ERROR: (gcloud.app.deploy) Error Response: [13] in deploying flex environment in Google App Engine

I'm trying to get GDAL to work in Google App Engine. I've been following this post. I've got a similar app.yaml and Dockerfile alongside my script and requirements.txt as a part of my deployment folder. I'm getting the following error after running

gcloud app deploy

Updating service [default] (this may take several minutes)...failed.

]

After doing some looking around, Error Response [13] seems to be associated with permissions. I have the Owner role in the IAM, so I'm not sure that's the issue. If anybody has any suggestions of things to try, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Solution

  • I've ran into similar issues and the workaround was to specify the number of instances to a maximum of two, this can be done either through manual_scaling or max_num_instances while using automatic scaling.

    Your app.yaml file would something similar to:

    Using automatic scaling

    runtime: custom
env: flex
entrypoint: gunicorn -b :$PORT mysite.wsgi
runtime_config:
  python_version: 3.7
automatic_scaling:
  min_num_instances: 1
  max_num_instances: 2

    Using manual scaling:

    runtime: custom
env: flex
entrypoint: gunicorn -b :$PORT mysite.wsgi
runtime_config:
  python_version: 3.7
manual_scaling:
  instances: 2
