Developing Applications with Cloud Run on Google Cloud: Fundamentals

Google Cloud studies Cloud Run through its resource model, container lifecycle and autoscaling. Service identity and authentication lead into application development, local testing and integration. This course can help learners understand the managed-service boundary before comparing Cloud Run with a function or a Kubernetes deployment.

What you will learn

• Describe the Cloud Run resource and container lifecycle.
• Explain service identity and authentication.
• Relate local testing to a Cloud Run deployment.
