Serverless App Engine:Deploy a Python application by using a ZIP package in the SAE console

Procedure

1. Log on to the SAE console.
2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Applications. In the top navigation bar, select a region. Then, click Create Application.
3. In the Basic Information step, configure the parameters and click Next: Application Deployment Configurations.

   Parameter	Description
   Application Name	Enter a custom application name.
   VPC	Select a configuration method for the VPC. Valid values: Custom Configuration: If you select this option, you must manually specify the namespace, VPC, vSwitch, and security group for the application that you want to create. Automatic Configuration: If you select this option, SAE automatically specifies the namespace, VPC, vSwitch, and security group for the application.
   Namespace	This parameter is required only if the VPC parameter is set to Custom Configuration. Select an existing namespace from the drop-down list. Note Namespaces and VPCs are in one-to-one mapping relationships. For information about how to modify a VPC, see Create and manage a VPC.
   vSwitch	This parameter is required only if the VPC parameter is set to Custom Configuration. Click Select vSwitch. In the Select vSwitch dialog box, configure the parameters. You must specify at least one vSwitch. We recommend that you specify no more than three vSwitches. Each vSwitch must match at least one application instance.
   Security Group	This parameter is required only if the VPC parameter is set to Custom Configuration. Select a security group from the drop-down list. Note If you have not created a security group in your VPC, click Create Security Group to create a security group as prompted. For more information, see Create a security group.
   Application Instances	Select the number of instances that you want to create.
   VCPU	Select the CPU specification for the instances that you want to create.
   Memory	Select the memory specification for the instances that you want to create.
   Application Description	Enter the basic information about the application.

4. In the Deployment Configurations step, configure the parameters.
   1. Configure the parameters that are used to deploy an application.

      Parameter	Description
      Technology Stack Programming Language	Select Python.
      Application Deployment Method	Select Deployment with ZIP Packages.
      Run components	Select an environment from the Python environment drop-down list.
      File Upload method	Select Upload Zip package or Zip package address. Upload Zip package: Click Select File and select the ZIP package that you want to use ZIP Address: Enter the directory in which the ZIP package is stored. Note Format of the package name: The package name can contain only letters, digits, hyphens (-), and underscores (_), and the extension must be .zip. This format is the same as the name format of the WAR package and JAR package that are used to deploy Java applications. Structure of the package directory: You must make sure that the requirements on the directory structure of the ZIP package are met. For more information, see Create a ZIP package for a Python application.
      Version	The version number of the application. Enter a version number or click Use timestamp as version number.
      Time zone settings	Select the time zone of the application. Example: UTC+8.
      Custom installation module dependencies	Select this option to install dependencies in the requirements.txt file in the root directory. If the package does not contain this file and you do not configure custom dependencies in the package, specify the dependencies that you want to install in the text box.

   2. Optional:Configure the following advanced settings based on your business requirements.

      Advanced setting	Documentation
      Startup Command Settings	Configure a startup command
      Environment Variable Settings	Configure environment variables
      Hosts Binding Settings	Configure host bindings
      Application Health Check	Configure application health checks
      Application Outbound/Inbound Internet Access	Bind an EIP to a NAT gateway Enable Internet access for SAE instances based on EIPs
      Application Lifecycle Management	Configure application lifecycle management
      Log Collection Service	Configure log collection to Log Service Collect logs to Message Queue for Apache Kafka
      Persistent Storage	Configure NAS storage
      Configuration Management	Inject configurations

5. Click Next: Confirm Specifications.
6. In the Specification Confirmation step, view the details of the application and the fee for the selected specifications. Then, click Confirm.
   The Creation Completed step appears. You can click Application Details to go to the Basic Information page of the application.
7. Verify whether the configurations have taken effect.
   • Method 1:

     In the left-side navigation pane of the Basic Information page, click Change Records. On the Change Records page, view the change details. If Executed is displayed in the Change Status column, the application is deployed and the configurations have taken effect.

   • Method 2:

     On the Basic Information page, click the Instance Deployment Information tab to view the Status of the instances. If Running is displayed in the Status column, the application is deployed and the configurations have taken effect.
