SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Deploying containerized workloads to Google Cloud Run involves choosing between services, jobs, and worker pools, configuring IAM roles, and handling deployment failures. This Skill provides the commands, prerequisites, and troubleshooting steps needed to deploy and manage all three Cloud Run resource types correctly. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Service Deployment: Deploy HTTP services from container images or source code using gcloud, with support for buildpacks, Dockerfiles, and no-build deployments. - Job Execution: Create and execute batch jobs with configurable tasks, retries, parallelism, and timeouts. - Worker Pool Management: Deploy always-on pull-based background workers such as Kafka or Pub/Sub consumers. - Use Case: A developer needs to deploy a Node.js API to Cloud Run from source, grant the correct IAM roles, and debug a crash-on-boot error by reading logs with gcloud. ## Quick Start Deploy my application in the current directory to Cloud Run as a public service named my-api in us-central1.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I deploy a container to Cloud Run?▼

Run gcloud run deploy SERVICE_NAME --image IMAGE_URL --region REGION --allow-unauthenticated. You can also deploy directly from source code with gcloud run deploy SERVICE_NAME --source ., which uses Cloud Build and buildpacks automatically.

What is the difference between Cloud Run services, jobs, and worker pools?▼

Services respond to HTTP requests and autoscale based on traffic. Jobs execute parallelizable tasks to completion, manually or on a schedule. Worker pools handle always-on pull-based background processing such as Kafka or Pub/Sub consumers.

Why does my Cloud Run service crash on boot?▼

The most common cause is the container listening on 127.0.0.1 instead of 0.0.0.0, or not using the injected PORT environment variable which defaults to 8080. Fetch logs with gcloud logging read to find the exact runtime error.

What IAM roles are required to deploy to Cloud Run?▼

You need Cloud Run Admin (roles/run.admin), Cloud Run Source Developer (roles/run.sourceDeveloper), Service Account User (roles/iam.serviceAccountUser), and Logs Viewer (roles/logging.viewer). The Cloud Build service account also needs the Cloud Run Builder role.

Can I deploy Cloud Run resources with Terraform?▼

Yes, the Google Cloud Terraform provider supports Cloud Run v2 services, jobs, and worker pools through resources like google_cloud_run_v2_service, google_cloud_run_v2_job, and google_cloud_run_v2_worker_pool, including IAM bindings.

Does Cloud Run support GPUs for AI workloads?▼

Yes, Cloud Run supports GPUs such as NVIDIA L4 and NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell for services, jobs, and worker pools. This enables hosting AI inference workloads like LLM inference with models such as Gemma 3.
