2018–2024

GitLab is launching GitLab Serverless in version 11.6, enabling users to plan, build, and manage serverless workloads within the same GitLab UI. This feature leverages Knative for autoscaling serverless workloads on Kubernetes, supporting multi-cloud strategies. The integration with TriggerMesh and Sebastien Goasguen aims to provide a best-in-class serverless experience. The "Serverless" tab will be available as an alpha offering, allowing users to view and manage their defined functions, including secure sudo access for workspaces via Sysbox, Kata Containers, or user namespaces.

It details the challenge of needing elevated privileges within workspaces for tasks like package installation and debugging, and how this is prevented by default due to security measures. The post then explains three methods to enable this secure sudo access: Sysbox, Kata Containers, and user namespaces, providing Kubernetes and GitLab agent configuration details for each. It concludes with a demonstration of creating a workspace with these configurations and successfully installing and using `jq` for log analysis.
