At its most basic, Cloud Run allows container-based HTTP endpoints to be spun up and run in the cloud. In the previous chapter, we learned about the basics of how to create containers and build a simple application that was compatible with that environment. Understanding containers allows us to take whatever runtime language we want and make an artifact around our use case. At this point, we will take the opportunity to build our first Cloud Run application so that we can become familiar with both the environment and the product.
In this first exercise, we will call upon some existing code and revisit the static website example (refer Chapter 6, Cloud Functions Labs. Here, we will explore how we can potentially package ...
