Google Professional Cloud Developer Question 258
Select 2Google Cloud PlatformYou are tasked with setting up a continuous integration (CI) pipeline for a containerized application. The pipeline must build Docker images from your source code, store these images in a secure repository, and ensure they are ready for deployment. Which combination of Google Cloud services should you use to fulfill these requirements?
- A
Cloud Build for building Docker images and Artifact Registry for storing the container images.
- B
Cloud Functions for building Docker images and Cloud SQL for storing the container images.
- C
Cloud Build for building Docker images and Cloud Storage for storing the container images.
- D
Artifact Registry for both building and storing Docker images.
- E
Cloud Build for building Docker images and Artifact Registry for storing the container images securely.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, E
Explanation
The correct combination of services for this scenario is Cloud Build and Artifact Registry. Cloud Build automates the process of building Docker images directly from source code, while Artifact Registry provides a secure, scalable, and managed solution for storing the resulting container images. These services work seamlessly together to create an efficient and reliable continuous integration pipeline for containerized applications.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Cloud Build is designed to automate the process of building container images, and Artifact Registry is a secure, scalable repository for storing these images.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Cloud Functions is not used for building Docker images, and Cloud SQL is a managed relational database service, not a container image repository.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While Cloud Build is suitable for building Docker images, Cloud Storage is not optimized for storing container images as it lacks the features of Artifact Registry.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Artifact Registry is not used for building Docker images; it is specifically for storing and managing container images and other artifacts.
- E. Correct.
Correct. This combination fulfills the requirement to build Docker images and securely store them in a repository optimized for containerized applications.
