Deploy a 1st gen Cloud Run function by using the Google Cloud console

Create a function

1. Open the Functions Overview page in the Google Cloud console:

   Go to the Cloud Run functions Overview page

   Make sure that the project for which you enabled Cloud Run functions is selected. You can only access this link for existing projects. Otherwise, you will be redirected to the Cloud Run Google Cloud console . To learn how to create and deploy functions using the Cloud Run Google Cloud console, see Console Quickstart for Cloud Run functions .

2. Click Create function.

3. Name your function, for example, function-1 .

   The name you give your function can include lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens.

4. In the Triggerfield, select HTTP.

5. In the Authenticationfield, select Require Authentication.

   The other option, Allow unauthenticated invocations , lets you reach the function without authentication . This is useful for testing, but we don't recommend using this setting in production unless you are creating a public API or website. Further, it might not work for you, depending on your corporate policy settings. See Authenticating for invocation for details on how to invoke a function that requires authentication.

6. Click Saveto save your changes, and then click Next.

7. In the Source codefield, select Inline editor. In this exercise, you will use the default "Hello World" function provided in the editor.

8. Use the Runtimedrop-down to select your chosen language runtime.

Deploy the function

1. At the bottom of the page, click Deploy.

2. Click the west icon to return to the Cloud Run functions Overview page.

   While the function is being deployed, the icon next to it is a small spinner. After it finishes deploying, the spinner turns to a green check mark:

   

Test the function

1. Display the more_vert menu for your function and select Test function.

   

2. On the testing page, click Test the function.

3. Now change the message. In the Triggering Eventfield, enter the text {"message":"Hello, YOUR_NAME !"} , replacing YOUR_NAME with a name, and click Test the function.

   For example, suppose you entered the name "Rowan". In the Outputfield, you would see the message Hello, Rowan! .

   In the Logsfield, a status code of 200 indicates success.
