GitLab CI/CD
Build production-ready CI/CD pipelines with GitLab in two days: from build and test to automated deployment and seamless continuous delivery of complex software.
GitLab as a central DevOps hub. From simple push to pull requests, tags, issue tracking and as a central output CI/CD pipeline for seamless integration and delivery of complex software. Seamless continuous integration, delivery and deployment from one source.
Trainers
What participants say
Practice-oriented training, great lab environment, all browser-based. It helped me discover GitLab and prepare, even after the first day, a list of ideas to improve and scale our initial GitLab Pipelines.
Cloud Network Engineer
The most professionally prepared and executed course I have ever participated in.
Data Warenhouse Software Engineer, Abraxas Informatik AG
Course material is excellent and the course environment setup is perfect for hands-on. Lots of tips that can be applied immediately and good guidelines for long-term maintenance.
Software developer, Cinémathèque Suisse
This GitLab CICD course gave me a very good understanding and insight into the topic and revealed the potential.
Head Data Analytics and Products
Sehr praxisorientierter Kurs mit aufbauenden Übungen. Sehr gutes Testlab, welches auch über den Kurs hinaus weiterverwendet werden darf.
Applicationmanagement Services, Schaffhauser Kantonalbank
Als Softwareentwickler ist es mir wichtig, qualitativ hochwertigen Code auszuliefern, der den Bedürfnissen der Endnutzer gerecht wird und branchenüblichen Best Practices entspricht. Der Gitlab CI/CD-Kurs, den ich kürzlich besucht habe, war hervorragend. Der Trainer war äußerst kompetent und lieferte auf sympathische Art wertvolle Einblicke in die Funktionalität von Gitlab. Der Kurs half mir, die Features von Gitlab optimal zu nutzen. Die transparente Abwägung der vielen Optionen war dabei ausserordentlich wertvoll. Die Übungseinrichtung, die mit Gitlab CI/CD verwaltet wurde, war anspruchsvoll und lehrreich und ermöglichte es mir, meine neu erworbenen Kenntnisse in realen Szenarien anzuwenden.

History
Dmitriy Zaporozhets and Valery Sizov originally developed GitLab CI as a separate project called GitLab CI. It was launched in 2012 as an open-source alternative to Jenkins and other CI tools.
In 2015, GitLab CI was fully integrated into GitLab, leading to the creation of the GitLab CI/CD platform. Sid Sijbrandij, CEO of GitLab, drove the vision of a single application for the entire DevOps lifecycle. This led to the development of The DevOps Platform.
Today, GitLab CI/CD is a central component of modern DevOps practices and has significantly influenced the development of DevOps and CI/CD. The platform has contributed to the emergence of concepts like GitOps and is used by companies like Goldman Sachs, NASA, and Delta Air Lines.
