GitLab for CI/CD Pipelines

Description

In a hands-on environment, learn to use the GitLab toolset to start, progress, or mature your CI/CD environment in a way that integrates with your existing pipelines with GitLab.

This course covers setting up continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) for your projects. It starts with a round-robin discussion of where your team is at with CI/CD today. It then focuses on what is CI/CD, why it should be used, and how to implement within GitLab. This class includes live demonstrations of the use of GitLab.

GitLab CI/CD Training covers some features that are available in all three GitLab pricing tiers (Free, Premium, and Ultimate), some features that are only available in Premium and Ultimate, and a small number of features that are only available in Ultimate.

New certification! Starting in July 2020, we're including class participant access to our new GitLab CI/CD Specialist certification assessments. To earn certification, GitLab CI/CD Training participants must receive a passing score on both a written assessment and a lab assessment evaluated by a GitLab Professional Services Engineer
