More information on GitLab can be found here.

Capabilities, Benefits, and Key Features

  • Open DevOps platform delivered as a single application—one interface, one conversation thread, one datastore
  • Industry-leading CI/CD empowers all teams to work together efficiently
  • Powerful, scalable, end-to-end automation is possible with GitLab
  • Built-in everything brings automated security, code quality, and vulnerability management

Limitations / Technology Requirements

There are several different ways to download GitLab based on OS, so students/instructors will need to determine which method of download works for their device.

What can I expect?

  • Support Tier: Tier 3 - Divisional/Departmental Support: Miami IT resources exist to support the faculty within their respective academic divisions. In most cases, individual users who contact IT Help receive best effort support. If unsuccesful, they would refer the use to contact the instructor of their course. Instructors seeking support for unresolved issues would be escalated to their divisional IT team.

  • Acquisition Model: Direct Download: Software is downloaded to a local computer and installed to run from that specific device.

  • Licensing Model: Registered User License: The license is included with online registration.

  • Authentication Model: Independent Registration: The user is required to create an account individually with the application vendor.

Who may use it?

4000 CEC students may use the service annually.
