The tutorial shows how to deploy a Google Agent Development Kit (ADK) AI agent to Google Cloud's Agent Engine using GitLab’s native Google Cloud integration and CI/CD pipelines. It walks through configuring IAM with Workload Identity Federation, creating a .gitlab-ci.yml that includes built‑in security scanning templates, and running the pipeline to push the agent to a staging bucket before final deployment. After the pipeline succeeds, the guide explains how to verify the deployment in the Vertex AI console and test the agent via a curl request. Security benefits such as keyless authentication and audit trails are highlighted throughout.
