GitLab 11.0 released!

GitLab recently announced the release of GitLab 11.0 which includes major features such as the Auto DevOps and License Management; among other features.

The Auto DevOps feature is generally available in GitLab 11.0. It is a pre-built, fully featured CI/CD pipeline that automates the entire delivery process. With this feature, one has to simply commit their code and Auto DevOps does the rest. This includes tasks such as building and testing the app; performing code quality, security, and license scans. One can also package, deploy and monitor their applications using Auto DevOps.

Chris Hill, head of systems engineering for infotainment at Jaguar Land Rover, said, “We’re excited about Auto DevOps, because it will allow us to focus on writing code and business value. GitLab can then handle the rest; automatically building, testing, deploying, and even monitoring our application.”

License Management automatically detects licenses of project's dependencies such as,

Enhanced Security Testing of code, containers, and dependencies: GitLab 11.0 has an extended coverage of Static Analysis Security Testing (SAST) and includes Scala and .Net.

Kubernetes integration features: If one needs to debug or check on a pod, they can do so by reviewing the Kubernetes pod logs directly from GitLab's deployment board.

Improved Web IDE: One can view their CI/CD pipelines from the IDE and get immediate feedback if a pipeline fails. Switching tasks can be disruptive, so the updated Web IDE makes it easy to quickly switch to the next merge request, to create, improve, or review without leaving the Web IDE.

Enhanced Epic and Roadmap views : GitLab 11.0 has an updated Epic/Roadmap navigation interface to make it easier to see the big images and make planning easier.
