re making ci cd easier vp of product strategy mark pundsack shares everything you need to know about auto devops valerie silverthorne ci cd devops testing production continuous integration and continuous delivery ci cd are the gold standards of software development but they can be challenging to achieve gitlab s auto devops feature is designed to make the ci cd process much easier with baked in best practices and automation that will move code seamlessly through the entire development lifecycle mark pundsack vp of product strategy demonstrated how straightforward and customizable auto devops is during our company wide meeting contribute 2019 here s what you need to know to get started with auto devops it s a shift left auto devops is a ci cd pipeline that we have defined for you mark says it s basically all these best practices that we want to encourage everybody to have and we believe are a good baseline for software development the goal is to have everyone set up to do ci cd but not just the bare minimum ci cd he says like most people when they create a project they start with running tests that s the natural thing for ci and then maybe they ll even get into cd but they re not going to do things like code quality analysis and security analysis and we really believe in the shift left movement if you look at everything as a pipeline we want to take security and things like that which are stuck at the end and we want to move them as far left as possible we believe you should be checking for security even on your first deploy so we said okay let s put all that in there and make a script that says this is everything that you should be doing so let s just do it for you the roots of auto devops can be found in previous versions of gitlab which offered auto deploy we evolved auto devops as the company evolved to have more and more capabilities around the devops lifecycle mark explains today auto devops tackles 12 software development steps automatically customers wanting more flexibility can choose the composable auto devops option where the template can easily be modified to suit the requirements the auto devops process auto devops begins with language detection using heroku buildpacks while not all languages are supported a build is created and tested automatically for the supported languages mark explains auto devops uses the open source version of code climate to do code quality analysis and the results are displayed in the merge request when a change is made after that it s time for security testing including dependency scanning license management and container scanning all those things kick off again right from your first deploy mark says we re really taking shifting left seriously there at this point developers are able to auto review applications and once that review app is available auto devops will kick off dynamic application security testing dast it tries to detect security vulnerabilities in your running application mark says finally auto devops will auto deploy to either staging or production depending on how its configured from the first push it just automatically does all this stuff all the way from deployment to production which is pretty great an app in production will get automatic browser performance testing which both challenges the application and records the results auto monitoring is also running so users can easily track response times error rates and even things like cpu and memory utilization all of this happens without any configuration whatsoever and that s really that s why we put auto in front of all of these mark says it s really almost all the capabilities of our devops lifecycle thrown in by default watch mark demonstrate exactly how auto devops works in the video
