Update: I played around with Cloud Run jobs Terraform resource. It works good but there is a dependency on a container image presence in Artifact Registry - job creation fails, when there is no image in Artifact Registry. That is the case during the Terraform run.

Option 1 : Use Artifact Registry remote repository

In this option, the new Artifact Regsitry remote repositories feature will be used. It will allow to avoid any manual tasks of moving tool's image to the Artifact Registry. The remote repo will proxy / cache the tool's repo from Github. The only problem is that, for now, remote repos support only docker hub as an upstream.

Option 2: Run scrip that moves image as Terraform local-exec resource

In this option, we run script that copies tool's image to Artifact Registry as a Terraform resource. Then we create CloudRun jobs. I'm not a big fan of running scripts from the Terraform however, but we will avoid script step.

I think that #option 1 is the future direction once Artifact Registry will be ready. Im' just not sure if we should move script to Terraform or stay as it is for now.
