Gitlab 13.0 kickoff - Release:Progressive Delivery

Planning: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/progressive_delivery/-/issues/1

A

Hi, my name is Erica Lewinsky and I'm, the product manager for the progressive delivery group under the release stage here at get Lab today, I want to walk through a few of the features that we're going to be working on in the next release: 13 Bell, so the first feature that I want to go through is apply feature flag lists as a strategy.

A

So what this does is in the previous milestone works on a feature that allows you to create user lists and the way you create user lists is you have a new list and you add all the user IDs that you want to apply a feature flag for this new feature coming in in 13. 0 will allow you to apply this as a strategy, so the list that you previous created can now be reused and applied for a different feature: flagging for different environments.

A

So the way that it looks just like this, you can select the list. You can select the group name.

A

You have a job down for all the different lists that you created in order to apply them and and at the bottom of the page, you can set the environments that this will be applied to it so really excited for the exciting feature. We know this is going to be much more convenient than copying. These are ideas one by one and copying them between different feature flags and for different environments. This way, you can maintain things your ID list in one place and later apply it out of the strategy.

A

So this is with a lot of flexibility in mind and making working with feature Flags just so much easier. The next feature that I want to talk about is out of the pipe to ECS, and this is a great effort that we're doing in order to make deployment to cloud and specifically to AWS much easier. So in twelve nine we released a template full gitlab CI, a molten template that does deployment EECS, and what we want to do now is connect it to the auto DevOps flow.

A

So if you have the following CI CD variables configure, so we have AWS access, key ID account, ID and AWS region.

A

If you have those set up- and you have all of them, UPS enabled it will just automatically connect everything for you and deploy CCS, so really really excited about the fact that we're opening up Auto DevOps for additional use cases not only kubernetes but also now the point to get to acs and we plan to build on top of that even more in the future, so big push to the team and and something that we're really looking forward working on and getting your feedback.

A

The final feature that I want to discuss is also feature flag related and that this is adding the ability of you associate feature flags with contextual issues. So what this feature does? Is it kind of connects issues and feature flags together, which is really neat and the way that it works? Is we're gonna? Have this really cool UI new UI, where you have the regular feature flag with that new configure and add the description too?

A

And now we have this new ID on this new table called related issues and underneath it will have all the issues that are associated to this feature flag. So you will be able to see from the future flag level exactly which issues are connected behind the future flag and also the vice versa. So, on the issue itself, so you can see we have here an example issue and related issues is already something that exists today and really a.m.

A

ours as well, and now there's an additional related feature flags section that will be added to the issue itself so either than the issue. You can see the feature flags that are associated to this specific issue. So so it goes both ways. You can see the feature Flags on the issue itself and the issue that are related to the feature flag. So any way you look, you can see the context.

A

That's all for, for this upcoming release very excited to be working on these features and hearing more feedback from you and I will see you next time.
