Google Cloud for DevOps Engineers

By: Sandeep Madamanchi

Overview of this book

DevOps is a set of practices that help remove barriers between developers and system administrators, and is implemented by Google through site reliability engineering (SRE). With the help of this book, you'll explore the evolution of DevOps and SRE, before delving into SRE technical practices such as SLA, SLO, SLI, and error budgets that are critical to building reliable software faster and balance new feature deployment with system reliability. You'll then explore SRE cultural practices such as incident management and being on-call, and learn the building blocks to form SRE teams. The second part of the book focuses on Google Cloud services to implement DevOps via continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD). You'll learn how to add source code via Cloud Source Repositories, build code to create deployment artifacts via Cloud Build, and push it to Container Registry. Moving on, you'll understand the need for container orchestration via Kubernetes, comprehend Kubernetes essentials, apply via Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), and secure the GKE cluster. Finally, you'll explore Cloud Operations to monitor, alert, debug, trace, and profile deployed applications. By the end of this SRE book, you'll be well-versed with the key concepts necessary for gaining Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer certification with the help of mock tests.

Chapter 6: Building Code Using Cloud Build, and Pushing to Container Registry

The last chapter focused on managing source code using Cloud Source Repositories (CSR). CSR provides a fully managed private Git repository, provides one-way sync with GitHub and Bitbucket, and integrates with GCP services. This is the first step in the Continuous Integration (CI) flow.

This chapter will focus on the constructs required to build code, create image artifacts using Cloud Build and manage artifacts using GCP's Container Registry. This forms the crux of the CI workflow as the code is continuously built, artifacts are continuously created and stored in the registry, and application code is continuously deployed as containers.

In this chapter, we're going to cover the following main topics:

  • Key terminology – Quick insights into the terminology around Docker and containers
  • Understanding the need for automation – Understanding the need for automation by exploring...
