Learn GitLab for Auto DevOps using GitLab CLI

GitLab is a single application for the entire software development lifecycle. From project planning and source code management to CI/CD, monitoring, and security. With GitLab CI, it is easy to add build and deployment automation that triggers on every code change, helping you build high-quality, reliable software and deploy it to production at speed.

In this well thought out course, you will learn to use GitLab for implementing the DevOps lifecycle. You will begin with learning how to plan and organize new features, develop them and the application code in an automatic way, deploy and monitor the application in different environments, and refactor your application using GitLab. You will then learn to create a DevOps pipeline to automatically build, test, and deploy software to virtual machines and container environments.

Contents and Overview

This training program includes 2 complete courses, carefully chosen to give you the most comprehensive training possible.

In the first course, Learning GitLab, you will learn how to use GitLab to implement the DevOps culture. GitLab is a very famous tool that lets you cover the entire application development cycle. You will learn how to plan and organize new features, develop them, the application code in an automatic way, deploy and monitor the application in different environments, and refactor your application using only one tool GitLab.

The second course, Hands-On Auto DevOps with GitLab CI, will give you a hands-on tutorial on GitLab CI. You will use GitLab CI to create a DevOps pipeline to automatically build, test, and deploy software to virtual machines and container environments. You will explore the features of GitLab CI, including using runners to execute build jobs, creating multi-stage builds, and deploying to virtualized and containerized environments. You will see how easy it is to get started with GitLab CI by deploying your own runners in cloud environments or on your own servers, using Docker and Kubernetes or ordinary scripting.

By the end of this course, you'll be able to perform all from project planning and source code management to CI/CD, monitoring, and security for your projects.
