GitLab 14 aims to do away with DIY DevOps toolchains

GitLab is moving forward to the next evolution of DevOps in the release of GitLab 14. According to the company, many DevOps teams use so-called “DIY DevOps” toolchains that are built with parts not designed to work together, leading to silos, lack of visibility, and maintenance challenges. 

This latest iteration of the GitLab platform aims to eliminate this notion and provide companies with advanced DevOps capabilities that allow developers to build software with velocity, trust, and visibility. 

One new feature in GitLab 14 is Epic Boards, which allow teams to continuously communicate the status of epics, and visualize and refine them in one place using a drag-and-drop interface. 

GitLab 14 also features a built-in Terraform module registry, which can be used to discover Terraform modules or publish them through GitLab CI/CD. 

This release also streamlined the top menu so that developers can get to what they need in fewer clicks. It consolidates functionality from previous Projects, Groups, and More menus; gives easy access to projects, groups, and instance-level features; and has responsive views for improving navigation on different screen sizes. 

Another UI redesign in GitLab 14 is of the sidebar. According to the company, as more and more features have been added to GitLab, the left sidebar has become more packed and less intuitive. It has now been reorganized to improve usability, consistency, and discoverability. Certain features have been moved, the Operations menu has been split into three distinct menus, visual contrast has been improved, and spacing has been optimized to better fit menu items on smaller screens. “These changes are intended to better match your mental model of the DevOps lifecycle, and provide a more predictable and consistent experience while navigating within your projects and groups,” Darren Eastman, senior product manager at GitLab, wrote in a post.

Other new features in GitLab 14 include: 

  • Support for the complete merge request review process for VS Code
  • The ability to edit wiki pages with the WYSIWYG Markdown editor
  • Aggregation capabilities for identical DAST vulnerabilities
  • Cluster management project template
  • Templates that can be used to populate the CI/CD pipeline editor
  • Container scanning integration with Trivy
  • Lead time for merge requests at the group level

A full list of new features is available in the release notes.

2022: The year of hybrid work

Remote work was once considered a luxury to many, but in 2020, it became a necessity for a large portion of the workforce, as the scary and unknown COVID-19 virus sickened and even took the lives of so many people around the world.  Some workers were able to thrive in a remote setting, while others felt isolated and struggled to keep up a balance between their work and home lives. Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are dec...
