Setting up a continuous delivery pipeline for images
Now that we have deployed our images to GCR, we need to automate the process so that we minimize the manual intervention. In order to do that, we are going to use the Build Triggers section of our Google Container Registry. In this case, we are going to use GitHub as it is the industry standard for Git repositories management.
