Google Cloud Buildpacks is a repository of builders and buildpacks designed to create container images that run cleanly on Google Cloud container platforms. It is built around full compatibility with the Cloud Native Buildpacks specification, which means it can participate in standardized build workflows while still being tailored to Google Cloud environments. The project supports major runtime destinations such as Cloud Run, GKE, Anthos, and Compute Engine with Container-Optimized OS, and it also powers build flows for App Engine and Cloud Functions. One of its strengths is that it does not only provide buildpacks themselves, but also builder images that work with tools such as pack, kpack, Tekton, and Skaffold, giving developers flexibility in how they incorporate it into CI/CD systems.

Features

  • Cloud Native Buildpacks-compatible builders and buildpacks
  • Support for Cloud Run, GKE, Anthos, and Compute Engine
  • Build system integration for App Engine and Cloud Functions
