Reseña del libro "MASTERING GitLab CI/CD (en Inglés)"
MASTERING GitLab CI/CDA Practical, End-to-End Guide to Modern DevOps PipelinesMaster GitLab CI/CD and learn how to design, build, secure, optimize, and scale modern DevOps pipelines from the ground up.MASTERING GitLab CI/CD is a practical, end-to-end guide for developers, QA engineers, DevOps engineers, SREs, platform engineers, and anyone who wants to build reliable and production-ready CI/CD pipelines with GitLab.Starting with the fundamentals, this book takes you step by step from understanding DevOps and GitLab to creating your first .gitlab-ci.yml pipeline—and then progresses into the advanced concepts required to operate CI/CD at scale.Inside the Book, You Will Learn:GitLab CI/CD fundamentals, projects, repositories, namespaces, permissions, pipelines, stages, and jobsHow .gitlab-ci.yml works and how the complete pipeline lifecycle operatesGitLab Runner architecture, executors, tags, concurrency, autoscaling, and securityCI/CD variables, secrets, credentials, and practical variable-management strategiesArtifacts, caching, dependencies, and techniques for improving pipeline performanceAdvanced rules and workflow: rules for controlling when pipelines and jobs executeDocker in CI/CD, Docker-in-Docker, image tagging, multi-stage builds, and the GitLab Container RegistryAutomated testing, parallel test execution, integration testing, coverage, quality gates, and flaky-test handlingParent-child pipelines, multi-project pipelines, dynamic pipelines, and pipeline orchestrationReusable CI/CD configuration using include, extends, YAML techniques, templates, and the CI/CD CatalogGitLab environments and deployment strategies including rolling, blue-green, and canary deploymentsKubernetes deployments using the GitLab Agent and HelmDynamic Review Apps for faster development and code reviewsRollbacks, database migration considerations, feature flags, and progressive releasesDevSecOps practices including SAST, DAST, dependency scanning, and container scanningCompliance, approval rules, separation of duties, audit events, and creating evidence for auditorsPipeline analytics, troubleshooting, observability, and systematic performance optimizationScaling GitLab Runner infrastructure and Kubernetes-based CI/CD environmentsMigrating CI/CD workflows from Jenkins and GitHub Actions to GitLabDesigning efficient CI/CD pipelines for monorepos and multi-service applicationsGitLab Auto DevOps and the practical differences between automated and hand-written pipelinesAI-assisted pipeline configuration and troubleshooting failed jobsCI/CD governance, runner capacity management, and cost optimizationFrom Your First Pipeline to Production-Scale DevOpsThis book doesn't stop at basic pipeline syntax. You will learn how individual GitLab CI/CD features fit together to create fast, secure, maintainable, scalable, and reliable software delivery systems.A practical multi-service case study demonstrates how these concepts can be applied to a realistic system, including path-based change detection, service-specific pipeline design, security, compliance, and reusable CI/CD patterns.You'll also get dedicated reference material covering GitLab CI/CD keywords, job execution, dependencies, conditional execution, artifacts, resilience, parallelization, environments, reuse, Kubernetes, secrets, GitLab Runner commands, predefined variables, pipeline triggers, and REST API operations.
