Image management pipeline
In this section, we will look at the process of creating an image management pipeline. The process involves a few procedures, and we will look at the high-level steps, including prerequisites that you need to meet before you build your image factory. Let’s now look at the steps:
- Create a strategy for managing image lifecycles, such as golden image promotion, versioning, deprecation, and deletion.
- Bake a golden image, and use an automated compliance check, such as Chef InSpec.
- Ensure that an organization policy is in place to limit the compute images available to individuals working on specific projects.
You will also need to meet a couple of prerequisites:
- Ensure you have a Google Cloud account.
- You either need to have Project Editor access for an existing project, or you need organization permissions to be able to create a new project under the organization.
