Can I create services like app engine and cloud functions using deployment manager ?

[Pratyusha11]

I want to publish my application to gcp marketplace ,I wanted to know if it's possible to create deployment manager templates which creates app engine to host my UI and cloud functions for the backend (server). So far in every documentation I have seen that we can only create either a VM or a GKE via deployment manager to publish the app's in GCP marketplace .

Note : I don't want to create a Saas offering , as I don't want to run or manage any services  in my instance.

Hi @Pratyusha11 ,

Based on your comment that you "don't want to run or manage any services  in my instance", it looks like your goal is to offer a serverless app in Marketplace. Did I understand correctly?

The currently supported options for offering software on Marketplace are listed here: https://cloud.google.com/marketplace/docs/partners/get-started#supported-solutions. As you noted, App Engine, is not in that list.

Hi @kumards 
Thanks for the information.I wanted to know one more thing.If i choose to go ahead with the VM offering,how will the user be able to access my app's url .
Let be more clear - I have written deployment manager template which creates a VM ,pulls the docker image from gcp artifact registry and runs the container.Now how will the customer access the app ? will gcp marketplace provide the app's url for the customer ? Will the app be routed over https ?

Hi @Pratyusha11 , I see that you've started another thread for the same/related question: https://www.googlecloudcommunity.com/gc/Infrastructure-Compute-Storage/How-to-get-the-app-url-for-vm.... I've posted a response there.
