Possible to allow docker to run as privileged in App Engine

[paulengland]

I see that Compute Engine supports setting the docker process to run containers as privileged, with the --container-privileged flag. Simply curious if the same can be done for App Engine?

I have a monolith that calls other arbitrary containers which I would like to deploy, ideally without breaking the other containers into their own services.  I know that Cloud Run and Batch should be able to make short work of it, but for the immediate term I'd rather not touch the code.

Greetings @paulengland!

Welcome to the Google Cloud Community!

App Engine utilizes Artifact Registry to store container images for deployment to App Engine. Unlike Compute Engine, where it is stated that you can run your container in privileged mode, the App Registry's documentation does not mention the feature to run containers as privileged.

You can also contact Google Cloud Support if you need more clarification. Let me know if it helped, thanks!
