cloud-run-basics

A guide and toolset for deploying applications on Google Cloud Run, a managed platform that runs code or containers without requiring you to manage servers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to deploy web applications, scheduled or event-triggered jobs, and pull-based workers such as message-queue consumers.
Why use it?
It explains which Cloud Run resource fits the job: an HTTP service, a task that runs to completion, or an always-on background worker.

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-basics 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 2d ago.

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.

Cloud Run Basics

Cloud Run is a fully managed application platform for running your code, function, or container on top of Google's highly scalable infrastructure. It abstracts away infrastructure management, providing three primary resource types:

  1. Services: Responds to HTTP requests sent to a unique and stable endpoint, using stateless instances that autoscale based on a variety of key metrics, also responds to events and functions.
  2. Jobs: Executes parallelizable tasks that are executed manually, or on a schedule, and run to completion.
  3. Worker pools: Handles always-on background workloads such as pull-based workloads, for example, Kafka consumers, Pub/Sub pull queues, or RabbitMQ consumers.

Prerequisites

  1. Enable the Cloud Run Admin API and Cloud Build APIs:

    gcloud services enable run.googleapis.com cloudbuild.googleapis.com
    
  2. If you are under a domain restriction organization policy restricting unauthenticated invocations for your project, you will need to access your deployed service as described under Testing private services.

Required roles

You need the following roles to deploy your Cloud Run resource:

  • Cloud Run Admin (roles/run.admin) on the project
  • Cloud Run Source Developer (roles/run.sourceDeveloper) on the project
  • Service Account User (roles/iam.serviceAccountUser) on the service identity
  • Logs Viewer (roles/logging.viewer) on the project

Cloud Build automatically uses the Compute Engine default service account as the default Cloud Build service account to build your source code and Cloud Run resource, unless you override this behavior.

For Cloud Build to build your sources, grant the Cloud Build service account the Cloud Run Builder (roles/run.builder) role on your project:

What ships with it

6 files 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.
