Auto Deploy a GitLab.com project to Google Cloud

GitLab's auto deploy feature simplifies the process of deploying applications by integrating deployment into the CI/CD pipeline within the GitLab interface, automatically deploying applications whenever new commits are made to the master branch. This feature packages applications into Docker images, which are then deployed to a Kubernetes cluster, with GitLab's container registry storing the images. Setting up auto deploy involves configuring the GitLab project with valid credentials to access the Kubernetes cluster, which can be easily created using Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) due to its user-friendly interface, free tier, and the maturity of Google's service. The author shares their experience of setting up a Ruby application to be automatically built and deployed to staging, with the option for manual production deployment, providing a quick start guide for newcomers to Kubernetes who want to explore GitLab's auto deploy capabilities.
