launch runs build and deploy in one command. It reads the lifecycle config, runs build, then runs deploy if the build succeeds, making it the normal command for publishing a new project or updated code.
Run in a project containing the lifecycle file agentkit.yaml. Configure the provider, region, and runtime environment variables using the Quickstart; local and hybrid also require local Docker
Cloud publication builds an image and creates or updates a runtime, potentially incurring build, storage, and runtime charges. Check the target project and release timing for an existing service
launch
prompt asks before continuing in an interactive terminal; fail exits when preflight checks fail; warn prints warnings and continues; skip disables preflight checks.
Verify the application after publication:
Use --preflight-mode fail for unattended publication. warn and skip do not grant missing service permissions, so a later build or deployment can still fail
