_This blog is written for managed service providers (MSPs) looking to build a GitLab practice. If you’re a developer or engineering leader, this is the program that can empower the partners who help teams like yours scale and move faster._
Many organizations know they need a modern DevSecOps platform. What they often don't have is the bandwidth to deploy, manage, and continuously optimize one…
GitLab uses GPG key to sign the metadata of the various apt and yum repositories that are used to distribute official omnibus-gitlab and gitlab-runner packages, to ensure integrity of packages, in addition to the packages themselves being signed by a separate key.
The current key used for the metadata signing, with the fingerprint F640 3F65 44A3 8863 DAA0 B6E0 3F01 618A 5131 2F3F, is set to…
For organizations in regulated industries, the path to AI-powered automation comes with hard constraints. Data residency, vendor control, and governance aren't negotiable, and many organizations have already made significant investments in their own models with rigorous approval processes governing how and where those models operate.
With GitLab 18.9, we are delivering two capabilities that…
GitLab now offers Claude Opus 4.6, Anthropic's most intelligent model combining maximum capability with practical performance, directly in the GitLab Duo Agent Platform model selector.
Users have the flexibility to choose Claude Opus 4.6 alongside other leading models in GitLab Duo Agent Platform, enhancing their agentic development experience with frontier intelligence for the most challenging…
Managing software development often means juggling multiple tools: tracking issues in Jira, writing code in your IDE, and collaborating through GitLab. Context switching between these platforms disrupts focus and slows down delivery.
With GitLab Duo Agent Platform's MCP support, you can now connect Jira or any tool that supports MCP directly to your AI-powered development environment. Query…
AI-assisted coding tools are helping developers generate code faster than ever. So why aren’t teams _shipping_ faster?
Because coding is only 20% of the software delivery lifecycle, the remaining 80% becomes the bottleneck: code review backlogs grow, security scanning can’t keep pace, documentation falls behind, and manual coordination overhead increases.
The good news is that the same AI…
At GitLab, we know that many organizations choose GitLab Self-Managed for the control, customization, and security it provides. However, managing underlying infrastructure can be a significant operational challenge — especially for teams who want to focus on delivering software, not maintaining platforms.
That's why we're excited to work with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and Data Intensity,…
Anthropic recently announced Claude Code Security, an AI system that detects vulnerabilities and proposes fixes. The market reacted immediately, with security stocks dipping as investors questioned whether AI might replace traditional AppSec tools. The question on everyone's mind: If AI can write code and secure it, is application security about to become obsolete?
If security only meant…
GitLab now backs its 99.9% availability commitment with service credits for Ultimate customers on GitLab.com and GitLab Dedicated. When monthly availability falls below this threshold, eligible customers receive credits toward future invoices. This commitment ensures your DevSecOps workflows have the reliability they need.
Modern software delivery operates at a velocity…
Container vulnerabilities don't wait for your next deployment. They can emerge at any point, including when you build an image or while containers run in production. GitLab addresses this reality with multiple container scanning approaches, each designed for different stages of your container lifecycle.
In this guide, we'll explore the different types of container scanning GitLab offers, how to…
GitLab uses a GNU Privacy Guard (GPG) key to sign all Omnibus packages created within the CI pipelines to ensure that the packages have not been tampered with. This key is separate from the repository metadata signing key used by package managers and the GPG signing key for the GitLab Runner. The Omnibus package signing key, which was set to expire on Feb. 14, 2026, has been extended to expire on…
We’re sharing intelligence on threat actors associated with North Korean Contagious Interview and IT worker campaigns to raise awareness of emerging trends in operations and tradecraft. We hope this analysis helps the broader security community defend against evolving threats and address the industry-wide challenge of threat actors using legitimate platforms and tools for their operations.…
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to deploy an AI agent built with Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK) to Agent Engine using GitLab's native Google Cloud integration and CI/CD pipelines. We'll cover IAM configuration, pipeline setup, and testing your deployed agent.
Agent Engine is Google Cloud's managed runtime specifically designed for AI…
Today, we are excited to announce the release of GitLab 18.10 with SAST false positive detection with GitLab Duo Agent Platform, credits for free tier users, passwordless sign-in with passkeys, work items list and saved views, and much more!
These are just a few highlights from the 60+ improvements in this release. Read on to check out all of the great updates below.
To the wider GitLab…
Modern software development teams face a critical challenge: How do you maintain velocity while ensuring code quality, security, and consistency across complex projects?
While AI coding assistants have accelerated individual developer productivity, they often operate in isolation from the broader development workflow. This disconnect forces developers to context-switch between tools, manually…
Platform and DevOps engineers spend too much time piecing together visibility across fragmented tools and managing infrastructure that should just work.
Two new GitLab features currently in beta tackle this from different angles but share the same goal: giving practitioners direct control over the CI/CD infrastructure they depend on, without adding another third-party tool. One surfaces…
Security teams and developers face the same frustration: thousands of vulnerabilities demanding attention, without the insights to help them prioritize remediation. Where is risk concentrated and how fast is it being remediated? Where will remediation efforts have the greatest impact? The updated GitLab Security Dashboard helps answer these questions with trend tracking, vulnerability age…
