Accelerating software delivery while maintaining stability demands automated build, artifact, and release pipelines. This trail covers the core practices for implementing continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) on Google Cloud. You will begin by managing container images with Artifact Registry and building automated pipelines for Google Kubernetes Engine using Cloud Build. Next, you will configure continuous delivery workflows with Google Cloud Deploy to safely promote releases across environments. Concluding with a practical challenge lab, this trail prepares you to establish resilient, production-ready deployment pipelines.
