Jenkins ⇒ GitLab Migration Workshop

Date: October 21, 2021
Time: 9:30 AM - 12:00 PM SGT / 12:30 PM - 3:00 PM AEDT

The world of software development and CI/CD is much different than it was over 15 years ago when Jenkins was originally created. I’d bet that some of your freestyle jobs and pipelines in Jenkins would agree if they could speak.

That means there’s no better time than now to start modernizing and improving your workflow with GitLab. Regardless of where you are on your journey or how complex your pipelines may be, start taking steps in the right direction by learning how to migrate your pipelines over with lab exercises, best practices, tips, and tricks from subject matter experts.

  • Learn best practices and get migration guidance from experts
  • Learn by doing. Get hands-on to practice converting both freestyle jobs and Jenkinsfiles in Jenkins into GitLab’s .gitlab-ci.yml format
  • Walk away with a better understanding of how to successfully transform your Jenkins pipelines

Note: This class is for experienced CI users that want to learn advanced GitLab features
