Objective 2.2

PCDE

Implementing and managing pipelines

Objective 2.2 sits in Building and implementing CI/CD pipelines, including continuous testing, which carries 25% of the Cloud DevOps Engineer exam. The questions below are original, written from the official objective title above, and each explanation cites the Google Cloud page it rests on.

A worked example

Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.

2-2Building and implementing CI/CD pipelines, including continuous testing

A team lists README.md in both the included files and the ignored files of a trigger. A commit changes only that file. What happens?

The build runs, as inclusion is evaluated firstOrder of evaluation is not what decides it, and the stated outcome runs the other way.
The trigger errors out on conflicting globsOverlapping globs are legal configuration and raise no error when the trigger is saved.
No build is invoked for that commit at allCorrect · your answerCorrect: exclusion takes precedence over inclusion.
A build runs with the file marked skippedThere is no partial run here. Either a build starts or the push is passed over silently.

Correct.

Concept

When two filters disagree about the same path, one of them has to win, and a deny-wins rule is what keeps the outcome predictable. Guessing the precedence is how a pipeline stops firing unnoticed.

Why C

Naming a path on both lists resolves in favour of exclusion. A change touching only that path is treated as a change to an ignored path, so nothing starts.

Source

If you specify a file in both Included files and Ignored files , changes to that file will not invoke a build.

Now you: objective 2.2 questions

No account needed. The explanation opens when you answer.

Sample question 1 of 3

2-2Building and implementing CI/CD pipelines, including continuous testing

An engineer sets a trigger's region to global while its build config file names a private pool. Which region actually runs the build?

Sample question 2 of 3

2-2Building and implementing CI/CD pipelines, including continuous testing

An engineer writes a build step that expects the checked-out source. Where does Cloud Build put the repository contents?

Sample question 3 of 3

2-2Building and implementing CI/CD pipelines, including continuous testing

A security team wants builds from one source provider blocked even where triggers pointing at it already exist. What overrides the trigger?
