I'd be happy to guide you through the process of purchasing a domain from Google Domains and connecting it to Cloud Run.
Step 1: Purchase a Domain
- Go to Google Domains.
- Search for your desired domain name and check for its availability.
- If it's available, you can proceed to purchase it. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the purchase.
Step 2: Access Google Cloud Console
- Go to the Google Cloud Console.
- Sign in with your Google account. If you don't have a Google Cloud account, you can create one.
Step 3: Open Cloud Run
- In the Google Cloud Console, navigate to "Cloud Run" from the left-hand navigation menu.
Step 4: Create a Service in Cloud Run
- Click the "Create Service" button.
- Choose the container image you want to run on Cloud Run. You can deploy a new revision or select an existing one.
- Configure your service settings, including authentication, memory, and other options.
- Click "Next" to proceed.
Step 5: Set Up the Domain Mapping
- After your service is created, you'll see it listed in the Cloud Run dashboard.
- Click on the service name to open its details.
- In the left-hand navigation, select "Custom domains."
- Click the "Add a custom domain" button.
- Enter your purchased domain name and click "Continue."
- You'll be prompted to verify your domain ownership, which usually involves adding a DNS record. You'll receive instructions on how to do this from Google Domains.
- Follow the verification steps, which might involve updating DNS records in Google Domains. Once verified, the custom domain will be linked to your Cloud Run service.
Step 6: Wait for DNS Propagation
- DNS changes can take time to propagate globally, so it might not work immediately. Be patient, and check back after a few hours.
- Once the DNS changes propagate, your Cloud Run service will be accessible using the custom domain.
And that's it! You've successfully purchased a domain and connected it to your Cloud Run service.
Good luck with your project!
