Maybe I did not make myself clear: It appears that right now there are two ways to develop with GAE Standard.
(1) The original way: Use the Google App Engine SDK (GAESDK) (see the optional step in https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/download <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/download>) (2) Using the Google Cloud SDK (GCSDK) (this is what I meant by ‘gcloud' in my original post). It now seems to be the recommended way. I have been developing with GAE Standard since before the GCSDK so I have been happily using the GAESDK. My question is whether the GCSKD is in parity with the GAESDK and can now attempt to switch, whether there are any gotchas I should be aware etc. My environment is Python. Thanks PS Although the Google Platform Support answer is always welcome, I would mostly appreciate an answer from somebody who has gone through this, and has some hands on experience. > On Nov 3, 2016, at 3:00 PM, 'George (Cloud Platform Support)' via Google App > Engine <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi PK, > An interesting question, thanks. > In fact, gcloud is a part of the Google Cloud SDK.
