Deploy App Engine Managed VM for Java to non-default network

Question

While deploying a Java application to App Engine Managed VM (using gcloud preview app...), I receive the following error:

ERROR: (gcloud.compute.firewall-rules.create) Some requests did not succeed:
The resource 'projects/my-project-name/global/networks/default' was not found

Our project does not have a network named "default", rather, it has been renamed and uses subnets.

Does anyone know a way to tell gcloud preview app to use a specific network? It appears to only want one specifically named "default"

Answer 1

Disclaimer - I haven't actually tried this :) You should be able to override the network name in your app.yaml:

network:
  name: <network-name>

Add that to app.yaml, and redeploy. Hope this helps!
