Auto DevOps development guide
This document provides a development guide for contributors to Auto DevOps
Development
Auto DevOps builds on top of GitLab CI to create an automatic pipeline
based on your project contents. When Auto DevOps is enabled for a
project, the user does not need to explicitly include any pipeline configuration
through a .gitlab-ci.yml
file.
In the absence of a .gitlab-ci.yml
file, the Auto DevOps CI
template
is used implicitly to configure the pipeline for the project. This
template is a top-level template that includes other sub-templates,
which then defines jobs.
Some jobs use images that are built from external projects:
- Auto Build uses
configuration
in which the
build
job uses an image that is built using theauto-build-image
project. - Auto Deploy uses
configuration
in which the jobs defined in this template use an image that is built using the
auto-deploy-image
project. By default, the Helm chart defined inauto-deploy-app
is used to deploy.
There are extra variables that get passed to the CI jobs when Auto
DevOps is enabled that are not present in a normal CI job. These can be
found in
ProjectAutoDevops
.
