From idea to production on thousands of clouds

Deploying applications with GitLab has become streamlined, enabling developers to create a Kubernetes cluster on any cloud platform, connect it via GitLab's Kubernetes integration, and leverage Auto DevOps for a full deployment pipeline. However, the challenge arises when applications need to be run across multiple clusters in varied environments, including private data centers and air-gapped servers. Gravitational's open-source tool, Gravity, addresses this by allowing developers to create "cluster images," which are comprehensive, portable Kubernetes environments that can be deployed anywhere, maintaining consistency and compliance. Gravity uses standard CNCF-supported tools to bundle entire Kubernetes clusters with their applications and dependencies into .tar files, facilitating easy replication of environments across different infrastructures. GitLab serves as a central repository for application development, using its CI/CD capabilities for continuous delivery, while Gravity enables scaling across diverse environments, ensuring applications can be deployed consistently in both cloud and on-premises settings. Gravitational's approach simplifies deployment complexity, allowing for seamless application distribution, with GitLab and Gravity working in tandem to provide robust solutions for developers facing multi-cloud and on-premises deployment challenges.
