The GitLab CI\/CD Associate certification preparation course is aimed at professionals who want to structure their knowledge of GitLab CI\/CD and strengthen their mastery of the essential concepts related to software delivery automation. It allows you to review the foundations needed to evolve confidently in the GitLab environment while adopting a certification-oriented review approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Targeted preparation to review key concepts and strengthen your mastery of GitLab CI\/CD<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This course can be taken after GitLab CI\/CD \u2013 Fundamentals and\/or GitLab CI\/CD \u2013 Advanced, or as a consolidation module for participants who already have some hands-on GitLab experience. It revisits the essential concepts related to GitLab projects, pipelines, runners, variables, artifacts, validation workflows and best practices for automation in GitLab.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","editeurs":[4095],"domaine":[4339,1262,4110],"class_list":["post-235818","formations","type-formations","status-publish","hentry","editeurs-gitlab","domaine-cicd-versioning-delivery-en","domaine-development","domaine-devops-development-en"],"acf":{"reference":"GLB-10","duree_nombre":3,"duree_unite":"jour","prix_virtuel":1500,"prix_presentiel":1600,"prix_blended":"","prix_elearning":"","views":123,"niveau":["Interm\u00e9diaire"],"role":"","certifiant":["Certifiant"],"pdus":"","lieux":["Gen\u00e8ve","Lausanne"],"formats_dapprentissage":["presentiel","virtuel"],"examen_inclus":"Certifiant","garanti":"","financement":["Temptraining"],"description_temptraining":"","description_caf":"","description_title":"GitLab CI\/CD Associate Certification Preparation Training","objectifs":" GitLab stands out from other CI\/CD platforms through its all-in-one approach. Unlike Jenkins, which requires installing and maintaining numerous plugins, or GitHub Actions, which remains limited to the GitHub ecosystem, GitLab offers an integrated solution covering the entire DevOps cycle: from planning to monitoring, including versioning, CI\/CD, security, and deployment.<\/p>\n In Switzerland, GitLab adoption is experiencing significant growth, particularly in the banking, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors. Organizations appreciate the ability to host GitLab on-premise (self-managed), ensuring data sovereignty - an essential criterion for organizations subject to strict regulations.<\/p>\n The choice between these three solutions depends on your context. Jenkins remains relevant for legacy environments with highly customized pipelines, but its maintenance cost is high. GitHub Actions excels for open-source projects and small teams already on GitHub. GitLab CI\/CD emerges as the optimal choice for organizations seeking a complete DevOps platform with full control over their infrastructure.<\/p>\n The DevSecOps approach consists of integrating security controls directly into the CI\/CD pipeline, rather than relegating them to the end of the cycle. GitLab natively integrates SAST, DAST, secret detection, and dependency scanning tools. This automation enables detecting vulnerabilities as early as possible, considerably reducing remediation costs.<\/p>\n GitLab offers several professional certifications, including the GitLab Certified CI\/CD Specialist and the GitLab Certified Security Specialist. These certifications validate your skills to employers and strengthen your DevOps profile. While this training is not certifying, it covers all the knowledge required to prepare for these exams independently.<\/p>\n Do I need to know Docker before taking this GitLab CI\/CD training?<\/strong><\/p>\n Basic Docker concepts are helpful but not mandatory. Module 3 introduces the necessary containerization concepts.<\/p>\n Does this training cover GitLab self-managed and GitLab SaaS?<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes, the concepts and practices taught apply to both deployment modes. The specifics of each environment (Runner administration, network configuration) are covered in the relevant modules.<\/p>\n What is the difference between GitFlow and GitLab Flow?<\/strong><\/p>\n GitFlow uses dedicated branches (develop, release, hotfix) with a structured workflow, ideal for planned releases. GitLab Flow simplifies this model by relying on merge requests and deployment environments. Module 1 compares both approaches in detail to help you choose the right strategy for your project.<\/p>\n Do the labs require a paid GitLab account?<\/strong><\/p>\n No, all exercises can be completed with a free GitLab account. Premium and Ultimate features used in enterprise are presented theoretically and demonstrated by the instructor.<\/p>\n Does this training prepare for a GitLab certification?<\/strong><\/p>\n This training is not certifying, but it covers the fundamental skills required for the GitLab CI\/CD Specialist and Security Specialist certifications. You will have a solid foundation to prepare for these exams after the training.<\/p>","inclus_dans_ce_cours_virtuel":"\n\t
