GitLab product update

1. Fun fact
On Nov 22nd, we are 222 weeks
away from Tuesday 2022/2/22
We should probably release GitLab 22 by then (although that'd
mean we won't have more than 4 minor release before a new
major)

6. EE Premium

7. EE Premium
• Currently our best and most important product
• Has a massive impact on our average selling price
• Challenge: EE Starter is cheap at $39/u/y (vs. $199/u/y)
• i.e. Premium has to be worth 5x (!!!) more than EES
• And infinitely more than CE.

8. EE Premium
• More control: Audit logs, audit user, Group sync filters, Commit
restrictions
• More scale: Postgres HA, Object storage for LFS and artifacts,
File Locking, Deploy boards, Canary environments, Multi-project
pipelines
• More integrated with JIRA
• Geo! (GA expected 10.2/10.3)

9. EE Premium
• We're prioritizing EEP heavily
• Much of the 2018 vision will be exclusive to EEP (or EEU)
• Geo (this year) Disaster Recovery (Q1 next year) add a lot of
value
• Working together with William Chia to message value better
