Benefits

Achieve elite performance in your software development and delivery

Increase the speed of your deployments
The best teams deploy 208x more frequently and have lead times 106x faster when compared to low performers.
Improve the stability of your software
High performers don’t trade off speed and stability. The best teams recover from incidents 2.604x faster and have change fail rates 7x lower.
Build security in from the start
High performers spend 50% less time fixing security issues compared to low performers.

Best Practice
DevOps capabilities
Explore the technical, process, measurement, and cultural capabilities which drive higher software delivery and organizational performance.
Quickstart
Getting started with Cloud Build
Use Cloud Build to build a Docker image and push the image to Container Registry.
Quickstart
Getting started with Artifact Registry
Learn about Artifact Registry, a universal package manager for all your build artifacts and dependencies. Try the Docker quickstart for an example of what it can do.
Quickstart
Getting started with Cloud Monitoring
Use Cloud Monitoring for visibility into the performance, availability, and overall health of your cloud-powered applications.
Best Practice
Jenkins on Google Kubernetes Engine
Jenkins on Google Kubernetes Engine allows you to improve software delivery performance with continuous integration, continuous delivery, and automated deployment.
Best Practice
Defining SLOs
Service level objectives (SLOs) help teams define a target level of reliability. SLOs allow teams to monitor for business decisions and to experiment safely.
Tutorial
Creating continuous delivery pipelines
Use Spinnaker and Google Kubernetes Engine to create continuous delivery pipelines, allowing for lightweight change approvals and automated deployments.
Tutorial
Cloud Monitoring metric export
Export metrics to BigQuery for long-term analysis, allowing you to improve monitoring and observability, monitor for business decisions, and create visual displays.
Best Practice
Using Terraform with Google Cloud
Provision Google Cloud resources declaratively with Terraform.
