Ten clusters across multiple cloud providers? A hundred clusters and also on a fleet of self-driving trucks?\n\nAt [Gravitational](https://gravitational.com), we believe the future should not belong to a single cloud provider and developers should be able to run their applications anywhere with the same simplicity as having a single Kubernetes cluster.\n\nI am a huge fan of GitLab. I’ve had the great pleasure of getting to know much of the founding team [over the years](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/gitlab-joins-forces-with-gravitational/) and was happy to provide my [own contribution](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/issues/22864) to the community a while back. Today, I’m happy to share some thoughts on how to build with GitLab and deploy applications into dozens or even hundreds of cloud environments. \n\n## The rise of multicloud\n\nHow do you run applications in different data centers? Do you need to rewrite them from scratch? AWS may still be the dominant cloud provider, but cloud competitors are eating into their lead. It’s not just the big public cloud companies either. [Private cloud data centers](https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonbloomberg/2019/02/02/have-private-clouds-finally-found-their-place-in-the-enterprise/#2f859685604f) are growing just as rapidly.\n\nMany companies that need to meet tough security and compliance requirements will require applications to run in their bare metal data centers. Running an application on an on-premises or even air-gapped data center adds additional complexity due to the hundreds or even thousands of dependencies in modern applications.\n\nGravitational has built Gravity, an open source [Kubernetes packaging solution ](https://gravitational.com/gravity/)that allows developers to build “cluster images” (similar to VM images) that can contain an entire Kubernetes cluster pre-loaded with multiple applications. You would use GitLab to go from idea to production, and Gravity to expand your production to anywhere in the world. \n\nStatements like, “I have snapshotted our entire production environment and emailed it to you, so you can run it in your private data center,” will not seem completely crazy.\n\nGravity uses standard, upstream CNCF-supported tooling for creating \"images\" of Kubernetes clusters containing the applications and their dependencies. The resulting files are called cluster images which are just .tar files.\n\nA cluster image can be used to recreate full replicas of the original environments for any deployment environment where compliance and consistency matter, i.e. in locked-down AWS/GCP/Azure environments or even in air-gapped server rooms. Each image includes all dependencies to spin up a full cluster, as well as the Gravity daemon that handles the most common operational tasks associated with Kubernetes applications, and it monitors and alerts human operators of problems.\n\n## Deploy with GitLab, scale with Gravity\n\n![Gravity dashboard](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/gravity-dashboard.png)\n\nDevelopers can leverage a GitLab repository as a single source of truth for rolling out a Kubernetes app and leverage [GitLab CI/CD](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/) for continuous delivery.\n\nAny project of meaningful scale begins by defining an [epic](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/group/epics/) with goals, milestones, and tasks. An [issue](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/issues/#issues) is the main object for collaborating on ideas and planning work. GitLab’s [package and container registry](https://about.gitlab.com/stages-devops-lifecycle/package/) helps you manage and package dependencies. \n\n[The GitLab Kubernetes integration](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/clusters/) allows customers to create Kubernetes clusters, utilize review apps, run pipelines, use web terminals, deploy apps, view pod logs, detect and monitor Kubernetes, and much more. For deploying a Kubernetes cluster in a single destination, GitLab provides everything you need from start to finish. \n\nHowever, if your customers need to run your application in their private data centers, they can use Gravity, which essentially copy/pastes the entire Kubernetes cluster environment you’ve built in GitLab. \n\n[Download](https://gravitational.com/gravity/download/) and set up the Gravity open source edition following our [quickstart guide](https://gravitational.com/gravity/docs/quickstart/). From Gravity, you can build a cluster image of your Kubernetes application. Gravity’s [documentation](https://gravitational.com/gravity/docs/overview/) will walk you through the steps required to build an image manifest that describes the image build, the installation process, and the system requirements for the cluster. \n\nYou can build empty Kubernetes cluster images to quickly create a large number of identical, production-ready Kubernetes clusters within an organization, or you can build a cluster image that also includes Kubernetes applications to distribute your application to third parties. \n\n## Next steps\n\nIf you want to learn more about working with Kubernetes, start with [Kubernetes 101](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rq4GZ_GybN8). You’ll learn how GitLab and Kubernetes interact at various touchpoints. And, if you’re looking for a way to port your applications to new environments, check out [Gravity](https://gravitational.com/gravity). \n\n## About the guest author\n\nEv is a co-founder and the CEO of Gravitational.

Sijbrandij","https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1749665388/Blog/Hero%20Images/Revised2.png","2024-12-05","__This message from Sid Sijbrandij and Bill Staples was shared with GitLab team members earlier today.__ \n\n__Sid:__ On today’s earnings call, I announced that I am stepping down as CEO and will remain Executive Chair of the Board. I also introduced GitLab’s new CEO, [Bill Staples](https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamstaples/). \n\nAs a Board, we routinely do succession planning. This includes conversations with a number of top executives. We’ve been having these conversations in greater earnest since my cancer returned. Through these discussions, we identified someone uniquely qualified to lead GitLab. I want more time to focus on my cancer treatment and health. My treatments are going well, my cancer is not metastatic, and I'm working towards making a full recovery. Stepping down from a role that I love is not easy, but I believe that it is the right decision for GitLab.\n\nI couldn't be more excited to introduce you to Bill Staples, who will be leading GitLab into its next chapter. Bill will be GitLab’s CEO, effective today. He will also join the GitLab Board as a Director. Bill was most recently a public company CEO at New Relic. During his time there, he significantly increased the value of the company by accelerating revenue and driving increased profitability. He also brings decades of experience in leadership roles at Adobe and Microsoft. When I began speaking with Bill, I was immediately drawn to his customer-centric approach and deep product expertise. As I got to know him further, I knew that his shared value system made him the right person for this role, for our team members, for our customers, and for our shareholders. I feel fortunate that GitLab has found someone with a great leadership track record and strong DevOps expertise to lead GitLab into the future.\n\nWe have come so far from the early days when we launched GitLab.com. We have created the DevOps category and are the leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for both vision and execution. Millions of people now use GitLab to deliver software faster and more efficiently. We have integrated AI, Security, and Compliance into our platform to offer our enterprise customers the strongest AI-powered DevSecOps solution. We have also built GitLab in collaboration with our contributors. Last quarter, we had an all-time high of an estimated 1,800 code contributions from the wider community. It is incredible that as GitLab grew, our contributor community grew with us. We have done all of this while being a values-driven company, leading in all-remote work, championing transparency through our public handbook and culture, and co-creating with the wider community.\n\nI feel many things today, but more than anything else, I am grateful. I want to thank our customers. Driving results for them has been at the core of GitLab’s values, and I greatly appreciate their trust in us. I want to thank the wider GitLab community for their trust and enthusiasm. Their tens of thousands of contributions have greatly enhanced GitLab and its value for all users. Thank you, GitLab team members. Your contributions are at the core of GitLab’s success and the value we drive for our customers. Thank you, E-Group. You are amazing partners and collaborators in leading GitLab and our team members to achieve our very best. Thank you, GitLab Board. I have appreciated your support throughout my time as CEO and look forward to our ongoing partnership as I continue to serve as Executive Chair. And, thank you, Bill. I am excited for you to lead our next phase of growth. I am here to support you and the company in GitLab’s next chapter!\n\nI couldn't be more thrilled about Bill and what's ahead for GitLab with him at the helm. We have an incredible opportunity in front of us. Software has never mattered more, and GitLab is well-positioned to be the platform that best enables folks to create, secure, and operate it. I look forward to staying part of the company and being actively involved wherever Bill can use me. \n\n__Bill:__ Thanks, Sid, for the warm welcome! I greatly admire you and what you have accomplished. Very few people in the world have built a $10B market-cap technology company, taken it public, and scaled it to $750M in run-rate revenue. You have done incredible things with GitLab, and I’m grateful you will continue to play a meaningful role in the company. I appreciate your trust in me and commit to building upon the successes you and others should rightfully celebrate. \n\nI am so excited about GitLab and the opportunity ahead of us. Over the coming decade, we will see software-driven transformation around the world as AI accelerates and transforms the software revolution already in motion. GitLab and our mission are going to be more important than ever. I look forward to working with this team to scale GitLab well beyond where it is today.\n",[713],"news",{"slug":715,"featured":31,"template":13},"gitlab-names-bill-staples-as-new-ceo",{"content":717,"config":725},{"title":718,"description":719,"authors":720,"heroImage":722,"date":723,"body":724,"category":9},"Our Privacy Policy has been updated","Our updated Privacy Policy clarifies our existing data processing activities.",[721],"GitLab","https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1749664472/Blog/Hero%20Images/gitlabflatlogomap.png","2023-06-14","As part of our commitment to keeping our policies current, we made some updates to our [Privacy Policy](/privacy/) on June 14, 2022.

This change has been made to ensure the stability and reliability of our platform for all users.\n\n**Note:** Authorized users are not affected by this change.\n\n## What is the the Projects List API?\n\nThe Projects List API provides information about GitLab projects, including name, description, and other metadata. This API is widely used by our community, including researchers, developers, and integrators, to retrieve and analyze information about GitLab projects. We value this usage and aim to support it as much as possible.\n\n## Rate limitation details\n\nIn recent months, we have observed that the frequency and intensity of requests made by unauthenticated, also known as anonymous, users to the Projects List API have increased significantly. This has resulted in an increased load on our servers, which has impacted the performance and stability of our platform for all users. To address this issue, we have decided to introduce rate limitations for unauthenticated users.\n\nAs a consequence of this change, unauthenticated users of the Projects List API will be limited to 400 requests per 10 minutes per unique IP address on GitLab.com. If an unauthenticated user exceeds this limit, the user will receive a \"429 Too Many Requests\" response. On GitLab.com, this limit cannot be changed. Users of self-managed GitLab instances have the same rate limitation set by default, but [admins can change the rate limits](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/settings/rate_limit_on_projects_api.html#rate-limit-on-projects-api) as they see fit via the UI or the application settings API. They can also set the rate limit to zero, which acts as if there is no rate limitation at all.\n\nWe understand that this change may impact some of our users who rely on the Projects List API, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We encourage users who need to make more than 400 requests per 10 minutes to the Projects List API to [sign up for a GitLab account](/pricing/), which provides higher rate limits and other benefits, such as access to additional APIs and integrations.\n\nIf you have any questions or concerns about this change, please do not hesitate to [leave feedback in this issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/404611).\n",[737,738,713],"product","features",{"slug":740,"featured":12,"template":13},"rate-limitation-for-unauthorized-users-projects-list-api",{"promotions":742},[743,757,768],{"id":744,"categories":745,"header":747,"text":748,"button":749,"image":754},"ai-modernization",[746],"ai-ml","Is AI achieving its promise at scale?","Quiz will take 5 minutes or less",{"text":750,"config":751},"Get your AI maturity score",{"href":752,"dataGaName":753,"dataGaLocation":245},"/assessments/ai-modernization-assessment/","modernization assessment",{"config":755},{"src":756},"https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1772138786/qix0m7kwnd8x2fh1zq49.png",{"id":758,"categories":759,"header":760,"text":748,"button":761,"image":765},"devops-modernization",[737,557],"Are you just managing tools or shipping innovation?",{"text":762,"config":763},"Get your DevOps maturity score",{"href":764,"dataGaName":753,"dataGaLocation":245},"/assessments/devops-modernization-assessment/",{"config":766},{"src":767},"https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1772138785/eg818fmakweyuznttgid.png",{"id":769,"categories":770,"header":772,"text":748,"button":773,"image":777},"security-modernization",[771],"security","Are you trading speed for security?",{"text":774,"config":775},"Get your security maturity score",{"href":776,"dataGaName":753,"dataGaLocation":245},"/assessments/security-modernization-assessment/",{"config":778},{"src":779},"https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1772138786/p4pbqd9nnjejg5ds6mdk.png",{"header":781,"blurb":782,"button":783,"secondaryButton":788},"Start building faster today","See what your team can do with the intelligent orchestration platform for DevSecOps.\n",{"text":784,"config":785},"Get your free trial",{"href":786,"dataGaName":54,"dataGaLocation":787},"https://gitlab.com/-/trial_registrations/new?glm_content=default-saas-trial&glm_source=about.gitlab.com/","feature",{"text":496,"config":789},{"href":58,"dataGaName":59,"dataGaLocation":787},1772652073420]
