Cloud Run service

Q: How deeply does Learn Docker in a Month of Lunches, Second Edition cover Cloud Run service?

Explains request routing, health checks, ports, authentication, and deployment, but does not detail service internals.

As explained in Learn Docker in a Month of Lunches, Second Edition

A Cloud Run service is a managed container workload that receives network requests and serves traffic through a public endpoint.

A Cloud Run service runs a container that receives network requests, such as a website or API, through a public endpoint. Cloud Run routes traffic only to healthy containers. section 14.4

Use a service when the container should remain available for incoming traffic:

Deploy a container image with gcloud run deploy. section 14.4
Set the listening port and choose whether unauthenticated callers may access it. section 14.4
Choose a Cloud Run job instead for background work that should execute and finish. section 14.4

# pull the source image:
docker pull ghcr.io/diamol2e/ch14-pi-web
# tag it with your Artifact Registry reference:
docker tag ghcr.io/diamol2e/ch14-pi-web "$REGISTRY/$PROJECT/ch14/pi-web"
# and push:
docker push "$REGISTRY/$PROJECT/ch14/pi-web"
# now deploy the service:
gcloud run deploy pi-web --image="$REGISTRY/$PROJECT/ch14/pi-web" `
 --port=80 --allow-unauthenticated --project=$PROJECT --region=$REGION
# print the details:
gcloud run services describe pi-web --project=$PROJECT --region=$REGION
# browse to the service URL to test the app

Deploys the pi-web image on port 80, permits unauthenticated access, prints service details, and tests the resulting URL. section 14.4
