Manual testing:

Perform the testing with the EE product as well as CE.

1. To test as EE, use a normal GitLab/GDK installation.

2. To test as CE, remove the ee folder from your Gitlab/GDK installation. You can simply rename the folder to something like ee_ignore.

   mv ee ee_ignore

Prerequisites:
Have a project with Prometheus available on your local Gitlab/GDK. You can clone https://gitlab.com/joshlambert/autodevops-deploy and use it.
