Google Cloud Build
Google Cloud Build
Fully serverless platform. Cloud Build scales up and scales down in response to load with no need to pre-provision servers or pay in advance for additional capacity. Pay only for what you use. With custom build steps and pre-created extensions to third party apps, enterprises can easily tie their legacy or home-grown tools as a part of their build process. Guard against security threats in your software supply chain with vulnerability scanning. Automatically block the deployment of vulnerable images based on policies set by DevSecOps. Cloud Build scales up and down with no infrastructure to set up, upgrade, or scale. Run builds in a fully managed environment across Google Cloud, on-premises, other public clouds, or your own private network. Create portable images directly from the source without a Dockerfile using buildpacks. Support for Tekton pipelines running on Kubernetes gives you scale and self-healing benefits of Kubernetes, without lock-in.
