   A team's Cloud Build pipeline runs integration tests that require a Redis cache. The team wants to use a Redis container as a service in the build step. How should they configure this in cloudbuild.yaml?

   • AInstall Redis directly in the test step's container using a custom builder.
   • BRun the Redis container in a separate Cloud Build build and pass its IP address to the test build via a substitution variable.
   • CAdd a step that runs the Redis container and then a step that runs the tests, ensuring the Redis step completes before the test step starts.
   • DUse the 'services' field in the test step to define a Redis container that runs alongside the test step.

   A team's Cloud Build pipeline runs unit and integration tests. They want to prevent a deployment to Cloud Run if any test fails. They also want to be notified in a Slack channel when the pipeline fails. What is the most efficient way to configure this?

   • AAdd a step after the tests that checks the exit code and conditionally deploys only if the tests passed.
   • BConfigure the test step to fail the build on test failure, and set up a Cloud Build trigger with a Slack webhook notification on build failure.
   • CDeploy first, then run tests, and roll back if the tests fail.
   • DUse a separate pipeline for tests and deployments, and manually check the test results before deploying.

   A development team uses Cloud Build to run their CI/CD pipeline. They have a set of integration tests that require a Cloud Spanner emulator and a running instance of their application. They want these tests to run automatically on every push to the main branch, but only after the application is built. How should they configure this in cloudbuild.yaml?

   • AAdd a single step that runs the integration tests, and rely on the build step to have already run in a previous pipeline.
   • BCreate a separate cloudbuild.yaml for integration tests and trigger it with a Pub/Sub message after the main build completes.
   • CDefine a build step first, then a step that starts the Spanner emulator, then a step that runs the integration tests, all in the same cloudbuild.yaml.
   • DUse a custom builder that combines the build and test commands into a single step.
