# Customizing Auto DevOps **(FREE)**
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
While [Auto DevOps](index.md) provides great defaults to get you started, you can customize
almost everything to fit your needs. Auto DevOps offers everything from custom
2020-05-24 23:13:21 +05:30
[buildpacks](#custom-buildpacks), to [Dockerfiles](#custom-dockerfile), and
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
[Helm charts](#custom-helm-chart). You can even copy the complete
[CI/CD configuration](#customizing-gitlab-ciyml) into your project to enable
2020-10-24 23:57:45 +05:30
staging and canary deployments,
[manage Auto DevOps with GitLab APIs](customize.md#extend-auto-devops-with-the-api), and more.
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
## Custom buildpacks
2021-09-04 01:27:46 +05:30
If the automatic buildpack detection fails for your project, or if you
need more control over your build, you can customize the buildpacks
used for the build.
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
2021-09-04 01:27:46 +05:30
### Custom buildpacks with Cloud Native Buildpacks
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/28165) in GitLab 12.10.
Specify either:
2022-07-16 23:28:13 +05:30
- The CI/CD variable `BUILDPACK_URL` with any of [`pack`'s URI specification formats](https://buildpacks.io/docs/app-developer-guide/specify-buildpacks/).
2021-09-04 01:27:46 +05:30
- A [`project.toml` project descriptor](https://buildpacks.io/docs/app-developer-guide/using-project-descriptor/) with the buildpacks you would like to include.
### Custom buildpacks with Herokuish
Specify either:
- The CI/CD variable `BUILDPACK_URL`.
- A `.buildpacks` file at the root of your project, containing one buildpack URL per line.
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
The buildpack URL can point to either a Git repository URL or a tarball URL.
For Git repositories, you can point to a specific Git reference (such as
commit SHA, tag name, or branch name) by appending `#<ref>` to the Git repository URL.
For example:
- The tag `v142`: `https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-ruby.git#v142`.
- The branch `mybranch`: `https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-ruby.git#mybranch`.
- The commit SHA `f97d8a8ab49`: `https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-ruby.git#f97d8a8ab49`.
### Multiple buildpacks
Using multiple buildpacks is not fully supported by Auto DevOps, because Auto Test
2021-02-22 17:27:13 +05:30
can't use the `.buildpacks` file. The buildpack
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
[heroku-buildpack-multi](https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-multi/), used
in the backend to parse the `.buildpacks` file, does not provide the necessary commands
`bin/test-compile` and `bin/test`.
2021-04-17 20:07:23 +05:30
If your goal is to use only a single custom buildpack, you should provide the project CI/CD variable
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
`BUILDPACK_URL` instead.
## Custom `Dockerfile`
2021-11-18 22:05:49 +05:30
> Support for `DOCKERFILE_PATH` was [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/35662) in GitLab 13.2
2020-07-28 23:09:34 +05:30
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
If your project has a `Dockerfile` in the root of the project repository, Auto DevOps
builds a Docker image based on the Dockerfile, rather than using buildpacks.
This can be much faster and result in smaller images, especially if your
Dockerfile is based on [Alpine](https://hub.docker.com/_/alpine/).
2021-04-17 20:07:23 +05:30
If you set the `DOCKERFILE_PATH` CI/CD variable, Auto Build looks for a Dockerfile there
2020-07-28 23:09:34 +05:30
instead.
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
## Passing arguments to `docker build`
Arguments can be passed to the `docker build` command using the
2021-04-17 20:07:23 +05:30
`AUTO_DEVOPS_BUILD_IMAGE_EXTRA_ARGS` project CI/CD variable. For example, to build a
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
Docker image based on based on the `ruby:alpine` instead of the default `ruby:latest`:
1. Set `AUTO_DEVOPS_BUILD_IMAGE_EXTRA_ARGS` to `--build-arg=RUBY_VERSION=alpine`.
1. Add the following to a custom `Dockerfile`:
```dockerfile
ARG RUBY_VERSION=latest
FROM ruby:$RUBY_VERSION
# ... put your stuff here
```
Use Base64 encoding if you need to pass complex values, such as newlines and
spaces. Left unencoded, complex values like these can cause escaping issues
due to how Auto DevOps uses the arguments.
2021-02-22 17:27:13 +05:30
WARNING:
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
Avoid passing secrets as Docker build arguments if possible, as they may be
persisted in your image. See
[this discussion of best practices with secrets](https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/13490) for details.
2021-12-11 22:18:48 +05:30
## Custom container image
By default, [Auto Deploy](stages.md#auto-deploy) deploys a container image built and pushed to the GitLab registry by [Auto Build](stages.md#auto-build).
You can override this behavior by defining specific variables:
| Entry | Default | Can be overridden by |
| ----- | ----- | ----- |
| Image Path | `$CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE/$CI_COMMIT_REF_SLUG` for branch pipelines. `$CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE` for tag pipelines. | `$CI_APPLICATION_REPOSITORY` |
| Image Tag | `$CI_COMMIT_SHA` for branch pipelines. `$CI_COMMIT_TAG` for tag pipelines. | `$CI_APPLICATION_TAG` |
2022-01-26 12:08:38 +05:30
These variables also affect Auto Build and Auto Container Scanning. If you don't want to build and push an image to
2021-12-11 22:18:48 +05:30
`$CI_APPLICATION_REPOSITORY:$CI_APPLICATION_TAG`, consider
including only `Jobs/Deploy.gitlab-ci.yml`, or [disabling the `build` jobs](#disable-jobs).
2022-01-26 12:08:38 +05:30
If you use Auto Container Scanning and set a value for `$CI_APPLICATION_REPOSITORY`, then you should
also update `$CS_DEFAULT_BRANCH_IMAGE`. See [Setting the default branch image](../../user/application_security/container_scanning/index.md#setting-the-default-branch-image)
for more details.
2021-12-11 22:18:48 +05:30
Here is an example setup in your `.gitlab-ci.yml`:
```yaml
variables:
CI_APPLICATION_REPOSITORY: <your-image-repository>
CI_APPLICATION_TAG: <the-tag>
```
2020-10-24 23:57:45 +05:30
## Extend Auto DevOps with the API
You can extend and manage your Auto DevOps configuration with GitLab APIs:
- [Settings that can be accessed with API calls](../../api/settings.md#list-of-settings-that-can-be-accessed-via-api-calls),
which include `auto_devops_enabled`, to enable Auto DevOps on projects by default.
- [Creating a new project](../../api/projects.md#create-project).
- [Editing groups](../../api/groups.md#update-group).
- [Editing projects](../../api/projects.md#edit-project).
2021-04-17 20:07:23 +05:30
## Forward CI/CD variables to the build environment
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
2022-03-02 08:16:31 +05:30
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/25514) in GitLab 12.3, but available in GitLab 12.0 and later.
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
2021-04-17 20:07:23 +05:30
CI/CD variables can be forwarded into the build environment using the
`AUTO_DEVOPS_BUILD_IMAGE_FORWARDED_CI_VARIABLES` CI/CD variable.
2020-06-23 00:09:42 +05:30
The forwarded variables should be specified by name in a comma-separated
list. For example, to forward the variables `CI_COMMIT_SHA` and
`CI_ENVIRONMENT_NAME`, set `AUTO_DEVOPS_BUILD_IMAGE_FORWARDED_CI_VARIABLES`
to `CI_COMMIT_SHA,CI_ENVIRONMENT_NAME`.
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
2020-06-23 00:09:42 +05:30
- When using Buildpacks, the forwarded variables are available automatically
as environment variables.
- When using a `Dockerfile`, the following additional steps are required:
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
1. Activate the experimental `Dockerfile` syntax by adding the following code
to the top of the file:
```dockerfile
# syntax = docker/dockerfile:experimental
```
1. To make secrets available in any `RUN $COMMAND` in the `Dockerfile`, mount
the secret file and source it prior to running `$COMMAND`:
```dockerfile
RUN --mount=type=secret,id=auto-devops-build-secrets . /run/secrets/auto-devops-build-secrets && $COMMAND
```
When `AUTO_DEVOPS_BUILD_IMAGE_FORWARDED_CI_VARIABLES` is set, Auto DevOps
enables the experimental [Docker BuildKit](https://docs.docker.com/develop/develop-images/build_enhancements/)
feature to use the `--secret` flag.
## Custom Helm Chart
Auto DevOps uses [Helm](https://helm.sh/) to deploy your application to Kubernetes.
You can override the Helm chart used by bundling up a chart into your project
2021-04-17 20:07:23 +05:30
repository or by specifying a project CI/CD variable:
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
- **Bundled chart** - If your project has a `./chart` directory with a `Chart.yaml`
2021-02-22 17:27:13 +05:30
file in it, Auto DevOps detects the chart and uses it instead of the
2020-11-24 15:15:51 +05:30
[default chart](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/cluster-integration/auto-deploy-image/-/tree/master/assets/auto-deploy-app), enabling
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
you to control exactly how your application is deployed.
2021-09-30 23:02:18 +05:30
- **Project variable** - Create a [project CI/CD variable](../../ci/variables/index.md)
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
`AUTO_DEVOPS_CHART` with the URL of a custom chart to use, or create two project
variables: `AUTO_DEVOPS_CHART_REPOSITORY` with the URL of a custom chart repository,
and `AUTO_DEVOPS_CHART` with the path to the chart.
## Customize values for Helm Chart
2021-02-22 17:27:13 +05:30
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/30628) in GitLab 12.6, `.gitlab/auto-deploy-values.yaml` is used by default for Helm upgrades.
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
You can override the default values in the `values.yaml` file in the
2020-11-24 15:15:51 +05:30
[default Helm chart](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/cluster-integration/auto-deploy-image/-/tree/master/assets/auto-deploy-app) by either:
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
- Adding a file named `.gitlab/auto-deploy-values.yaml` to your repository, which is
automatically used, if found.
- Adding a file with a different name or path to the repository, and setting the
2021-04-17 20:07:23 +05:30
`HELM_UPGRADE_VALUES_FILE` [CI/CD variable](#cicd-variables) with
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
the path and name.
2022-11-25 23:54:43 +05:30
Some values cannot be overridden with the options above. Settings like `replicaCount` should instead be overridden with the `REPLICAS`
2022-04-04 11:22:00 +05:30
[build and deployment](#build-and-deployment) CI/CD variable. Follow [this issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/cluster-integration/auto-deploy-image/-/issues/31) for more information.
2021-02-22 17:27:13 +05:30
NOTE:
2021-04-17 20:07:23 +05:30
For GitLab 12.5 and earlier, use the `HELM_UPGRADE_EXTRA_ARGS` variable
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
to override the default chart values by setting `HELM_UPGRADE_EXTRA_ARGS` to `--values <my-values.yaml>`.
2020-11-24 15:15:51 +05:30
## Customize the `helm upgrade` command
You can customize the `helm upgrade` command used in the [auto-deploy-image](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/cluster-integration/auto-deploy-image)
2021-04-17 20:07:23 +05:30
by passing options to the command with the `HELM_UPGRADE_EXTRA_ARGS` CI/CD variable.
2020-11-24 15:15:51 +05:30
For example, set the value of `HELM_UPGRADE_EXTRA_ARGS` to `--no-hooks` to disable
2021-03-11 19:13:27 +05:30
pre-upgrade and post-upgrade hooks when the command is executed.
2020-11-24 15:15:51 +05:30
See [the official documentation](https://helm.sh/docs/helm/helm_upgrade/) for the full
list of options.
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
## Custom Helm chart per environment
2021-04-17 20:07:23 +05:30
You can specify the use of a custom Helm chart per environment by scoping the CI/CD variable
2021-09-30 23:02:18 +05:30
to the desired environment. See [Limit environment scope of CI/CD variables](../../ci/variables/index.md#limit-the-environment-scope-of-a-cicd-variable).
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
## Customizing `.gitlab-ci.yml`
Auto DevOps is completely customizable because the
2021-09-04 01:27:46 +05:30
[Auto DevOps template](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Auto-DevOps.gitlab-ci.yml)
2021-09-30 23:02:18 +05:30
is just an implementation of a [`.gitlab-ci.yml`](../../ci/yaml/index.md) file,
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
and uses only features available to any implementation of `.gitlab-ci.yml`.
To modify the CI/CD pipeline used by Auto DevOps,
2021-09-30 23:02:18 +05:30
[`include` the template](../../ci/yaml/index.md#includetemplate), and customize
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
it as needed by adding a `.gitlab-ci.yml` file to the root of your repository
containing the following:
```yaml
include:
- template: Auto-DevOps.gitlab-ci.yml
```
2021-02-22 17:27:13 +05:30
Add your changes, and your additions are merged with the
2021-09-04 01:27:46 +05:30
[Auto DevOps template](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Auto-DevOps.gitlab-ci.yml)
2021-09-30 23:02:18 +05:30
using the behavior described for [`include`](../../ci/yaml/index.md#include).
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
If you need to specifically remove a part of the file, you can also copy and paste the contents of the
2021-09-04 01:27:46 +05:30
[Auto DevOps template](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Auto-DevOps.gitlab-ci.yml)
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
into your project and edit it as needed.
2021-10-27 15:23:28 +05:30
## Use multiple Kubernetes clusters
See [Multiple Kubernetes clusters for Auto DevOps](multiple_clusters_auto_devops.md).
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
## Customizing the Kubernetes namespace
2022-08-13 15:12:31 +05:30
In GitLab 14.5 and earlier, you could use `environment:kubernetes:namespace`
to specify a namespace for the environment.
However, this feature was [deprecated](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/configure/-/epics/8),
along with certificate-based integration.
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
2022-08-13 15:12:31 +05:30
You should now use the `KUBE_NAMESPACE` environment variable and
[limit the environments it is available for](../../ci/environments/index.md#scope-environments-with-specs).
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
## Using components of Auto DevOps
If you only require a subset of the features offered by Auto DevOps, you can include
individual Auto DevOps jobs into your own `.gitlab-ci.yml`. Each component job relies
on a stage that should be defined in the `.gitlab-ci.yml` that includes the template.
For example, to make use of [Auto Build](stages.md#auto-build), you can add the following to
your `.gitlab-ci.yml`:
```yaml
stages:
- build
include:
- template: Jobs/Build.gitlab-ci.yml
```
2021-09-04 01:27:46 +05:30
See the [Auto DevOps template](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Auto-DevOps.gitlab-ci.yml) for information on available jobs.
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
2021-02-22 17:27:13 +05:30
WARNING:
2021-09-30 23:02:18 +05:30
Auto DevOps templates using the [`only`](../../ci/yaml/index.md#only--except) or
[`except`](../../ci/yaml/index.md#only--except) syntax have switched
to the [`rules`](../../ci/yaml/index.md#rules) syntax, starting in
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
[GitLab 13.0](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/213336).
If your `.gitlab-ci.yml` extends these Auto DevOps templates and override the `only` or
`except` keywords, you must migrate your templates to use the
2021-09-30 23:02:18 +05:30
[`rules`](../../ci/yaml/index.md#rules) syntax after the
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
base template is migrated to use the `rules` syntax.
2020-05-24 23:13:21 +05:30
For users who cannot migrate just yet, you can alternatively pin your templates to
the [GitLab 12.10 based templates](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/auto-devops-v12-10).
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
2021-09-04 01:27:46 +05:30
## Use images hosted in a local Docker registry
You can configure many Auto DevOps jobs to run in an [offline environment](../../user/application_security/offline_deployments/index.md):
1. Copy the required Auto DevOps Docker images from Docker Hub and `registry.gitlab.com` to their local GitLab container registry.
1. After the images are hosted and available in a local registry, edit `.gitlab-ci.yml` to point to the locally-hosted images. For example:
```yaml
include:
- template: Auto-DevOps.gitlab-ci.yml
variables:
REGISTRY_URL: "registry.gitlab.example"
build:
image: "$REGISTRY_URL/docker/auto-build-image:v0.6.0"
services:
2022-08-13 15:12:31 +05:30
- name: "$REGISTRY_URL/greg/docker/docker:20.10.16-dind"
2021-09-04 01:27:46 +05:30
command: ['--tls=false', '--host=tcp://0.0.0.0:2375']
```
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
## PostgreSQL database support
To support applications requiring a database,
[PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/) is provisioned by default. The credentials to access
the database are preconfigured, but can be customized by setting the associated
2021-04-17 20:07:23 +05:30
[CI/CD variables](#cicd-variables). You can use these credentials to define a `DATABASE_URL`:
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
```yaml
postgres://user:password@postgres-host:postgres-port/postgres-database
```
### Upgrading PostgresSQL
2021-02-22 17:27:13 +05:30
WARNING:
2021-04-17 20:07:23 +05:30
The CI/CD variable `AUTO_DEVOPS_POSTGRES_CHANNEL` that controls default provisioned
2020-05-24 23:13:21 +05:30
PostgreSQL was changed to `2` in [GitLab 13.0](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/210499).
To keep using the old PostgreSQL, set the `AUTO_DEVOPS_POSTGRES_CHANNEL` variable to
`1`.
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
The version of the chart used to provision PostgreSQL:
2020-05-24 23:13:21 +05:30
- Is 8.2.1 in GitLab 13.0 and later, but can be set back to 0.7.1 if needed.
- Can be set to from 0.7.1 to 8.2.1 in GitLab 12.9 and 12.10.
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
- Is 0.7.1 in GitLab 12.8 and earlier.
GitLab encourages users to [migrate their database](upgrading_postgresql.md)
to the newer PostgreSQL.
2021-09-30 23:02:18 +05:30
### Customize values for PostgreSQL Helm Chart
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/cluster-integration/auto-deploy-image/-/issues/113) in auto-deploy-image v2, in GitLab 13.8.
To set custom values, do one of the following:
- Add a file named `.gitlab/auto-deploy-postgres-values.yaml` to your repository. If found, this
file is used automatically. This file is used by default for PostgreSQL Helm upgrades.
- Add a file with a different name or path to the repository, and set the
`POSTGRES_HELM_UPGRADE_VALUES_FILE` [environment variable](#database) with the path
and name.
- Set the `POSTGRES_HELM_UPGRADE_EXTRA_ARGS` [environment variable](#database).
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
### Using external PostgreSQL database providers
While Auto DevOps provides out-of-the-box support for a PostgreSQL container for
production environments, for some use cases, it may not be sufficiently secure or
resilient, and you may want to use an external managed provider (such as
AWS Relational Database Service) for PostgreSQL.
2021-04-17 20:07:23 +05:30
You must define environment-scoped CI/CD variables for `POSTGRES_ENABLED` and
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
`DATABASE_URL` in your project's CI/CD settings:
1. Disable the built-in PostgreSQL installation for the required environments using
2021-10-27 15:23:28 +05:30
environment-scoped [CI/CD variables](../../ci/environments/index.md#scope-environments-with-specs).
2021-02-22 17:27:13 +05:30
For this use case, it's likely that only `production` must be added to this
2020-05-24 23:13:21 +05:30
list. The built-in PostgreSQL setup for Review Apps and staging is sufficient.

1. Define the `DATABASE_URL` variable as an environment-scoped variable that is
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
available to your application. This should be a URL in the following format:
```yaml
postgres://user:password@postgres-host:postgres-port/postgres-database
```
You must ensure that your Kubernetes cluster has network access to wherever
PostgreSQL is hosted.
2021-04-17 20:07:23 +05:30
## CI/CD variables
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
The following variables can be used for setting up the Auto DevOps domain,
providing a custom Helm chart, or scaling your application. PostgreSQL can
also be customized, and you can use a [custom buildpack](#custom-buildpacks).
### Build and deployment
2021-04-17 20:07:23 +05:30
The following table lists CI/CD variables related to building and deploying
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30

After you set up your replica variables using a
2021-09-30 23:02:18 +05:30
[project CI/CD variable](../../ci/variables/index.md),
2020-05-24 23:13:21 +05:30
you can scale your application by redeploying it.
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
2021-02-22 17:27:13 +05:30
WARNING:
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
You should *not* scale your application using Kubernetes directly. This can
cause confusion with Helm not detecting the change, and subsequent deploys with
Auto DevOps can undo your changes.

### Application secret variables
Some applications need to define secret variables that are accessible by the deployed
2021-04-17 20:07:23 +05:30
application. Auto DevOps detects CI/CD variables starting with `K8S_SECRET_`, and makes
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
these prefixed variables available to the deployed application as environment variables.
To configure your application variables:
2022-10-11 01:57:18 +05:30
1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
2021-11-11 11:23:49 +05:30
1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > CI/CD**.
1. Expand **Variables**.
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
1. Create a CI/CD variable, ensuring the key is prefixed with
`K8S_SECRET_`. For example, you can create a variable with key
`K8S_SECRET_RAILS_MASTER_KEY`.
1. Run an Auto DevOps pipeline, either by manually creating a new
pipeline or by pushing a code change to GitLab.
2021-02-22 17:27:13 +05:30
Auto DevOps pipelines take your application secret variables to
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
populate a Kubernetes secret. This secret is unique per environment.
When deploying your application, the secret is loaded as environment
variables in the container running the application. Following the
example above, you can see the secret below containing the
`RAILS_MASTER_KEY` variable.
```shell
$ kubectl get secret production-secret -n minimal-ruby-app-54 -o yaml
apiVersion: v1
data:
RAILS_MASTER_KEY: MTIzNC10ZXN0
kind: Secret
metadata:
creationTimestamp: 2018-12-20T01:48:26Z
name: production-secret
namespace: minimal-ruby-app-54
resourceVersion: "429422"
selfLink: /api/v1/namespaces/minimal-ruby-app-54/secrets/production-secret
uid: 57ac2bfd-03f9-11e9-b812-42010a9400e4
type: Opaque
```
Environment variables are generally considered immutable in a Kubernetes pod.
If you update an application secret without changing any code, then manually
2021-02-22 17:27:13 +05:30
create a new pipeline, any running application pods don't receive
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
the updated secrets. To update the secrets, either:
- Push a code update to GitLab to force the Kubernetes deployment to recreate pods.
- Manually delete running pods to cause Kubernetes to create new pods with updated
secrets.
Variables with multi-line values are not currently supported due to
limitations with the current Auto DevOps scripting environment.
### Advanced replica variables setup
Apart from the two replica-related variables for production mentioned above,
you can also use other variables for different environments.
The Kubernetes' label named `track`, GitLab CI/CD environment names, and the
replicas environment variable are combined into the format `TRACK_ENV_REPLICAS`,
enabling you to define your own variables for scaling the pod's replicas:
- `TRACK`: The capitalized value of the `track`
[Kubernetes label](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/labels/)
2021-02-22 17:27:13 +05:30
in the Helm Chart app definition. If not set, it isn't taken into account
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
to the variable name.
- `ENV`: The capitalized environment name of the deploy job, set in
`.gitlab-ci.yml`.
In the example below, the environment's name is `qa`, and it deploys the track
`foo`, which results in an environment variable named `FOO_QA_REPLICAS`:
```yaml
QA testing:
stage: deploy
environment:
name: qa
script:
2020-07-28 23:09:34 +05:30
- deploy foo
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
```
The track `foo` being referenced must also be defined in the application's Helm chart, like:
```yaml
replicaCount: 1
image:
repository: gitlab.example.com/group/project
tag: stable
pullPolicy: Always
secrets:
- name: gitlab-registry
application:
track: foo
tier: web
service:
enabled: true
name: web
type: ClusterIP
url: http://my.host.com/
externalPort: 5000
internalPort: 5000
```
### Deploy policy for staging and production environments
2021-02-22 17:27:13 +05:30
NOTE:
2021-10-27 15:23:28 +05:30
You can also set this inside your [project's settings](requirements.md#auto-devops-deployment-strategy).
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
The normal behavior of Auto DevOps is to use continuous deployment, pushing
automatically to the `production` environment every time a new pipeline is run
on the default branch. However, there are cases where you might want to use a
staging environment, and deploy to production manually. For this scenario, the
2021-04-17 20:07:23 +05:30
`STAGING_ENABLED` CI/CD variable was introduced.
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
2021-01-29 00:20:46 +05:30
If you define `STAGING_ENABLED` with a non-empty value, then GitLab automatically deploys the application
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
to a `staging` environment, and creates a `production_manual` job for
you when you're ready to manually deploy to production.
### Deploy policy for canary environments **(PREMIUM)**
You can use a [canary environment](../../user/project/canary_deployments.md) before
deploying any changes to production.
2021-01-29 00:20:46 +05:30
If you define `CANARY_ENABLED` with a non-empty value, then two manual jobs are created:
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
- `canary` - Deploys the application to the canary environment.
- `production_manual` - Manually deploys the application to production.
### Incremental rollout to production **(PREMIUM)**
2021-02-22 17:27:13 +05:30
NOTE:
2021-10-27 15:23:28 +05:30
You can also set this inside your [project's settings](requirements.md#auto-devops-deployment-strategy).
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
When you're ready to deploy a new version of your app to production, you may want
to use an incremental rollout to replace just a few pods with the latest code to
check how the application is behaving before manually increasing the rollout up to 100%.
If `INCREMENTAL_ROLLOUT_MODE` is set to `manual` in your project, then instead
of the standard `production` job, 4 different
[manual jobs](../../ci/pipelines/index.md#add-manual-interaction-to-your-pipeline)
2021-02-22 17:27:13 +05:30
are created:
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
1. `rollout 10%`
1. `rollout 25%`
1. `rollout 50%`
1. `rollout 100%`
2021-04-17 20:07:23 +05:30
The percentage is based on the `REPLICAS` CI/CD variable, and defines the number of
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
pods you want to have for your deployment. If the value is `10`, and you run the
2021-02-22 17:27:13 +05:30
`10%` rollout job, there is `1` new pod and `9` old ones.
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
2022-07-23 23:45:48 +05:30
To start a job, select the play icon (**{play}**) next to the job's name. You're not
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
required to go from `10%` to `100%`, you can jump to whatever job you want.
You can also scale down by running a lower percentage job, just before hitting
`100%`. Once you get to `100%`, you can't scale down, and you'd have to roll
back by redeploying the old version using the
2021-04-17 20:07:23 +05:30
[rollback button](../../ci/environments/index.md#retry-or-roll-back-a-deployment) in the
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
environment page.
2021-02-22 17:27:13 +05:30
Below, you can see how the pipeline appears if the rollout or staging
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
variables are defined.
Without `INCREMENTAL_ROLLOUT_MODE` and without `STAGING_ENABLED`:

### Timed incremental rollout to production **(PREMIUM)**
2021-02-22 17:27:13 +05:30
NOTE:
2021-10-27 15:23:28 +05:30
You can also set this inside your [project's settings](requirements.md#auto-devops-deployment-strategy).
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
This configuration is based on
2020-11-24 15:15:51 +05:30
[incremental rollout to production](#incremental-rollout-to-production).
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
Everything behaves the same way, except:
2021-04-17 20:07:23 +05:30
- To enable it, set the `INCREMENTAL_ROLLOUT_MODE` CI/CD variable to `timed`.
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
- Instead of the standard `production` job, the following jobs are created with
a 5 minute delay between each:
1. `timed rollout 10%`
1. `timed rollout 25%`
1. `timed rollout 50%`
1. `timed rollout 100%`
## Auto DevOps banner
The following Auto DevOps banner displays for users with Maintainer or greater
permissions on new projects when Auto DevOps is not enabled:
![Auto DevOps banner](img/autodevops_banner_v12_6.png)
The banner can be disabled for:
- A user, when they dismiss it themselves.
2021-04-17 20:07:23 +05:30
- A project, by explicitly [disabling Auto DevOps](index.md#enable-or-disable-auto-devops).
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
- An entire GitLab instance:
- By an administrator running the following in a Rails console:
```ruby
2020-06-23 00:09:42 +05:30
Feature.enable(:auto_devops_banner_disabled)
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
```
2021-11-18 22:05:49 +05:30
- Through the REST API with an administrator access token:
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
```shell
2021-02-22 17:27:13 +05:30
curl --data "value=true" --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <personal_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/features/auto_devops_banner_disabled"
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
