Cloud Build documentation
Cloud Build is a service that executes your builds on Google Cloud infrastructure. Cloud Build can import source code from Cloud Storage, GitLab, GitHub, or Bitbucket, execute a build to your specifications, and produce artifacts such as Docker containers or Java archives.
Cloud Build executes your build as a series ofbuild steps, where each build step is run in a Docker container. A build step can do anything that can be done from a container irrespective of the environment. To perform your tasks, you can eitheruse the supported build steps provided by Cloud Build orwrite your own build steps.
