Overview of this book

When adopting cloud infrastructure, you are often looking to modernize the automation of workflows such as continuous integration and software delivery. Minimizing operational overhead via fully managed solutions such as Cloud Build can be tough. Moreover, learning Cloud Build’s API and build schema, scalability, security, and integrating Cloud Build with other external systems can be challenging. This book helps you to overcome these challenges by cementing a Google Cloud Build foundation. The book starts with an introduction to Google Cloud Build and explains how it brings value via automation. You will then configure the architecture and environment in which builds run while learning how to execute these builds. Next, you will focus on writing and configuring fully featured builds and executing them securely. You will also review Cloud Build's functionality with practical applications and set up a secure delivery pipeline for GKE. Moving ahead, you will learn how to manage safe roll outs of cloud infrastructure with Terraform. Later, you will build a workflow from local source to production in Cloud Run. Finally, you will integrate Cloud Build with external systems while leveraging Cloud Deploy to manage roll outs. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to automate workflows securely by leveraging the principles of Google Cloud Build.

What this book covers

Chapter 1, Introducing Google Cloud Build. Establish the foundation of serverless and managed services, focusing software build life cycles with Cloud Build.

Chapter 2, Configuring Cloud Build Workers. It’s a managed service, but we still need compute and this chapter discusses the compute options available.

Chapter 3, Getting Started – Which Build Information Is Available to Me?. Kicking off the first build and discovering the information available once it has started to help inform you of success or debug issues.

Chapter 4, Build Configuration and Schema. You can get started quickly with Cloud Build, but knowing the configuration options can help you save time.

Chapter 5, Triggering Builds. This is the critical component for automation: react when something happens to your source files or trigger from existing automation tools.

Chapter 6, Managing Environment Security. It’s a managed service, but there are still shared responsibilities, determining who can execute pipelines, what pipelines have access to, and how to securely integrate with other services.

Chapter 7, Automating Deployment with Terraform and Cloud Build. We can also leverage Cloud Build to automate Terraform manifests to build out infrastructure.

Chapter 8, Securing Software Delivery to GKE with Cloud Build. Discovering patterns and capabilities available in Google Cloud for secure container delivery to Google Kubernetes Engine.

Chapter 9, Automating Serverless with Cloud Build. It’s serverless, but we still need to automate getting from source code to something running.

Chapter 10, Running Operations for Cloud Build in Production. Additional considerations may need to be made when preparing for Cloud Build in production, working with multiple teams.

Chapter 11, Looking Forward in Cloud Build. What’s next? For instance, we’ll look at how Cloud Deploy leverages Cloud Build under the hood.
