This action deploys your container image to Cloud Run and makes the URL available to later build steps via outputs.

This action requires:

• Google Cloud credentials that are authorized to deploy a Cloud Run service. See the Authorization section below for more information.

• Enable the Cloud Run API

steps:
- id: deploy
  uses: google-github-actions/deploy-cloudrun@main
  with:
    image: gcr.io/cloudrun/hello
    service: hello-cloud-run
    credentials: ${{ secrets.gcp_credentials }}

# Example of using the output
- id: test
  run: curl "${{ steps.deploy.outputs.url }}"

• image: Name of the container image to deploy (e.g. gcr.io/cloudrun/hello:latest). Required if not using a service YAML.

• service: ID of the service or fully qualified identifier for the service. Required if not using a service YAML.

• region: Region in which the resource can be found.

• credentials: Service account key to use for authentication. This should be the JSON formatted private key which can be exported from the Cloud Console. The value can be raw or base64-encoded. Required if not using a the setup-gcloud action with exported credentials.

• env_vars: List of key-value pairs to set as environment variables in the format: KEY1=VALUE1,KEY2=VALUE2. All existing environment variables will be retained.

• metadata: YAML serivce description for the Cloud Run service. See Metadata customizations for more information. Existing configuration will be retained besides container entrypoint and arguments.

• project_id: (Optional) ID of the Google Cloud project. If provided, this will override the project configured by gcloud.

You can store your service specification in a YAML file. This will allow for further service configuration, such as memory limits, CPU allocation, max instances, and more.

• See Deploying a new service to create a new YAML service definition, for example:

apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: SERVICE
spec:
  template:
    spec:
      containers:
      - image: IMAGE

• See Deploy a new revision of an existing service to generated a YAML service specification from an existing service:

gcloud run services describe SERVICE --format yaml > service.yaml

A Cloud Run product recommendation is that CI/CD systems not set or change settings for allowing unauthenticated invocations. New deployments are automatically private services, while deploying a revision of a public (unauthenticated) service will preserve the IAM setting of public (unauthenticated). For more information, see Controlling access on an individual service.

• url: The URL of your Cloud Run service.

There are a few ways to authenticate this action. A service account will be needed with the following roles:

• Cloud Run Admin (roles/run.admin):
  • Can create, update, and delete services.
  • Can get and set IAM policies.

This service account needs to a member of the Compute Engine default service account, ([email protected]), with role Service Account User. To grant a user permissions for a service account, use one of the methods found in Configuring Ownership and access to a service account.

You can provide credentials using the setup-gcloud action:

- uses: google-github-actions/setup-gcloud@master
  with:
    version: '290.0.1'
    service_account_key: ${{ secrets.GCP_SA_KEY }}
    export_default_credentials: true
- id: Deploy
  uses: google-github-actions/deploy-cloudrun@main
  with:
    image: gcr.io/cloudrun/hello
    service: hello-cloud-run

You can provide Google Cloud Service Account JSON directly to the action by specifying the credentials input. First, create a GitHub Secret that contains the JSON content, then import it into the action:

- id: Deploy
  uses: google-github-actions/deploy-cloudrun@main
  with:
    credentials: ${{ secrets.GCP_SA_KEY }}
    image: gcr.io/cloudrun/hello
    service: hello-cloud-run

If you are hosting your own runners, and those runners are on Google Cloud, you can leverage the Application Default Credentials of the instance. This will authenticate requests as the service account attached to the instance. This only works using a custom runner hosted on GCP.

- id: Deploy
  uses: google-github-actions/deploy-cloudrun@main
  with:
    image: gcr.io/cloudrun/hello
    service: hello-cloud-run

The action will automatically detect and use the Application Default Credentials.
