My team build a new Closed Build Environment for building Release Packages on Google Cloud Platform(gcp) with Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).

I like to take you on a small journey through a variety of topics we came across (open for change):

• How we bootstrap and how we use ArgoCD

• Autoscaling to 100 Build nodes for building

• Why we are using Prometheus-Operator

• SRE or how we maintain our stack

• Product aspect

• Base Image building & scanning

• Network setup with Shared VPC

• Google Cloud Platform IAM Permissions vs. RBAC

• Specific GKE Features like Workload Identity

And others

Simple real live example how my team is doing it. Looking forward to inspire and to get feedback from others!
