Book Description	Use GitLab CI/CD pipelines for automating and deploying different steps of your software development lifecycle using best practices and troubleshooting methodsKey Features: - Automate and optimize every stage of your software development lifecycle with GitLab CI/CD pipelines- Streamline code collaboration and version control using GitLab's powerful Git-based workflows- Troubleshoot and enhance pipeline performance using best practices, Kubernetes, and Terraform- Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBookBook Description: Developers and release engineers understand the high stakes of building, packaging, and deploying code efficiently. Ensuring that your code is fast, secure, and functionally correct can be a time-consuming and complex task. GitLab CI/CD pipelines simplify these tasks, enabling automation and seamless deployment.Automating DevOps with GitLab CI/CD Pipelines starts with the fundamentals of Git and GitLab, guiding you through committing and reviewing code. You'll learn how to set up GitLab Runners to execute and autoscale CI/CD pipelines, configure pipelines for different stages of the software development lifecycle, and analyze pipeline results in GitLab. As you progress, you'll gain expertise in deploying code across environments, integrating GitLab with Kubernetes and Terraform, triggering pipelines, and improving pipeline performance. This book also includes troubleshooting techniques, best practices, real-world use cases, and self-assessments to reinforce key CI/CD concepts and help you prepare for GitLab-related interviews and certifications.By the end of this book, you'll have the skills to build and automate CI/CD pipelines in GitLab, streamline DevOps workflows, and deploy high-quality, secure code with confidence.What You Will Learn: - Understand Git, GitLab, and DevOps fundamentals to streamline software development- Create, configure, and run GitLab CI/CD pipelines for automated code verification and deployment- Secure and deploy code using GitLab's built-in security tools and best practices- Set up and optimize GitLab Runners to efficiently execute pipelines- Leverage advanced CI/CD techniques like DAGs, conditional logic, and GitLab with Kubernetes- Troubleshoot pipeline failures and implement best practices for reliability- Use GitLab CI/CD for end-to-end software lifecycle automationWho this book is for: This book is for DevOps/DevSecOps engineers, application developers, release engineers, quality assurance engineers, security engineers, SREs, and sysadmins looking to automate software delivery using GitLab CI/CD pipelines. If you're preparing for GitLab-related certifications or want to optimize DevOps workflows, this book provides practical examples, best practices, and troubleshooting strategies. Basic knowledge of major stages of the software development life cycle and DevOps processes will be helpful.Table of Contents- Exploring the Life Before DevOps- Practicing Basic Git Commands- Understanding GitLab Components- Understanding GitLab CI/CD Pipeline Structure- Installing and Configuring GitLab Runners- Verifying Your Code- Securing Your Code- Packaging and Deploying Your Code- Enhancing Speed and Maintainability of CI/CD Pipelines- Extending the Reach of CI/CD Pipelines- End-to-End Example- Troubleshooting and Moving Ahead with GitLab- Appendix: Self-Assessment Questions and Answers
