Google Cloud Container: Create a docker container from a Dockerfile

Is it possible to create a docker container in a Google Container Engine cluster, using a dockerfile, which builds an image on-the-fly and deploy in cluster, rather than creating an image first and uploading it to a Google Container Registry, and then using it from there?

I feel like that is cumbersome, and there should be a way to create containers in cluster directly using a dockerfile.

One service to take a look at when constructing a workflow is Google Container Builder, which can simplify the process of building a container from source and pushing it to Google Container Registry.

It is currently a fairly low level service, but offers some advantages for environments where it may be impractical to run docker build locally.

It is not possible to do this in Google Container Engine. Google Container Engine is designed to help orchestrate container deployment and does not itself provide a source -> deployment workflow.

You may want to look at Google App Engine or Openshift 3 (which is built on Kubernetes) as a more fully featured platform-as-a-service offering.

You can also build this type of tooling on top of a Google Container Engine cluster yourself as all of the building blocks are available.
