I have a data processing module as part of my GAE application. TensorFlow has separate installers for Linux and OSX, which indicates to me that it might not play nicely with the GAE sandbox. Is it possible to use TensorFlow in a GAE module?

  • you can take a look [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33821449/starting-tensorflow-on-docker-on-google-cloud), although not sure if this is the thing you are looking for. But docker installation would be easier i think. – Shubhashis Jan 02 '16 at 06:29

No, you won't be able to install TensorFlow on standard instances.

You can, however, install whatever you like on managed VMs instances. Though it may be easier to use compute engine instances instead.

  • Do you have any idea why this is? - beyond the fact that Standard services are "sandboxed". What is it specifically about TensorFlow that isn't allowed in the Standard environment when compared to other libraries/dependencies? – willbattel Aug 12 '19 at 08:46

    TensorFlow is C++. The standard environment (at this time) only supports code written in Python, Java, Node.js, PHP, Ruby, and Go. https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/the-appengine-environments – Doug Richardson Aug 12 '19 at 17:51
