Cloudbuild Ops

What I do

• Guide cloudbuild.yaml authoring and step configuration
• Document the Terraform-via-Cloud-Build pattern (plan on PR, apply on merge)
• Define the cicd/ directory layout conventions
• Cover trigger types, substitution variables, and security practices

When to use me

Use this skill when setting up CI/CD pipelines with Cloud Build, when configuring Terraform to run inside Cloud Build, or when troubleshooting build failures.

cicd/ Directory Layout

cicd/
  Dockerfile                  # Application container build
  .dockerignore               # Build context exclusions
  cloudbuild.yaml             # Main pipeline: build image + push to AR
  cloudbuild-plan.yaml        # Terraform plan (triggered by PR)
  cloudbuild-apply.yaml       # Terraform apply (triggered by merge)
  terraform/
    providers.tf              # Google provider + required version
    backend.tf                # GCS state backend
    variables.tf              # Input variables (project_id, region, etc.)
    main.tf                   # GCP resources (AR repo, Cloud Run, IAM)
    outputs.tf                # Output values (service URL, repo URL)
