generated by Cloud Deploy. Platform logs in Google Cloud are service-specific
logs, which you can use to debug and troubleshoot issues, and better understand
the Google Cloud services you're using.
Cloud Deploy generates logs for the following events:
Release render state changes to in-progress, succeeded, and failed
Rollout state changes to in-progress, succeeded, failed, halted, canceling,
and canceled
Rollout state changes to pending
approval,
approved, and rejected

waiting for advancement
