Creating a Cloud Run for Anthos GKE cluster

Note: For developing and testing an app, create and run on a non-production cluster.
For changes that will be rolled out to production however, use an automated CI/CD workflow.

If you'd like to develop a Cloud Run app using Cloud Code and Anthos, you can use Cloud Code to create a Google Kubernetes Engine cluster with Cloud Run for Anthos enabled and easily deploy your app to your newly created cluster.

Creating a GKE cluster with Cloud Run for Anthos enabled

Using the GKE Explorer, you can quickly create a cluster with Cloud Run for Anthos support enabled:

1. In the header of the Google Kubernetes Engine Explorer panel, click on the plus icon (visible only on mouseover) to launch the Create Cluster wizard.
2. Then, choose your preferred project ID (or use the default one), zone/region, and configuration (cluster name, number of nodes and machine type).
3. Select 'Enable Cloud Run for Anthos'.
4. Click 'Create Cluster'.

Important: Running a GKE configuration can be costly. GKE is billed differently than Cloud Run (fully managed), so you will be billed for each node in your cluster, even if you have no services deployed to them. To avoid charges, you should delete your cluster or scale the number of the nodes in the cluster to zero if you are not using it.
