# Cloud Run Basics

Ship an app, a scheduled task, or a background worker on Cloud Run

## What this does

You have something you want running in the cloud, and Cloud Run offers a few different shapes for it depending on whether it answers requests, runs on a schedule, or chews through work in the background. This helps you set up and manage the right one. Reach for it when you are deploying or changing any of those.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Deploy an app that answers HTTP requests
- Set up a task that runs on a schedule or a trigger
- Run always-on background processing that pulls its own work

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Cloud Run Basics

This covers managing Cloud Run services, jobs, and worker pools. Which one you want depends on the shape of the work: services for applications responding to HTTP requests, jobs for tasks that run on a trigger or a schedule, and worker pools for always-on pull-based background processing.

Use it when you need to deploy one of those or manage one you already have.
