Companies digitally transforming themselves into modern, software-defined businesses are building their foundation on cloud native solutions like GitLab and Hashicorp. Together, GitLab, Terraform, and Vault are empowering organizations to be more iterative, flexible, and secure. Join us in this session to learn more about how GitLab and Hashicorp are lowering the barrier of entry into industrializing the application development and delivery process across the entire application lifecycle.

4. GitLab
A complete DevOps platform delivered as a single application
Idea to Production faster.
Single UI for developers, engineers, and practitioners alike to collaborate
and iterate together. Reduce friction and cycle time to roll out ideas into
production faster.

9. Automation Workflow
Management with GitOps

10. Bridge the gap between Dev, Sec, Ops.
Securly automate app delivery and cloud operations via declarative code.
Infrastructure as Code
(IaC)
Declare cloud operations,
collaborate in GitLab, and
operationalize with Terraform.
Git triggered workflows
(GitOps)
Trigger pre-defined
automation workflows on
every change with
transparency and visibility.
End to end Security
Protect source code, secrets,
and add guard rails for
operational consistency.

11. Guiding Principle: GitOps = IaC + MR
● GitLab’s source code management
enables modularization, code
review, code commit, and code
testing.
● Merge Request workflows unlock
concurrent development between
Dev and Ops.
● Git triggered approval workflows
provide consistency and oversight.

12. Guiding Principle: Infrastructure as Code
● Using version control and automation to reduce
human error and failed builds.
● Terraform infrastructure as code and policy as
code to automate everything.
● Open source providers allow rapid creation and
support for any infrastructure
● GitLab’s Terraform integrations improves UX.
