Data Science Model Deployments and Cloud Computing on GCP - Introduction to Cloud Build

The video tutorial introduces Cloud Build, a service on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) used for automating application build and deployment processes. It explains Cloud Build as a fully managed continuous deployment (CD) platform that supports various cloud services like Cloud Run and App Engine. The tutorial covers how to use Cloud Build by creating a YAML file to define build steps, such as building Docker images and deploying them. It also discusses setting up continuous deployment with Cloud Build by creating Git repositories and build triggers, allowing automatic deployment upon code changes.

What is the primary function of Cloud Build in application deployment?

• To manage cloud storage

• To automate build and deployment processes

• To provide analytics for applications

• To monitor application performance

Which file format is used to define the build steps in Cloud Build?

• CSV

• JSON

• XML

• YAML

What is the first step in the Cloud Build process as mentioned in the video?

• Testing the application

• Deploying the application

• Building the Docker image

• Creating a Git repository

What triggers a new build in Cloud Build when using continuous deployment?

• A new user login

• A change in the cloud service

• A scheduled time

• A change in the source code on a specific branch

What is the purpose of creating build triggers on GCP?

• To monitor application performance

• To automatically trigger builds upon code changes

• To store application logs

• To manually start the build process
