I spoke too soon. The deploy will bring up an instance instead of your first request. To force a cold start, you could set concurrency to '1' and send two concurrent requests. You should see a log entry such as the following when a new instance starts up: "This request caused a new container instance to be started and may thus take longer and use more CPU than a typical request." Alternatively, you could set up an endpoint that shuts down the server (which will shut down the instance - not advised for production code).

As an aside, the "K_REVISION" environment variable is set to the current revision. You can log or return this value to test whether traffic has migrated to a new version (instead of waiting a minute).
