Everyone Can Get Certified!

At GitLab we believe in an inclusive approach for thriving as team members and contributing as part of the wider community. That’s why we are excited to highlight our GitLab Learn learning platform, which is newly available to the GitLab wider community.

Now anyone can learn, and anyone can get certified! To get started visit GitLab Learn and create an account.

Free Certification Pathways

On GitLab Learn you’ll find learning paths and certifications that we make available to GitLab team members as well as the wider GitLab community.

Here are some of the free certification and badge pathways you’re welcome to complete on the site, created by the GitLab Learning & Development Team:

  • GitLab 101 and GitLab 201 certifications
  • Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging Training certification
  • Remote Work Foundations badge
  • Bias Towards Asynchronous Communication badge

GitLab Technical Certification Pathways

Over the past 12 months GitLab launched 6 new technical certifications, making them available to GitLab Professional Services customers who purchased live instructor-led training for their teams. We were also able to make the assessments available to GitLab Commit 2020 attendees. As a result of our latest iteration efforts we are beginning to roll out self-service, asynchronous versions to make them available for everyone on GitLab Learn!

New Async Technical Certification Option

We’re now bundling together the three main components you need to earn the GitLab Certified Associate certification asynchronously: A self-study eLearning preparation course, a certification knowledge exam, and a graded hands-on exam you complete in the GitLab Training Cloud. This bundle is available on GitLab Learn and is priced at USD $650.

Free through April 30, 2021!

For a limited time, use the discount code E6B8A234458AE3D795 to apply a 100% discount off the $650 bundle! This offer is available to anyone who enrolls in the bundle on GitLab Learn using the code by April 30, 2021.

Efficient DevSecOps workflows: Hands-on python-gitlab API automation

Image
A friend once said in a conference presentation, “Manual work is a bug." When there are repetitive tasks in workflows, I tend to come back to this quote , and try to automate as much as possible. For example, by querying a REST API to do an inventory of settings, or calling API actions to create new comments in GitLab issues/merge requests. The interaction with the GitLab REST API can be done in different ways, using HTTP requests with curl (or hurl ) on the command line, or by writing a script in a programming language. The latter can become reinventing the wheel again with raw HTTP requests code, and parsing the JSON responses. Thanks to the wider GitLab community, many different languages are supported by API abstraction libraries. They provide support for all API attributes, add helper functions to get/create/delete objects, and generally aim to help developers focus. The python-gitlab library is a feature-rich and easy-to-use library written in Python. In this blog post, y...

Secure GitLab CI/CD workflows using OIDC JWT on a DevSecOps platform

Image
Securing CI/CD workflows can be challenging. This blog post walks you through the problem validation, explores the JWT token technology and how it can be used with OIDC authentication, and discusses implementation challenges with authorization realms. You will learn about the current possibilities and future plans with GitLab 16.0. Variables vs. secrets Variables are an efficient way to control and inject parameters into your jobs and pipelines, making managing and configuring the CI/CD workflows easier. You can read more about how to use CI/CD variables . An extra layer of security on top of variables to mask and protect, for now, is our “best-effort” to prevent sensitive variables from being accidentally revealed. However, variables are not a drop-in replacement for secrets. Securing secrets natively is a solution that GitLab aspires to provide. Meanwhile, we recommend storing sensitive information in a dedicated secrets management solution. As a company, we will provide you abili...
