Technologies

– Google Cloud Platform
– Angular

Goal

– We deploy Angular Application on Google App Engine:

Practice

Create Google App Engine & Storage

– Use your Google account -> Go to the Google Cloud Console then Login with your Google account. Create a Google App Engine gcp-angular-app:

– On Search box, search Storage, and create a bucket-angular-app bucket.

Now the cloud is almost setup

Build Angular Application

* Get the sourcecode here!

Build Angular application with production mode:

ng build --prod --output-path angularapp

-> Results:

Create Config file

We create a config file app.yaml that will be used by Google Cloud App Engine to deploy the project:

runtime: python27
api_version: 1
threadsafe: true

handlers:
- url: /
  static_files: angularapp/index.html
  upload: angularapp/index.html
- url: /
  static_dir: angularapp

Upload Angular build & Config files

– Go to the bucket bucket-angular-app, then select the Upload Files & Upload Folder to upload
app.yaml & build angularapp folder to the cloud bucket.

Deployment

– Open the in-browser terminal window Google Cloud Interactive Shell.

– Create a folder: grokonez-angular-app by mkdir cmd.
– Sync the data from the bucket bucket-angular-app into this directory grokonez-angular-app by cmd:

$gsutil rsync -r gs://bucket-angular-app ./grokonez-angular-app

-> Details:
