Deploy the project

Now your project is ready to be deployed. To deploy it to Google Cloud Run, we need to containerize the project and the container to Google Container Registry (gcr).

Let’s see how it can be done.

• Go to your project directory and open up the terminal.
• Type gcloud init and select the GCP project in which you want to deploy the website and note the project id.
• Type export project_id=THE_PROJECT_ID_NOTED.
• Then type gcloud builds submit –tag gcr.io/${project_id}/helloworld:v1. This will take few minutes to complete.
• Then type gcloud run deploy –image gcr.io/${project_id}/helloworld:v1 –platform managed
  • You will be prompted for the service name: press ENTER to accept the default name, helloworld.
  • You will be prompted for region: select the region of your choice.
  • You will be prompted to allow unauthenticated invocations: respond y

  Then wait for a few moments until the deployment is complete. On success, the command line displays the service URL.

• Visit your deployed container by opening the service URL in a web browser.
