GCP Professional Cloud Architect Practice Question
Your organization is modernizing its CI system for dozens of microservices. Security policy mandates that build machines be ephemeral, have no persistent state, and expose no inbound network ports. The pipeline must automatically trigger on pushes to Cloud Source Repositories, build Docker images, push them to Artifact Registry, and record supply-chain provenance metadata for SLSA compliance-without requiring you to manage servers or clusters. Which Google Cloud service should you use for the build phase?
Cloud Deploy
Jenkins running on a managed instance group
Google Kubernetes Engine Autopilot with Tekton pipelines
Cloud Build is Google Cloud's fully managed service for executing builds, tests, and deployments. It spins up short-lived worker VMs or containers for each build, so no state is kept between runs and no inbound ports are exposed. Native triggers listen to Cloud Source Repositories events, and authenticated steps can push artifacts to Artifact Registry. Cloud Build also generates provenance metadata that satisfies SLSA requirements. Cloud Deploy focuses on progressive delivery, not compiling images. GKE Autopilot plus Tekton or self-hosted Jenkins would meet the requirements only with additional cluster or VM administration, violating the goal of eliminating server management.
