Thank You! I will look into that. OTOH this is how I came to conclusion that I must go the AutoDevOps way:
This is my first installation of gitlab ever. So naturally, after somehow successfully installing it on the 2nd try, everything seems to work. So - lets explore configuration options. For example we should disable registration since, well, we don't want to be a public gitlab host. After a while, after the Pages section, we come to a section named "Continuous Integration and Deployment". And there's a checkbox named "Default to Auto DevOps pipeline for all projects". And there does not seem to be any other kind of "Continuous Integration and Deployment" available so one naturally comes to a conclusion that the only way seems to be Auto DevOps. My bad.
Hi ratiolat, another GitLab PM here. Thanks for the feedback, as jl-gitlab mentioned, we'll work to make that clearer. You can think of Auto DevOps as a CI template that has a job for all devops stages built-in. If you want to experiment with kubernetes first you can easily add a kubernetes cluster from GitLab and experiment using with CI with or without auto devops.
