Cloud Deploy Verify Job Skaffold Failure

Worked example. The correct answer is already marked and every option is explained below, so there is nothing to select here. To answer questions yourself, start the free trial.

Your team uses Google Cloud Deploy to deliver microservices to a production Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster using a canary deployment strategy. You recently updated the delivery pipeline YAML configuration to enable automated deployment verification by setting verify: true under the canaryDeployment strategy.

During the subsequent release rollout, the deployment phase succeeds, but the rollout immediately fails and halts during the verification phase before executing any test suites. Inspection of the clouddeploy-operations Pub/Sub notification logs confirms a JobRun failure with JobType: Verify.

What is the root cause of this pipeline failure, and what action should you take to resolve it?

The skaffold.yaml configuration lacks a verify stanza with test container definitions; you must add the verify stanza and ensure the Skaffold apiVersion is skaffold/v3alpha1 or greater.

The target GKE cluster lacks the GKE security posture dashboard advanced vulnerability insights; you must enable container OS and language package scanning.

The delivery pipeline is missing predeploy and postdeploy lifecycle hooks in DeliveryPipeline; you must declare custom action hooks pointing to Skaffold lifecycle scripts.

The delivery pipeline target configuration is using standard kubectl rendering instead of Helm; you must change the deployer stanza in skaffold.yaml to deploy.helm.
