Quickstart: Deploy to Cloud Run

This page shows you how to use Cloud Run to deploy a sample container.

Before you begin

  1. Sign in to your Google Cloud account. If you're new to Google Cloud, create an account to evaluate how our products perform in real-world scenarios. New customers also get $300 in free credits to run, test, and deploy workloads.

  2. In the Google Cloud console, on the project selector page, select or create a Google Cloud project.

    Roles required to select or create a project

    • Select a project: Selecting a project doesn't require a specific IAM role—you can select any project that you've been granted a role on.
    • Create a project: To create a project, you need the Project Creator role (roles/resourcemanager.projectCreator), which contains the resourcemanager.projects.create permission. Learn how to grant roles.

    Go to project selector

  3. If you're using an existing project for this guide, verify that you have the permissions required to complete this guide. If you created a new project, then you already have the required permissions.

  4. Verify that billing is enabled for your Google Cloud project.

  5. In the Google Cloud console, on the project selector page, select or create a Google Cloud project.

  7. Verify that billing is enabled for your Google Cloud project.

  8. Review Cloud Run pricing or estimate costs with the pricing calculator.

Required roles

To get the permissions that you need to complete this quickstart, ask your administrator to grant you the following IAM roles:

For more information about granting roles, see Manage access to projects, folders, and organizations.

You might also be able to get the required permissions through custom roles or other predefined roles.

Deploying the sample container

To deploy a container, follow these steps:

  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Cloud Run page:

    Go to Cloud Run

  2. Select Services from the menu, and click Deploy container.

  3. In the Create service form, ensure the Deploy one revision from an existing container image option is selected.

  4. In the Create service page, for Container image URL, click Test with a sample container.

  5. In the Service name field, enter a service name or use the default value.

  6. In the Region list, use the default value us-central1, or select the region where you want to deploy your container.

  7. In the Authentication section, select Allow public access.

  8. Click Create, and then wait for the container to deploy to Cloud Run. After deployment, the container's URL is displayed next to the text URL:.

  9. To view the running container, click Copy to clipboard to copy its URL, and then paste the URL into your browser's address bar.

    If you are under a domain restriction organization policy restricting unauthenticated invocations for your project, you will need to access your deployed service as described under Testing private services.

Cloud Run locations

Cloud Run is regional, which means the infrastructure that runs your Cloud Run services is located in a specific region and is managed by Google to be redundantly available across all the zones within that region.

Meeting your latency, availability, or durability requirements are primary factors for selecting the region where your Cloud Run services are run. You can generally select the region nearest to your users but you should consider the location of the other Google Cloud products that are used by your Cloud Run service. Using Google Cloud products together across multiple locations can affect your service's latency as well as cost.

Cloud Run is available in the following regions:

If you already created a Cloud Run service, you can view the region in the Cloud Run dashboard in the Google Cloud console.

Cloud Run automatically scales your container instances based on demand, and you only pay for the CPU, memory, and networking consumed during request processing.

Clean up

To avoid additional charges to your Google Cloud account, delete all the resources you deployed with this quickstart.

Delete your repository

Cloud Run doesn't charge you when your deployed service isn't in use. However, you might still be charged for storing the container image in Artifact Registry. To delete Artifact Registry repositories, follow the steps in Delete repositories in the Artifact Registry documentation.

Delete your service

Cloud Run services don't incur costs until they receive requests. To delete your Cloud Run service, follow one of these steps:

Console

To delete a service:

  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Cloud Run Services page:

    Go to Cloud Run

  2. Locate the service you want to delete in the services list, and click its checkbox to select it.

  3. Click Delete. This deletes all revisions of the service.

gcloud

To delete a service, run the following command:

gcloud run services delete SERVICE --region REGION

Replace the following:

  • SERVICE: name of your service.
  • REGION: Google Cloud region of the service.

Delete your test project

Deleting your Google Cloud project stops billing for all resources in that project. To release all Google Cloud resources in your project, follow these steps:

  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Manage resources page.

    Go to Manage resources

  2. In the project list, select the project that you want to delete, and then click Delete.
  3. In the dialog, type the project ID, and then click Shut down to delete the project.
