I have a .NET MVC application (front end) that communicates with a Web API application (back end) and I am migrating from Azure to GCP.

Using Google Cloud Platform, is it possible to have both MVC and Web API web applications (.NET Framework) on the same compute engine instance?

Yes, it is possible. The Compute Engine Instance is running Internet Information Server (IIS), and IIS can run multiple websites.

I'll describe how to do it using Google Cloud Tools for Visual Studio.

  1. Download a .publishsettings file for your webserver. In Visual Studio's Google Cloud Explorer window, right click the compute engine instance and choose Save publishing settings... enter image description here
  2. Save the .publishsettings file locally.
  3. In Visual Studio's Solution Explorer Window, right-click your application name, and choose Publish... enter image description here
  4. Select Import profile, click the gear icon in the bottom right, and click Create Profile. enter image description here
  5. In the project window, click Settings... enter image description here
  6. In the Publish window, give each app a unique Site name and Destination url. enter image description here
  7. Click Save.
  8. Click Publish. enter image description here
