GitLab Inc. Launches Cloud Seed in Collaboration with Google Cloud to Bolster Cloud Adoption
October 11 2022 - 9:00AM
ALL REMOTE – Today, at Google Cloud Next, GitLab Inc., the provider
of The One DevOps Platform, announced the launch of Cloud Seed in
partnership with Google Cloud. Cloud Seed is a new capability
within GitLab that simplifies the developer experience for
procuring and consuming cloud services. Cloud Seed allows GitLab
and Google Cloud customers to migrate to the cloud using a single
platform, consolidating their tech stack without slowing down their
cloud adoption process.
GitLab’s 2022 DevSecOps Survey found that cloud adoption remains
a high priority for organizations, and it is the second highest
investment area for DevOps teams. Cloud Seed will enable
organizations to undergo a cloud transformation, ultimately
allowing them to scale at the speed of the market. Integrating
Google Cloud into the GitLab product ensures that organizations can
more easily reach cloud adoption targets and access the full power
of hyperscalers.
“Our 2022 DevSecOps Survey found that DevOps and cloud adoption
are two key priorities within the industry – and through our work
with hyperscalers, like Google Cloud, we’ve noticed that the
organizations we onboard to GitLab’s single platform also tend to
shift to the cloud in tandem. This capability will enable
organizations to accelerate their cloud adoption while still
ensuring they can work within the One DevOps Platform,” said Ashley
Kramer, Acting CTO at GitLab. “We’re thrilled that this launch
aligns with the priorities of the market and allows our customers
to innovate in exciting ways.”
Cloud Seed is built into the GitLab web UI and leverages CI/CD
pipeline capabilities. It is specifically tailored to offer a
frictionless developer experience for consuming Google Cloud
services, supporting Service Accounts, Regions, Cloud Run, and
Cloud SQL.
To develop this capability, GitLab worked with Google Cloud to
build best-in-class experiences to simplify, automate and thus
accelerate cloud resource provisioning, deployment automation and
configuration. Google Cloud and GitLab worked together in an
open-source model to make Cloud Seed available for paid and free
users.
Cloud Seed’s easy to use and accessible format drives organic
cloud adoption amongst users. Since it is a frictionless,
open-source tool, developers and product teams can consume the
Google Cloud services complementing their leadership's cloud
adoption efforts leading to an organic company-wide shift. As a
result, GitLab is seeing increased bottom-up adoption of cloud
services.
"Developers need resources and tools to increase their
productivity. We are excited to see GitLab launch Cloud Seed, which
is designed with that goal in mind,” said Steren Giannini, Group
Product Manager, Google Cloud. “Cloud Seed provides a simple way
for developers to deploy their web applications directly to Google
Cloud from GitLab. The project aligns with Google Cloud's goal of
making developers' lives easier.”
“GitLab is pleased to introduce Cloud Seed as part of our
growing partnership with Google Cloud,” said Nima Badiey, VP of
Alliances at GitLab. “Our longstanding relationship has delivered
impactful solutions for customers embarking on application
modernization and migration journeys onto Google Cloud, and Cloud
Seed further demonstrates our commitment to the developer community
as well as cloud users.”
