Cloud Run

Google Cloud fully managed serverless platform that runs stateless containers and scales automatically, including to zero.

Definition

Cloud Run runs any container listening for requests (services), run-to-completion jobs and worker pools. It provides HTTPS endpoints, request-based autoscaling with configurable concurrency per instance, traffic splitting between revisions, VPC access and IAM-based invocation control, with pay-per-use billing.

Example

gcloud run deploy api --image=us-docker.pkg.dev/acme/app/api:1.4 --region=us-central1 deploys a service.

Exam tip

Choose Cloud Run for serverless containers without managing clusters; choose GKE when you need Kubernetes control.
