AI/ML orchestration on Cloud Run documentation

Cloud Run is a fully managed platform that lets you run your containerized applications, including AI/ML workloads, directly on Google's scalable infrastructure. It handles the infrastructure for you, so you can focus on writing your code instead of spending time on operating, configuring, and scaling your Cloud Run resources. Cloud Run's capabilities provide the following:

  • Hardware accelerators: access and manage GPUs for inference at scale.
  • Frameworks support: integrate with the model serving frameworks you already know and trust such as Hugging Face, TGI, and vLLM.
  • Managed platform: get all the benefits of a managed platform to automate, scale, and enhance the security of your entire AI/ML lifecycle while maintaining flexibility.

Explore our tutorials and best practices to see how Cloud Run can optimize your AI/ML workloads.
