One Java Application that will be deployed in App Engine must have a file named appengine-web.xml in its WAR, in the directory WEB-INF/.

I verified the gcloud app deploy command documentation and it seems that for Java 8 you need to run :

gcloud app deploy ~/my_app/WEB-INF/appengine-web.xml

That is the one that you are running.

On the other hand, I found this documentation (for Flexible ) that mentions how to organize your files in case that you want to use the app.yaml for java 8

As the documetnatyion indicated that,for Java8 Standard apps, you must add the path to the appengine-web.xml file inside the WEB-INF directory. gcloud app deploy skips files specified in the .gcloudignore file see gcloud topic gcloudignore for more information.
