Support Auto DevOps with GitLab Kubernetes agent
Auto DevOps is a popular feature but is not currently supported by the Kubernetes agent.
Proposal
Use the CI tunnel to support Auto DevOps
End goal
- Make it work out of the box. If that is not feasible/reasonable in terms of costs
- Make it work by setting CI variables.
We can start a first iteration by documenting what variables need to be configured in CI YAML.

Discussion from the team meeting on 2021-10-04
Mikhail Mazurskiy: Is the issue setting Context?
Hordur Yngvason: There are just two things to fix: Setting context and CI variables that are set by GitLab Cluster integration, Kubenamespace, Kubetoken etc
Mikhail Mazurskiy: Docs needed for ADO => Agent?
Hordur Yngvason: Working out of the box would be better
Nicholas Klick: can we just ask them to add a ci.yml?
Mikhail Mazurskiy: Starting with Config as code is a better pattern.
Hordur Yngvason: Users might be concerned about adding a ci.yml
Matt Kasa: Seems like we need to support users that dont want a ci.yml
Mikhail Mazurskiy: ENVs?
Hordur Yngvason: CI vars could work.
