CICD Gitlab Document

GitLab CI/CD is a service that automates the building, testing, and deployment of software whenever code is pushed to the application. It consists of GitLab CI for continuous integration and GitLab CD for continuous deployment, utilizing a configuration file named .gitlab-ci.yml to define the pipeline. GitLab runners execute the defined jobs in the pipeline, which can be configured to run in various environments such as Shell, Docker, or Kubernetes.

What is GitLab CI/CD?

• GitLab CI (Continuous
Integration) service is a part of
GitLab that build and test the
software whenever developer
pushes code to application.
• GitLab CD (Continuous
Deployment) is a software
service that places the
changes of every code in the
production which results in
everyday deployment of
production.
Many CI/CD platforms
Source Code & CI/CD on same platform
GitLab Architecture
• Gitlab instance or also called
Gitlab server that hosts your
application code and your
pipelines and basically the whole
configuration.

• GitLab Runners
• Gitlab instance will have multiple
Gitlab runners, which are
separate machines connected to
the Gitlab server machine, which
are actually the ones executing
the pipelines.
Pipeline
Configuration -
.gitlab-ci.yml

• Configuration as
Code or Pipeline as Code, the
whole pipeline will be written in
code and hosted in the
applications git repository itself
in a simple YAML file.
• The file has to be called .gitlab-
ci.yml, so that Gitlab can
automatically detect that
pipeline code and execute it
without any extra configuration
effort.
In the root of the project's
repository,
will create this YAML file and
we will
write all the pipeline
configuration inside and we
can actually do that directly in
the Gitlab UI as well, so we
don't have to switch back and
forth from the editor to Gitlab
Jobs
• The tasks in the CI/CD pipeline such as running
tests, building an image, deploying to a
server etc. are configured as called 'jobs’.
• Each job has a name and inside the job we
have a couple of parameters or a couple of
attributes or things that we want to configure
for the job.
• The first attribute and the only required
attribute of a job is what's called a script. And
script is basically, where we list any commands
that should be executed for that job:
Runner Setup - Shell
• curl -L https://packages.gitlab.com/install/repositories/runner/gitlab-
runner/script.deb.sh > script.deb.sh
• sudo bash script.deb.sh
• sudo apt install gitlab-runner
• systemctl status gitlab-runner
• For REGISTRATION_TOKEN go to Project settings -> CICD -> Runners -> Copy the
token and paste in below command
• sudo gitlab-runner register --url https://gitlab.com/ --registration-token
$REGISTRATION_TOKEN
Runner execution flow
Executors
• GitLab Runner implements a number of executors that can be used to
run your builds in different scenarios.

Types of Runners:

1) Shell
2) Docker
3) Kubernetes
To create a .gitlab-ci.yml file:
1.On the left sidebar,
select Repository > Files.
2.Above the file list, select
the branch you want to
commit to. If you’re not
sure, leave master or main.
Then select the plus icon ()
and New file:
3.For the Filename,
type .gitlab-ci.yml and in
the larger window, paste
this sample code:
View the status of your pipeline and jobs
