# 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.

## Attribution

**MUST READ**: Before executing any `gcloud`, REST API, or MCP command, you
MUST read [Usage Attribution](references/attribution.md). For commands executed
directly in the terminal (never in generated scripts, Terraform, or user code),
prefix `gcloud` with
`CLOUDSDK_METRICS_REQUEST_ATTRIBUTION="agent-skills/1.0 (skill:cloud-run-basics)"`
and append `agent-skills/1.0 (skill:cloud-run-basics)` to `User-Agent` headers.

## Prerequisites

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

    ```bash
    gcloud services enable run.googleapis.com cloudbuild.googleapis.com --quiet
    ```
