The Fragmentation Headache
In the world of modern software delivery, efficiency is constantly battling complexity. Many teams struggle with a “tool sprawl”—a fragmented pipeline where separate tools handle source code management, continuous integration, security scanning, and deployment. This fragmentation slows teams down, creates security gaps, and costs a fortune in licenses and integration overhead.
The solution? A single, unified DevOps platform that does it all. Enter GitLab.
GitLab has evolved far beyond simple Git repositories; it is now an end-to-end powerhouse that covers the entire DevSecOps lifecycle, from planning to monitoring. To truly leverage this platform, you need specialized, comprehensive training.
The Master in GitLab Training course by DevOpsSchool is meticulously designed to transform you from a basic user into a GitLab CI/CD workflow expert, ensuring you can implement a unified, secure, and automated delivery pipeline.
About the Master in GitLab Training Course
This is an advanced, hands-on program focused entirely on unlocking the full potential of GitLab. Delivered in 12 to 15 hours of Live Instructor-led training, the curriculum is structured to cover the Essential, Intermediate, and Advanced aspects of the platform.
The course moves beyond surface-level tutorials, diving deep into critical concepts that drive enterprise efficiency:
- Advanced CI/CD Configuration: Mastering the
.gitlab-ci.ymlfile, runners, and complex multi-project pipeline graphs. - GitLab Flow Implementation: Adopting best-practice branching and collaboration strategies for seamless software development.
- Built-in DevSecOps: Utilizing GitLab’s integrated features for scanning, vulnerability detection, and managing approvals for secure code.
- Integrated Workflow Tools: Leveraging Issues, Issue Boards, Milestones, and Merge Requests to manage the entire project lifecycle within a single dashboard.
Our training is completely hands-on oriented, ensuring that you don’t just learn about GitLab, but learn how to build and manage solutions with it.
Feature Comparison: DevOpsSchool GitLab Training vs. Self-Study
| Feature | DevOpsSchool Master in GitLab Training | Self-Study (Documentation/Tutorials) |
| Scope & Depth | Essential, Intermediate, & Advanced topics covered in a unified path. | Often fragmented, lacking real-world context for advanced features. |
| Instructor-Led | 12–15 Hrs of Live, Interactive training. | Self-paced, no immediate feedback or query resolution from an expert. |
| Real-World Focus | Emphasis on GitLab Flow, advanced use cases, and pipeline optimization. | Focuses on basic syntax and simple setups; weak on enterprise strategies. |
| Support & Resources | Lifetime LMS Access, Training Notes, and Interview Kits. | Limited to publicly available, potentially outdated documentation. |
