Deploying an Application to the Jetty Runtime

This page describes how to deploy your project to the App Engine flexible environment Jetty runtime.

    Go to Google Cloud console

    1. Select or create a new Google Cloud project.

  2. Sign in to a Google account that is used to deploy your project to App Engine.

    1. Run the following command

      gcloud auth application-default login

    2. Your system browser opens outside of the CLI and asks for the permissions it needs to manage your App Engine applications:

      1. View and manage your data across Google Cloud services
