I've been using the standard environment setting vm:true
on my app.yaml
I know that this flag is now deprecated and I won't be able to use it in the future... I also know that Flexible Environment is currently in Beta, so my question is, will env:flex
be the replacement for vm:true
? If so will it be stable by then?
Thanks
In general Beta products come with no SLA and this is highlighted on App Engine Flexible Environment:
This is a Beta release of the App Engine flexible environment. It is
not covered by any SLA or deprecation policy and the implementation
may change, possibly in backward-incompatible ways. It is not
recommended for production use.
However, there is this note in Upgrading to the Latest App Engine Flexible Environment Beta Release (emphasis mine):
All applications created in the vm:true
environment will continue to
work for at least 6 months after the App Engine flexible
environment becomes generally available. At that point, all customers
need to switch to the env:flex
environment.
