We use CircleCI. The build container is provisioned with docker/gcloud/kubectl. The repo webhook fires on commit, the image is built, a test entrypoint is executed on the image to run tests. If the tests pass the image is pushed to the project repository, and then kubectl is used to update the kubernetes deployments with the new image ref.

> The build container is provisioned with docker/gcloud/kubectl. What does this mean? I thought one of the key things that Circle provides is the build container.

  Yes, circle provides the build container and docker, and our scripts install gcloud and kubectl and authorize a service account that can push to the associated project image repository.

    Gotcha. We're doing the same thing here. The only problem is that Circle doesn't cache the image layers, so we do a full build every time, which takes about 10 minutes.

      Yep same here, that's one of the things we need to improve on to get our deploy times down.
