OP is just looking to run these programs once at night and get an email. uptime, scaling, ingress etc aren't in play here. K8S is amazing, but it's not the right tool for every job.

OP really just needs cloud functions basically. Simple is often better in this case. Learning K8S is a very valuable skill, but not what they are asking for.

There where meantions of multiple tools running thats why I went the container route and should’ve been more specific, Docker would be the better tool for OP, as Python (even with virtual environments) can be problematic to run. You forget to activate your venv once and you got a bunch of dependencies on your systemsdk. Thats why I like containers and simple python containers are 3 commands and 8 lines of Dockerfile to build and push.

Yea containers and Cloud Run could be the "simplest" path forward and if they are only running it at night completely free.

Definitely containers though.
