Key Features
– Faster time to value: GitLab reduces the amount of time developers must spend on tooling, freeing them to focus on software development. The addition of Auto DevOps brings best practices to your project by automatically configuring software development lifecycles by default, providing out-of-the box templates to automatically enable and configure build, test, code quality, review apps, deploy, and monitoring.
– Increased productivity: Refreshed User Interface providing easier navigation, as well as new testing and monitoring capabilities. Productivity features used to reduce cycle time include enhanced subgroups, deploy boards and Prometheus, the ability to store files in object repository, and augmented integration support for both Slack as well as JIRA.
– Expanded Kubernetes capabilities: GitLab CI/CD makes deploying to Kubernetes a seamless process by offering a quick way to configure, deploy, and monitor applications inside Kubernetes, whether GitLab is installed inside or outside the cluster.
– Greater collaboration with group-level issue boards: Enabling teams working across multiple projects, such as when adopting a microservices architecture, group-level issue boards allow you to manage issues across all projects in a single group, in one view. Lists, labels, and milestones are all managed at the group-level in a group.
