Overview

In this lab, you will deploy a simple ASP.NET Core app to App Engine flexible environment. This lab builds on the Build and launch an ASP.NET Core app from Google Cloud Shell lab.

ASP.NET Core is an open-source and cross-platform framework for building modern cloud-based and internet-connected applications using the C# programming language.

Google App Engine applications are easy to create, maintain, and scale as your traffic and data storage needs change. With App Engine, there are no servers to manage. You simply upload your application and it's ready to go.

App Engine applications automatically scale based on incoming traffic. App Engine natively supports load balancing, microservices, authorization, SQL and NoSQL databases, Memcache, traffic splitting, logging, search, versioning, roll out and roll backs, and security scanning, all of which are highly customizable.

App Engine's environments, the standard environment and the flexible environment, support a host of programming languages, including C#, Java, Python, PHP, Node.js, Go, and more. The two environments give users maximum flexibility in how their application behaves, since each environment has certain strengths. For more information, read Choosing an App Engine Environment.
