SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Deploying containerized workloads to Google Cloud Run involves choosing between services, jobs, and worker pools, configuring IAM roles, and handling deployment failures, which is error-prone without structured guidance. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Service Deployment: Deploy HTTP services from container images or source code, with buildpacks, Dockerfile, or no-build options. - Jobs and Worker Pools: Create and execute parallelizable batch jobs and deploy always-on pull-based worker pools for queue consumers. - Troubleshooting & References: Diagnose IAM errors, boot crashes, and native dependency issues using dedicated reference docs on CLI usage, Terraform, networking, and security. - Use Case: Deploy a Node.js API from source with gcloud run deploy, then configure IAM invoker roles and Direct VPC egress following the networking reference. ## Quick Start Deploy my container image us-docker.pkg.dev/my-project/repo/app:latest as a Cloud Run service named my-api in us-central1 with public access.

FAQPage Schema
How do I deploy a container to Cloud Run?▼

Run gcloud run deploy SERVICE_NAME with the --image flag pointing to your container image in Artifact Registry or Docker Hub, plus --region and --allow-unauthenticated if public access is needed. You can also deploy from source code using --source . which uses buildpacks and Cloud Build.

What is the difference between Cloud Run services, jobs, and worker pools?▼

Services respond to HTTP requests with autoscaling HTTPS endpoints. Jobs execute parallelizable tasks to completion, manually or on a schedule. Worker pools handle always-on pull-based background processing like Kafka or Pub/Sub consumers.

Why does my Cloud Run service crash on boot?▼

The most common cause is the container listening on 127.0.0.1 instead of 0.0.0.0, or not using the injected PORT environment variable which defaults to 8080. Fetch logs with gcloud logging read filtered by the service name to find the exact runtime error.

Can I deploy Cloud Run resources with Terraform?▼

Yes, the Google Cloud Terraform provider supports google_cloud_run_v2_service, google_cloud_run_v2_job, and google_cloud_run_v2_worker_pool resources. The references include working examples for all three resource types plus IAM bindings.

What IAM roles are required to deploy to Cloud Run?▼

You need Cloud Run Admin, Cloud Run Source Developer, Service Account User on the service identity, and Logs Viewer on the project. The Cloud Build service account also needs the Cloud Run Builder role to build your sources.
