Can you deploy a rails application from any virtual machine? -

my question is, in essence, given virtual machine (say ubuntu 14.04), can deploy rails app. regardless of hosts machine?

i ask question because i'd host rails application through google's cloud compute engine vms. google's cloud compute allow me this?

thanks!

google cloud compute engine not limiting you, appengine does. it's traditional vm , can run there whatever want. can ubuntu vm , install software supported os

if looking ruby/rails, there official "click-to-deploy" vm: https://cloud.google.com/solutions/ruby/. of course can setup ruby stack using plain ubuntu, etc
