Deploy a service in Cloud Code for VS Code

This page shows you how to deploy a service to Cloud Run using Cloud Code for VS Code.

Deploying a service to Cloud Run

To deploy your service to Cloud Run:

  1. Open the command palette (press Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+P or click View > Command Palette) and then run the Deploy to Cloud Run command.

  2. In the Deploy to Cloud Run pane, set your Google Cloud project.

  3. Select a preexisting service or create a new one.

  4. If you're creating a new service, choose your platform preferences under Deployment Platform, either Cloud Run (fully managed) or Cloud Run for Anthos. For help choosing the best option for your development needs, see the Choosing your platform guide.

  5. If you selected Cloud Run (fully managed), choose a region to deploy to. If you selected Cloud Run for Anthos, configure the Kubernetes cluster information.

  6. (Optional) To specify additional settings like service account, environment variables, and SQL connections, expand the Advanced revision settings section.

    The following environment variables are automatically added to the running containers:

    Name Description Example
    PORT The port your HTTP server should listen on. 8080
    K_SERVICE The name of the Cloud Run service being run. hello-world
    K_REVISION The name of the Cloud Run revision being run. hello-world.1
    K_CONFIGURATION The name of the Cloud Run configuration that created the revision. hello-world

  7. Under Build environment, specify whether to build locally or using Cloud Build.

  8. Specify your builder (Docker or Buildpack) and its settings.

  9. After you define your preferred settings, click Deploy.

    Cloud Code for VS Code builds your image, pushes it to the registry, and deploys your service to Cloud Run. Your service is now live!

  10. View your running service by following the URL displayed in the webview.

    You can also view details of your running service by clicking the Show Detailed Logs button and looking through your verbose logs in the output window.

    • View Logs: Open the application logs of a specific deployment with the Cloud Code Logs Explorer
    • Open URL: Open the application service URL of a specific service in a web browser
  12. If you've turned off watch mode in your launch configuration and you want to make changes to your application and rebuild and redeploy the application, click the Cloud Code status bar and then click Turn on watch mode.
