Seconding what Alex has said - if you'd like to run an Endpoints API <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/java/endpoints/>*and *redis on your instance (although for reasons explained above, I advise against this and you'd do much better to put the DB on a Compute Engine instance), Managed VMs are the option you'd want to use, since they allow arbitrary port connections, processes and filesystem access (all needed by redis/mongo/mysql/etc.).
