In this lab, learners will design and implement a Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline on Google Cloud Platform. You will build a pipeline that spans multiple environments, such as development, testing, and production, using Cloud Build and Cloud Deploy. The pipeline will include advanced deployment strategies like canary and blue/green deployments. Additionally, you will focus on integrating security by implementing Artifact Registry with vulnerability scanning and Binary Authorization. This lab will also cover IAM roles and organization policies to ensure that teams can securely deploy applications at scale. Finally, learners will learn to automate repetitive tasks via Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, thereby enabling efficient environment bootstrapping.
A software development company, 'Cloud Innovations', aims to modernize its application deployment process across multiple environments. The company needs a reliable CI/CD pipeline with proper IAM roles and security integrations. The production environment must maintain a 99.95% uptime SLA while accommodating the dynamic nature of deployment strategies, like canary releases for new features and rollbacks in case of failures.
