At the Google Cloud Next event in San Francisco and online this week, Google and Gitlab introduced an “extended partnership,” which adds Google Cloud Platform (GCP) features to the GitLab DevSecOps platform as well as a new option in the GCP console to create a GitLab project.
David DeSanto, GitLab Chief Product Officer, spoke yesterday at the event, explaining that “This will give Google Cloud customers the ability to easily set up secure pipelines in GitLab that automatically connect and deploy to Google Cloud with full regionalisation and compliance.” There were also warm words from Gabe Monroy, Google VP Developer Experience, who said that the integration is “going to make end to end software supply chain [management] easier and more accessible than ever before.”
Specifically, GitLab will connect to GCP to register and configure runners – continuous integration/delivery (CI/CD) job processes – and use templates to deploy to GCP components such as Cloud Run and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).
