Pre-release documentation can't be made available to the public unfortunately. My recommendation is to read the current available App Engine <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs>and gcloud docs <https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/app/deploy> and test. I can list a few main differences here though:
1) New versions are promoted to receive all traffic by default. I'm of the opinion that this is bad, and hopefully the default will change, but for now you should disable this with the following command: gcloud config set app/promote_by_default false 2) In your app.yaml and service .yaml files, the 'application: ' and 'version: ' fields are not used. You should set the project to deploy to with 'gcloud config set project', and the version is automatically generated, or set with the '--version=' flag to 'gcloud app deploy'. 3) You can use 'gcloud app deploy <deployable.yaml>' for any .yaml, such as cron.yaml, dispatch.yaml and indexes.yaml. No need for separate commands like update_indexes and update_dispatch. 4) For Java apps, everything is done using the new Gcloud Maven Plugin <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/java/tools/using-maven> which handles translating the .xml config files to .yaml files for deployment. It's similar to how the App Engine Maven Plugin worked on the standalone SDK, but the plugin goals are different. 5) There is no vacuum_indexes command, instead you would use 'gcloud preview datastore cleanup-indexes' <https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/preview/datastore/cleanup-indexes> .
