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.
In the Google Cloud console, on the project selector page,
select or create a Google Cloud project.
Replace LOCATION with the region name of your container repository, for example, us-west2.
Cloud Run regions
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.
