- A
Step 1: Create build config → Step 2: Set trigger → Step 3: Define delivery pipeline → Step 4: Push code → Step 5: Promote
This order is correct because you first create the build configuration file (cloudbuild.yaml), then set up a trigger to automatically start builds on code changes, define the delivery pipeline for deployments, push code to trigger the build, and finally promote the release through the pipeline stages.
- B
Step 1: Create build config → Step 2: Set trigger → Step 3: Push code → Step 4: Define delivery pipeline → Step 5: Promote
Why wrong: This order is incorrect because pushing code before defining the delivery pipeline means the build might succeed, but there is no pipeline to deploy to, so the release cannot proceed. The pipeline must be defined before the build is triggered for continuous deployment.
- C
Step 1: Define delivery pipeline → Step 2: Create build config → Step 3: Set trigger → Step 4: Push code → Step 5: Promote
Why wrong: This order is incorrect because defining the delivery pipeline before creating the build config is premature; the build config defines how to build the application, which is needed to generate the artifacts that the pipeline deploys. Without a build config, the pipeline has nothing to deploy.
- D
Step 1: Push code → Step 2: Create build config → Step 3: Set trigger → Step 4: Define delivery pipeline → Step 5: Promote
Why wrong: This order is incorrect because pushing code without a build config or trigger means no build will be initiated. The build config and trigger must be set up first so that when code is pushed, the build process starts automatically.
PCDOE Practice Question: Bootstrapping a Google Cloud organization for DevOps
This PCDOE practice question tests your understanding of bootstrapping a google cloud organization for devops. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
Order the steps to set up a CI/CD pipeline using Cloud Build and Cloud Deploy for a Cloud Run service.

Correct answer & explanation
Step 1: Create build config → Step 2: Set trigger → Step 3: Define delivery pipeline → Step 4: Push code → Step 5: Promote
The correct order for setting up a CI/CD pipeline using Cloud Build and Cloud Deploy for a Cloud Run service begins with creating a build configuration file (cloudbuild.yaml) that specifies how to build and test the application. Next, you set a trigger (e.g., on push to a branch) in Cloud Build to automatically start builds. Then, you define a delivery pipeline in Cloud Deploy with targets (e.g., staging, production) and approval gates. After that, you push code to the repository, which triggers the build and, if successful, creates a release in the delivery pipeline. Finally, you promote the release through the stages (e.g., from staging to production) either automatically or after manual approval. This order ensures each prerequisite is in place before the next step, enabling a seamless automated workflow.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
- Use explanations to understand the rule behind the answer.
TExam Day Tips
- Underline the problem statement mentally.
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A cloud solutions architect for a retail company is evaluating services for a new workload. The correct answer here reflects best practice for the specific scenario described — not a general cloud recommendation. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Cloud exam questions reward reading the constraint carefully: the same technology can be right or wrong depending on the use case.
