Cloud-builders: go: selecting the version of Go to build with?
It would be great if there was some way to specify the Go release to use to build a container. As far as I can tell, this is not controllable. This is not a critical issue for us at the moment, but at some point we will want to control when we upgrade between major releases. I don't have a good idea for how this should work, although maybe having a GO_VERSION variable would work, although you would then need to ship all the versions in your base image. Alternatively, maybe you need to replicate all the tags from the upstream golang Docker image?

Thank you for the feedback. In the coming week, we'll look to clarify the versions available like we've done with the Docker builder; you'll likely specify your desired version via tag rather than an envvar.
Does that sound like it will meet your needs?

Yes, definitely: Having the upstream golang image tags available would definitely work. Thanks!

But you can't use version number, any reason for that?

closing as obsolete; see https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-builders/issues/677
note that golang lets you specify version by tag
