At the moment GitLab supports all of them but requires every user to implement their own build jobs to do these tasks, at least if you are not using Auto DevOps with Kubernetes. We can make it a little easier and quicker to get started by providing a base image that is reliable and works well with GitLab. ### Proposal GitLab should provide bundled resources/features that make this very easy to do, without having to reinvent the wheel every time. We should provide wrapper scripts in containers that make this much easier, much like Auto DevOps. These would be to a certain extent analagous to the GitHub Actions that provide similar functionality: - https://github.com/actions/gcloud - https://github.com/actions/aws - https://github.com/Azure/actions There is also inspiration to be taken from the "run on Google Cloud button": https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/08/22/click_to_spend_google_asks_developers_to_bake_run_on_google_cloud_into_their_git_repositories/ ### Other related items Other items that are not part of this epic but related are: - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/36176 (CodePipeline integration) - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/57780 (Typed AWS configuration variables) DeepDive on this epic; https://youtu.be/uXqgIQsnkVE
