Create and execute a job in Cloud Run

This page shows you how to create a job in Cloud Run using a sample container, execute the job, and view logs for the job.

Before you begin

  1. Sign in to your Google Cloud account. If you're new to Google Cloud, create an account to evaluate how our products perform in real-world scenarios. New customers also get $300 in free credits to run, test, and deploy workloads.

  2. In the Google Cloud console, on the project selector page, select or create a Google Cloud project.

    Roles required to select or create a project

    • Select a project: Selecting a project doesn't require a specific IAM role—you can select any project that you've been granted a role on.
    • Create a project: To create a project, you need the Project Creator role (roles/resourcemanager.projectCreator), which contains the resourcemanager.projects.create permission. Learn how to grant roles.

    Go to project selector

  3. If you're using an existing project for this guide, verify that you have the permissions required to complete this guide. If you created a new project, then you already have the required permissions.

  4. Verify that billing is enabled for your Google Cloud project.

  5. Enable the Cloud Run Admin API.

    Roles required to enable APIs

    To enable APIs, you need the Service Usage Admin IAM role (roles/serviceusage.serviceUsageAdmin), which contains the serviceusage.services.enable permission. Learn how to grant roles.

    Enable the API

Required roles

To get the permissions that you need to complete this quickstart, ask your administrator to grant you the following IAM roles:

For more information about granting roles, see Manage access to projects, folders, and organizations.

You might also be able to get the required permissions through custom roles or other predefined roles.

Create a job

To create a job:

  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Cloud Run page:

    Go to Cloud Run

  2. Select Jobs from the Cloud Run navigation menu, and click Deploy container to open the Create job form.

  3. Click Test with a sample container.

  4. In the Region pulldown menu, select the region where you want to run the job.

  5. Click Create to create the job.

The job is created and is ready to be executed.

Execute the job

After you create a job, you can execute it:

  1. In the Jobs tab, click the job you just created to open the Job details page.

  2. Click Execute.

  3. Logs for the job are available as soon as the job execution starts. Click the Logs tab to view the logs for the job.

Cloud Run locations

Cloud Run is regional, which means the infrastructure that runs your Cloud Run services is located in a specific region and is managed by Google to be redundantly available across all the zones within that region.

Meeting your latency, availability, or durability requirements are primary factors for selecting the region where your Cloud Run services are run. You can generally select the region nearest to your users but you should consider the location of the other Google Cloud products that are used by your Cloud Run service. Using Google Cloud products together across multiple locations can affect your service's latency as well as cost.

Clean up

To avoid additional charges to your Google Cloud account, delete all the resources you deployed with this quickstart.

Delete your repository

Cloud Run only charges for the time your job executes. However, you might still be charged for storing the container image in Artifact Registry. To delete Artifact Registry repositories, follow the steps in Delete repositories in the Artifact Registry documentation.

Delete your job

Cloud Run jobs only incur cost when a job task is executing. To delete your Cloud Run job, follow one of these steps:

Console

To delete a job:

  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to Cloud Run:

    Go to Cloud Run

  2. Locate the job you want to delete in the jobs list, and click its checkbox to select it.

  3. Click Delete. This terminates all the job executions in progress and all running container instances.

gcloud

To delete a job, run the following command:

gcloud run jobs delete JOB_NAME

Replace JOB_NAME with the name of the job.

Delete your test project

Deleting your Google Cloud project stops billing for all resources in that project. To release all Google Cloud resources in your project, follow these steps:

  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Manage resources page.

    Go to Manage resources

  2. In the project list, select the project that you want to delete, and then click Delete.
  3. In the dialog, type the project ID, and then click Shut down to delete the project.
