GCloud deployment to app engine responds with a bad request

Question

I'm trying to deploy an app to App Engine using a Docker container (I'm running on Mac). The project has no instance initially.

These are the versions I have:

• docker v1.6.2
• boot2docker v1.6.2
• GCloud SDK v0.9.61

My Docker container runs fine locally (with docker run or with gcloud preview app run which probably means that my Dockerfile and app.yml are fine).

When trying to deploy it to production using gcloud preview app deploy app.yml, the server responds with a Bad Request.

ERROR: (gcloud.preview.app.deploy) Server responded with code [400]:
  Bad Request Unexpected HTTP status 400

Did I forget to do something in the google developer console or anything ?

edit: deploying to a fresh project worked. I still don't know about the bad request though.

edit 2: after playing around a bit, I think it could be due (the bad request) to selecting EU servers when creating the project.

edit 3: Error details. The thing that seems weird is the expiration date. DEBUG: Unexpected results: {'status': '400', 'alternate-protocol': '443:quic,p=1', 'content-length': '73', 'expires': 'Fri, 01 Jan 1990 00:00:00 GMT', 'server': 'Google Frontend', 'cache-control': 'no-cache', 'date': 'Sat, 23 May 2015 11:49:41 GMT', 'content-type': 'text/plain'}

edit 4: According to this thread, Managed VMs are not available in EU projects. This should be why.

Answer 1

According to this thread, Managed VMs are not available in EU projects yet. This should be why.

Ryan (Cloud Platform Support) - 26/05/15

[...] Managed VM's are currently only available in US projects [...]

(update) Now on the official documentation:

While in Beta, United States only. European Union-hosted applications should not deploy apps to the flexible environment.
