I am so glad somebody asked, 5 sec into the page and I had to Google what this Google is all about. It seems we have new meaning being fitted into the word Cloud and Serverless every 5 months and the page was written by marketing team.
This post [1] explains it a lot better. Quoted from the doc. ( Why they didn't include it in the page is beyond me )
"Cloud Run is a managed compute platform that enables you to run stateless containers that are invocable via HTTP requests. Cloud Run is serverless: it abstracts away all infrastructure management, so you can focus on what matters most — building great applications. It is built from Knative, letting you choose to run your containers either fully managed with Cloud Run, or in your Google Kubernetes Engine cluster with Cloud Run on GKE.".
So, like lambda but with containers. Pretty much what I have wanted since I first started learning about Docker.
