Decision Kit
AWS Codestar
‘AWS CodeStar helps you develop, build, and deploy applications on AWS by providing a pre-configured continuous delivery toolchain. Built-in security policies for various roles secure code access while the project dashboard centrally monitors application activity. Integration with Atlassian JIRA is required to create and manage JIRA issues in the AWS CodeStar dashboard. GitLab is a complete DevOps platform, delivered as a single application, providing CI/CD plus issue tracking for any SLDC, including those built on AWS.’
Feature Comparison
| FEATURES |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
Free CI/CD with GitLab hosted or self-managed Runners
GitLab.com hosted runners allow you to use GitLab CI/CD completely free up to 400 build minutes for private projects and 50,000 minutes for public projects. Use your own runner for unlimited build minutes or special build environment requirements. |
|
|
|
Application performance monitoring
GitLab collects and displays performance metrics for deployed apps, leveraging Prometheus. Developers can determine the impact of a merge and keep an eye on their production systems, without leaving GitLab. |
|
|
|
Application performance alerts
GitLab allows engineers to seamlessly create service level indicator alerts and be notified of any desired events, all within the same workflow where they write their code. |
|
|
|
Preview your changes with Review Apps
With GitLab CI/CD you can create a new environment for each one of your branches, speeding up your development process. Spin up dynamic environments for your merge requests with the ability to preview your branch in a live environment. Review Apps support both static and dynamic URLs. |
|
|
|
Built for using containers and Docker
GitLab ships with its own Container Registry, Docker CI Runner, and is ready for a complete CI/CD container workflow. There is no need to install, configure, or maintain additional plugins. |
|
|
|
Comprehensive pipeline graphs
Pipelines can be complex structures with many sequential and parallel jobs. To make it a little easier to see what is going on, you can view a graph of a single pipeline and its status. |
|
|
|
Scheduled triggering of pipelines
You can make your pipelines run on a schedule in a cron-like environment. |
|
|
|
Multi-project pipeline graphs
With multi-project pipeline graphs you can see how upstream and downstream pipelines are linked together for projects that are linked to others via triggers as part of a more complex design, as it is for micro-services architecture. |
|
|
|
Run CI/CD jobs on Windows
GitLab Runner supports Windows and can run jobs natively on this platform. You can automatically build, test, and deploy Windows-based projects by leveraging PowerShell or batch files. |
|
|
|
Run CI/CD jobs on macOS
GitLab Runner supports macOS and can run jobs natively on this platform. You can automatically build, test, and deploy for macOS based projects by leveraging shell scripts and command line tools. |
|
|
|
Easy integration of existing Kubernetes clusters
Add your existing Kubernetes cluster to your project, and easily access it from your CI/CD pipelines to host Review Apps and to deploy your application. |
|
|
|
GitLab Kubernetes Agent
Manage the deployments and connection to your Kubernetes clusters in a secure and compliant way, driven by code. |
|
|
|
View Kubernetes pod logs
The monitoring of servers, application, network and security devices via generated log files to identify errors and problems for analysis. GitLab makes it easy to view the logs of running pods in connected Kubernetes clusters. By displaying the logs directly in GitLab, developers can avoid having to manage console tools or jump to a different interface. |
|
|
|
Windows Container Executor
With this feature you are able to use Docker containers on Windows directly, in much the same was as if they were on Linux hosts. This enables more advanced kinds of pipeline orchestration and management for users of Microsoft platforms. |
|
|
|
Comments in Review Apps
Review Apps let a developer share their work in progress with their team or a broader audience quickly as they implement a change and request feedback. Being able to leave comments on the Merge Request from the Review app shortens the feedback cycle and creates a single source of truth to track change requests. This feature enables designers, Product Managers, and other stakeholders to comment on the changes to the look and feel / user experience of a change just as easily and quickly as developers working in the MR. |
