+***Projects in Google Cloud need the following items setup:***
+
+- network
+- logging sink
+- alert
+- cloud run service cpu/memory
+- product db replica/backup/zones
+
+
+***CloudRun Template***
+
+(cloud run service cpu/memory)
+
+When exploring CloudRun view in Google Cloud Console you can examine a yaml file representing the CloudRun resource.
+
+![cloudrun.yaml](./images/cloudrun_yaml.png)
+
+Current CD (Continuous Delivery) pipelines takes advantage of CloudRun Templates, which are used to generate CloudRun resource at deployment.
+
+![servicetemplate.yaml](./images/servicetemplate_yaml.png)
+
+
+The values for template parameters are defined in devops/gcp/clouddeploy.yaml file.
+
+![clouddeploy.yaml](./images/clouddeploy_yaml.png)
+
+(network)
+
+Another mechanism through which some parameters might enter the template is via bash script in cloudbuild.yaml file that reads 1password variables and inserts them into the CloudRun Template.
+
+![cloudbuild.yaml](./images/cloudbuild_yaml.png)
+
+For example, VPC_CONNECTOR variable can be defined in 1password and devops/vaults.gcp.env file.
+
+![cloudbuild.yaml](./images/vaultsgcpenv.png)
+
+VPC Connector enables CloudRun to use Shared Virtual Private Cloud networks defined in Registries' Common-... projects. You can read more about the function of VPC Connector in [GCP docs](https://cloud.google.com/vpc/docs/serverless-vpc-access)
+
+
+***gcloud scripts***
+
+There is a number of scripts that can be used as a starting point to create GCP resources.
+You will need to populate some variables in order to run these scripts, i.e. TARGET_PROJECT_ID (your project nameplate), ENV (e.g., dev/test/prod/tools), TAG (e.g., dev/test/prod/sandbox)
+
+- (logging sink / alerts)
+
+  ../gcp_infra.sh
+
+  The script creates an 'error' log sink and loads alert policies from alert_policies directory (which contains sample alerting policies).
+
+- (product db replica/backup/zones)
+
+  ../gcp_cloudsql_instance.sh
+
+- (network)
+
+  ../gcp_permissions.sh
+
+  The script contains contains a few permissions/settings that need to be configured before CloudRun can use VPC Connector.
