GitLab Setup

In GitLab you can create teams and subteams at up to 20 hierarchical levels. Individual versions of software development are also recorded, hence you can find out who made the changes and what exactly was done. Last but not least, GitLab allows you to monitor the progress of subtasks and the time spent on them.

GitLab allows you to connect to a variety of useful tools used in software development. Examples include project management tools such as Attlassian Jira and Redmine, Jenkins automation technology, or integration with the Icinga monitoring project.

Continuous Integration (CI) is the process of merging parts of the developed code into a final whole. In GitLab, such merging usually takes place several times a day, while the code is analysed and tested at the same time. Potential problems will be revealed in the beginning.

Thanks to GitLab, many worries associated with the DevOps methodology are eliminated. Gitlab detects code language, enables automatic testing, measures code quality, and finds security flaws and licensing issues. The developers then have more time for creativity and the code development itself.

GitLab also makes it easier to work with containers. Thanks to the Clair and Klar tools, Docker containers can be scanned to detect their vulnerabilities. The Cilium plugin, in turn, helps with Kubernetes network security. GitLab also supports detection and monitoring of metrics from Kubernetes.
