Mindful Containers is a fictitious company that is creating containerized microservice applications. They need a fully managed compute environment for deploying and scaling serverless containerized microservices. So, they are considering Cloud Run.

They are excited about Cloud Run because it abstracts away the cluster configuration, monitoring, and management so they can focus on building the features for their apps.

Cloud Run is a fully-managed compute environment for deploying and scaling serverless containerized microservices.

What is Cloud Run?

Cloud Run is a fully-managed compute environment for deploying and scaling serverless HTTP containers without worrying about provisioning machines, configuring clusters, or autoscaling.

• No vendor lock-in - Because Cloud Run takes standard OCI containers and implements the standard  Knative Serving API, you can easily port over your applications to on-premises or any other cloud environment.
• Fast autoscaling - Microservices deployed in Cloud Run scale automatically based on the number of incoming requests, without you having to configure or manage a full-fledged Kubernetes cluster. Cloud Run scales to zero— that is, uses no resources—if there are no requests.
• Split traffic - Cloud Run enables you to split traffic between multiple revisions, so you can perform gradual rollouts such as canary deployments or blue/green deployments.
• Custom domains - You can set up custom domain mapping in Cloud Run and it will provision a TLS certificate for your domain.
• Automatic redundancy - Cloud Run offers automatic redundancy so you don’t have to worry about creating multiple instances for high availability
