easy

Complete the code to specify the build steps in a Cloud Build configuration file.

GCP

steps:
  - name: 'gcr.io/cloud-builders/[1]'
    args: ['build', '-t', 'gcr.io/my-project/my-image', '.']

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'kubectl' instead of 'docker' for building images.

Using 'gcloud' which is for Google Cloud CLI, not building images.

The docker builder is used to build Docker images in Cloud Build steps.

Complete the code to trigger a build on a push to the main branch.

GCP

triggerTemplate:
  branchName: '[1]'
  repoName: 'my-repo'

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Cdevelop

Dmain

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a feature branch name which is not the main branch.

Using 'develop' which is often used for development but not production triggers.

The build trigger activates when code is pushed to the main branch.

hard

Fix the error in the Cloud Build YAML to correctly specify the image push step.

GCP

steps:
  - name: 'gcr.io/cloud-builders/docker'
    args: ['[1]', 'gcr.io/my-project/my-image']

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Apush

Bpull

Cbuild

Drun

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'pull' which downloads images instead of uploading.

Using 'run' which executes containers, not pushes images.

The push command uploads the built image to the container registry.

hard

Fill both blanks to define a substitution variable and use it in the build args.

GCP

substitutions:
  _IMAGE_TAG: '[1]'
steps:
  - name: 'gcr.io/cloud-builders/docker'
    args: ['build', '-t', 'gcr.io/my-project/my-image:[2]', '.']

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Av1.0.0

Blatest

Cv2.1.3

Dstable

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using different values for substitution and image tag causing mismatch.

Using 'latest' which is a moving tag, not a fixed version.

The substitution variable _IMAGE_TAG is set to 'v1.0.0' and used in the image tag.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to configure a Cloud Build step that runs tests, stores results, and sets a timeout.

GCP

steps:
  - name: 'gcr.io/cloud-builders/[1]'
    args: ['test']
    id: 'run-tests'
    waitFor: ['-']
    timeout: '[2]s'
artifacts:
  objects:
    location: 'gs://my-bucket/test-results'
    paths: ['[3]']

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Anpm

Bpytest

Ctest-results.xml

D600

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'npm' which is for Node.js but not the test runner here.

Setting timeout too low or too high without matching the options.

Incorrect artifact path causing missing test results.

The step uses the pytest builder to run tests, sets a 600 second timeout, and stores results in 'test-results.xml'.
