Kubernetes (k8s) and Cloud Run

Kubernetes (k8s) and Cloud Run are two different technologies that are often used together. Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications, while Cloud Run is a managed platform for deploying and running containerized applications on Google Cloud.

Kubernetes is a powerful and flexible tool for managing containerized applications, but it can be complex to set up and operate. Cloud Run, on the other hand, is a fully managed service that makes it easy to deploy and run your containers without having to worry about the underlying infrastructure.

One key difference between the two is that Kubernetes is designed to run on-premises or in any cloud environment, while Cloud Run is a cloud-native service that runs only on Google Cloud. This means that if you want to use Cloud Run, you'll need to host your applications on Google's cloud platform.

Another key difference is that Kubernetes is more geared towards running stateful applications that require persistent storage, while Cloud Run is better suited for stateless applications that can be run on demand.

In summary, Kubernetes and Cloud Run are both useful tools for managing containerized applications, but they are designed for different use cases and work best when used together.
