When IT folks learn new tech, they tend to isolate each new tool from the many other tools available within the IT world. If they’re learning GitLab, for example, they only teach themselves how to use GitLab — which makes sense. But GitLab — or any other DevOps tool — isn’t siloed from the multitude of other DevOps tools. GitLab is one of many tools you can use to automate various development and operations tasks.

As you become more advanced, you realize DevOps tools like GitLab should be used with other tools in order to speed up workflows and make them more efficient. And that’s what this course will teach you how to do: use GitLab in real-world scenarios that may require you to leverage other tools in conjunction with GitLab.

Whether you are responsible for managing your organization's GitLab training program or seeking to onboard DevOps administrators, this training can be incorporated into individual or team training plans, serving as an invaluable reference resource.
