How can I switch my Gradle App Engine Standard deployment from Container Registry to Artifact Registry?

Want to use over 200+ MCP servers inside your coding tools like Cursor?
I am deploying a Java application on Google App Engine Standard using the Gradle task appengineDeploy.
Currently, my deployments are routed through Container Registry, but I want to migrate to Artifact Registry instead.
I reviewed the following documentation:
However, I didn't find instructions on how to perform the migration. Will App Engine Standard applications deployed via Gradle be automatically migrated once Container Registry is deprecated, or do I need to add a specific setting to the appengineDeploy task?
Thanks

Based on current information, you don’t need to change your Gradle configuration for the App Engine Standard deploy task. In other words, if you’re deploying via the standard appengineDeploy task, Google will automatically migrate your images from Container Registry to Artifact Registry when Container Registry is phased out.
That said, it’s important to verify you’re using a supported release of the App Engine Gradle plugin (and related tooling) that works correctly with the auto‐migration process. While there isn’t a specific flag (or artifactRegistry setting) you need to add right now, you should keep an eye on the release notes or relevant Google Cloud documentation in case future updates introduce an option or best practice update.
In summary:
- No additional setting is needed in your appengineDeploy task.
- Google Cloud’s auto migration will handle moving your images from Container Registry to Artifact Registry.
- Always check that you’re on the latest supported version of the tooling to ensure a smooth transition.
This should keep your deployment process working as expected when the migration occurs.

I found a solution, you can migrate Container Registry endpoints to Artifact Registry repositories without requiring any downtime or service disruption using the automatic migration tool by refer the following documentation docs and execute command:
BASHgcloud artifacts docker upgrade migrate \ --projects=PROJECTS
which will migrate all gcr.io repositories in the Container Registry to Artifact Registry and redirect all traffic from the gcr.io endpoint to Artifact Registry.
Once command has finished running, it will display message:
BASHgcr.io traffic is now being fully served by Artifact Registry for [PROJECT_ID]. Images will no longer be copied from Container Registry for this project
Once the process is completed, your App Engine will utilize the Artifact Registry when it is deployed/redeployed.
No changes to gradle are needed.
