The deploy-cloudrun
GitHub Action deploys to Google Cloud Run. It
can deploy a container image or from source, and the resulting service URL is
available as a GitHub Actions output for use in future steps.
This is not an officially supported Google product, and it is not covered by a Google Cloud support contract. To report bugs or request features in a Google Cloud product, please contact Google Cloud support.
-
This action requires Google Cloud credentials that are authorized to access the secrets being requested. See Authorization for more information.
-
This action runs using Node 20. If you are using self-hosted GitHub Actions runners, you must use a runner version that supports this version or newer.

-
suffix
: (Optional) String suffix to append to the revision name. Revision names always start with the service name automatically. For example, specifyingv1
for a service namedhelloworld
, would lead to a revision namedhelloworld-v1
. This option is only applies to services. -
env_vars
: (Optional) List of environment variables that should be set in the environment. These are comma-separated or newline-separatedKEY=VALUE
. Keys or values that contain separators must be escaped with a backslash (e.g.\,
or\\n
) unless quoted. Any leading or trailing whitespace is trimmed unless values are quoted.env_vars: |- FRUIT=apple SENTENCE=" this will retain leading and trailing spaces "
This value will only be set if the input is a non-empty value. If a non-empty value is given, the field values will be overwritten (not merged). To remove all values, set the value to the literal string

) Controls how the environment variables are set on the Cloud Run service. If set to "merge", then the environment variables are merged with any upstream values. If set to "overwrite", then all environment variables on the Cloud Run service will be replaced with exactly the values given by the GitHub Action (making it authoritative). -
secrets
: (Optional) List of KEY=VALUE pairs to use as secrets. These are comma-separated or newline-separatedKEY=VALUE

with: secrets: |- # As an environment variable: KEY1=secret-key-1:latest # As a volume mount: /secrets/api/key=secret-key-2:latest
This value will only be set if the input is a non-empty value. If a non-empty value is given, the field values will be overwritten (not merged). To remove all values, set the value to the literal string
{}
. -
secrets_update_strategy

, then the secrets are merged with any upstream values. If set tooverwrite
, then all secrets on the Cloud Run service will be replaced with exactly the values given by the GitHub Action (making it authoritative). -
labels
: (Optional) List of labels that should be set on the function. These are comma-separated or newline-separatedKEY=VALUE
. Keys or values that contain separators must be escaped with a backslash (e.g.\,
or\\n
) unless quoted. Any leading or trailing whitespace is trimmed unless values are quoted.labels: |- labela=my-label labelb=my-other-label
This value will only be set if the input is a non-empty value. If a non-empty value is given, the field values will be overwritten (not merged). To remove all values, set the value to the literal string
{}
.Google Cloud restricts the allowed values and length for labels. Please see the Google Cloud documentation for labels for more information.
-
skip_default_labels
: (Optional, default:false
) Skip applying the special annotation labels that indicate the deployment came from GitHub Actions. The GitHub Action will automatically apply the following labels which Cloud Run uses to enhance the user experience:managed-by: github-actions commit-sha: <sha>
Setting this to
true
will skip adding these special labels. -
tag
: (Optional) Traffic tag to assign to the newly-created revision. This option is only applies to services. -
timeout
: (Optional) Maximum request execution time, specified as a duration like "10m5s" for ten minutes and 5 seconds. -
flags
: (Optional) Space separate list of additional Cloud Run flags to pass to the deploy command. This can be used to apply advanced features that are not exposed via this GitHub Action. For Cloud Run services, this command will begcloud run deploy
. For Cloud Run jobs, this command will be `gcloud jobs deploy.with: flags: '--add-cloudsql-instances=...'
Flags that include other flags must quote the entire outer flag value. For example, to pass
--args=-X=123
:with: flags: '--add-cloudsql-instances=... "--args=-X=123"'
See the complete list of flags for more information.
Please note, this GitHub Action does not parse or validate the flags. You are responsible for making sure the flags are available on the gcloud version and subcommand.
-
no_traffic
: (Optional, default:false
) If true, the newly deployed revision will not receive traffic. This option is only applies to services. -
revision_traffic
: (Optional) Comma-separated list of revision traffic assignments.with: revision_traffic: 'my-revision=10' # percentage
To update traffic to the latest revision, use the special tag "LATEST":
with: revision_traffic: 'LATEST=100'
This is mutually-exclusive with
tag_traffic
. This option is only applies to services. -
tag_traffic
: (Optional) Comma-separated list of tag traffic assignments.with: tag_traffic: 'my-tag=10' # percentage
This is mutually-exclusive with

command. This can be used to apply advanced features that are not exposed via this GitHub Action. This flag only applies withrevision_traffic
ortag_traffic
is set.with: traffic_flags: '--set-tags=...'
Flags that include other flags must quote the entire outer flag value. For example, to pass

-
project_id
: (Optional) ID of the Google Cloud project in which to deploy the service. -
region
: (Optional, default:us-central1
) Region in which the Cloud Run services are deployed. -
gcloud_version
: (Optional) Version of the Cloud SDK to install. If unspecified or set to "latest", the latest available gcloud SDK version for the target platform will be installed. Example: "290.0.1". -
gcloud_component
: (Optional) Version of the Cloud SDK components to install and use.
For advanced use cases, you can define a custom Cloud Run metadata file. This is a YAML description of the Cloud Run service or job. This allows you to customize your service configuration, such as memory limits, CPU allocation, max instances, and more.
metadata
: (Optional) The path to a Cloud Run service or job metadata file.
To deploying a new service to create a new YAML service definition:
apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: SERVICE
spec:
template:
spec:
containers:
- image: IMAGE
To update a revision or to deploy a new revision of an existing service, download and modify the YAML service definition:
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 the Cloud Run service.
There are a few ways to authenticate this action. The caller must have permissions to access the secrets being requested.
You will need to authenticate to Google Cloud as a service account 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 be a member of the Compute Engine default service account
,
(PROJECT_NUMBER-compute@developer.gserviceaccount.com)
, 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.
Use google-github-actions/auth to authenticate the action. You can use Workload Identity Federation or traditional Service Account Key JSON authentication.

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.

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