OPNFV | Evaluation Tracker
Background
OPNFV has been using self hosted Gerrit and Jenkins as its CI/CD tool. The LFN has been looking at a migration to GitLab in order to take advantage of the cloud hosting and additional features provided.
Selected projects in OPNFV have volunteered to evaluate GitLab and report back to the TSC on their findings.
Goals
- Feature comparison with Gerrit/Jenkins
- Additional security scanning and reports
- Code coverage and unit test reports
- Post build product test reports (system tests)
- Trend reports of test results leading up to a release

How to have job run when it is pre-merge vs a job that runs only on post-merge. For example, on post-merge we want to push to docker hub, but before the MR is merged, it should only push images to the local container repository. This can be done by checking if the target branch is protected. If it is, then push to dockerhub on merge.
