Manager of France's .fr domain selects GitLab for its DevSecOps capabilities

The Association Française pour le Nommage Internet en Coopération (Afnic), a French nonprofit responsible for managing .fr domain names, has embraced GitLab as a fundamental part of its modernization efforts to ensure reliability and security in its software development processes. Afnic, which has been managing the .fr country code top-level domain for two decades, aims to create a secure and innovative Internet environment by integrating GitLab to automate and streamline its Shared Registry System (SRS) operations. This transition to a DevSecOps approach involves using modern technologies like Kubernetes, Angular, and Docker, and moving away from older tools such as Java and Perl, supported by private cloud infrastructure across its data centers worldwide. GitLab, alongside tools like Jira and Ansible, has improved compliance, monitoring, and onboarding processes, enabling developers to focus on strategic tasks rather than manual updates. The integration of GitLab with other tools has led to significant cost savings, time efficiency, and community-driven feature enhancements, positioning Afnic to continue leveraging GitLab for future projects while maintaining its commitment to reliability and innovation in the digital space.
