Product discovery for running Auto DevOps on air gapped networks
Problem to solve
Auto DevOps depends on internet access for quite a few stages. Some customers run GitLab on airgapped networks, and are therefore unable to use many of the stages.
Intended users
Developers
Further details
There are a few areas where we download things:
- We download the ADO helm chart on demand
- We download quite a few docker images on demand, and in some cases our docker images download other things inside of them
- We use apt to install packages. It's worth noting that apt also does not respect the proxy environment variables.
- ... and more.
Proposal
- Research and document all the places where Auto DevOps depends on internet access
- Figure out best strategy and next steps to solve this problem
What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
