The predefined CI/CD variables that start with `CI_BUILD_*` were deprecated in GitLab 9.0, and will be removed in GitLab 16.0. If you still use these variables, be sure to change to the replacement [predefined variables](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/variables/predefined_variables.html) which are functionally identical :
| Removed variable | Replacement variable |
| --------------------- |------------------------ |
| `CI_BUILD_BEFORE_SHA` | `CI_COMMIT_BEFORE_SHA` |
| `CI_BUILD_ID` | `CI_JOB_ID` |
| `CI_BUILD_MANUAL` | `CI_JOB_MANUAL` |
| `CI_BUILD_NAME` | `CI_JOB_NAME` |
| `CI_BUILD_REF` | `CI_COMMIT_SHA` |
| `CI_BUILD_REF_NAME` | `CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME` |
| `CI_BUILD_REF_SLUG` | `CI_COMMIT_REF_SLUG` |
| `CI_BUILD_REPO` | `CI_REPOSITORY_URL` |
| `CI_BUILD_STAGE` | `CI_JOB_STAGE` |
| `CI_BUILD_TAG` | `CI_COMMIT_TAG` |
| `CI_BUILD_TOKEN` | `CI_JOB_TOKEN` |
| `CI_BUILD_TRIGGERED` | `CI_PIPELINE_TRIGGERED` |
