    Add docs to help choose the best GitLab installation method

  • Feature use cases

    The Support team are seeing many inappropriate installations of GitLab in Kubernetes (e.g. customers with only a few users). This leads to customers getting a bad experience from GitLab and uses a lot of Support time. The docs do not currently explain the limitations of installing GitLab in Kubernetes. Most customers would be best served with an Omnibus install.
