Importing a site archive

To import an existing Drupal application to Cloud Platform by using a site archive file:

1. Create a Drupal site archive file for import by exporting your existing Drupal application.
2. Import your website into the non-production environment of your Cloud Platform application by using Drush

Cloud Platform commits your application code to your Cloud Platform code repository, installs the database, and uploads your files.
