The record

Purpose: Cloud Deploy automates continuous delivery of applications through a defined sequence of target environments.
Deployment targets: It can deploy to Google Kubernetes Engine, Cloud Run, GKE attached clusters, and custom targets.
Rollouts: Releases can be promoted between targets and rolled back using the web console, CLI, or API.
Deployment strategies: Features include canary deployment, parallel deployment, rollout verification, deploy hooks, and automated promotion.
Security controls: Cloud Deploy uses IAM roles and conditions to control which authenticated users and service accounts can perform actions.
Audit and monitoring: Cloud Deploy integrates with Cloud Audit Logs and Cloud Logging for auditability, traceability, and platform logs.
Security responsibilities: Google Cloud says it protects the Cloud Deploy service and underlying infrastructure, while customers are responsible for securing their applications, configurations, and integration tokens.
CI integrations: Cloud Deploy can be invoked from CI using its CLI or API, and its documentation describes connections for GitHub Actions and GitLab.
Other integrations: Cloud Deploy uses Skaffold and Cloud Build to render and deploy manifests, and works with artifact repositories and testing or workflow tools.
Pipeline charges: Pipelines with exactly one target do not incur a Cloud Deploy management fee, while charges for underlying services still apply.
Usage limit: The enforced Cloud Deploy system limit is 18,000 API requests per minute per region; related underlying services have their own quotas.
Intended users: The product is presented for teams delivering applications through environments such as test, stage, and production, with organization-wide release monitoring and control.
