Hi, Cloud Memorystore Memcache is a product that is actually in alpha status right now. There is no public documentation available for this as far as I can see. https://console.cloud.google.com/memorystore/memcache/instances During february of this year they shared a Google Form for the ones who might be interested on alpha program (sorry but I'm not able to find the url).
I understand that [Cloud Memorystore Memcache] is the "managed" service that is (will be) available as stand-alone service instead of being integrated only on App Engine. The same roadmap that tasks (Cloud Task), cron (Cloud Scheduler), datastore (Cloud Datastore) services have followed before this one, which historically were available only as built-in services of App Engine standard.
