I have a Spring Boot application and I migrated my project from Java 8 to Java 17, and I could deploy normally on october 14. I could see in the logs that the app was running on Java 17.

On october 15, I just added a small feature, with no changes in the configuration, and then I started to get the error:

(gcloud.app.deploy) Error Response: [9] An internal error occurred while processing task /app-engine-flex/flex_await_healthy/flex_await_healthy>2023-10-18T13:49:28.335Z4576.uc.1: Start command: java -showversion -Xms3276M -Xmx3276M -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:+ParallelRefProcEnabled -XX:+PrintCommandLineFlags -jar app.jar

I made no changes in configuration, but since october 15 I got this error every single day and I can't deploy my application.

I wrote my app.yaml following the Google Cloud instructions for app engine flex running with Java 17:

runtime: java
env: flex
runtime_config:
  operating_system: ubuntu22
  runtime_version: 17
  
service: api
  
handlers:
- url: /.*
  script: this field is required, but ignored
  
resources:
  cpu: 1
  memory_gb: 4
  disk_size_gb: 40


automatic_scaling:
  min_num_instances: 1
  max_num_instances: 1
  
  cpu_utilization:
    target_utilization: 0.85
  
env_variables:                      
    SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE: prod

Does someone have an idea of what is going wrong?
