I am setting up a CICD pipeline on Gitlab and following the documentation of Cloud Deploy i am trying to deploy a custom docker image on a Cloud Run. But there is the trick, I already have Terraform settings up my Cloud Runs, and I want to make a skaffold configuration to deploy my image on those cloud run, but I can't figure it with the actual documentation.

In a second time, my goal will be to be able to have 2 sets of deployments (1 dev environment and 1 preprod environment), and to deploy whatever the environment I need.

Do you have any idea how to do the first think first ?

Thank you

So it turns out the documentation of GCP missing a parameter for the releases command : --skaffold-file=skaffold.yaml

With that, I am now able to publish a release on a dev environment, and promote it to a qlf environment with this commands :

gcloud deploy apply --file=clouddeploy.yaml --region=europe-west1 --project=PROJECTID
gcloud deploy releases create test-release-001 --project=PROJECTID --region=europe-west1 --delivery-pipeline=my-run-demo-app-1 --images=name-not-needed=DOCKERIMAGE:latest --skaffold-file=skaffold.yaml

and this files :

clouddeploy.yaml

apiVersion: deploy.cloud.google/v1
kind: DeliveryPipeline
metadata:
  name: my-run-demo-app-1
description: main application pipeline
serialPipeline:
  stages:
  - targetId: cr-deploy-dev
    profiles: [dev]
  - targetId: cr-deploy-qlf
    profiles: [qlf]

skaffold.yaml

apiVersion: skaffold/v4beta7
kind: Config
metadata: 
  name: deploy-run-quickstart
profiles:
- name: dev
  manifests:
    rawYaml:
    - service-dev.yaml

service-dev.yaml

apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: cr-deploy-dev
spec:
  template:
    spec:
      containers:
      - image: DOCKERIMAGE:latest

service-qlf.yaml

apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: cr-deploy-qlf
spec:
  template:
    spec:
      containers:
      - image: DOCKERIMAGE:latest

There may be another way to do it, but in my case with a gitlab CICD pipeline and gcloud CLI, it is enough for me.
