Product manager for Cloud Run on GKE here.
Cloud Run on GKE brings a managed experience for Knative/serving and Istio that aligns with Cloud Run. We install and manage the Knative version in your cluster and keep it running for you. Above what you get with base Kubernetes ability to deploy a container, Cloud Run on GKE gives you request-based auto-scaling of container instances, network programming with Istio, and Stackdriver integration for logging, monitoring, and metrics. You also get the Cloud Run UI and CLI to deploy, manage, and update your services.
One of our core goals with Cloud Run is to enable serverless portability; not just for workloads, but tooling and developer experiences. By offering Cloud Run in both a hosted and Kubernetes platform, both enabled by Knative, you can leverage compatible serverless tooling and knowledge across the range of platforms from hosted to GKE to k8s anywhere.
- helper 7y agoThanks!
- wisswazz 7y agoDoes this mean that by using Cloud Run GKE I can also leverage the primitives provided by Istio and Knative Serving?
- asciimike 7y agoCloud Run on GKE is Knative (which relies on Istio) installed on your GKE cluster, and updated by us. So yes, you can go and muck around with lower level Istio/K8s primitives, but only to a point (there are places where you can break Cloud Run on GKE if you configure things particular ways). Over time we're working on making those actions more clear and ensuring that you get all the benefits of the Istio mesh built in, plus the ability to reconfigure to suit your needs (e.g. adding Istio RBAC like we have with Cloud IAM on Cloud Run).
- wisswazz 7y agoGotcha! So, things like adding Knative eventing which uses serving should be fine while using Cloud Run?
