Using Cloud Deploy notifications

This page describes how to use Cloud Deploy service notifications, including how to subscribe to them.

Cloud Deploy uses Pub/Sub to publish notifications for two purposes:

To let you integrate Cloud Deploy with third-party tools and other Google tools, such as tools for workflow ticketing or test infrastructure.
To extend Cloud Deploy with supplemental business logic.

Available topics

Cloud Deploy publishes messages to the following set of Google Pub/Sub topics:

clouddeploy-resources

When there is an operation (create, update, delete) against any Cloud Deploy core resource (automation, custom target type, delivery pipeline, job run, release, rollout, target).
clouddeploy-operations
- When Cloud Deploy renders the Skaffold configuration.
- When Cloud Deploy deploys to a target (Start, Succeed, Failure, Terminated (job run), Cancelled (rollout)).
clouddeploy-approvals
- When Cloud Deploy needs an approval (or rejection) of a rollout.
- When a rollout has been approved or rejected.
clouddeploy-advances
- When a Cloud Deploy rollout has been advanced from one phase to the next.
- When a rollout is ready to be advanced.

You can use a push or pull model for your Pub/Sub subscriptions.
