Chapter 2. Understanding Cloud Run
Now that you’ve read Chapter 1, you’re ready to deploy your first container on Cloud Run. This chapter offers a practical exploration of Cloud Run. I’ll start with the prerequisites and the tooling you need to install on your local machine. You’ll deploy a sample container, upgrade it to a new version, and change its configuration. I’ll also illustrate some of the more advanced features.
Once you’ve had your first experience working with Cloud Run, it will be time for a more fundamental discussion of the platform and its runtime characteristics. Running a container on Cloud Run is not the same as running that container on a traditional, always-on server. Cloud Run is request driven, uses disposable containers, and supports fast autoscaling. I will tell you what that means, how that helps you build reliable and scalable applications, and what the consequences are for your application design.
I’ll close the chapter with a discussion of alternative ways to run application logic on Google Cloud using a serverless model and share my speculations about the future of Cloud Run with you.
