GCP service for advanced deployment orchestration with support for progressive rollouts and approval gates. Like a sophisticated deployment manager that carefully rolls out changes with safety checks.
Cloud Deploy manages blue-green deployments to GKE clusters, automatically promoting new versions through dev, staging, and production with manual approval gates.
Cloud Deploy is GCP’s managed continuous delivery (CD) orchestration service for GKE/Cloud Run that supports progressive delivery and approvals. Closest analogs are AWS CodeDeploy (deployment automation with rollout strategies), Azure DevOps Pipelines (CD pipelines and approvals), and OCI DevOps (build/deploy pipelines with approvals). Exact feature parity varies: Cloud Deploy is purpose-built for GKE/Cloud Run with release pipelines, targets, and gated promotions.
