Making highly available, multi-region Cloud Run services just got easier

The useful part

Application downtime for mission-critical services can directly impact your reputation and bottom line. Setting up multi-region, highly available deployments often involves complex configurations, and responding to incidents or outages is usually a manual process. Multi-region services on Cloud Run provide a one-command approach to deploying the same service configuration across multiple regions.

How it works

• You can also use these probes to monitor how many healthy or unhealthy instances exist for your service in each region.
• This aggregate health is exposed via serverless network endpoint groups (NEGs) in each region.
• Now, we've made it easier to detect regional service disruptions and automatically fail over to a healthy region within seconds with new capabilities:
• Readiness probes provide instance-level health checks for your Cloud Run service to determine exactly when your containers are ready to serve traffic.
• Let's take a closer look at some scenarios where these new capabilities can come in...

Details worth keeping

Service health can be used with both single and multi-region services.
