Hello John, An App Engine instance will normally not start on it's own unless otherwise specified through configurations or there are any activities in the application. Below are some scenarios why you may see another instance starting up after you shut one down:
- Manual scaling; or Automatic scaling with a minimum number of instances. See how applications scale <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/scaling>. - A request received at the applications URL after shutting the instance down. - A scheduled task <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/config/cron> (Cron). Also, you can use Cloud Logging <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/articles/logging> to view logs for the App Engine application and find out which request/activity may have triggered the instance to be started. I hope it helps. Cheers! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
