Questions about this course

Is it more expensive than shared hosting?
For most sites, no. Cloud Run charges by usage and has a monthly free tier. The course shows how to set a budget and alerts so you know the amount before the bill arrives.
How is this different from the Google Cloud Management course?
This one is about putting sites and apps live. The Management course is for those already running several projects: access, organization, costs across many services and team operations.
