cloud-run

A guide for deploying containerized applications to Google Cloud Run, a managed service that runs containers and can scale them down when idle.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to deploy containers, control who can invoke them, connect them to private networks, attach secrets, and configure scaling.
Why use it?
It provides safer deployment defaults, keeps services private unless public access is intended, and warns about potentially billable deployments.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

cloud-run scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Cloud Run

Deploy and manage containerized applications on Google Cloud Run — fully managed, serverless, and scales to zero.

Prerequisites

  • gcloud CLI authenticated (gcloud auth login or ADC)
  • Project set: gcloud config set project PROJECT_ID
  • APIs enabled: gcloud services enable run.googleapis.com

Core Patterns

Deploy a container

# Billable action — confirm before running
gcloud run deploy SERVICE_NAME \
  --image IMAGE_URI \
  --region REGION \
  --platform managed \
  --no-allow-unauthenticated

Grant invoker access (least-privilege)

gcloud run services add-iam-policy-binding SERVICE_NAME \
  --region REGION \
  --member="serviceAccount:[email protected]" \
  --role="roles/run.invoker"

VPC connector (private connectivity)

gcloud run services update SERVICE_NAME \
  --vpc-connector CONNECTOR_NAME \
  --region REGION

Mount a secret

gcloud run services update SERVICE_NAME \
  --set-secrets=/path/to/secret=SECRET_NAME:latest \
  --region REGION

Safety Rules

  • Never use --allow-unauthenticated without explicit intent and gcp-security sign-off
  • Always specify --no-allow-unauthenticated as the default
  • Cost warning: Cloud Run bills per request and per CPU/memory allocated — estimate before deploying high-traffic services

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

cloud-run is a skill published in the GitHub repository jpantsjoha/googlecloud-plugin (4 stars, last pushed 25d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 87 tokens to every session and 654 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
