Google Cloud Platform: Implementing continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) to ensure secure code deployment in GCP
Updated on
January 13, 2023
Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) is a software development practice that helps ensure that code changes are automatically built, tested, and deployed in a secure and reliable manner. This technical reference guide will provide you with a step-by-step process for implementing continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) to ensure secure code deployment in GCP:
1. Setting up a CI/CD pipeline:
- To set up a CI/CD pipeline in GCP, navigate to the Cloud Build dashboard in the GCP Console.
- Click the Create trigger button.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to set up a trigger that will kick off your CI/CD pipeline when code changes are pushed to your repository.
2. Configuring build steps:
- To configure build steps in GCP, navigate to the Cloud Build dashboard in the GCP Console.
- Click the Edit button for your trigger.
- Use the build configuration interface to specify the build steps you want to run, such as running tests or building Docker images.
3. Setting up deployment targets:
- To set up deployment targets in GCP, navigate to the Cloud Build dashboard in the GCP Console.
- Click the Edit button for your trigger.
- In the Deployment section, specify the deployment targets you want to deploy to, such as App Engine or Compute Engine.
By following these steps, you can set up a CI/CD pipeline in GCP to ensure secure and reliable code deployment.
