Google Cloud Build is a fully managed continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) platform that lets you build, test, and deploy software on Google Cloud. It executes your builds as a series of steps in Docker containers, giving you full control over the build environment while eliminating the need to manage build servers.
Cloud Build is a serverless CI/CD service. You define build steps in a configuration file, and Cloud Build executes them in isolated containers. Each step runs in its own container, and steps can share data through a persistent workspace volume.

| Container-based | Each build step runs in a Docker container |
| Fast | Parallel step execution and build caching |
| Secure | Runs in isolated environments with IAM-based access |
| Flexible | Any Docker image can be a build step |
| Integrated | Native integration with GCP services |
