GCP Professional Cloud Architect Practice Question

In preparation for designing a Google Cloud Build pipeline, the engineering lead asks you to clarify the difference between continuous integration, continuous delivery, and continuous deployment. Which of the following explanations correctly characterizes the three practices so the team can agree on pipeline goals?

  • CI and continuous delivery are identical practices focused on automated builds; continuous deployment introduces automated testing of the application.

  • CI triggers production deployments on every commit; continuous delivery waits for a nightly batch build; continuous deployment packages artifacts for later manual installation.

  • CI packages code only when a merge request is approved; continuous delivery automatically deploys to production, whereas continuous deployment deploys first to staging and waits for sign-off.

  • CI automatically builds and tests each commit; continuous delivery adds packaging and staging so the software is always releasable but requires a human decision to push; continuous deployment removes that manual gate, sending every passing build straight to production.
