1 post · Nov 2019

What this trail covers

GitLab's CI/CD capabilities are designed to be cloud-agnostic, enabling organizations to implement consistent DevOps workflows across multiple cloud providers. This approach aims to provide workflow portability, flexibility, resilience, and improved negotiation leverage with cloud vendors, preventing vendor lock-in. Unlike cloud-provider-specific solutions like GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD offers a truly independent platform for managing deployments across any cloud environment.
