Modules can specify different sizes of instances (F1 vs. F4), frontend or backend instances (F1 vs B1), so they need their own instances allocated to them. If you're concerned about high instance usage under low load, you can configure the admin module as a basic scaling instance with a low *idle_timeout* parameter so the instance shuts down quickly when not in use: https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/modules/#Python_Instance_scaling_and_class ----------------- -Vinny P Technology & Media Advisor Chicago, IL App Engine Code Samples: http://www.learntogoogleit.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
