Congratulations! By completing this lesson, you now have hands-on experience leveraging Google Cloud Platform to build and operate a full-fledged DevOps pipeline. We began with an overview of how DevOps practices integrate within modern organizations and then proceeded to implement a real-world application using these best practices:
  • Configured a GitHub repository with branch protections and organizational standards
  • Created Cloud Build triggers and defined CI pipelines for automated testing
  • Managed container images with Artifact Registry
  • Deployed workloads to Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)
  • Implemented continuous delivery to push safe, reliable updates into production
Below is a quick reference table summarizing each step:
