s, and creating the app almost from the very beginning. That lab has been very helpful. I wanted to try to create an app from docker in the app engine flexible environment, because I haven’t had a lot of practice with it.
If you guys have any interesting challenges, or different methods for creating a configuration file, I’m open to any ideas and could definitely use the practice!
