Create an application

  1. Launch the Cloud Shell Editor.
  2. From the Cloud Code status bar, select New Application.
  3. Choose Cloud Run application as your preferred application type.
  4. From the list of sample applications (Node.js, Python with Flask and Django frameworks, Java, Go), choose a Hello World app.

    For example, choosing Python (Flask): Hello World creates a starter Python (Flask) Hello World app.

  5. Select a folder as your application location and then click Create New Application.

    Cloud Shell Editor loads the application in a new workspace. After the workspace loads, your app is accessible in the explorer view.

Deploy to Cloud Run

To deploy your application to Cloud Run, follow these steps:

  1. Open the command palette (press Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+P or click View > Command Palette) and then run the Deploy to Cloud Run command. This brings up the Cloud Run Deploy UI.
  2. If prompted, authorize Cloud Code to make Google Cloud API calls.
  3. Set your Google Cloud project.
  4. If prompted, enable the Cloud Run API by clicking Enable APIs.
  5. In the Deploy to Cloud Run dialog, select a pre-existing service or create a new one.
  6. If you're creating a new service, choose Cloud Run (fully managed) under Deployment Platform.
  7. Choose a region to deploy to.
  8. For Authentication, select Allow unauthenticated invocations to make this a public service.
  9. After you define your preferred settings, you can click Deploy.

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

  10. View your running service by following the URL displayed in your Cloud Run: Deploy dialog.

Edit your service

To edit your application, follow these steps:

  1. With the Explorer view, find the app.py file that implements the service behavior.
  2. Change the message "It's running!" to a message of your choosing.
  3. After you make this change, choose the Deploy to Cloud Run command using the Command Palette.
  4. Check that the service you just created is selected in Service Settings.
  5. Click Deploy.
  6. After your application finishes building and deploying, you can refresh your service to see your updated message.
