In today’s software development environment, having an efficient development and deployment process is essential. If your company has not yet implemented a complete solution for development, automated scanning, building, and deployment, the professional consulting team at Devops Tec highly recommends GitLab Auto DevOps. This powerful and easy-to-use feature is designed to optimize your software build and deployment workflows.
What is GitLab Auto DevOps
GitLab Auto DevOps is a built-in GitLab feature that supports your software deployment process.
It automatically detects the programming language of your project, uses CI/CD templates to create and run default pipelines, and builds and tests your application. You can configure deployment to stage and production environments, set up review apps to check changes on each branch, and release applications quickly using default settings. Over time, you can extend these pipelines for continuous integration and deployment as well as customization.
Key Benefits
Automated processes
Auto DevOps provides a preconfigured CI/CD pipeline that automates building, testing, and deployment without the need for manual configuration, significantly reducing the workload for development and operations teams.
Simplified configuration
Developers only need to push their code to GitLab. Auto DevOps automatically detects the code type and applies the appropriate build and deployment strategies, making the initial setup process much easier.
CI/CD integration
With continuous integration and continuous deployment built in, Auto DevOps can automatically test code, run security scans, generate builds, and deploy applications. This improves both release reliability and delivery speed.
Support for multiple environments
Auto DevOps can deploy applications to development, testing, and production environments, and makes it easy to manage and configure multiple environments.
Built-in security
Security scanning is integrated into the CI/CD process, including Static Application Security Testing (SAST) and Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST). These help identify and fix vulnerabilities early in the development cycle.
Monitoring and feedback
After deployment, Auto DevOps provides application performance monitoring and feedback tools that help development teams quickly identify and resolve issues, improving stability and user experience.
Kubernetes integration
Auto DevOps can deploy applications directly to Kubernetes clusters. Combined with GitLab’s Kubernetes integration, it supports automated scaling, management, and monitoring of applications.
Getting Started
To use GitLab Auto DevOps, you only need to meet these three conditions:
Auto DevOps is available in both self-managed and SaaS versions. We strongly recommend the SaaS version, as it allows your development team to start using GitLab and Auto DevOps quickly without setup work or ongoing maintenance costs.
There are no additional costs. Purchasing any GitLab EE version includes this feature.
Auto DevOps works with any type of Kubernetes, whether self-hosted or on a public cloud.
Basic Workflow
Once the requirements are met, using Auto DevOps is straightforward:
Create a project in GitLab
Enable Auto DevOps
Upload your project code to the GitLab repository
Auto DevOps will trigger automatically, starting your DevOps process quickly and easily
Conclusion
GitLab Auto DevOps streamlines development and operations with automated and integrated CI/CD pipelines, simplified configuration, built-in security, and monitoring tools. It reduces the risk of errors, boosts team productivity, and allows developers to focus on core development work. The result is higher software quality and faster delivery.
If your company has no prior CI/CD experience and wants to launch a DevOps process quickly, or if you wish to learn more about GitLab Auto DevOps to speed up development and optimization, the Devops Tec consulting team is ready to assist by email or phone.
