Unable to set manual scaling on a google app engine service
<p>I am unable to set manual scaling on a google app engine service (Previously called module). Using python on app engine. </p>

<p><strong><em>app.yaml:</em></strong></p>

<pre><code>application: xxx-xxxx
version: 2
runtime: python27
module: xxbackend
instance_class: F4
api_version: 1
threadsafe: true

handlers:
- url: /taskcontroller\.py
  script: TaskController.app

so on...

libraries:
- name: webapp2
  version: latest
- name: numpy
  version: "1.6.1"
- name: PIL
  version: latest

inbound_services:
- warmup
</code></pre>

<p><strong><em>xxbackend.yaml:</em></strong></p>

<pre><code>application: xxx-xxxx
version: uno
module: xxbackend
runtime: python27
api_version: 1
instance_class: B4
manual_scaling:
  instances: 5
</code></pre>

<p>Even though I have specified instance class and manual scaling settings in xxbackend.yaml, the xxbackend instances are still autoscaled. Can someone point out where I am going wrong?</p>

<p>You have the same <code>module:</code> name is both yamls.  <code>app.yaml</code> should not specify a module, so it uses the <code>default</code> module.  So remove <code>module: xxbackend</code> from <code>app.yaml</code>.  Otherwise, you are overriding the expected config.</p>

<p>Then, when you deploy, use a command like:</p>

<p><code>appcfg.py update app.yaml xxbackend.yaml</code></p>

<p>That deploys both updated yaml files.</p>
