    GCP PCA · Question 46 · Domain 4: Analyzing and Optimizing Technical and Business Processes

    Your development team is building a new application. They want to implement a CI/CD pipeline that automatically deploys code to a staging environment when a pull request is merged, and requires manual approval before deploying to production. Which TWO Google Cloud services should you use to build this workflow? (Select TWO)

    Answer options:

    A.

    Cloud Build

    B.

    Cloud Deploy

    C.

    Cloud Source Repositories

    D.

    Artifact Registry

    E.

    Cloud Scheduler

    How to approach this question

    Identify the GCP service for Continuous Integration (building) and the service for Continuous Delivery (deploying with approvals).

    Full Answer

    A modern CI/CD pipeline on Google Cloud uses Cloud Build (Option A) for Continuous Integration (running tests, building containers). For Continuous Delivery, Cloud Deploy (Option B) is used to define delivery pipelines, manage progression through environments (Staging -> Prod), and enforce manual approval gates before production deployment.

    Common mistakes

    Assuming Cloud Build does everything. While Cloud Build *can* deploy, Cloud Deploy is the purpose-built service for managing multi-environment releases and approvals.
