Google Cloud Deploy is a fully managed continuous delivery service that automates the deployment of applications to GCP targets such as GKE, Cloud Run, and Anthos. It provides a structured delivery pipeline with promotion between environments, approval gates, rollback capabilities, and deployment verification — all managed through a declarative configuration.
Cloud Deploy is the CD (Continuous Delivery) counterpart to Cloud Build's CI (Continuous Integration). While Cloud Build handles building and testing, Cloud Deploy manages the progression of artefacts through deployment environments.
| Characteristic | Description |
|---|---|
| Managed delivery | Google handles the deployment infrastructure |
| Progressive delivery | Promote releases through environments (dev → staging → production) |
| Approval gates | Require manual approval before production deployments |
| Rollback | One-click rollback to any previous release |
| Render and deploy | Separates manifest rendering from deployment execution |
| Audit trail | Full history of every release, promotion, and rollback |
| Canary deployments | Gradual rollout with automatic traffic shifting |
