Possible to get static IP address for the Container deployed to Cloud Run?

Question

I would like to deploy a container image to Google Cloud Run (fully managed). I follow the instructions:

https://cloud.google.com/run/docs/quickstarts/build-and-deploy

I was wondering if I can fix static IP for the container or not. Please note that I am not using VM instance. I am new to use this service. I really appreciate it if you could help me on this issue.

Answer 1

You can get a static IP for your Cloud Run service (not individual containers, as many containers can be running the same app) by creating a "Cloud HTTP(S) Load Balancer" that serves on a static IP and putting your service behind it.

See the relevant section in documentation on how to create a LB and add a "serverless network endpoint group" behinding it that routes the traffic to Cloud Run.

There's also sample step-by-step guide on this with a load balancer with static IP at https://cloud.google.com/run/docs/multiple-regions.

If you mean "how do I get static IPs for outbound connections my Cloud Run app make", that's a different question with a different answer (it'll be possible soon).

UPDATE (4 Sep 2023): This is now possible with Static outbound IP address for Google Cloud Run. Documentation here: https://cloud.google.com/run/docs/configuring/static-outbound-ip

Answer 2

Cloud Run is fully managed serverless containerised service. So you wont get access to IP address. You will get fix URL to the service (hash in the service name is unique to the project-service combination).

This feature is now available for Google Cloud Run services:
