SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Deploying containerized workloads to Google Cloud Run involves choosing the right resource type, configuring IAM roles, and handling deployment failures, which can be error-prone without clear 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 batch jobs with retries and parallelism, and deploy always-on worker pools for pull-based workloads like Pub/Sub consumers. - Troubleshooting Guidance: Diagnose IAM errors, boot crashes, and native dependency issues with targeted recovery steps. - Use Case: A developer needs to deploy a Node.js API to Cloud Run from source, grant the correct IAM roles, and debug a healthcheck failure by reading logs. ## Quick Start Deploy my application in the current directory to Cloud Run as a service named my-api in us-central1 with unauthenticated access allowed.

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

Run gcloud run deploy with the service name, --image flag pointing to your container image, a region, and optionally --allow-unauthenticated. Images can come from Artifact Registry or Docker Hub, with Artifact Registry recommended.

How to deploy to Cloud Run from source code?▼

Use gcloud run deploy SERVICE_NAME --source . to build with Cloud Build and buildpacks automatically. You can also use --no-build with a base image for faster preview deployments without the build step.

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

Services respond to HTTP requests with autoscaling stateless instances. Jobs run parallelizable tasks to completion, manually or on a schedule. Worker pools handle always-on pull-based workloads like Kafka or Pub/Sub consumers.

Why does my Cloud Run service crash on boot?▼

The most common cause is code listening on 127.0.0.1 instead of 0.0.0.0, or not using the injected $PORT environment variable. Fetch logs with gcloud logging read to find the exact runtime error.

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.
