After you create an application draft from a template, you can deploy the
application from the Google Cloud console. When you deploy from the
Google Cloud console, you can do the following:
Preview changes that Terraform plans to make to your infrastructure.
Enable Google Cloud resource APIs that are required for your application.
Investigate deployment issues.
Use telemetry data to analyze resource performance.
Identify and apply template revisions to your application.
This document helps you deploy, manage, and modify your application.
Before you begin
You must have one of the following
roles on the app-enabled
folder or management project:
To deploy the application with a service account,
you must have one of the following:
Your own service account that you configured to deploy applications and
underlying resources. For more information, see Grant roles to your service account.
The Project IAM Admin (roles/resourcemanager.projectIamAdmin) role on the
app-enabled folder. This role lets you create a new service account during
deployment.
Deploy from the Google Cloud console
Select a service account option and deploy your application. When you deploy an
application, Google Cloud resources are created, and you begin to incur charges
associated with those resources.
From the Application details page, review the details and click Edit
to make changes.
Click Deploy.
Select one of the following service accounts to deploy your application:
Select a service account: In the Service account field, enter
the name of an existing service account. To configure the service
account, see Grant roles to your service account.
Create a new service account: You must have the Project IAM Admin
(roles/resourcemanager.projectIamAdmin) role, which is used to assign
the required deployment roles to the service account.
Click Proceed.
To preview the changes that Terraform plans to make to your infrastructure,
do the following:
Click Preview.
Review the changes and click Copy and close. The preview is copied to
your clipboard.
To save the preview, paste and save in a document of your choice.
In the Review APIs area, review the list of APIs that are required for
your application. The APIs are automatically enabled when you deploy.
Click Deploy. The application details and deployment status are
displayed as the deployment completes.
If there are issues with your deployment, do the following:
In the Application details panel, click Deployments.
Review the error messages.
Click View logs to view detailed build information.
From the table, click the Application name. The Application details
panel displays the following:
View app in App Hub: Investigate your application in
App Hub. You can view deployed resources and examine
telemetry data to diagnose issues and analyze performance. For more
information, see Monitor App Hub
applications.
App Details: View information like the last updated date, source
template, region, and service account.
Outputs: Identify service URIs, which you can use to interact with
your application frontend or backend.
Deployments: Examine the deployment status, deployment errors, and
links to logs to troubleshoot errors.
Modify deployed applications
If you want to modify a deployed application, do one of the following to make
sure that your changes are retained when you redeploy the application:
If your application was previously deployed from the Google Cloud console, and
an administrator has shared a template revision with you, you can apply the
template changes to your application. When you update your application, an
application revision is created. You can configure components that were modified
or added to the revised template.
You can view available template revisions for your applications using
Cloud Hub. For more information, see View deployments.
To apply template revisions to your application, do the following:
