💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Leaving out the version in the secret reference.

Using only the secret name without project info.

The secret reference must include the version, such as /versions/latest, to be valid.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a command that sets two environment variables in Cloud Run.

GCP

gcloud run deploy my-service --image gcr.io/my-project/my-image --set-env-vars [1],[2]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

AAPI_KEY=abc123

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using flags unrelated to environment variables.

Not separating variables with commas.

Multiple environment variables are set by separating key=value pairs with commas.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to deploy a Cloud Run service with one environment variable and two secrets.

GCP

gcloud run deploy my-service --image gcr.io/my-project/my-image --set-env-vars [1] --set-secrets DB_PASS=[2],API_KEY=[3]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using incomplete secret references.

Mixing environment variables and secrets in the same flag.

Set environment variables and secrets separately. Secrets require full resource paths with versions.
