How do I reduce deployment time on GCP?

Start with Cloud Build for scalable CI, Artifact Registry for fast pulls, GKE Autopilot for cluster smarts. Kill manuals with Cloud Deploy.

What's the biggest win in GKE Autopilot?

Faster pod scheduling and zero node management—rollouts fly without ops overhead.

Does Cloud Build replace Jenkins?

Yes, for most: auto-scale, no servers, GCP-native. Configs are YAML-simple.
