Book Description

Developers and release eeers understand the high stakes involved in building, packaging, and deploying code correctly. Ensuring that your code is functionally correct, fast, and secure is a -consuming and complex task. Code implementation, development, and deployment can be conducted efficiently using GitLab D pipelines.

Automating DevOps with GitLab D Pipelines bs with the basics of Git and GitLab, showing how to commit and review code. You'll learn to set up GitLab Runners for executing and autoscaling D pipelines and creating and configuring pipelines for many software development lifecycle steps. You'll also discover where to find pipeline results in GitLab, and how to interpret those results. Through the course of the book, you'll become well-equipped with deploying code to different environments, advancing D pipeline features such as connecting GitLab to a Kubernetes cluster and using GitLab with Terraform, triggering pipelines and improving pipeline performance and using best practices and troubleshooting tips for uncooperative pipelines. In-text examples, use cases, and self-assessments will reinforce the important D, GitLab, and Git concepts, and help you prepare for interviews and certification exams related to GitLab.

By the end of this book, you'll be able to use GitLab to build D pipelines that automate all the DevOps steps needed to build and deploy high-quality, secure code.
