Summary

Comprehensive deployment guide for ADK agents across Google Cloud platforms with CI/CD, infrastructure, and troubleshooting.

  • Covers three deployment targets (Agent Engine, Cloud Run, GKE) with a decision matrix comparing scaling, networking, session state, and cost models
  • Includes quick-deploy CLI commands, scaffolded project workflows with make commands, and full CI/CD pipeline setup via GitHub Actions or Cloud Build with Workload Identity Federation
  • Provides platform-specific details for Cloud Run (scaling, Dockerfile, FastAPI endpoints), Agent Engine (source-based deploy, AdkApp pattern), and GKE (Kubernetes resources, Workload Identity)
  • Covers service account architecture, Secret Manager integration, observability setup, testing patterns, and IAP-protected UI deployment
  • Extensive troubleshooting table addressing Terraform locks, auth failures, timeouts, IAM propagation, and common 403/503 errors

ADK Deployment Guide

Scaffolded project? Use the make commands throughout this guide — they wrap Terraform, Docker, and deployment into a tested pipeline.

No scaffold? See Quick Deploy below, or the ADK deployment docs. For production infrastructure, scaffold with /adk-scaffold.
