deploy a war into EC2 using cloudfoundry console - amazon-ec2

I have been trying hard to deploy a java application through cloudfoundry into an Amazon EC2 instance using the console as described in this screencast video on cloud foundry.
http://classic.cloudfoundry.com/screencasts.html
but only failing to get the console where I can deploy by choosing a war from the local file system, as explained in the video..
What is the correct URL where I can find a console similar to the one shown in the video ??
And I have already tried signing up for the url http://classis.cloudfoundry.com, but not getting an approval or acknowledgement mail from the team even after 4 days..
Did anyone face similar issue in the recent times?
If yes please help!

The Cloud Foundry Classic service (at http://classic.cloudfoundry.com) is no longer accepting new accounts.

Is it possible for .gcloudignore in Google Cloud to skip updating a file?

I have just started developing a Golang app, and have deployed it on Google App Engine. But, when I try to connect my local server to CloudSQL instance through proxy, I am able to connect only through TCP.
However, when connecting with the same CloudSQL instance in AppEngine, I am able to connect only through UNIX.
To cope with this, I have made changes in my local environment handler file, so that it can adapt to local and GCloud config, but I'm not sure how I can skip the update on just this file for GCloud? Again, I don't want AppEngine to delete this file, I just want the CLI to avoid uploading the new version of the handler file.
I use this command for deploying: gcloud app deploy
Currently, I deploy directly to AppEngine, instead of pushing it through VCS. Also, if there is an option to detect if the app is running on AppEngine, then it'd be really great.
TIA
Got it, in case anyone gets stuck in such situation, we can make use of environment variables set in GCloud AppEngine. Although there is documentation stating the environment variables, I would still give importance to checking the environment variables in Cloud Console.

How to deploy Laravel 8 google cloud run with google cloud database

Iam looking for help to containerize a laravel application with docker, running it locally and make it deployable to gcloud Run, connected to a gcloud database.
My application is an API, build with laravel, and so far i have just used the docker-compose/sail package, that comes with laravel 8, in the development.
Here is what i want to achieve:
Laravel app running on gcloud Run.
Database in gcloud, Mysql, PostgreSQL or SQL server. (prefer Mysql).
Enviroment stored in gcloud.
My problem is can find any info if or how to use/rewrite the docker-composer file i laravel 8, create a Dockerfile or cloudbuild file, and build it for gcloud.
Maybe i could add something like this in a cloudbuild.yml file:
#cloudbuild.yml
steps:
# running docker-compose
- name: 'docker/compose:1.26.2'
args: ['up', '-d']
Any help/guidanceis is appreciated.
As mentioned in the comments to this question you can check this video that explains how you can use docker-composer, laravel to deploy an app to Cloud Run with a step-by-step tutorial.
As per database connection to said app, the Connecting from Cloud Run (fully managed) to Cloud SQL documentation is quite complete on that matter and for secret management I found this article that explains how to implement secret manager into Cloud Run.
I know this answer is basically just links to the documentation and articles, but I believe all the information you need to implement your app into Cloud Run is in those.

Running one-off Cloud Foundry Tasks [duplicate]

After my app is successfully pushed via cf I usually need do manually ssh-log into the container and execute a couple of PHP scripts to clear and warmup my cache, potentially execute some DB schema updates etc.
Today I found out about Cloudfoundry Tasks which seems to offer a pretty way to do exactly this kind of things and I wanted to test it whether I can integrate it into my build&deploy script.
So used cf login, got successfully connected to the right org and space, app has been pushed and is running and I tried this command:
cf run-task MYAPP "bin/console doctrine:schema:update --dump-sql --env=prod" --name dumpsql
(tried it with a couple of folder changes like app/bin/console etc.)
and this was the output:
Creating task for app MYAPP in org MYORG / space MYSPACE as me#myemail...
Unexpected Response
Response Code: 404
FAILED
Uses CF CLI: 6.32.0
cf logs ArcticTenTestBackend --recent does not output anything (this might be the case because I have enabled an ELK instance for logging - as I wanted to service-connect to ELK to look up the logs I found out that the service-connector cf plugin is gone for which I will open a new ticket).
Created new Issue for that: https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cli/issues/1242
This is not a CF CLI issue. Swisscom Application Cloud does not yet support the Cloud Foundry tasks. This explains the 404 you are currently receiving. We will expose this feature of Cloud Foundry in an upcoming release of Swisscom Application Cloud.
In the meantime, maybe you can find a way to execute your one-off tasks (cache warming, DB migrations) at application startup.
As mentioned by #Mathis Kretz Swisscom has gotten around to enable cf run-task since this question was posted. They send out e-mails on 22. November 2018 to announce the feature.
As discussed on your linked documentation you use the following commands to manage tasks:
cf tasks [APP_NAME]
cf run-task [APP_NAME] [COMMAND]
cf terminate-task [APP_NAME] [TASK_ID]

Pattern to deploy AWS Beanstalk in laravel

I have been following this guide:
https://deliciousbrains.com/scaling-laravel-using-aws-elastic-beanstalk-part-3-setting-elastic-beanstalk/
However I am stuck at this point.
Not in terms of something not working, but in how it should be done properly. Which app I should deploy?
Is is the development app that is tested and deployed? Do I create another instance in AWS that will be only used to deploy ready apps? What is the pattern to follow?
At the moment I have local development server which runs on my PC, and also 1 Development instance EC2 on AWS. Do I need more than that on top of Elastic beanstalk?
Please advice me! Thanks!
The following pattern is the one that best fits your need. You're not just looking for a pattern, but an architecture. I'll try to help you with the information you provided.
First it is important that you really understand what Beanstalk is and how it works. See: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/en/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/Welcome.html
Answering your question, applications are typically placed in the beanstalk for scalable production, but nothing prevents you from setting up development environments for testing, too.
You do not need to create an instance to deploy, you can deploy from your own local machine, using the console, cli, or api. Look:
Console: https://sa-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/home
EB Cli: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/en/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/eb-cli3.html
API: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/en/elasticbeanstalk/latest/api/Welcome.html
Having said that, I will cite a very useful scenario in several cases:
You create a beanstalk application from the console or cli and configure the integration with AWS CodeCommit. CodeCommit will prevent you from having to send the whole project to each deploy.
You create an instance of amazon to perform the implantation. This instance has a git repository of your project, it gets committed to the beanstalk environment settings (environment variables for example), and deploy to beanstalk using CodeCommit.
This scenario is very useful for a team project for beanstalk because you can use the deployment instance to hide sensitive details and configure deploy patterns.

How to deploy Camunda BPM to Tomcat in Jelastic

I would like to setup Camunda-BPM in a Tomcat 7 running on Jelastic. I followed the instructions.
The problem now is that Jelastic does not allow to add the file bpm-platform.xml into the catalina-home/conf directory. So when I start the tomcat I get
...
Caused by: org.camunda.bpm.engine.ProcessEngineException: /opt/tomcat/conf/bpm-platform.xml does not exist. This file is necessary for deploying the camunda BPM platform
Can someone please give me a hint where I can place bpm-platform.xml so that the BPM engine starts?
The directory you're looking for is labelled as 'server' in the Jelastic dashboard - but sadly you cannot upload new files to this directory via the dashboard (only edit the existing ones).
However, you can write to this directory via FTP (http://docs.jelastic.com/ftp-ftps-support), so you should be able to add the file that way.
If you are just using a trial account at the moment, you may need to seek assistance from your hosting provider to add the file there for you manually from their side (since trial accounts do not have public IP, so can't use FTP).
