+## Configure multiple OpenID Connect providers
+
+You can configure your application to use multiple OpenID Connect (OIDC) providers. You do this by explicitly setting the `strategy_class` in your configuration file.
+
+You should do this in either of the following scenarios:
+
+- [Migrating to the OpenID Connect protocol](../../integration/azure.md#migrate-to-the-openid-connect-protocol).
+- Offering different levels of authentication.
+
+NOTE:
+This is not compatible with [configuring users based on OIDC group membership](#configure-users-based-on-oidc-group-membership). For more information, see [issue 408248](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/408248).
+
+The following example configurations show how to offer different levels of authentication, one option with 2FA and one without 2FA.
+
+For Omnibus GitLab:
+
+```ruby

+
+In this use case, you might want to synchronize the `extern_uid` across the

+
+To do this, you set the `uid_field`. The following example code shows how to
+do this:
+
+```python
+def sync_missing_provider(self, user: User, extern_uid: str)
+ existing_identities = []
+ for identity in user.identities:
+ existing_identities.append(identity.get("provider"))
+
+ local_extern_uid = extern_uid.lower()
+ for provider in ("openid_connect_2fa", "openid_connect"):
+ identity = [
+ identity
+ for identity in user.identities
+ if identity.get("provider") == provider
+ and identity.get("extern_uid").lower() != local_extern_uid
+ ]
+ if provider not in existing_identities or identity:
+ if identity and identity[0].get("extern_uid") != "":
+ logger.error(f"Found different identity for provider {provider} for user {user.id}")
+ continue
+ else:
+ logger.info(f"Add identity 'provider': {provider}, 'extern_uid': {extern_uid} for user {user.id}")
+ user.provider = provider
+ user.extern_uid = extern_uid
+ user = self.save_user(user)

+```

+
+## Configure users based on OIDC group membership **(PREMIUM)**
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/209898) in GitLab 15.10.
+
+You can configure OIDC group membership to:
+
+- Require users to be members of a certain group.
+- Assign users [external roles](../../user/admin_area/external_users.md), or as
+ administrators based on group membership.
+
+GitLab checks these groups on each sign in and updates user attributes as necessary.
+This feature **does not** allow you to automatically add users to GitLab
+[groups](../../user/group/index.md).
+
+### Required groups
+
+Your identity provider (IdP) must pass group information to GitLab in the OIDC response. To use this
+response to require users to be members of a certain group, configure GitLab to identify:
+
+- Where to look for the groups in the OIDC response, using the `groups_attribute` setting.
+- Which group membership is required to sign in, using the `required_groups` setting.
+
+If you do not set `required_groups` or leave the setting empty, any user authenticated by the IdP through OIDC can use GitLab.
+
+For Omnibus GitLab:
+
+1. Edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
+
+ ```ruby
+ gitlab_rails['omniauth_providers'] = [

+# Test OIDC/OAuth in GitLab **(FREE)**
+
+To test OIDC/OAuth in GitLab, you must:
+
+1. [Enable OIDC/OAuth](#enable-oidcoauth-in-gitlab)
+1. [Test OIDC/OAuth with your client application](#test-oidcoauth-with-your-client-application)
+1. [Verify OIDC/OAuth authentication](#verify-oidcoauth-authentication)
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before you can test OIDC/OAuth on GitLab, you'll need the following:
+
+- Publicly accessible GitLab instance
+- A client application that you want to use to test OIDC/OAuth
+- A user account on the GitLab instance that you can use to log in and test OIDC/OAuth
+
+## Enable OIDC/OAuth in GitLab
+
+First, you must create OIDC/OAuth application on your GitLab instance. To do this:
+
+1. Sign in to GitLab as an administrator.
+1. Select **Profile > Preferences > Applications**.
+1. Fill in the details for your client application, including the name, redirect URI, and allowed scopes.
+1. Make sure the `openid` scope is enabled.
+1. Select **Save application** to create the new OAuth application.
+
+## Test OIDC/OAuth with your client application
+
+After you've created your OAuth application in GitLab, you can use it to test OIDC/OAuth:
+
+1. You can use <https://openidconnect.net> as the OIDC/OAuth playground.
+1. Sign out of GitLab.
+1. Visit your client application and initiate the OIDC/OAuth flow, using the GitLab OAuth application you created in the previous step.
+1. Follow the prompts to sign in to GitLab and authorize the client application to access your GitLab account.
+1. After you've completed the OIDC/OAuth flow, your client application should have received an access token that it can use to authenticate with GitLab.
+
+## Verify OIDC/OAuth authentication
+
+To verify that OIDC/OAuth authentication is working correctly on GitLab, you can perform the following checks:
+
+1. Check that the access token you received in the previous step is valid and can be used to authenticate with GitLab. You can do this by making a test API request to GitLab, using the access token to authenticate. For example:
+
+ ```shell
+ curl --header "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>" https://mygitlabinstance.com/api/v4/user
+ ```
+
+ Replace `<access_token>` with the actual access token you received in the previous step. If the API request succeeds and returns information about the authenticated user, then OIDC/OAuth authentication is working correctly.
+
+1. Check that the scopes you specified in your OAuth application are being enforced correctly. You can do this by making API requests that require the specific scopes and checking that they succeed or fail as expected.
+
+That's it! With these steps, you should be able to test OIDC/OAuth authentication on your GitLab instance using your client application.

-The following tables are intended to guide you to choose the right combination of capabilities based on your requirements. It is common to want the most
-available, quickly recoverable, highly performant, and fully data resilient solution. However, there are tradeoffs.
-
-The tables lists features on the left and provides their capabilities to the right along with known trade-offs.

-## Gitaly Capabilities
-
-| | Availability | Recoverability | Data Resiliency | Performance | Risks/Trade-offs|
-|-|--------------|----------------|-----------------|-------------|-----------------|
-|Gitaly Cluster | Very high - tolerant of node failures | RTO for a single node of 10 s with no manual intervention | Data is stored on multiple nodes | Good - While writes may take slightly longer due to voting, read distribution improves read speeds | **Trade-off** - Slight decrease in write speed for redundant, strongly-consistent storage solution. **Risks** - [Does not support snapshot backups](gitaly/index.md#snapshot-backup-and-recovery-limitations), GitLab backup task can be slow for large data sets |
-|Gitaly Shards | Single storage location is a single point of failure | Would need to restore only shards which failed | Single point of failure | Good - can allocate repositories to shards to spread load | **Trade-off** - Need to manually configure repositories into different shards to balance loads / storage space **Risks** - Single point of failure relies on recovery process when single-node failure occurs |
-|Gitaly + NFS | Single storage location is a single point of failure | Single node failure requires restoration from backup | Single point of failure | Average - NFS is not ideally suited to large quantities of small reads / writes which can have a detrimental impact on performance | **Trade-off** - Familiar administration though NFS is not ideally suited to Git demands **Risks** - Many instances of NFS compatibility issues which provide very poor customer experiences |
-
-## Geo Capabilities

-If your availability needs to span multiple zones or multiple locations, read about [Geo](geo/index.md).
-
-| | Availability | Recoverability | Data Resiliency | Performance | Risks/Trade-offs|
-|-|--------------|----------------|-----------------|-------------|-----------------|
-|Geo| Depends on the architecture of the Geo site. It is possible to deploy secondaries in single and multiple node configurations. | Eventually consistent. Recovery point depends on replication lag, which depends on a number of factors such as network speeds. Geo supports failover from a primary to secondary site using manual commands that are scriptable. | Geo replicates 100% of planned data types and verifies 50%. See [limitations table](geo/replication/datatypes.md#limitations-on-replicationverification) for more detail. | Improves read/clone times for users of a secondary. | Geo is not intended to replace other backup/restore solutions. Because of replication lag and the possibility of replicating bad data from a primary, customers should also take regular backups of their primary site and test the restore process. |

+
+If you want your GitLab data to be encrypted at rest, the KMS keys used must be accessible by GitLab services. KMS keys can be used in two modes for this purpose:
+
+1. Per-service KMS keys (Backup, EBS, RDS, S3), or
+1. One KMS key for all services.
+
+If you use a key per service, all services must be encrypted at rest. Selective enablement of this feature is not supported.
+
+The keys provided have to reside in the same primary and secondary region specified during [onboarding](#onboarding).
+
+For instructions on how to create and manage KMS keys, visit [Managing keys](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kms/latest/developerguide/getting-started.html) in the AWS KMS documentation.
+
+To create a KMS key using the AWS Console:
+
+1. In `Configure key`, select:
+ 1. Key type: **Symmetrical**
+ 1. Key usage: **Encrypt and decrypt**
+ 1. `Advanced options`:
+ 1. Key material origin: **KMS**
+ 1. Regionality: **Multi-Region key**
+1. Enter your values for key alias, description, and tags.
+1. Select Key administrators (optionally allow or deny key administrators to delete the key).
+1. For Key usage permissions, add the GitLab AWS account using the **Other AWS accounts** dialog.

### Inbound Private Link
[AWS Private Link](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/privatelink/what-is-privatelink.html) allows users and applications in your VPC on AWS to securely connect to the GitLab Dedicated endpoint without network traffic going over the public internet.
To enable the Inbound Private Link:
-1. In the body of your [support ticket](#configuration-changes), include the IAM Principal for the AWS user or role in your own AWS Organization that will be establishing the VPC endpoint within your AWS account. GitLab Dedicated uses this IAM Principal for access-control. This IAM principal will be the only one able to set up an endpoint to the service.
+1. In the body of your [support ticket](#configuration-changes), include the IAM Principal for the AWS user or role in your own AWS Organization that's establishing the VPC endpoint in your AWS account. GitLab Dedicated uses this IAM Principal for access-control. This IAM principal is the only one able to set up an endpoint to the service.
1. After your IAM Principal has been allowlisted, GitLab [creates the Endpoint Service](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/privatelink/create-endpoint-service.html) and communicates the `Service Endpoint Name` on the support ticket. The service name is generated by AWS upon creation of the service endpoint.

# Setting up Geo **(PREMIUM SELF)**
-These instructions assume you have a working instance of GitLab. They guide you through:
+## Prerequisites
-1. Making your existing instance the **primary** site.
-1. Adding **secondary** sites.
+- Two (or more) independently working GitLab sites:
+ - One GitLab site serves as the Geo **primary** site. Use the [GitLab reference architectures documentation](../../reference_architectures/index.md) to set this up. You can use different reference architecture sizes for each Geo site. If you already have a working GitLab instance that is in-use, it can be used as a **primary** site.
+ - The second GitLab site serves as the Geo **secondary** site. Use the [GitLab reference architectures documentation](../../reference_architectures/index.md) to set this up. It's a good idea to sign in and test it. However, be aware that **all of the data on the secondary are lost** as part of the process of replicating from the **primary** site.
-You must use a [GitLab Premium](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) license or higher,
-but you only need one license for all the sites.
+ NOTE:
+ Geo supports multiple secondaries. You can follow the same steps and make any changes accordingly.
-WARNING:
-The steps below should be followed in the order they appear. **Make sure the GitLab version is the same on all sites. Do not create an account or sign in to the new secondary.**
+- Ensure the **primary** site has a [GitLab Premium or Ultimate](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) subscription to unlock Geo. You only need one license for all the sites.
+- Confirm the [requirements for running Geo](../index.md#requirements-for-running-geo) are met by all sites. For example, sites must use the same GitLab version, and sites must be able to communicate with each other over certain ports.
## Using Omnibus GitLab
If you installed GitLab using the Omnibus packages (highly recommended):
-1. Confirm the [requirements for running Geo](../index.md#requirements-for-running-geo) are met.
-1. [Install GitLab Enterprise Edition](https://about.gitlab.com/install/) on the nodes that serve as the **secondary** site. **Do not create an account or sign in** to the new **secondary** site. The **GitLab version must match** across primary and secondary sites.
-1. [Add the GitLab License](../../../user/admin_area/license.md) on the **primary** site to unlock Geo. The license must be for [GitLab Premium](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) or higher.
-1. [Confirm network connectivity](../index.md#firewall-rules) between the **primary** and **secondary** site.
1. [Set up the database replication](database.md) (`primary (read-write) <-> secondary (read-only)` topology).
-1. [Configure fast lookup of authorized SSH keys in the database](../../operations/fast_ssh_key_lookup.md). This step is required and needs to be done on **both** the **primary** and **secondary** sites.
1. [Configure GitLab](../replication/configuration.md) to set the **primary** and **secondary** sites.
1. Optional: [Configure Object storage](../../object_storage.md)
1. Optional: [Configure a secondary LDAP server](../../auth/ldap/index.md) for the **secondary** sites. See [notes on LDAP](../index.md#ldap).
1. Optional: [Configure Geo secondary proxying](../secondary_proxy/index.md) to use a single, unified URL for all Geo sites. This step is recommended to accelerate most read requests while transparently proxying writes to the primary Geo site.
1. Follow the [Using a Geo Site](../replication/usage.md) guide.
+## Using GitLab Charts
+
+[Configure the GitLab chart with GitLab Geo](https://docs.gitlab.com/charts/advanced/geo/).

-## `gitaly-ruby`
-
-Gitaly was developed to replace the Ruby application code in GitLab.
-
-To save time and avoid the risk of rewriting existing application logic, we chose to copy some
-application code from GitLab into Gitaly.
-
-To be able to run that code, `gitaly-ruby` was created, which is a "sidecar" process for the main
-Gitaly Go process. Some examples of things that are implemented in `gitaly-ruby` are:
-
-- RPCs that deal with wikis.
-- RPCs that create commits on behalf of a user, such as merge commits.
-
-We recommend:
-
-- At least 300 MB memory per worker.
-- No more than one worker per core.
-
-NOTE:
-`gitaly-ruby` is planned to be eventually removed. To track progress, see the
-[Remove the Gitaly-Ruby sidecar](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/2862) epic.
-
-### Configure number of `gitaly-ruby` workers
-
-`gitaly-ruby` has much less capacity than Gitaly implemented in Go. If your Gitaly server has to handle lots of
-requests, the default setting of having just one active `gitaly-ruby` sidecar might not be enough.
-
-If you see `ResourceExhausted` errors from Gitaly, it's very likely that you have not enough

+# Gitaly and Geo capabilities
+
+It is common to want the most available, quickly recoverable, highly performant,
+and fully resilient solution for your data. However, there are tradeoffs.
+
+The following tables are intended to guide you to choose the right combination of capabilities based on your requirements.
+
+## Gitaly capabilities
+
+| Capability | Availability | Recoverability | Data Resiliency | Performance | Risks/Trade-offs|
+|------------|--------------|----------------|-----------------|-------------|-----------------|
+|Gitaly Cluster | Very high - tolerant of node failures | RTO for a single node of 10 s with no manual intervention | Data is stored on multiple nodes | Good - While writes may take slightly longer due to voting, read distribution improves read speeds | **Trade-off** - Slight decrease in write speed for redundant, strongly-consistent storage solution. **Risks** - [Does not support snapshot backups](../gitaly/index.md#snapshot-backup-and-recovery-limitations), GitLab backup task can be slow for large data sets |
+|Gitaly Shards | Single storage location is a single point of failure | Would need to restore only shards which failed | Single point of failure | Good - can allocate repositories to shards to spread load | **Trade-off** - Need to manually configure repositories into different shards to balance loads / storage space **Risks** - Single point of failure relies on recovery process when single-node failure occurs |
+|Gitaly + NFS | Single storage location is a single point of failure | Single node failure requires restoration from backup | Single point of failure | Average - NFS is not ideally suited to large quantities of small reads / writes which can have a detrimental impact on performance | **Trade-off** - Familiar administration though NFS is not ideally suited to Git demands **Risks** - Many instances of NFS compatibility issues which provide very poor customer experiences |
+
+## Geo capabilities
+
+If your availability needs to span multiple zones or multiple locations, read about [Geo](../geo/index.md).
+
+| Capability | Availability | Recoverability | Data Resiliency | Performance | Risks/Trade-offs|
+|------------|--------------|----------------|-----------------|-------------|-----------------|
+|Geo| Depends on the architecture of the Geo site. It is possible to deploy secondaries in single and multiple node configurations. | Eventually consistent. Recovery point depends on replication lag, which depends on a number of factors such as network speeds. Geo supports failover from a primary to secondary site using manual commands that are scriptable. | Geo replicates 100% of planned data types and verifies 50%. See [limitations table](../geo/replication/datatypes.md#limitations-on-replicationverification) for more detail. | Improves read/clone times for users of a secondary. | Geo is not intended to replace other backup/restore solutions. Because of replication lag and the possibility of replicating bad data from a primary, customers should also take regular backups of their primary site and test the restore process. |

+#### Service discovery
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/8971) in GitLab 15.10.
+
+Prerequisites:
+
+- A DNS server.
+
+GitLab uses service discovery to retrieve a list of Praefect hosts. Service
+discovery involves periodic checks of a DNS A or AAAA record, with the IPs
+retrieved from the record serving as the addresses of the target nodes.
+Praefect does not support service discovery by SRV record.
+
+By default, the minimum time between checks is 5 minutes, regardless of the
+records' TTLs. Praefect does not support customizing this interval. When clients
+receive an update, they:
+
+- Establish new connections to the new IP addresses.
+- Keep existing connections to intact IP addresses.
+- Drop connections to removed IP addresses.
+
+In-flight requests on to-be-removed connections are still handled until they
+finish. Workhorse has a 10-minute timeout, while other clients do not specify a
+graceful timeout.
+
+The DNS server should return all IP addresses instead of load-balancing itself.
+Clients can distribute requests to IP addresses in a round-robin fashion.
+
+Before updating client configuration, ensure that DNS service discovery works
+correctly. It should return the list of IP addresses correctly. `dig` is a good
+tool to use to verify.

+##### Configure service discovery
+
+By default, Praefect delegates DNS resolution to the operating system. In such
+cases, the Gitaly address can be set in either of these formats:
+
+- `dns:[host]:[port]`
+- `dns:///[host]:[port]` (note the three slashes)
+
+You can also appoint an authoritative name server by setting it in this format:
+
+- `dns://[authority_host]:[authority_port]/[host]:[port]`

-WARNING:
-This feature is in its end-of-life process. It is [deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/348909)
-in GitLab 14.9, and is planned for removal in GitLab 16.0.
-
-GitLab provides administrators insights into the health of their GitLab instance.
-
-To provide a native experience (similar interacting with an application deployed using GitLab), a
-project called **Monitoring** is created:
-
-- With [internal visibility](../../../user/public_access.md#internal-projects-and-groups).
-- Under a group called **GitLab Instance**.
-
-The project is created specifically for visualizing and configuring the monitoring of your GitLab
-instance.
-
-When the project and group are created, all administrators are given the [Maintainer role](../../../user/permissions.md).
-As an administrator, you can add new members to the group to give them the Maintainer role for the project.
-
-This project can be used to:
-
-- Self-monitor your GitLab instance. The metrics dashboard of the project shows some basic resource
- usage charts, such as CPU and memory usage of each server in
- [Omnibus GitLab](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/) installations.
-- Also configure your own [custom metrics](../../../operations/metrics/index.md#adding-custom-metrics)
- using metrics exposed by the [GitLab exporter](../prometheus/gitlab_metrics.md#metrics-available).
-
-## Create the self-monitoring project
-
-1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Admin**.
-1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > Metrics and profiling** and expand **Self-monitoring**.
-1. Toggle **Self-monitoring** on.
-1. After your GitLab instance creates the project, GitLab displays a link to the
- project in the text above the **Self-monitoring** toggle. You can also find it
- from the top bar by selecting **Main menu > Projects**.
-
-## Delete the self-monitoring project
-
-WARNING:
-Deleting the self-monitoring project removes any changes made to the project. If
-you create the project again, it's created in its default state.
-
-1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Admin**.
-1. On the left sidebar, go to **Settings > Metrics and profiling** and expand **Self-monitoring**.
-1. Toggle **Self-monitoring** off.
-1. In the confirmation dialog that opens, select **Delete self-monitoring project**.
- It can take a few seconds for it to be deleted.
-1. After the project is deleted, GitLab displays a message confirming your action.
-
-## Dashboards available in Omnibus GitLab
-
-Omnibus GitLab provides a dashboard that displays CPU and memory usage
-of each GitLab server. To select the servers to be displayed in the
-panels, provide a regular expression in the **Instance label regex** field.
-The dashboard uses metrics available in
-[Omnibus GitLab](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/) installations.
-
-![GitLab self-monitoring overview dashboard](img/self_monitoring_overview_dashboard.png)
-
-You can also
-[create your own dashboards](../../../operations/metrics/dashboards/index.md).
-
-## Connect to Prometheus
-
-The project is automatically configured to connect to the
-[internal Prometheus](../prometheus/index.md) instance if the Prometheus instance is present.
-This should be the case if GitLab was installed using Omnibus GitLab and you haven't disabled it.
-
-If that's not the case, or if you have an external Prometheus instance or a customized setup,
-you [configure it manually](../../../user/project/integrations/prometheus.md#manual-configuration-of-prometheus).
-
-## Take action on Prometheus alerts **(ULTIMATE)**
-
-You can [add a Prometheus integration](../../../operations/incident_management/integrations.md)
-to GitLab to receive notifications of any alerts.
-
-When the integration is set up, you can
-[take action on incoming alerts](../../../operations/metrics/alerts.md#trigger-actions-from-alerts).
-
-## Add custom metrics to the self-monitoring project
-
-You can add custom metrics in the self-monitoring project by:
-
-1. [Duplicating](../../../operations/metrics/dashboards/index.md#duplicate-a-gitlab-defined-dashboard) the overview dashboard.
-1. [Editing](../../../operations/metrics/index.md) the newly created dashboard file and configuring it with [dashboard YAML properties](../../../operations/metrics/dashboards/yaml.md).
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Error message in logs: `Could not create instance administrators group. Errors: ["You don't have permission to create groups."]`
-
-A [bug](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/208676) causes project creation to fail with
-the following error in the log file when the first administrator user is an
-[external user](../../../user/admin_area/external_users.md):
-
-```plaintext
-Could not create instance administrators group. Errors: ["You don't have permission to create groups."]
-```
-
-Run the following in a Rails console to check if the first administrator user is an external user:
-
-```ruby
-User.admins.active.first.external?
-```
-
-If this returns true, the first administrator user is an external user.
-
-If you face this issue, you can temporarily
-[make the administrator user a non-external user](../../../user/admin_area/external_users.md)
-and then try to create the project.
-After the project is created, the administrator user can be changed back to an external user.

# Grafana Configuration **(FREE SELF)**
+> [Deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/-/issues/7772) in GitLab 16.0.
+
+WARNING:
+Bundled Grafana was deprecated GitLab 16.0 and is no longer supported. It will be removed in GitLab 16.3.
+For more information, see [deprecation notes](#deprecation-of-bundled-grafana).
+
[Grafana](https://grafana.com/) is a tool that enables you to visualize time
series metrics through graphs and dashboards. GitLab writes performance data to Prometheus,
and Grafana allows you to query the data to display useful graphs.
+## Deprecation of bundled Grafana
+
+Bundled Grafana was an optional Omnibus GitLab service that provided a user interface to GitLab metrics.
+
+The version of Grafana that is bundled with Omnibus GitLab is no longer supported. If you're using the bundled Grafana, you
+should switch to a newer version from [Grafana Labs](https://grafana.com/grafana/).
+
+### Switch to new Grafana instance
+
+To switch away from bundled Grafana to a newer version of Grafana from Grafana Labs:
+
+1. Set up a version of Grafana from Grafana Labs.
+1. [Export the existing dashboards](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/dashboards/manage-dashboards/#export-a-dashboard) from bundled Grafana.
+1. [Import the existing dashboards](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/dashboards/manage-dashboards/#import-a-dashboard) in the new Grafana instance.
+1. [Configure GitLab](#integration-with-gitlab-ui) to use the new Grafana instance.
+
+### Temporary workaround
+
+In GitLab versions 16.0 to 16.2, you can still force Omnibus GitLab to enable and configure Grafana by setting the following:
+
+- `grafana['enable'] = true`.
+- `grafana['enable_deprecated_service'] = true`.
+

+
+GitLab is tightly integrated with the Fog library, so you can see which
+[providers](https://fog.io/about/provider_documentation.html) can be used
+with GitLab.
Specifically, GitLab has been tested by vendors and customers on a number of object storage providers:
-- [Amazon S3](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/)
+- [Amazon S3](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/) ([Object Lock](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/object-lock.html)

- [Azure Blob storage](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-blobs-introduction)
+- [MinIO](https://min.io/) (S3 compatible)
- On-premises hardware and appliances from various storage vendors, whose list is not officially established.
-- MinIO. We have [a guide to deploying this](https://docs.gitlab.com/charts/advanced/external-object-storage/minio.html) within our Helm Chart documentation.
-### Known compatibility issues
+## Configure a single storage connection for all object types (consolidated form)
-- Dell EMC ECS: Prior to GitLab 13.3, there is a
- [known bug in GitLab Workhorse that prevents HTTP Range Requests from working with CI job artifacts](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/223806).
- Be sure to upgrade to GitLab 13.3.0 or above if you use S3 storage with this hardware.
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/-/merge_requests/4368) in GitLab 13.2.
-- Ceph S3 prior to [Kraken 11.0.2](https://ceph.com/releases/kraken-11-0-2-released/) does not support the [Upload Copy Part API](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/300604). You may need to [disable multi-threaded copying](#multi-threaded-copying).
+Most types of objects, such as CI artifacts, LFS files, and upload attachments
+can be saved in object storage by specifying a single credential for object
+storage with multiple buckets.
-- Amazon S3 [Object Lock](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/object-lock.html)
- is not supported. Follow [issue #335775](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/335775)
- for progress on enabling this option.
+Configuring the object storage using the consolidated form has a number of advantages:
-## Configuration guides
+- It can simplify your GitLab configuration since the connection details are shared
+ across object types.
+- It enables the use of [encrypted S3 buckets](#encrypted-s3-buckets).
+- It [uploads files to S3 with proper `Content-MD5` headers](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-workhorse/-/issues/222).
-There are two ways of specifying object storage configuration in GitLab:
+When the consolidated form is used,
+[direct upload](../development/uploads/index.md#direct-upload) is enabled
+automatically. Thus, only the following providers can be used:
-- [Consolidated form](#consolidated-object-storage-configuration): A single credential is
- shared by all supported object types.
-- [Storage-specific form](#storage-specific-configuration): Every object defines its
- own object storage [connection and configuration](#connection-settings).
+- [Amazon S3-compatible providers](#amazon-s3)
+- [Google Cloud Storage](#google-cloud-storage-gcs)
+- [Azure Blob storage](#azure-blob-storage)
-For more information on the differences and to transition from one form to another, see
-[Transition to consolidated form](#transition-to-consolidated-form).
+The consolidated form configuration can't be used for backups or
+Mattermost. Backups can be configured with
+[server side encryption](../raketasks/backup_gitlab.md#s3-encrypted-buckets)
+separately. See the
+[table for a complete list](#configure-each-object-type-to-define-its-own-storage-connection-storage-specific-form)
+of supported object storage types.
-If you are currently storing data locally, see
-[Migrate to object storage](#migrate-to-object-storage) for migration details.
+Enabling the consolidated form enables object storage for all object
+types. If not all buckets are specified, you may see an error like:
-### Consolidated object storage configuration
+```plaintext
+Object storage for <object type> must have a bucket specified
+```
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/-/merge_requests/4368) in GitLab 13.2.
+If you want to use local storage for specific object types, you can
+[disable object storage for specific features](#disable-object-storage-for-specific-features).
-Using the consolidated object storage configuration has a number of advantages:
+### Configure the common parameters
-- It can simplify your GitLab configuration since the connection details are shared
- across object types.
-- It enables the use of [encrypted S3 buckets](#encrypted-s3-buckets).
-- It [uploads files to S3 with proper `Content-MD5` headers](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-workhorse/-/issues/222).
+In the consolidated form, the `object_store` section defines a
+common set of parameters.
+
+| Setting | Description |
+|-------------------|-----------------------------------|
+| `enabled` | Enable or disable object storage. |
+| `proxy_download` | Set to `true` to [enable proxying all files served](#proxy-download). Option allows to reduce egress traffic as this allows clients to download directly from remote storage instead of proxying all data. |
+| `connection` | Various [connection options](#configure-the-connection-settings) described below. |
+| `storage_options` | Options to use when saving new objects, such as [server side encryption](#server-side-encryption-headers). Introduced in GitLab 13.3. |
+| `objects` | [Object-specific configuration](#configure-the-parameters-of-each-object). |
-Because [direct upload mode](../development/uploads/index.md#direct-upload)
-must be enabled, only the following providers can be used:
+For an example, see how to [use the consolidated form and Amazon S3](#full-example-using-the-consolidated-form-and-amazon-s3).
-- [Amazon S3-compatible providers](#s3-compatible-connection-settings)
-- [Google Cloud Storage](#google-cloud-storage-gcs)
-- [Azure Blob storage](#azure-blob-storage)
+### Configure the parameters of each object
+
+Each object type must at least define the bucket name where it will be stored.
+
+The following table lists the valid `objects` that can be used:
+
+| Type | Description |
+|--------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| `artifacts` | [CI artifacts](job_artifacts.md) |
+| `external_diffs` | [Merge request diffs](merge_request_diffs.md) |
+| `uploads` | [User uploads](uploads.md) |
+| `lfs` | [Git Large File Storage objects](lfs/index.md) |
+| `packages` | [Project packages (for example, PyPI, Maven, or NuGet)](packages/index.md) |
+| `dependency_proxy` | [Dependency Proxy](packages/dependency_proxy.md) |
+| `terraform_state` | [Terraform state files](terraform_state.md) |
+| `pages` | [Pages](pages/index.md) |
+
+Within each object type, three parameters can be defined:
+
+| Setting | Required? | Description |
+|------------------|------------------------|-------------------------------------|
+| `bucket` | **{check-circle}** Yes\* | Bucket name for the object type. Not required if `enabled` is set to `false`. |
+| `enabled` | **{dotted-circle}** No | Overrides the [common parameter](#configure-the-common-parameters). |
+| `proxy_download` | **{dotted-circle}** No | Overrides the [common parameter](#configure-the-common-parameters). |
+
+For an example, see how to [use the consolidated form and Amazon S3](#full-example-using-the-consolidated-form-and-amazon-s3).
+
+#### Disable object storage for specific features
+
+As seen above, object storage can be disabled for specific types by
+setting the `enabled` flag to `false`. For example, to disable object
+storage for CI artifacts:
+
+```ruby
+gitlab_rails['object_store']['objects']['artifacts']['enabled'] = false
+```
+
+A bucket is not needed if the feature is disabled entirely. For example,
+no bucket is needed if CI artifacts are disabled with this setting:
+
+```ruby
+gitlab_rails['artifacts_enabled'] = false
+```
-When consolidated object storage is used, direct upload is enabled
-automatically. For storage-specific
-configuration, [direct upload may become the default](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/27331)
+## Configure each object type to define its own storage connection (storage-specific form)
+
+With the storage-specific form, every object defines its own object
+storage connection and configuration. If you're using GitLab 13.2 and later,
+you should [transition to the consolidated form](#transition-to-consolidated-form).
+
+The use of [encrypted S3 buckets](#encrypted-s3-buckets) with non-consolidated form is not supported.
+You may get [ETag mismatch errors](#etag-mismatch) if you use it.
+
+NOTE:
+For the storage-specific form,
+[direct upload may become the default](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/27331)
because it does not require a shared folder.
-Consolidated object storage configuration can't be used for backups or
-Mattermost. See the [full table for a complete list](#storage-specific-configuration).
-However, backups can be configured with [server side encryption](../raketasks/backup_gitlab.md#s3-encrypted-buckets) separately.
+For configuring object storage in GitLab 13.1 and earlier, or for storage types not
+supported by consolidated form, refer to the following guides:
+
+| Object storage type | Supported by consolidated form? |
+|---------------------|------------------------------------------|
+| [Backups](../raketasks/backup_gitlab.md#upload-backups-to-a-remote-cloud-storage) | **{dotted-circle}** No |

+
+## Configure the connection settings
+
+Both consolidated and storage-specific form must configure a connection. The following sections describe parameters that can be used
+in the `connection` setting.
+
+### Amazon S3
+
+The connection settings match those provided by [fog-aws](https://github.com/fog/fog-aws):
+
+| Setting | Description | Default |
+|---------------------------------------------|------------------------------------|---------|
+| `provider` | Always `AWS` for compatible hosts. | `AWS` |
+| `aws_access_key_id` | AWS credentials, or compatible. | |
+| `aws_secret_access_key` | AWS credentials, or compatible. | |
+| `aws_signature_version` | AWS signature version to use. `2` or `4` are valid options. Digital Ocean Spaces and other providers may need `2`. | `4` |
+| `enable_signature_v4_streaming` | Set to `true` to enable HTTP chunked transfers with [AWS v4 signatures](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/sigv4-streaming.html). Oracle Cloud S3 needs this to be `false`. | `true` |
+| `region` | AWS region. | |
+| `host` | DEPRECATED: Use `endpoint` instead. S3 compatible host for when not using AWS. For example, `localhost` or `storage.example.com`. HTTPS and port 443 is assumed. | `s3.amazonaws.com` |
+| `endpoint` | Can be used when configuring an S3 compatible service such as [MinIO](https://min.io), by entering a URL such as `http://127.0.0.1:9000`. This takes precedence over `host`. Always use `endpoint` for consolidated form. | (optional) |
+| `path_style` | Set to `true` to use `host/bucket_name/object` style paths instead of `bucket_name.host/object`. Set to `true` for using [MinIO](https://min.io). Leave as `false` for AWS S3. | `false`. |
+| `use_iam_profile` | Set to `true` to use IAM profile instead of access keys. | `false` |
+| `aws_credentials_refresh_threshold_seconds` | Sets the [automatic refresh threshold](https://github.com/fog/fog-aws#controlling-credential-refresh-time-with-iam-authentication) in seconds when using temporary credentials in IAM. | `15` |
+
+#### Use Amazon instance profiles
+
+Instead of supplying AWS access and secret keys in object storage
+configuration, you can configure GitLab to use Amazon Identity Access and Management (IAM) roles to set up an
+[Amazon instance profile](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_use_switch-role-ec2.html).
+When this is used, GitLab fetches temporary credentials each time an
+S3 bucket is accessed, so no hard-coded values are needed in the
+configuration.
+
+Prerequisites:
+
+- GitLab must be able to connect to the
+ [instance metadata endpoint](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/instancedata-data-retrieval.html).
+- If GitLab is [configured to use an internet proxy](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/environment-variables.html), the endpoint IP
+ address must be added to the `no_proxy` list.
+
+To set up an instance profile:
+
+1. Create an IAM role with the necessary permissions. The
+ following example is a role for an S3 bucket named `test-bucket`:
+
+ ```json
+ {
+ "Version": "2012-10-17",
+ "Statement": [
+ {
+ "Sid": "VisualEditor0",
+ "Effect": "Allow",
+ "Action": [
+ "s3:PutObject",
+ "s3:GetObject",
+ "s3:DeleteObject"
+ ],
+ "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::test-bucket/*"
+ }
+ ]
+ }
+ ```
+
+1. [Attach this role](https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/attach-replace-ec2-instance-profile/)
+ to the EC2 instance hosting your GitLab instance.
+1. Set the `use_iam_profile` GitLab configuration option to `true`.
+
+#### Encrypted S3 buckets
+
+> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-workhorse/-/merge_requests/466) in GitLab 13.1 for instance profiles only and [S3 default encryption](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/bucket-encryption.html).
+> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/34460) in GitLab 13.2 for static credentials when the [consolidated form](#configure-a-single-storage-connection-for-all-object-types-consolidated-form) and [S3 default encryption](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/bucket-encryption.html) is used.
+
+When configured either with an instance profile or with the consolidated
+form, GitLab Workhorse properly uploads files to S3
+buckets that have [SSE-S3 or SSE-KMS encryption enabled by default](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kms/latest/developerguide/services-s3.html).
+AWS KMS keys and SSE-C encryption are
+[not supported since this requires sending the encryption keys in every request](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/226006).
+
+#### Server-side encryption headers
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/38240) in GitLab 13.3.
-Enabling consolidated object storage enables object storage for all object
-types. If not all buckets are specified, `sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure` may fail with the error like:
+Setting a default encryption on an S3 bucket is the easiest way to
+enable encryption, but you may want to
+[set a bucket policy to ensure only encrypted objects are uploaded](https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/s3-bucket-store-kms-encrypted-objects).
+To do this, you must configure GitLab to send the proper encryption headers
+in the `storage_options` configuration section:
+
+| Setting | Description |
+|-------------------------------------|------------------------------------------|
+| `server_side_encryption` | Encryption mode (`AES256` or `aws:kms`). |
+| `server_side_encryption_kms_key_id` | Amazon Resource Name. Only needed when `aws:kms` is used in `server_side_encryption`. See the [Amazon documentation on using KMS encryption](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/UsingKMSEncryption.html). |
+
+As with the case for default encryption, these options only work when
+the Workhorse S3 client is enabled. One of the following two conditions
+must be fulfilled:
+
+- `use_iam_profile` is `true` in the connection settings.
+- Consolidated form is in use.
+
+[ETag mismatch errors](#etag-mismatch) occur if server side
+encryption headers are used without enabling the Workhorse S3 client.
+
+### Oracle Cloud S3
+
+Oracle Cloud S3 must be sure to use the following settings:
+
+| Setting | Value |
+|---------------------------------|---------|
+| `enable_signature_v4_streaming` | `false` |
+| `path_style` | `true` |
+
+If `enable_signature_v4_streaming` is set to `true`, you may see the
+following error in `production.log`:
```plaintext
-Object storage for <object type> must have a bucket specified
+STREAMING-AWS4-HMAC-SHA256-PAYLOAD is not supported
```
-If you want to use local storage for specific object types, you can
-[selectively disable object storages](#selectively-disabling-object-storage).
+### Google Cloud Storage (GCS)
-Most types of objects, such as CI artifacts, LFS files, and upload
-attachments can be saved in object storage by specifying a single
-credential for object storage with multiple buckets.
+Here are the valid connection parameters for GCS:
-When the consolidated form is:
+| Setting | Description | Example |
+|------------------------------|-------------------|---------|
+| `provider` | Provider name. | `Google` |
+| `google_project` | GCP project name. | `gcp-project-12345` |
+| `google_json_key_location` | JSON key path. | `/path/to/gcp-project-12345-abcde.json` |
+| `google_json_key_string` | JSON key string. | `{ "type": "service_account", "project_id": "example-project-382839", ... }` |
+| `google_application_default` | Set to `true` to use [Google Cloud Application Default Credentials](https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication#adc) to locate service account credentials. | |
-- Used with an S3-compatible object storage, Workhorse uses its internal S3 client to
- upload files.
-- Not used with an S3-compatible object storage, Workhorse falls back to using
- pre-signed URLs.
+GitLab reads the value of `google_json_key_location`, then `google_json_key_string`, and finally, `google_application_default`.
+It uses the first of these settings that has a value.
+
+The service account must have permission to access the bucket. For more information,
+see the [Cloud Storage authentication documentation](https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/authentication).
+
+NOTE:
+Bucket encryption with the [Cloud Key Management Service (KMS)](https://cloud.google.com/kms/docs) is not supported and results in [ETag mismatch errors](#etag-mismatch).
+
+#### GCS example
+
+For Omnibus installations, this is an example of the `connection` setting
+in the consolidated form:
+
+```ruby
+gitlab_rails['object_store']['connection'] = {
+ 'provider' => 'Google',
+ 'google_project' => '<GOOGLE PROJECT>',
+ 'google_json_key_location' => '<FILENAME>'
+}
+```
+
+#### GCS example with ADC
-See the section on [ETag mismatch errors](#etag-mismatch) for more details.
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/275979) in GitLab 13.6.
+
+Google Cloud Application Default Credentials (ADC) are typically
+used with GitLab to use the default service account. This eliminates the
+need to supply credentials for the instance. For example, in the consolidated form:
+
+```ruby
+gitlab_rails['object_store']['connection'] = {
+ 'provider' => 'Google',
+ 'google_project' => '<GOOGLE PROJECT>',
+ 'google_application_default' => true
+}
+```
+
+If you use ADC, be sure that:
+
+- The service account that you use has the
+[`iam.serviceAccounts.signBlob` permission](https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/reference/credentials/rest/v1/projects.serviceAccounts/signBlob).
+ Typically this is done by granting the `Service Account Token Creator` role to the service account.
+- Your virtual machines have the [correct access scopes to access Google Cloud APIs](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/access/create-enable-service-accounts-for-instances#changeserviceaccountandscopes). If the machines do not have the right scope, the error logs may show:
+
+ ```markdown
+ Google::Apis::ClientError (insufficientPermissions: Request had insufficient authentication scopes.)
+ ```
+
+### Azure Blob storage
-#### Use AWS S3
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/25877) in GitLab 13.4.
+
+Although Azure uses the word `container` to denote a collection of
+blobs, GitLab standardizes on the term `bucket`. Be sure to configure
+Azure container names in the `bucket` settings.
+
+Azure Blob storage can only be used with the [consolidated form](#configure-a-single-storage-connection-for-all-object-types-consolidated-form)
+because a single set of credentials are used to access multiple
+containers. The [storage-specific form](#configure-each-object-type-to-define-its-own-storage-connection-storage-specific-form)
+is not supported. For more details, see [how to transition to consolidated form](#transition-to-consolidated-form).
+
+The following are the valid connection parameters for Azure. For more information, see the
+[Azure Blob Storage documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-blobs-introduction).
+
+| Setting | Description | Example |
+|------------------------------|----------------|-----------|
+| `provider` | Provider name. | `AzureRM` |
+| `azure_storage_account_name` | Name of the Azure Blob Storage account used to access the storage. | `azuretest` |
+| `azure_storage_access_key` | Storage account access key used to access the container. This is typically a secret, 512-bit encryption key encoded in base64. | `czV2OHkvQj9FKEgrTWJRZVRoV21ZcTN0Nnc5eiRDJkYpSkBOY1JmVWpYbjJy\nNHU3eCFBJUQqRy1LYVBkU2dWaw==\n` |
+| `azure_storage_domain` | Domain name used to contact the Azure Blob Storage API (optional). Defaults to `blob.core.windows.net`. Set this if you are using Azure China, Azure Germany, Azure US Government, or some other custom Azure domain. | `blob.core.windows.net` |
+
+- For Omnibus installations, this is an example of the `connection` setting
+ in the consolidated form:
+
+ ```ruby
+ gitlab_rails['object_store']['connection'] = {
+ 'provider' => 'AzureRM',
+ 'azure_storage_account_name' => '<AZURE STORAGE ACCOUNT NAME>',
+ 'azure_storage_access_key' => '<AZURE STORAGE ACCESS KEY>',
+ 'azure_storage_domain' => '<AZURE STORAGE DOMAIN>'
+ }
+ ```
+
+- For source installations, Workhorse also needs to be configured with Azure
+ credentials. This isn't needed in Omnibus installs, because the Workhorse
+ settings are populated from the previous settings.
+
+ 1. Edit `/home/git/gitlab-workhorse/config.toml` and add or amend the following lines:
+
+ ```toml
+ [object_storage]
+ provider = "AzureRM"
+
+ [object_storage.azurerm]
+ azure_storage_account_name = "<AZURE STORAGE ACCOUNT NAME>"
+ azure_storage_access_key = "<AZURE STORAGE ACCESS KEY>"
+ ```
+
+ If you are using a custom Azure storage domain,
+ `azure_storage_domain` does **not** have to be set in the Workhorse
+ configuration. This information is exchanged in an API call between
+ GitLab Rails and Workhorse.
+
+### Storj Gateway (SJ)
+
+NOTE:
+The Storj Gateway [does not support](https://github.com/storj/gateway-st/blob/4b74c3b92c63b5de7409378b0d1ebd029db9337d/docs/s3-compatibility.md) multi-threaded copying (see `UploadPartCopy` in the table).
+While an implementation [is planned](https://github.com/storj/roadmap/issues/40), you must [disable multi-threaded copying](#multi-threaded-copying) until completion.
+
+The [Storj Network](https://www.storj.io/) provides an S3-compatible API gateway. Use the following configuration example:
+
+```ruby
+gitlab_rails['object_store']['connection'] = {
+ 'provider' => 'AWS',
+ 'endpoint' => 'https://gateway.storjshare.io',
+ 'path_style' => true,
+ 'region' => 'eu1',
+ 'aws_access_key_id' => 'ACCESS_KEY',
+ 'aws_secret_access_key' => 'SECRET_KEY',
+ 'aws_signature_version' => 2,
+ 'enable_signature_v4_streaming' => false
+}
+```
+
+The signature version must be `2`. Using v4 results in a HTTP 411 Length Required error.
+For more information, see [issue #4419](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/4419).

-}
-```
-
-| Setting | Description |
-|-------------------|-----------------------------------|
-| `enabled` | Enable or disable object storage. |
-| `proxy_download` | Set to `true` to [enable proxying all files served](#proxy-download). Option allows to reduce egress traffic as this allows clients to download directly from remote storage instead of proxying all data. |
-| `connection` | Various [connection options](#connection-settings) described below. |
-| `storage_options` | Options to use when saving new objects, such as [server side encryption](#server-side-encryption-headers). Introduced in GitLab 13.3. |
-| `objects` | [Object-specific configuration](#object-specific-configuration). |
-
-### Connection settings
-
-Both consolidated configuration form and storage-specific configuration form must configure a connection. The following sections describe parameters that can be used
-in the `connection` setting.
-
-#### S3-compatible connection settings
-
-The connection settings match those provided by [fog-aws](https://github.com/fog/fog-aws):
-
-| Setting | Description | Default |
-|---------------------------------------------|------------------------------------|---------|
-| `provider` | Always `AWS` for compatible hosts. | `AWS` |
-| `aws_access_key_id` | AWS credentials, or compatible. | |
-| `aws_secret_access_key` | AWS credentials, or compatible. | |
-| `aws_signature_version` | AWS signature version to use. `2` or `4` are valid options. Digital Ocean Spaces and other providers may need `2`. | `4` |
-| `enable_signature_v4_streaming` | Set to `true` to enable HTTP chunked transfers with [AWS v4 signatures](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/sigv4-streaming.html). Oracle Cloud S3 needs this to be `false`. | `true` |
-| `region` | AWS region. | |
-| `host` | DEPRECATED: Use `endpoint` instead. S3 compatible host for when not using AWS. For example, `localhost` or `storage.example.com`. HTTPS and port 443 is assumed. | `s3.amazonaws.com` |
-| `endpoint` | Can be used when configuring an S3 compatible service such as [MinIO](https://min.io), by entering a URL such as `http://127.0.0.1:9000`. This takes precedence over `host`. Always use `endpoint` for consolidated form. | (optional) |
-| `path_style` | Set to `true` to use `host/bucket_name/object` style paths instead of `bucket_name.host/object`. Set to `true` for using [MinIO](https://min.io). Leave as `false` for AWS S3. | `false`. |
-| `use_iam_profile` | Set to `true` to use IAM profile instead of access keys. | `false` |
-| `aws_credentials_refresh_threshold_seconds` | Sets the [automatic refresh threshold](https://github.com/fog/fog-aws#controlling-credential-refresh-time-with-iam-authentication) when using temporary credentials in IAM. | `15` |
-
-#### Oracle Cloud S3 connection settings
-
-Oracle Cloud S3 must be sure to use the following settings:
-
-| Setting | Value |
-|---------------------------------|---------|
-| `enable_signature_v4_streaming` | `false` |
-| `path_style` | `true` |
-
-If `enable_signature_v4_streaming` is set to `true`, you may see the
-following error in `production.log`:

-#### Storj Gateway Configuration (SJ)
-
-NOTE:
-The Storj Gateway [does not support](https://github.com/storj/gateway-st/blob/4b74c3b92c63b5de7409378b0d1ebd029db9337d/docs/s3-compatibility.md) multi-threaded copying (see `UploadPartCopy` in the table).
-While an implementation [is planned](https://github.com/storj/roadmap/issues/40), you must [disable multi-threaded copying](#multi-threaded-copying) until completion.
-
-The [Storj Network](https://www.storj.io/) provides an S3-compatible API gateway. Use the following configuration example:
-
-```ruby
-gitlab_rails['object_store']['connection'] = {
- 'provider' => 'AWS',
- 'endpoint' => 'https://gateway.storjshare.io',
- 'path_style' => true,
- 'region' => 'eu1',
- 'aws_access_key_id' => 'ACCESS_KEY',
- 'aws_secret_access_key' => 'SECRET_KEY',
- 'aws_signature_version' => 2,
- 'enable_signature_v4_streaming' => false
-}
-```
-
-The signature version must be `2`. Using v4 results in a HTTP 411 Length Required error.
-For more information, see [issue #4419](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/4419).
-
-### Object-specific configuration
-
-The following YAML shows how the `object_store` section defines
-object-specific configuration block and how the `enabled` and
-`proxy_download` flags can be overridden. The `bucket` is the only
-required parameter within each type:
-
-```yaml
- object_store:
- connection:
- ...
- objects:
- artifacts:
- bucket: artifacts
- proxy_download: false
- external_diffs:
- bucket: external-diffs
- lfs:
- bucket: lfs-objects
- uploads:
- bucket: uploads
- packages:
- bucket: packages
- dependency_proxy:
- enabled: false
- bucket: dependency_proxy
- terraform_state:
- bucket: terraform
- pages:
- bucket: pages
-```
-
-This maps to this Omnibus GitLab configuration:
-
-```ruby
-gitlab_rails['object_store']['objects']['artifacts']['bucket'] = 'artifacts'
-gitlab_rails['object_store']['objects']['artifacts']['proxy_download'] = false
-gitlab_rails['object_store']['objects']['external_diffs']['bucket'] = 'external-diffs'
-gitlab_rails['object_store']['objects']['lfs']['bucket'] = 'lfs-objects'
-gitlab_rails['object_store']['objects']['uploads']['bucket'] = 'uploads'
-gitlab_rails['object_store']['objects']['packages']['bucket'] = 'packages'
-gitlab_rails['object_store']['objects']['dependency_proxy']['enabled'] = false
-gitlab_rails['object_store']['objects']['dependency_proxy']['bucket'] = 'dependency-proxy'
-gitlab_rails['object_store']['objects']['terraform_state']['bucket'] = 'terraform-state'
-gitlab_rails['object_store']['objects']['pages']['bucket'] = 'pages'
-```
-
-This is the list of valid `objects` that can be used:
-
-| Type | Description |
-|--------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
-| `artifacts` | [CI artifacts](job_artifacts.md) |
-| `external_diffs` | [Merge request diffs](merge_request_diffs.md) |
-| `uploads` | [User uploads](uploads.md) |
-| `lfs` | [Git Large File Storage objects](lfs/index.md) |
-| `packages` | [Project packages (for example, PyPI, Maven, or NuGet)](packages/index.md) |
-| `dependency_proxy` | [Dependency Proxy](packages/dependency_proxy.md) |
-| `terraform_state` | [Terraform state files](terraform_state.md) |
-| `pages` | [Pages](pages/index.md) |
-
-Within each object type, three parameters can be defined:
-
-| Setting | Required? | Description |
-|------------------|------------------------|-------------------------------------|
-| `bucket` | **{check-circle}** Yes | Bucket name for the object storage. |
-| `enabled` | **{dotted-circle}** No | Overrides the common parameter. |
-| `proxy_download` | **{dotted-circle}** No | Overrides the common parameter. |
-
-#### Selectively disabling object storage
-
-As seen above, object storage can be disabled for specific types by
-setting the `enabled` flag to `false`. For example, to disable object
-storage for CI artifacts:
-
-```ruby
-gitlab_rails['object_store']['objects']['artifacts']['enabled'] = false
-```
-
-A bucket is not needed if the feature is disabled entirely. For example,
-no bucket is needed if CI artifacts are disabled with this setting:
-
-```ruby
-gitlab_rails['artifacts_enabled'] = false
-```

+
+Prerequisites:
+
+- Choose the computer to run Rclone on. Depending on how much data you are migrating, Rclone may have to run for a long time so you should avoid using a laptop or desktop computer that can go into power saving. You can use your GitLab server to run Rclone.
+
+1. [Install](https://rclone.org/downloads/) Rclone.
+1. Configure Rclone by running the following:
+
+ ```shell
+ rclone config
+ ```
+
+ The configuration process is interactive. Add at least two "remotes": one for the object storage provider your data is currently on (`old`), and one for the provider you are moving to (`new`).
+
+1. Verify that you can read the old data. The following example refers to the `uploads` bucket , but your bucket may have a different name:
+
+ ```shell
+ rclone ls old:uploads | head
+ ```
+
+ This should print a partial list of the objects currently stored in your `uploads` bucket. If you get an error, or if
+ the list is empty, go back and update your Rclone configuration using `rclone config`.
+
+1. Perform an initial copy. You do not need to take your GitLab server offline for this step.
-WARNING:
-The use of [encrypted S3 buckets](#encrypted-s3-buckets) with non-consolidated configuration is not supported.
-You may start getting [ETag mismatch errors](#etag-mismatch) if you use it.

-### Other alternatives to file system storage
+1. After the first sync completes, use the web UI or command-line interface of your new object storage provider to

-### Using Amazon instance profiles
-
-Instead of supplying AWS access and secret keys in object storage
-configuration, GitLab can be configured to use IAM roles to set up an
-[Amazon instance profile](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_use_switch-role-ec2.html).
-When this is used, GitLab fetches temporary credentials each time an
-S3 bucket is accessed, so no hard-coded values are needed in the
-configuration.
-
-To use an Amazon instance profile, GitLab must be able to connect to the
-[instance metadata endpoint](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/instancedata-data-retrieval.html).
-If GitLab is [configured to use an Internet proxy](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/environment-variables.html), the endpoint IP

-#### Encrypted S3 buckets
-
-> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-workhorse/-/merge_requests/466) in GitLab 13.1 for instance profiles only and [S3 default encryption](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/bucket-encryption.html).
-> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/34460) in GitLab 13.2 for static credentials when [consolidated object storage configuration](#consolidated-object-storage-configuration) and [S3 default encryption](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/bucket-encryption.html) are used.
-
-When configured either with an instance profile or with the consolidated
-object configuration, GitLab Workhorse properly uploads files to S3
-buckets that have [SSE-S3 or SSE-KMS encryption enabled by default](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kms/latest/developerguide/services-s3.html).
-Customer master keys (CMKs) and SSE-C encryption are
-[not supported since this requires sending the encryption keys in every request](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/226006).
-
-##### Server-side encryption headers
-
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/38240) in GitLab 13.3.
-
-Setting a default encryption on an S3 bucket is the easiest way to
-enable encryption, but you may want to
-[set a bucket policy to ensure only encrypted objects are uploaded](https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/s3-bucket-store-kms-encrypted-objects).
-To do this, you must configure GitLab to send the proper encryption headers
-in the `storage_options` configuration section:
-
-| Setting | Description |
-|-------------------------------------|------------------------------------------|
-| `server_side_encryption` | Encryption mode (`AES256` or `aws:kms`). |
-| `server_side_encryption_kms_key_id` | Amazon Resource Name. Only needed when `aws:kms` is used in `server_side_encryption`. See the [Amazon documentation on using KMS encryption](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/UsingKMSEncryption.html). |
-
-As with the case for default encryption, these options only work when
-the Workhorse S3 client is enabled. One of the following two conditions
-must be fulfilled:
-
-- `use_iam_profile` is `true` in the connection settings.
-- Consolidated object storage settings are in use.
-
-[ETag mismatch errors](#etag-mismatch) occur if server side
-encryption headers are used without enabling the Workhorse S3 client.
-
-#### IAM Permissions
-
-To set up an instance profile:
-
-1. Create an Amazon Identity Access and Management (IAM) role with the necessary permissions. The
- following example is a role for an S3 bucket named `test-bucket`:
+When the consolidated form is:
- ```json
- {
- "Version": "2012-10-17",
- "Statement": [
- {
- "Sid": "VisualEditor0",
- "Effect": "Allow",
- "Action": [
- "s3:PutObject",
- "s3:GetObject",
- "s3:DeleteObject"
- ],
- "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::test-bucket/*"
- }
- ]
- }
- ```
+- Used with an S3-compatible object storage or an istance profile, Workhorse
+ uses its internal S3 client which has S3 credentials so that it can compute
+ the `Content-MD5` header. This eliminates the need to compare ETag headers
+ returned from the S3 server.
+- Not used with an S3-compatible object storage, Workhorse falls back to using
+ pre-signed URLs.

-## Troubleshooting
-
-### How to see GitLab Pages logs
-
-You can see Pages daemon logs by running:
-
-```shell
-sudo gitlab-ctl tail gitlab-pages
-```
-
-You can also find the log file in `/var/log/gitlab/gitlab-pages/current`.
-
-### `unsupported protocol scheme \"\""`
-
-If you see the following error:
-
-```plaintext
-{"error":"failed to connect to internal Pages API: Get \"/api/v4/internal/pages/status\": unsupported protocol scheme \"\"","level":"warning","msg":"attempted to connect to the API","time":"2021-06-23T20:03:30Z"}
-```
-
-It means you didn't set the HTTP(S) protocol scheme in the Pages server settings.
-To fix it:
-
-1. Edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
-
- ```ruby
- gitlab_pages['gitlab_server'] = "https://<your_pages_domain_name>"
- gitlab_pages['internal_gitlab_server'] = "https://<your_pages_domain_name>"
- ```
-
-1. Reconfigure GitLab:
-
- ```shell
- sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure
- ```
-
-### 502 error when connecting to GitLab Pages proxy when server does not listen over IPv6
-
-In some cases, NGINX might default to using IPv6 to connect to the GitLab Pages
-service even when the server does not listen over IPv6. You can identify when
-this is happening if you see something similar to the log entry below in the
-`gitlab_pages_error.log`:
-
-```plaintext
-2020/02/24 16:32:05 [error] 112654#0: *4982804 connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: 123.123.123.123, server: ~^(?<group>.*)\.pages\.example\.com$, request: "GET /-/group/project/-/jobs/1234/artifacts/artifact.txt HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://[::1]:8090//-/group/project/-/jobs/1234/artifacts/artifact.txt", host: "group.example.com"
-```
-
-To resolve this, set an explicit IP and port for the GitLab Pages `listen_proxy` setting
-to define the explicit address that the GitLab Pages daemon should listen on:
-
-```ruby
-gitlab_pages['listen_proxy'] = '127.0.0.1:8090'
-```
-
-### Intermittent 502 errors or after a few days
-
-If you run Pages on a system that uses `systemd` and
-[`tmpfiles.d`](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/tmpfiles.d.html),
-you may encounter intermittent 502 errors trying to serve Pages with an error similar to:

-
-GitLab Pages creates a [bind mount](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/mount.8.html)
-inside `/tmp/gitlab-pages-*` that includes files like `/etc/hosts`.
-However, `systemd` may clean the `/tmp/` directory on a regular basis so the DNS
-configuration may be lost.
-
-To stop `systemd` from cleaning the Pages related content:
-
-1. Tell `tmpfiles.d` to not remove the Pages `/tmp` directory:
-
- ```shell
- echo 'x /tmp/gitlab-pages-*' >> /etc/tmpfiles.d/gitlab-pages-jail.conf
- ```
-
-1. Restart GitLab Pages:
-
- ```shell
- sudo gitlab-ctl restart gitlab-pages

-you must copy the `/etc/gitlab/gitlab-secrets.json` file
-from the **GitLab server** to the **Pages server** after upgrading to GitLab 13.3,
-as described in that section.
-
-Other reasons may include network connectivity issues between your
-**GitLab server** and your **Pages server** such as firewall configurations or closed ports.
-For example, if there is a connection timeout:
-
-```plaintext
-error="failed to connect to internal Pages API: Get \"https://gitlab.example.com:3000/api/v4/internal/pages/status\": net/http: request canceled while waiting for connection (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)"
-```
-
-### Pages cannot communicate with an instance of the GitLab API
-
-If you use the default value for `domain_config_source=auto` and run multiple instances of GitLab
-Pages, you may see intermittent 502 error responses while serving Pages content. You may also see
-the following warning in the Pages logs:
-
-```plaintext
-WARN[0010] Pages cannot communicate with an instance of the GitLab API. Please sync your gitlab-secrets.json file https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-pages/-/issues/535#workaround. error="pages endpoint unauthorized"
-```
-
-This can happen if your `gitlab-secrets.json` file is out of date between GitLab Rails and GitLab
-Pages. Follow steps 8-10 of [Running GitLab Pages on a separate server](#running-gitlab-pages-on-a-separate-server),
-in all of your GitLab Pages instances.
-
-### Intermittent 502 errors when using an AWS Network Load Balancer and GitLab Pages
-
-Connections will time out when using a Network Load Balancer with client IP preservation enabled and [the request is looped back to the source server](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/network/load-balancer-troubleshooting.html#loopback-timeout).
-This can happen to GitLab instances with multiple servers
-running both the core GitLab application and GitLab Pages. This can also happen when a single
-container is running both the core GitLab application and GitLab Pages.
-
-AWS [recommends using an IP target type](https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/target-connection-fails-load-balancer/)
-to resolve this issue.
-
-Turning off [client IP preservation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/network/load-balancer-target-groups.html#client-ip-preservation)
-may resolve this issue when the core GitLab application and GitLab Pages run on the same host or
-container.
-
-### 500 error with `securecookie: failed to generate random iv` and `Failed to save the session`
-
-This problem most likely results from an [out-dated operating system](../package_information/supported_os.md#os-versions-that-are-no-longer-supported).
-The [Pages daemon uses the `securecookie` library](https://gitlab.com/search?group_id=9970&project_id=734943&repository_ref=master&scope=blobs&search=securecookie&snippets=false) to get random strings via [`crypto/rand` in Go](https://pkg.go.dev/crypto/rand#pkg-variables).
-This requires the `getrandom` system call or `/dev/urandom` to be available on the host OS.
-Upgrading to an [officially supported operating system](https://about.gitlab.com/install/) is recommended.
-
-### The requested scope is invalid, malformed, or unknown
-
-This problem comes from the permissions of the GitLab Pages OAuth application. To fix it:
-
-1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Admin**.
-1. On the left sidebar, select **Applications > GitLab Pages**.
-1. Edit the application.
-1. Under **Scopes**, ensure that the `api` scope is selected.
-1. Save your changes.
-
-When running a [separate Pages server](#running-gitlab-pages-on-a-separate-server),
-this setting needs to be configured on the main GitLab server.
-
-### Workaround in case no wildcard DNS entry can be set
-
-If the wildcard DNS [prerequisite](#prerequisites) can't be met, you can still use GitLab Pages in a limited fashion:
-
-1. [Move](../../user/project/settings/index.md#transfer-a-project-to-another-namespace)
- all projects you need to use Pages with into a single group namespace, for example `pages`.
-1. Configure a [DNS entry](#dns-configuration) without the `*.`-wildcard, for example `pages.example.io`.
-1. Configure `pages_external_url http://example.io/` in your `gitlab.rb` file.
- Omit the group namespace here, because it automatically is prepended by GitLab.
-
-### Pages daemon fails with permission denied errors
-
-If `/tmp` is mounted with `noexec`, the Pages daemon fails to start with an error like:
-
-```plaintext
-{"error":"fork/exec /gitlab-pages: permission denied","level":"fatal","msg":"could not create pages daemon","time":"2021-02-02T21:54:34Z"}
-```
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-pages/-/issues/632) in GitLab 14.9.
-In this case, change `TMPDIR` to a location that is not mounted with `noexec`. Add the following to
-`/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
-
-```ruby
-gitlab_pages['env'] = {'TMPDIR' => '<new_tmp_path>'}
-```
-
-Once added, reconfigure with `sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure` and restart GitLab with
-`sudo gitlab-ctl restart`.
-
-### `The redirect URI included is not valid.` when using Pages Access Control
-
-You may see this error if `pages_external_url` was updated at some point of time. Verify the following:
-
-1. The **Callback URL**/Redirect URI in the GitLab Pages [System OAuth application](../../integration/oauth_provider.md#create-an-instance-wide-application)
-is using the protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) that `pages_external_url` is configured to use.
-1. The domain and path components of `Redirect URI` are valid: they should look like `projects.<pages_external_url>/auth`.
-
-### 500 error `cannot serve from disk`
-
-If you get a 500 response from Pages and encounter an error similar to:
-
-```plaintext
-ERRO[0145] cannot serve from disk error="gitlab: disk access is disabled via enable-disk=false" project_id=27 source_path="file:///shared/pages/@hashed/67/06/670671cd97404156226e507973f2ab8330d3022ca96e0c93bdbdb320c41adcaf/pages_deployments/14/artifacts.zip" source_type=zip
-```
-
-It means that GitLab Rails is telling GitLab Pages to serve content from a location on disk,
-however, GitLab Pages was configured to disable disk access.
-
-To enable disk access:
-
-1. Enable disk access for GitLab Pages in `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
+1. Set rate limits in `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
```ruby
- gitlab_pages['enable_disk'] = true
+ gitlab_pages['rate_limit_tls_source_ip'] = 20.0
+ gitlab_pages['rate_limit_tls_source_ip_burst'] = 600
```
1. [Reconfigure GitLab](../restart_gitlab.md#omnibus-gitlab-reconfigure).
-### `httprange: new resource 403`
-
-If you see an error similar to:
-
-```plaintext
-{"error":"httprange: new resource 403: \"403 Forbidden\"","host":"root.pages.example.com","level":"error","msg":"vfs.Root","path":"/pages1/","time":"2021-06-10T08:45:19Z"}
-```
-
-And you run pages on the separate server syncing files via NFS, it may mean that
-the shared pages directory is mounted on a different path on the main GitLab server and the
-GitLab Pages server.
+#### Enable TLS connections rate limits by domain
-In that case, it's highly recommended you to configure
-[object storage and migrate any existing pages data to it](#using-object-storage).
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-pages/-/issues/632) in GitLab 14.9.
-Alternatively, you can mount the GitLab Pages shared directory to the same path on
-both servers.
-
-### GitLab Pages doesn't work after upgrading to GitLab 14.0 or above
-
-GitLab 14.0 introduces a number of changes to GitLab Pages which may require manual intervention.
-
-1. Firstly [follow the migration guide](#prepare-gitlab-pages-for-140).
-1. Try to upgrade to GitLab 14.3 or above. Some of the issues were fixed in GitLab 14.1, 14.2 and 14.3.
-1. If it doesn't work, see [GitLab Pages logs](#how-to-see-gitlab-pages-logs), and if you see any errors there then search them on this page.
-
-WARNING:
-In GitLab 14.0-14.2 you can temporarily enable legacy storage and configuration mechanisms.
-
-To do that:
-
-1. Describe the issue you're seeing in the [migration feedback issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/331699).
-
-1. Edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
+1. Set rate limits in `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
```ruby
- gitlab_pages['use_legacy_storage'] = true
+ gitlab_pages['rate_limit_tls_domain'] = 1000
+ gitlab_pages['rate_limit_tls_domain_burst'] = 5000
```
1. [Reconfigure GitLab](../restart_gitlab.md#omnibus-gitlab-reconfigure).
-### GitLab Pages deploy job fails with error "is not a recognized provider"
-
-If the **pages** job succeeds but the **deploy** job gives the error "is not a recognized provider":
-
-![Pages Deploy Failure](img/pages_deploy_failure_v14_8.png)
-
-The error message `is not a recognized provider` could be coming from the `fog` gem that GitLab uses to connect to cloud providers for object storage.
-
-To fix that:
-
-1. Check your `gitlab.rb` file. If you have `gitlab_rails['pages_object_store_enabled']` enabled, but no bucket details have been configured, either:
-
- - Configure object storage for your Pages deployments, following the [S3-compatible connection settings](#s3-compatible-connection-settings) guide.
- - Store your deployments locally, by commenting out that line.
-
-1. Save the changes you made to your `gitlab.rb` file, then [reconfigure GitLab](../restart_gitlab.md#omnibus-gitlab-reconfigure).
-
-### 404 error `The page you're looking for could not be found`
-
-If you get a `404 Page Not Found` response from GitLab Pages:
-
-1. Check `.gitlab-ci.yml` contains the job `pages:`.
-1. Check the current project's pipeline to confirm the job `pages:deploy` is being run.
+## Related topics
-Without the `pages:deploy` job, the updates to your GitLab Pages site are never published.

+# Troubleshooting GitLab Pages administration **(FREE SELF)**
+
+This page contains a list of issues you might encounter when administering GitLab Pages.
+
+## How to see GitLab Pages logs
+
+You can see Pages daemon logs by running:
+
+```shell
+sudo gitlab-ctl tail gitlab-pages
+```
+
+You can also find the log file in `/var/log/gitlab/gitlab-pages/current`.
+
+## `unsupported protocol scheme \"\""`
+
+If you see the following error:
+
+```plaintext
+{"error":"failed to connect to internal Pages API: Get \"/api/v4/internal/pages/status\": unsupported protocol scheme \"\"","level":"warning","msg":"attempted to connect to the API","time":"2021-06-23T20:03:30Z"}
+```
+
+It means you didn't set the HTTP(S) protocol scheme in the Pages server settings.
+To fix it:
+
+1. Edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
+
+ ```ruby
+ gitlab_pages['gitlab_server'] = "https://<your_gitlab_server_public_host_and_port>"
+ gitlab_pages['internal_gitlab_server'] = "https://<your_gitlab_server_private_host_and_port>" # optional, gitlab_pages['gitlab_server'] is used as default
+ ```
+
+1. Reconfigure GitLab:
+
+ ```shell
+ sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure
+ ```
+
+## 502 error when connecting to GitLab Pages proxy when server does not listen over IPv6
+
+In some cases, NGINX might default to using IPv6 to connect to the GitLab Pages
+service even when the server does not listen over IPv6. You can identify when
+this is happening if you see something similar to the log entry below in the
+`gitlab_pages_error.log`:
+
+```plaintext
+2020/02/24 16:32:05 [error] 112654#0: *4982804 connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: 123.123.123.123, server: ~^(?<group>.*)\.pages\.example\.com$, request: "GET /-/group/project/-/jobs/1234/artifacts/artifact.txt HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://[::1]:8090//-/group/project/-/jobs/1234/artifacts/artifact.txt", host: "group.example.com"
+```
+
+To resolve this, set an explicit IP and port for the GitLab Pages `listen_proxy` setting
+to define the explicit address that the GitLab Pages daemon should listen on:
+
+```ruby
+gitlab_pages['listen_proxy'] = '127.0.0.1:8090'
+```
+
+## Intermittent 502 errors or after a few days
+
+If you run Pages on a system that uses `systemd` and
+[`tmpfiles.d`](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/tmpfiles.d.html),
+you may encounter intermittent 502 errors trying to serve Pages with an error similar to:
+
+```plaintext
+dial tcp: lookup gitlab.example.com on [::1]:53: dial udp [::1]:53: connect: no route to host"
+```
+
+GitLab Pages creates a [bind mount](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/mount.8.html)
+inside `/tmp/gitlab-pages-*` that includes files like `/etc/hosts`.
+However, `systemd` may clean the `/tmp/` directory on a regular basis so the DNS
+configuration may be lost.
+
+To stop `systemd` from cleaning the Pages related content:
+
+1. Tell `tmpfiles.d` to not remove the Pages `/tmp` directory:
+
+ ```shell
+ echo 'x /tmp/gitlab-pages-*' >> /etc/tmpfiles.d/gitlab-pages-jail.conf
+ ```
+
+1. Restart GitLab Pages:
+
+ ```shell
+ sudo gitlab-ctl restart gitlab-pages
+ ```
+
+## Unable to access GitLab Pages
+
+If you can't access your GitLab Pages (such as receiving `502 Bad Gateway` errors, or a login loop)
+and in your Pages log shows this error:
+
+```plaintext
+"error":"retrieval context done: context deadline exceeded","host":"root.docs-cit.otenet.gr","level":"error","msg":"could not fetch domain information from a source"
+```
+
+1. Add the following to `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
+
+ ```ruby
+ gitlab_pages['internal_gitlab_server'] = 'http://localhost:8080'
+ ```
+
+1. Restart GitLab Pages:
+
+ ```shell
+ sudo gitlab-ctl restart gitlab-pages
+ ```
+
+## Failed to connect to the internal GitLab API
+
+If you see the following error:
+
+```plaintext
+ERRO[0010] Failed to connect to the internal GitLab API after 0.50s error="failed to connect to internal Pages API: HTTP status: 401"
+```
+
+If you are [Running GitLab Pages on a separate server](index.md#running-gitlab-pages-on-a-separate-server)
+you must copy the `/etc/gitlab/gitlab-secrets.json` file
+from the **GitLab server** to the **Pages server** after upgrading to GitLab 13.3,
+as described in that section.
+
+Other reasons may include network connectivity issues between your
+**GitLab server** and your **Pages server** such as firewall configurations or closed ports.
+For example, if there is a connection timeout:

+```
+
+## Pages cannot communicate with an instance of the GitLab API
+
+If you use the default value for `domain_config_source=auto` and run multiple instances of GitLab
+Pages, you may see intermittent 502 error responses while serving Pages content. You may also see
+the following warning in the Pages logs:
+
+```plaintext

+```plaintext
+ERRO[0145] cannot serve from disk error="gitlab: disk access is disabled via enable-disk=false" project_id=27 source_path="file:///shared/pages/@hashed/67/06/670671cd97404156226e507973f2ab8330d3022ca96e0c93bdbdb320c41adcaf/pages_deployments/14/artifacts.zip" source_type=zip
+```
+
+It means that GitLab Rails is telling GitLab Pages to serve content from a location on disk,
+however, GitLab Pages was configured to disable disk access.
+
+To enable disk access:
+
+1. Enable disk access for GitLab Pages in `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
+
+ ```ruby
+ gitlab_pages['enable_disk'] = true
+ ```
+
+1. [Reconfigure GitLab](../restart_gitlab.md#omnibus-gitlab-reconfigure).
+
+## `httprange: new resource 403`
+
+If you see an error similar to:
+
+```plaintext
+{"error":"httprange: new resource 403: \"403 Forbidden\"","host":"root.pages.example.com","level":"error","msg":"vfs.Root","path":"/pages1/","time":"2021-06-10T08:45:19Z"}
+```
+
+And you run pages on the separate server syncing files via NFS, it may mean that
+the shared pages directory is mounted on a different path on the main GitLab server and the
+GitLab Pages server.
+
+In that case, it's highly recommended you to configure
+[object storage and migrate any existing pages data to it](index.md#using-object-storage).
+
+Alternatively, you can mount the GitLab Pages shared directory to the same path on
+both servers.
+
+## GitLab Pages doesn't work after upgrading to GitLab 14.0 or above
+
+GitLab 14.0 introduces a number of changes to GitLab Pages which may require manual intervention.
+
+1. Firstly [follow the migration guide](index.md#prepare-gitlab-pages-for-140).
+1. Try to upgrade to GitLab 14.3 or above. Some of the issues were fixed in GitLab 14.1, 14.2 and 14.3.
+1. If it doesn't work, see [GitLab Pages logs](#how-to-see-gitlab-pages-logs), and if you see any errors there then search them on this page.
+
+WARNING:
+In GitLab 14.0-14.2 you can temporarily enable legacy storage and configuration mechanisms.
+
+To do that:
+
+1. Describe the issue you're seeing in the [migration feedback issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/331699).
+
+1. Edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
+
+ ```ruby
+ gitlab_pages['use_legacy_storage'] = true
+ ```
+
+1. [Reconfigure GitLab](../restart_gitlab.md#omnibus-gitlab-reconfigure).
+
+## GitLab Pages deploy job fails with error "is not a recognized provider"
+
+If the **pages** job succeeds but the **deploy** job gives the error "is not a recognized provider":
+
+![Pages Deploy Failure](img/pages_deploy_failure_v14_8.png)
+
+The error message `is not a recognized provider` could be coming from the `fog` gem that GitLab uses to connect to cloud providers for object storage.
+
+To fix that:
+
+1. Check your `gitlab.rb` file. If you have `gitlab_rails['pages_object_store_enabled']` enabled, but no bucket details have been configured, either:
+
+ - Configure object storage for your Pages deployments, following the [S3-compatible connection settings](index.md#s3-compatible-connection-settings) guide.
+ - Store your deployments locally, by commenting out that line.
+
+1. Save the changes you made to your `gitlab.rb` file, then [reconfigure GitLab](../restart_gitlab.md#omnibus-gitlab-reconfigure).
+
+## 404 error `The page you're looking for could not be found`
+
+If you get a `404 Page Not Found` response from GitLab Pages:
+
+1. Check `.gitlab-ci.yml` contains the job `pages:`.
+1. Check the current project's pipeline to confirm the job `pages:deploy` is being run.
+
+Without the `pages:deploy` job, the updates to your GitLab Pages site are never published.

+### `Exception: Permission denied @ rb_sysopen - (filename)`
+
+The specified project export file cannot be accessed by the `git` user.
+
+To fix the issue:
+
+1. Set the file owner to `git:git`.
+1. Change the file permissions to `0400`.
+1. Move the file to a public folder (for example `/tmp/`).
+
+### `Name can contain only letters, digits, emojis ...`

+with '-', end in '.git', or end in '.atom'.
+```
+
+The project name specified in `project_path` is not valid for one of the specified reasons.
+
+Only put the project name in `project_path`. For example, if you provide a path of subgroups
+it fails with this error as `/` is not a valid character in a project name.
+
+### `Name has already been taken and Path has already been taken`
+
+A project with that name already exists.
+
+### `Exception: Error importing repository into (namespace) - No space left on device`
+
+The disk has insufficient space to complete the import.
+
+During import, the tarball is cached in your configured `shared_path` directory. Verify the
+disk has enough free space to accommodate both the cached tarball and the unpacked
+project files on disk.

+### Import is successful, but with a `Total number of not imported relations: XX` message, and issues are not created during the import
+
+If you receive a `Total number of not imported relations: XX` message, and issues
+aren't created during the import, check [exceptions_json.log](../logs/index.md#exceptions_jsonlog).
+You might see an error like `N is out of range for ActiveModel::Type::Integer with limit 4 bytes`,
+where `N` is the integer exceeding the 4-byte integer limit. If that's the case, you
+are likely hitting the issue with rebalancing of `relative_position` field of the issues.

+## Deviating from the suggested reference architectures
+
+As a general guideline, the further away you move from the reference architectures,
+the harder it is to get support for it. With any deviation, you're introducing
+a layer of complexity that adds challenges to finding out where potential
+issues might lie.
+
+The reference architectures use the official GitLab Linux packages (Omnibus
+GitLab) or [Helm Charts](https://docs.gitlab.com/charts/) to install and configure the various components. The components are
+installed on separate machines (virtualized or bare metal), with machine hardware
+requirements listed in the "Configuration" column and equivalent VM standard sizes listed
+in GCP/AWS/Azure columns of each [available reference architecture](#available-reference-architectures).
+
+Running components on Docker (including Docker Compose) with the same specs should be fine, as Docker is well known in terms of support.
+However, it is still an additional layer and may still add some support complexities, such as not being able to run `strace` easily in containers.
+
+### Unsupported designs
+
+While we endeavour to try and have a good range of support for GitLab environment designs, there are certain approaches we know definitively not to work, and as a result are not supported. Those approaches are detailed in the following sections.
+
+#### Stateful components in Kubernetes
+
+[Running stateful components in Kubernetes, such as Gitaly Cluster, is not supported](https://docs.gitlab.com/charts/installation/#configure-the-helm-chart-to-use-external-stateful-data).
+
+Gitaly Cluster is only supported to be run on VMs as Git itself doesn't match well with the Kubernetes design and attempting to run it can lead to significant and complex issues.
+[Refer to epic 6127 for more information](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/6127).
+
+This also applies to other third-party stateful components such as Postgres and Redis, but you can explore other third-party solutions for those components if desired such as supported Cloud Provider services unless called out specifically as unsupported.
+
+#### Autoscaling of stateful nodes
+
+As a general guidance, only _stateless_ components of GitLab can be run in Autoscaling groups, namely GitLab Rails
+and Sidekiq.
+
+Other components that have state, such as Gitaly, are not supported in this fashion (for more information, see [issue 2997](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitaly/-/issues/2997)).
+
+This also applies to other third-party stateful components such as Postgres and Redis, but you can explore other third-party solutions for those components if desired such as supported Cloud Provider services unless called out specifically as unsupported.
+
+#### Spreading one environment over multiple data centers
+
+Deploying one GitLab environment over multiple data centers is not supported due to potential split brain edge cases
+if a data center were to go down. For example, several components of the GitLab setup, namely Consul, Redis Sentinel and Praefect require an odd number quorum to function correctly and splitting over multiple data centers can impact this notably.
+
+For deploying GitLab over multiple data centers or regions we offer [GitLab Geo](https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/geo/) as a comprehensive solution.

-## Deviating from the suggested reference architectures
+## Maintaining a Reference Architecture environment
-As a general guideline, the further away you move from the Reference Architectures,
-the harder it is to get support for it. With any deviation, you're introducing
-a layer of complexity that adds challenges to finding out where potential
-issues might lie.
+Maintaining a Reference Architecture environment is generally the same as any other GitLab environment is generally covered in other sections of this documentation.
-The reference architectures use the official GitLab Linux packages (Omnibus
-GitLab) or [Helm Charts](https://docs.gitlab.com/charts/) to install and configure the various components. The components are
-installed on separate machines (virtualized or bare metal), with machine hardware
-requirements listed in the "Configuration" column and equivalent VM standard sizes listed
-in GCP/AWS/Azure columns of each [available reference architecture](#available-reference-architectures).
+In this section you'll find links to documentation for relevant areas as well as any specific Reference Architecture notes.
-Running components on Docker (including Compose) with the same specs should be fine, as Docker is well known in terms of support.
-However, it is still an additional layer and may still add some support complexities, such as not being able to run `strace` easily in containers.
+### Upgrades
+
+Upgrades for a Reference Architecture environment is the same as any other GitLab environment.
+The main [Upgrade GitLab](../../update/index.md) section has detailed steps on how to approach this.
+
+[Zero-downtime upgrades](#zero-downtime-upgrades) are also available.
+
+NOTE:
+You should upgrade a Reference Architecture in the same order as you created it.
+
+### Scaling an environment
+
+Scaling a GitLab environment is designed to be as seamless as possible.
+
+In terms of the Reference Architectures, you would look to the next size and adjust accordingly.
+Most setups would only need vertical scaling, but there are some specific areas that can be adjusted depending on the setup:
+
+- If you're scaling from a non-HA environment to an HA environment, various components are recommended to be deployed in their HA forms:
+ - Redis to multi-node Redis w/ Redis Sentinel
+ - Postgres to multi-node Postgres w/ Consul + PgBouncer
+ - Gitaly to Gitaly Cluster w/ Praefect
+- From 10k users and higher, Redis is recommended to be split into multiple HA servers as it's single threaded.
+
+Conversely, if you have robust metrics in place that show the environment is over-provisioned you can apply the same process for
+scaling downloads. It's recommended to take an iterative approach when scaling downwards however to ensure there are no issues.
+
+### How to monitor your environment
-Other technologies, like [Docker swarm](https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/)
-are not officially supported, but can be implemented at your own risk. In that
-case, GitLab Support is not able to help you.
+To monitor your GitLab environment, you can use the tools
+[bundled with GitLab](../monitoring/index.md), but it's also possible to use third-party
+options if desired.

+ 1. Write the code to make the server hook function as expected. Git server hooks can be in any programming language.
+ Ensure the [shebang](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang_(Unix)) at the top reflects the language type. For
+ example, if the script is in Ruby the shebang is probably `#!/usr/bin/env ruby`.
+
+ - To create a single server hook, create a file with a name that matches the hook type. For example, for a
+ `pre-receive` server hook, the filename should be `pre-receive` with no extension.
+ - To create many server hooks, create a directory for the hooks that matches the hook type. For example, for a
+ `pre-receive` server hook, the directory name should be `pre-receive.d`. Put the files for the hook in that
+ directory.
+
+ 1. Ensure the server hook files are executable and do not match the backup file pattern (`*~`). The server hooks be
+ in a `custom_hooks` directory that is at the root of the tarball.
+ 1. Create the custom hooks archive with the tar command. For example, `tar -cf custom_hooks.tar custom_hooks`.
+1. Run the `hooks set` command with required options to set the Git hooks for the repository. For example,
+ `cat hooks.tar | gitaly hooks set --storage <storage> --repository <relative path> --config <config path>`.
+
+ - A path to a valid Gitaly configuration for the node is required to connect to the node and provided to the `--config` flag.
+ - Custom hooks tarball must be passed via `stdin`. For example, `cat hooks.tar | gitaly hooks set --storage <storage> --repository <relative path> --config <config path>`.

+# GitLab Silent Mode (Experiment) **(FREE SELF)**
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/9826) in GitLab 15.11. This feature is an [Experiment](../../policy/alpha-beta-support.md#experiment).
+
+Silent Mode allows you to suppress outbound communication, such as emails, from GitLab. Silent Mode is not intended to be used on environments which are in-use. Two use-cases are:
+
+- Validating Geo site promotion. You have a secondary Geo site as part of your [disaster recovery](../geo/disaster_recovery/index.md) solution. You want to regularly test promoting it to become a primary Geo site, as a best practice to ensure your disaster recovery plan actually works. But you don't want to actually perform an entire failover, since the primary site lives in a region which provides the lowest latency to your users. And you don't want to take downtime during every regular test. So, you let the primary site remain up, while you promote the secondary site. You start smoke testing the promoted site. But, the promoted site starts emailing users, the push mirrors push changes to external Git repositories, etc. This is where Silent Mode comes in. You can enable it as part of site promotion, to avoid this issue.
+- Validating GitLab backups. You set up a testing instance to test that your backups restore successfully. As part of the restore, you enable Silent Mode, for example to avoid sending invalid emails to users.
+
+## Enable Silent Mode
+
+Prerequisites:
+
+- You must have administrator access.
+
+There are two ways to enable Silent Mode:
+
+- [**API**](../../api/settings.md):
+
+ ```shell
+ curl --request PUT --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN:$ADMIN_TOKEN" "<gitlab-url>/api/v4/application/settings?silent_mode_enabled=true"
+ ```
+
+- [**Rails console**](../operations/rails_console.md#starting-a-rails-console-session):
+
+ ```ruby
+ ::Gitlab::CurrentSettings.update!(silent_mode_enabled: true)
+ ```
+
+## Disable Silent Mode

+
+- You must have administrator access.
+
+There are two ways to disable Silent Mode:

+
+- [**Rails console**](../operations/rails_console.md#starting-a-rails-console-session):
+
+ ```ruby
+ ::Gitlab::CurrentSettings.update!(silent_mode_enabled: false)
+ ```
+
+## Behavior of GitLab features in Silent Mode
+
+### Service Desk
+
+Incoming emails still raise issues, but the users who sent the emails to [Service Desk](../../user/project/service_desk.md) are not notified of issue creation or comments on their issues.
+
+### Outbound emails
+
+Outbound emails are suppressed. It may take up to a minute to take effect after enabling Silent Mode. [Issue 405433](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/405433) proposes removing this delay.

-## Important notes
-
-Note the following:
-
-- To preserve group-level relationships from imported projects, run Group Import/Export first,
- to allow project imports into the desired group structure.
-- Imported groups are given a `private` visibility level, unless imported into a parent group.
-- If imported into a parent group, subgroups inherit a similar level of visibility, unless otherwise restricted.
-- To preserve the member list and their respective permissions on imported groups,
- review the users in these groups. Make sure these users exist before importing the desired groups.

+# Group-level protected branches API **(PREMIUM SELF)**
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/110603) in GitLab 15.9 [with a flag](../administration/feature_flags.md) named `group_protected_branches`. Disabled by default.
+
+FLAG:
+On self-managed GitLab, by default this feature is not available. To make it available, ask an administrator to [enable the feature flag](../administration/feature_flags.md) named `group_protected_branches`.

+# REST API deprecations and removals
+
+The following API changes will occur when the v4 API is removed.
+
+The date of this change is unknown.
+For details, see [issue 216456](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/216456)
+and [issue 387485](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/387485).
+
+## `geo_nodes` API endpoints
+
+Breaking change. [Related issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/369140).
+
+The [`geo_nodes` API endpoints](../geo_nodes.md) are deprecated and are replaced by [`geo_sites`](../geo_sites.md).
+It is a part of the global change on [how to refer to Geo deployments](../../administration/geo/glossary.md).
+Nodes are renamed to sites across the application. The functionality of both endpoints remains the same.
+
+## `merged_by` API field
+
+Breaking change. [Related issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/350534).
+
+The `merged_by` field in the [merge request API](../merge_requests.md#list-merge-requests)
+has been deprecated in favor of the `merge_user` field which more correctly identifies who merged a merge request when
+performing actions (merge when pipeline succeeds, add to merge train) other than a simple merge.
+
+API users are encouraged to use the new `merge_user` field instead. The `merged_by` field will be removed in v5 of the GitLab REST API.
+
+## `merge_status` API field
+
+Breaking change. [Related issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/382032).
+
+The `merge_status` field in the [merge request API](../merge_requests.md#merge-status)
+has been deprecated in favor of the `detailed_merge_status` field which more correctly identifies
+all of the potential statuses that a merge request can be in. API users are encouraged to use the
+new `detailed_merge_status` field instead. The `merge_status` field will be removed in v5 of the GitLab REST API.
+
+### Null value for `private_profile` attribute in User API
+
+Breaking change. [Related issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/387005).
+
+When creating and updating users through the API, `null` was a valid value for the `private_profile` attribute, which would internally be converted to the default value. In v5 of the GitLab REST API, `null` will no longer be a valid value for this parameter, and the response will be a 400 if used. After this change, the only valid values will be `true` and `false`.
+
+## Single merge request changes API endpoint
+
+Breaking change. [Related issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/322117).
+
+The endpoint to get
+[changes from a single merge request](../merge_requests.md#get-single-merge-request-changes)
+has been deprecated in favor the
+[list merge request diffs](../merge_requests.md#list-merge-request-diffs) endpoint.
+API users are encouraged to switch to the new diffs endpoint instead.
+
+The `changes from a single merge request` endpoint will be removed in v5 of the GitLab REST API.
+
+## Managed Licenses API endpoint
+
+Breaking change. [Related issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/397067).
+
+The endpoint to get
+[all managed licenses for a given project](../managed_licenses.md)
+has been deprecated in favor the
+[License Approval policy](../../user/compliance/license_approval_policies.md) feature.
+Users who wish to continue to enforce approvals based on detected licenses are encouraged to create a new [License Approval policy](../../user/compliance/license_approval_policies.md) instead.
+
+The `managed licenses` endpoint will be removed in v5 of the GitLab REST API.
+
+## Approvers and Approver Group fields in Merge Request Approval API
+
+Breaking change. [Related issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/353097).
+
+The endpoint to get the configuration of approvals for a project returns
+empty arrays for `approvers` and `approval_groups`.
+These fields were deprecated in favor of the endpoint to
+[get project-level rules](../merge_request_approvals.md#get-project-level-rules)
+for a merge request. API users are encouraged to switch to this endpoint instead.
+
+These fields will be removed from the `get configuration` endpoint in v5 of the GitLab REST API.
+
+## Runner usage of `active` replaced by `paused`
+
+Breaking change. [Related issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/351109).
+
+Occurrences of the `active` identifier in the GitLab Runner GraphQL API endpoints will be
+renamed to `paused` in GitLab 16.0.
+
+- In v4 of the REST API, starting in GitLab 14.8, you can use the `paused` property in place of `active`
+- In v5 of the REST API, this change will affect endpoints taking or returning `active` property, such as:
+ - `GET /runners`
+ - `GET /runners/all`
+ - `GET /runners/:id` / `PUT /runners/:id`
+ - `PUT --form "active=false" /runners/:runner_id`
+ - `GET /projects/:id/runners` / `POST /projects/:id/runners`
+ - `GET /groups/:id/runners`
+
+The 16.0 release of GitLab Runner will start using the `paused` property when registering runners.
+
+## Runner status will not return `paused`
+
+Breaking change. [Related issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/344648).
+
+In a future v5 of the REST API, the endpoints for GitLab Runner will not return `paused` or `active`.
+
+A runner's status will only relate to runner contact status, such as:
+`online`, `offline`, or `not_connected`. Status `paused` or `active` will no longer appear.
+
+When checking if a runner is `paused`, API users are advised to check the boolean attribute
+`paused` to be `true` instead. When checking if a runner is `active`, check if `paused` is `false`.

+This feature is part of [Mobile DevOps](../ci/mobile_devops.md) developed by [GitLab Incubation Engineering](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/incubation/).
+The feature is still in development, but you can:
+
+- [Request a feature](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/incubation-engineering/mobile-devops/feedback/-/issues/new?issuable_template=feature_request).
+- [Report a bug](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/incubation-engineering/mobile-devops/feedback/-/issues/new?issuable_template=report_bug).
+- [Share feedback](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/incubation-engineering/mobile-devops/feedback/-/issues/new?issuable_template=general_feedback).
+
+You can securely store up to 100 files for use in CI/CD pipelines as secure files. These files are stored securely outside of your project's repository and are not version controlled. It is safe to store sensitive information in these files. Secure files support both plain text and binary file types but must be 5 MB or less.

+description: 'Cells: Admin Area'
+---
+
+<!-- vale gitlab.FutureTense = NO -->
+
+This document is a work-in-progress and represents a very early state of the
+Cells design. Significant aspects are not documented, though we expect to add
+them in the future. This is one possible architecture for Cells, and we intend to
+contrast this with alternatives before deciding which approach to implement.
+This documentation will be kept even if we decide not to implement this so that
+we can document the reasons for not choosing this approach.
+
+# Cells: Admin Area
+
+In our Cells architecture proposal we plan to share all admin related tables in
+GitLab. This allows simpler management of all Cells in one interface and reduces
+the risk of settings diverging in different Cells. This introduces challenges
+with admin pages that allow you to manage data that will be spread across all
+Cells.
+
+## 1. Definition
+
+There are consequences for admin pages that contain data that spans "the whole
+instance" as the Admin pages may be served by any Cell or possibly just 1 cell.
+There are already many parts of the Admin interface that will have data that
+spans many cells. For example lists of all Groups, Projects, Topics, Jobs,
+Analytics, Applications and more. There are also administrative monitoring
+capabilities in the Admin page that will span many cells such as the "Background
+Jobs" and "Background Migrations" pages.
+
+## 2. Data flow
+
+## 3. Proposal
+
+We will need to decide how to handle these exceptions with a few possible
+options:
+
+1. Move all these pages out into a dedicated per-cell Admin section. Probably
+ the URL will need to be routable to a single Cell like `/cells/<cell_id>/admin`,
+ then we can display this data per Cell. These pages will be distinct from
+ other Admin pages which control settings that are shared across all Cells. We
+ will also need to consider how this impacts self-managed customers and

+# Cells: Backups
+
+Each cells will take its own backups, and consequently have its own isolated
+backup / restore procedure.
+
+## 1. Definition
+
+GitLab Backup takes a backup of the PostgreSQL database used by the application,
+and also Git repository data.
+
+## 2. Data flow
+
+Each cell has a number of application databases to back up (e.g. `main`, and `ci`).
+
+Additionally, there may be cluster-wide metadata tables (e.g. `users` table)
+which is directly accesible via PostgreSQL.
+
+## 3. Proposal
+
+### 3.1. Cluster-wide metadata
+
+It is currently unknown how cluster-wide metadata tables will be accessible. We
+may choose to have cluster-wide metadata tables backed up separately, or have
+each cell back up its copy of cluster-wide metdata tables.
+
+### 3.2 Consistency
+
+#### 3.2.1 Take backups independently
+
+As each cell will communicate with each other via API, and there will be no joins
+to the users table, it should be acceptable for each cell to take a backup
+independently of each other.
+
+#### 3.2.2 Enforce snapshots
+
+We can require that each cell take a snapshot for the PostgreSQL databases at
+around the same time to allow for a consistent-enough backup.
+
+## 4. Evaluation
+
+As the number of cells increases, it will likely not be feasible to take a
+snapshot at the same time for all cells. Hence taking backups independently is
+the better option.
+
+## 4.1. Pros

+
+# Cells: CI Runners
+
+GitLab in order to execute CI jobs [GitLab Runner](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-runner/),
+very often managed by customer in their infrastructure.
+
+All CI jobs created as part of CI pipeline are run in a context of project
+it poses a challenge how to manage GitLab Runners.
+
+## 1. Definition
+
+There are 3 different types of runners:
+
+- instance-wide: runners that are registered globally with specific tags (selection criteria)
+- group runners: runners that execute jobs from a given top-level group or subprojects of that group
+- project runners: runners that execute jobs from projects or many projects: some runners might
+ have projects assigned from projects in different top-level groups.
+
+This alongside with existing data structure where `ci_runners` is a table describing
+all types of runners poses a challenge how the `ci_runners` should be managed in a Cells environment.
+
+## 2. Data flow
+
+GitLab Runners use a set of globally scoped endpoints to:
+
+- registration of a new runner via registration token `https://gitlab.com/api/v4/runners`
+ ([subject for removal](../runner_tokens/index.md)) (`registration token`)
+- requests jobs via an authenticated `https://gitlab.com/api/v4/jobs/request` endpoint (`runner token`)
+- upload job status via `https://gitlab.com/api/v4/jobs/:job_id` (`build token`)
+- upload trace via `https://gitlab.com/api/v4/jobs/:job_id/trace` (`build token`)
+- download and upload artifacts via `https://gitlab.com/api/v4/jobs/:job_id/artifacts` (`build token`)
+
+Currently three types of authentication tokens are used:
+
+- runner registration token ([subject for removal](../runner_tokens/index.md))
+- runner token representing an registered runner in a system with specific configuration (`tags`, `locked`, etc.)
+- build token representing an ephemeral token giving a limited access to updating a specific
+ job, uploading artifacts, downloading dependent artifacts, downloading and uploading
+ container registry images
+
+Each of those endpoints do receive an authentication token via header (`JOB-TOKEN` for `/trace`)
+or body parameter (`token` all other endpoints).
+
+Since the CI pipeline would be created in a context of a specific Cell it would be required
+that pick of a build would have to be processed by that particular Cell. This requires
+that build picking depending on a solution would have to be either:
+
+- routed to correct Cell for a first time
+- be made to be two phase: request build from global pool, claim build on a specific Cell using a Cell specific URL
+
+## 3. Proposal
+
+This section describes various proposals. Reader should consider that those
+proposals do describe solutions for different problems. Many or some aspects
+of those proposals might be the solution to the stated problem.
+
+### 3.1. Authentication tokens
+
+Even though the paths for CI Runners are not routable they can be made routable with
+those two possible solutions:
+
+- The `https://gitlab.com/api/v4/jobs/request` uses a long polling mechanism with
+ a ticketing mechanism (based on `X-GitLab-Last-Update` header). Runner when first
+ starts sends a request to GitLab to which GitLab responds with either a build to pick
+ by runner. This value is completely controlled by GitLab. This allows GitLab
+ to use JWT or any other means to encode `cell` identifier that could be easily
+ decodable by Router.
+- The majority of communication (in terms of volume) is using `build token` making it
+ the easiest target to change since GitLab is sole owner of the token that Runner later
+ uses for specific job. There were prior discussions about not storing `build token`
+ but rather using `JWT` token with defined scopes. Such token could encode the `cell`
+ to which router could easily route all requests.
+
+### 3.2. Request body
+
+- The most of used endpoints pass authentication token in request body. It might be desired
+ to use HTTP Headers as an easier way to access this information by Router without
+ a need to proxy requests.
+
+### 3.3. Instance-wide are Cell local
+
+We can pick a design where all runners are always registered and local to a given Cell:
+
+- Each Cell has it's own set of instance-wide runners that are updated at it's own pace
+- The project runners can only be linked to projects from the same organization
+ creating strong isolation.
+- In this model the `ci_runners` table is local to the Cell.
+- In this model we would require the above endpoints to be scoped to a Cell in some way
+ or made routable. It might be via prefixing them, adding additional Cell parameter,
+ or providing much more robust way to decode runner token and match it to Cell.
+- If routable token is used, we could move away from cryptographic random stored in
+ database to rather prefer to use JWT tokens that would encode
+- The Admin Area showing registered Runners would have to be scoped to a Cell
+
+This model might be desired since it provides strong isolation guarantees.
+This model does significantly increase maintenance overhead since each Cell is managed
+separately.
+
+This model may require adjustments to runner tags feature so that projects have consistent runner experience across cells.
+
+### 3.4. Instance-wide are cluster-wide
+
+Contrary to proposal where all runners are Cell local, we can consider that runners
+are global, or just instance-wide runners are global.
+
+However, this requires significant overhaul of system and to change the following aspects:
+
+- `ci_runners` table would likely have to be split decomposed into `ci_instance_runners`, ...
+- all interfaces would have to be adopted to use correct table
+- build queuing would have to be reworked to be two phase where each Cell would know of all pending
+ and running builds, but the actual claim of a build would happen against a Cell containing data
+- likely `ci_pending_builds` and `ci_running_builds` would have to be made `cluster-wide` tables
+ increasing likelihood of creating hotspots in a system related to CI queueing
+
+This model makes it complex to implement from engineering side. Does make some data being shared
+between Cells. Creates hotspots / scalability issues in a system (ex. during abuse) that
+might impact experience of organizations on other Cells.
+
+### 3.5. GitLab CI Daemon
+
+Another potential solution to explore is to have a dedicated service responsible for builds queueing
+owning it's database and working in a model of either sharded or celled service. There were prior
+discussions about [CI/CD Daemon](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/19435).
+
+If the service would be sharded:
+
+- depending on a model if runners are cluster-wide or cell-local this service would have to fetch
+ data from all Cells
+- if the sharded service would be used we could adapt a model of either sharing database containing
+ `ci_pending_builds/ci_running_builds` with the service
+- if the sharded service would be used we could consider a push model where each Cell pushes to CI/CD Daemon
+ builds that should be picked by Runner
+- the sharded service would be aware which Cell is responsible for processing the given build and could
+ route processing requests to designated Cell
+
+If the service would be celled:
+
+- all expectations of routable endpoints are still valid
+
+In general usage of CI Daemon does not help significantly with the stated problem. However, this offers
+a few upsides related to more efficient processing and decoupling model: push model and it opens a way
+to offer stateful communication with GitLab Runners (ex. gRPC or Websockets).
+
+## 4. Evaluation
+
+Considering all solutions it appears that solution giving the most promise is:
+
+- use "instance-wide are Cell local"
+- refine endpoints to have routable identities (either via specific paths, or better tokens)
+
+Other potential upsides is to get rid of `ci_builds.token` and rather use a `JWT token`
+that can much better and easier encode wider set of scopes allowed by CI runner.
+
+## 4.1. Pros
+
+## 4.2. Cons

+# Cells: Container Registry
+
+GitLab Container Registry is a feature allowing to store Docker Container Images
+in GitLab. You can read about GitLab integration [here](../../../user/packages/container_registry/index.md).
+
+## 1. Definition
+
+GitLab Container Registry is a complex service requiring usage of PostgreSQL, Redis
+and Object Storage dependencies. Right now there's undergoing work to introduce
+[Container Registry Metadata](../container_registry_metadata_database/index.md)
+to optimize data storage and image retention policies of Container Registry.
+
+GitLab Container Registry is serving as a container for stored data,
+but on it's own does not authenticate `docker login`. The `docker login`
+is executed with user credentials (can be `personal access token`)
+or CI build credentials (ephemeral `ci_builds.token`).
+
+Container Registry uses data deduplication. It means that the same blob
+(image layer) that is shared between many projects is stored only once.
+Each layer is hashed by `sha256`.
+
+The `docker login` does request JWT time-limited authentication token that
+is signed by GitLab, but validated by Container Registry service. The JWT
+token does store all authorized scopes (`container repository images`)
+and operation types (`push` or `pull`). A single JWT authentication token
+can be have many authorized scopes. This allows container registry and client
+to mount existing blobs from another scopes. GitLab responds only with
+authorized scopes. Then it is up to GitLab Container Registry to validate
+if the given operation can be performed.
+
+The GitLab.com pages are always scoped to project. Each project can have many
+container registry images attached.
+
+Currently in case of GitLab.com the actual registry service is served
+via `https://registry.gitlab.com`.
+
+The main identifiable problems are:
+
+- the authentication request (`https://gitlab.com/jwt/auth`) that is processed by GitLab.com
+- the `https://registry.gitlab.com` that is run by external service and uses it's own data store
+- the data deduplication, the Cells architecture with registry run in a Cell would reduce
+ efficiency of data storage
+
+## 2. Data flow
+
+### 2.1. Authorization request that is send by `docker login`
+
+```shell
+curl \
+ --user "username:password" \
+ "https://gitlab/jwt/auth?client_id=docker&offline_token=true&service=container_registry&scope=repository:gitlab-org/gitlab-build-images:push,pull"
+```
+
+Result is encoded and signed JWT token. Second base64 encoded string (split by `.`) contains JSON with authorized scopes.
+
+```json
+{"auth_type":"none","access":[{"type":"repository","name":"gitlab-org/gitlab-build-images","actions":["pull"]}],"jti":"61ca2459-091c-4496-a3cf-01bac51d4dc8","aud":"container_registry","iss":"omnibus-gitlab-issuer","iat":1669309469,"nbf":166}
+```
+
+### 2.2. Docker client fetching tags
+
+```shell
+curl \
+ -H "Accept: application/vnd.docker.distribution.manifest.v2+json" \
+ -H "Authorization: Bearer token" \
+ https://registry.gitlab.com/v2/gitlab-org/gitlab-build-images/tags/list
+
+curl \
+ -H "Accept: application/vnd.docker.distribution.manifest.v2+json" \
+ -H "Authorization: Bearer token" \
+ https://registry.gitlab.com/v2/gitlab-org/gitlab-build-images/manifests/danger-ruby-2.6.6
+```
+
+### 2.3. Docker client fetching blobs and manifests
+
+```shell
+curl \
+ -H "Accept: application/vnd.docker.distribution.manifest.v2+json" \
+ -H "Authorization: Bearer token" \
+ https://registry.gitlab.com/v2/gitlab-org/gitlab-build-images/blobs/sha256:a3f2e1afa377d20897e08a85cae089393daa0ec019feab3851d592248674b416
+```
+
+## 3. Proposal
+
+### 3.1. Shard Container Registry separately to Cells architecture
+
+Due to it's architecture it extensive architecture and in general highly scalable
+horizontal architecture it should be evaluated if the GitLab Container Registry
+should be run not in Cell, but in a Cluster and be scaled independently.
+
+This might be easier, but would definitely not offer the same amount of data isolation.
+
+### 3.2. Run Container Registry within a Cell
+
+It appears that except `/jwt/auth` which would likely have to be processed by Router
+(to decode `scope`) the container registry could be run as a local service of a Cell.
+
+The actual data at least in case of GitLab.com is not forwarded via registry,
+but rather served directly from Object Storage / CDN.
+
+Its design encodes container repository image in a URL that is easily routable.
+It appears that we could re-use the same stateless Router service in front of Container Registry
+to serve manifests and blobs redirect.
+
+The only downside is increased complexity of managing standalone registry for each Cell,
+but this might be desired approach.
+
+## 4. Evaluation
+
+There do not seem any theoretical problems with running GitLab Container Registry in a Cell.
+Service seems that can be easily made routable to work well.
+
+The practical complexities are around managing complex service from infrastructure side.
+
+## 4.1. Pros

+# Cells: Contributions: Forks
+
+[Forking workflow](../../../user/project/repository/forking_workflow.md) allows users
+to copy existing project sources into their own namespace of choice (personal or group).
+
+## 1. Definition
+
+[Forking workflow](../../../user/project/repository/forking_workflow.md) is common workflow
+with various usage patterns:
+
+- allows users to contribute back to upstream project
+- persist repositories into their personal namespace
+- copy to make changes and release as modified project
+
+Forks allow users not having write access to parent project to make changes. The forking workflow
+is especially important for the Open Source community which is able to contribute back
+to public projects. However, it is equally important in some companies which prefer the strong split
+of responsibilites and tighter access control. The access to project is restricted
+to designated list of developers.
+
+Forks enable:
+
+- tigther control of who can modify the upstream project
+- split of the responsibilites: parent project might use CI configuration connecting to production systems
+- run CI pipelines in context of fork in much more restrictive environment
+- consider all forks to be unveted which reduces risks of leaking secrets, or any other information
+ tied with the project
+
+The forking model is problematic in Cells architecture for following reasons:
+
+- Forks are clones of existing repositories, forks could be created across different organizations, Cells and Gitaly shards.
+- User can create merge request and contribute back to upstream project, this upstream project might in a different organization and Cell.
+- The merge request CI pipeline is to executed in a context of source project, but presented in a context of target project.
+
+## 2. Data flow
+
+## 3. Proposals
+
+### 3.1. Intra-Cluster forks
+
+This proposal makes us to implement forks as a intra-ClusterCell forks where communication is done via API
+between all trusted Cells of a cluster:
+
+- Forks when created, they are created always in context of user choice of group.
+- Forks are isolated from Organization.
+- Organization or group owner could disable forking across organizations or forking in general.
+- When a Merge Request is created it is created in context of target project, referencing
+ external project on another Cell.
+- To target project the merge reference is transfered that is used for presenting information
+ in context of target project.
+- CI pipeline is fetched in context of source project as it-is today, the result is fetched into
+ Merge Request of target project.
+- The Cell holding target project internally uses GraphQL to fetch status of source project
+ and include in context of the information for merge request.
+
+Upsides:
+
+- All existing forks continue to work as-is, as they are treated as intra-Cluster forks.
+
+Downsides:
+
+- The purpose of Organizations is to provide strong isolation between organizations
+ allowing to fork across does break security boundaries.
+- However, this is no different to ability of users today to clone repository to local computer
+ and push it to any repository of choice.
+- Access control of source project can be lower than those of target project. System today
+ requires that in order to contribute back the access level needs to be the same for fork and upstream.
+
+### 3.2. Forks are created in a personal namespace of the current organization
+
+Instead of creating projects across organizations, the forks are created in a user personal namespace
+tied with the organization. Example:
+
+- Each user that is part of organization receives their personal namespace. For example for `GitLab Inc.`
+ it could be `gitlab.com/organization/gitlab-inc/@ayufan`.
+- The user has to fork into it's own personal namespace of the organization.
+- The user has that many personal namespaces as many organizations it belongs to.
+- The personal namespace behaves similar to currently offered personal namespace.
+- The user can manage and create projects within a personal namespace.
+- The organization can prevent or disable usage of personal namespaces disallowing forks.
+- All current forks are migrated into personal namespace of user in Organization.
+- All forks are part of to the organization.
+- The forks are not federated features.
+- The personal namespace and forked project do not share configuration with parent project.
+
+### 3.3. Forks are created as internal projects under current project
+
+Instead of creating projects across organizations, the forks are attachments to existing projects.
+Each user forking a project receives their unique project. Example:
+
+- For project: `gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab`, forks would be created in `gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/@kamil-gitlab`.
+- Forks are created in a context of current organization, they do not cross organization boundaries
+ and are managed by the organization.
+- Tied to the user (or any other user-provided name of the fork).
+- The forks are not federated features.
+
+Downsides:
+
+- Does not answer how to handle and migrate all exisiting forks.
+- Might share current group / project settings - breaking some security boundaries.

+# Cells: Data migration
+
+It is essential for Cells architecture to provide a way to migrate data out of big Cells
+into smaller ones. This describes various approaches to provide this type of split.
+
+We also need to handle for cases where data is already violating the expected
+isolation constraints of Cells (ie. references cannot span multiple
+organizations). We know that existing features like linked issues allowed users
+to link issues across any projects regardless of their hierarchy. There are many
+similar features. All of this data will need to be migrated in some way before
+it can be split across different cells. This may mean some data needs to be
+deleted, or the feature changed and modelled slightly differently before we can
+properly split or migrate the organizations between cells.
+
+Having schema deviations across different Cells, which is a necessary
+consequence of different databases, will also impact our ability to migrate
+data between cells. Different schemas impact our ability to reliably replicate
+data across cells and especially impact our ability to validate that the data is
+correctly replicated. It might force us to only be able to move data between
+cells when the schemas are all in sync (slowing down deployments and the
+rebalancing process) or possibly only migrate from newer to older schemas which
+would be complex.

+### 3.1. Split large Cells
+
+A single Cell can only be divided into many Cells. This is based on principle
+that it is easier to create exact clone of an existing Cell in many replicas
+out of which some will be made authoritative once migrated. Keeping those
+replicas up-to date with Cell 0 is also much easier due to pre-existing
+replication solutions that can replicate the whole systems: Geo, PostgreSQL
+physical replication, etc.
+
+1. All data of an organization needs to not be divided across many Cells.
+1. Split should be doable online.
+1. New Cells cannot contain pre-existing data.
+1. N Cells contain exact replica of Cell 0.
+1. The data of Cell 0 is live replicated to as many Cells it needs to be split.
+1. Once consensus is achieved between Cell 0 and N-Cells the organizations to be migrated away
+ are marked as read-only cluster-wide.
+1. The `routes` is updated on for all organizations to be split to indicate an authoritative
+ Cell holding the most recent data, like `gitlab-org` on `cell-100`.
+1. The data for `gitlab-org` on Cell 0, and on other non-authoritative N-Cells are dormant
+ and will be removed in the future.
+1. All accesses to `gitlab-org` on a given Cell are validated about `cell_id` of `routes`
+ to ensure that given Cell is authoritative to handle the data.
+
+#### More challenges of this proposal
+
+1. There is no streaming replication capability for Elasticsearch, but you could
+ snapshot the whole Elasticsearch index and recreate, but this takes hours.
+ It could be handled by pausing Elasticsearch indexing on the initial cell during
+ the migration as indexing downtime is not a big issue, but this still needs
+ to be coordinated with the migration process
+1. Syncing Redis, Gitaly, CI Postgres, Main Postgres, registry Postgres, other
+ new data stores snapshots in an online system would likely lead to gaps
+ without a long downtime. You need to choose a sync point and at the sync
+ point you need to stop writes to perform the migration. The more data stores
+ there are to migrate at the same time the longer the write downtime for the
+ failover. We would also need to find a reliable place in the application to
+ actually block updates to all these systems with a high degree of
+ confidence. In the past we've only been confident by shutting down all rails
+ services because any rails process could write directly to any of these at
+ any time due to async workloads or other surprising code paths.
+1. How to efficiently delete all the orphaned data. Locating all `ci_builds`
+ associated with half the organizations would be very expensive if we have to
+ do joins. We haven't yet determined if we'd want to store an `organization_id`
+ column on every table, but this is the kind of thing it would be helpful for.
+
+### 3.2. Migrate organization from an existing Cell
+
+This is different to split, as we intend to perform logical and selective replication
+of data belonging to a single organization.
+
+Today this type of selective replication is only implemented by Gitaly where we can migrate
+Git repository from a single Gitaly node to another with minimal downtime.
+
+In this model we would require identifying all resources belonging to a given organization:
+database rows, object storage files, Git repositories, etc. and selectively copy them over
+to another (likely) existing Cell importing data into it. Ideally ensuring that we can
+perform logical replication live of all changed data, but change similarly to split
+which Cell is authoritative for this organization.
+
+1. It is hard to identify all resources belonging to organization.
+1. It requires either downtime for organization or a robust system to identify
+ live changes made.
+1. It likely will require a full database structure analysis (more robust than project import/export)
+ to perform selective PostgreSQL logical replication.
+
+#### More challenges of this proposal
+
+1. Logical replication is still not performant enough to keep up with our
+ scale. Even if we could use logical replication we still don't have an
+ efficient way to filter data related to a single organization without
+ joining all the way to the `organizations` table which will slow down
+ logical replication dramatically.

+
+# Cells: Database Sequences
+
+GitLab today ensures that every database row create has unique ID, allowing
+to access Merge Request, CI Job or Project by a known global ID.
+
+Cells will use many distinct and not connected databases, each of them having
+a separate IDs for most of entities.
+
+It might be desirable to retain globally unique IDs for all database rows
+to allow migrating resources between Cells in the future.
+
+## 1. Definition
+
+## 2. Data flow
+
+## 3. Proposal
+
+This are some preliminary ideas how we can retain unique IDs across the system.
+
+### 3.1. UUID
+
+Instead of using incremental sequences use UUID (128 bit) that is stored in database.
+
+- This might break existing IDs and requires adding UUID column for all existing tables.
+- This makes all indexes larger as it requires storing 128 bit instead of 32/64 bit in index.
+
+### 3.2. Use Cell index encoded in ID
+
+Since significant number of tables already use 64 bit ID numbers we could use MSB to encode
+Cell ID effectively enabling
+
+- This might limit amount of Cells that can be enabled in system, as we might decide to only
+ allocate 1024 possible Cell numbers.
+- This might make IDs to be migratable between Cells, since even if entity from Cell 1 is migrated to Cell 100
+ this ID would still be unique.
+- If resources are migrated the ID itself will not be enough to decode Cell number and we would need
+ lookup table.
+- This requires updating all IDs to 32 bits.
+
+### 3.3. Allocate sequence ranges from central place
+
+Each Cell might receive its own range of the sequences as they are consumed from a centrally managed place.
+Once Cell consumes all IDs assigned for a given table it would be replenished and a next range would be allocated.
+Ranges would be tracked to provide a faster lookup table if a random access pattern is required.
+
+- This might make IDs to be migratable between Cells, since even if entity from Cell 1 is migrated to Cell 100
+ this ID would still be unique.
+- If resources are migrated the ID itself will not be enough to decode Cell number and we would need
+ much more robust lookup table as we could be breaking previously assigned sequence ranges.
+- This does not require updating all IDs to 64 bits.
+- This adds some performance penalty to all `INSERT` statements in Postgres or at least from Rails as we need to check for the sequence number and potentially wait for our range to be refreshed from the ID server
+- The available range will need to be stored and incremented in a centralized place so that concurrent transactions cannot possibly get the same value.
+
+### 3.4. Define only some tables to require unique IDs
+
+Maybe this is acceptable only for some tables to have a globally unique IDs. It could be projects, groups
+and other top-level entities. All other tables like `merge_requests` would only offer Cell-local ID,
+but when referenced outside it would rather use IID (an ID that is monotonic in context of a given resource, like project).
+
+- This makes the ID 10000 for `merge_requests` be present on all Cells, which might be sometimes confusing
+ as for uniqueness of the resource.
+- This might make random access by ID (if ever needed) be impossible without using composite key, like: `project_id+merge_request_id`.
+- This would require us to implement a transformation/generation of new ID if we need to migrate records to another cell. This can lead to very difficult migration processes when these IDs are also used as foreign keys for other records being migrated.
+- If IDs need to change when moving between cells this means that any links to records by ID would no longer work even if those links included the `project_id`.
+- If we plan to allow these ids to not be unique and change the unique constraint to be based on a composite key then we'd need to update all foreign key references to be based on the composite key

+# Cells: Git Access
+
+This document describes impact of Cells architecture on all Git access (over HTTPS and SSH)
+patterns providing explanation of how potentially those features should be changed
+to work well with Cells.
+
+## 1. Definition
+
+Git access is done through out the application. It can be an operation performed by the system
+(read Git repository) or by user (create a new file via Web IDE, `git clone` or `git push` via command line).
+
+The Cells architecture defines that all Git repositories will be local to the Cell,
+so no repository could be shared with another Cell.
+
+The Cells architecture will require that any Git operation done can only be handled by a Cell holding
+the data. It means that any operation either via Web interface, API, or GraphQL needs to be routed
+to the correct Cell. It means that any `git clone` or `git push` operation can only be performed
+in a context of a Cell.
+
+## 2. Data flow
+
+The are various operations performed today by the GitLab on a Git repository. This describes
+the data flow how they behave today to better represent the impact.
+
+It appears that Git access does require changes only to a few endpoints that are scoped to project.
+There appear to be different types of repositories:
+
+- Project: assigned to Group
+- Wiki: additional repository assigned to Project
+- Design: similar to Wiki, additional repository assigned to Project
+- Snippet: creates a virtual project to hold repository, likely tied to the User

+ Gitaly ->> Puma: Response
+ Puma ->> Web: See CHANGELOG
+```
+
+## 3. Proposal
+
+The Cells stateless router proposal requires that any ambiguous path (that is not routable)
+will be made to be routable. It means that at least the following paths will have to be updated
+do introduce a routable entity (project, group, or organization).
+
+Change:
+
+- `/api/v4/internal/allowed` => `/api/v4/internal/projects/<gl_repository>/allowed`
+- `/api/v4/internal/pre_receive` => `/api/v4/internal/projects/<gl_repository>/pre_receive`
+- `/api/v4/internal/post_receive` => `/api/v4/internal/projects/<gl_repository>/post_receive`
+- `/api/v4/internal/lfs_authenticate` => `/api/v4/internal/projects/<gl_repository>/lfs_authenticate`
+
+Where:
+
+- `gl_repository` can be `project-1111` (`Gitlab::GlRepository`)
+- `gl_repository` in some cases might be a full path to repository as executed by GitLab Shell (`/gitlab-org/gitlab.git`)
+
+## 4. Evaluation
+
+Supporting Git repositories if a Cell can access only its own repositories does not appear to be complex.
+
+The one major complication is supporting snippets, but this likely falls in the same category as for the approach
+to support user's personal namespaces.
+
+## 4.1. Pros
+
+1. The API used for supporting HTTPS/SSH and Hooks are well defined and can easily be made routable.
+
+## 4.2. Cons
+
+1. The sharing of repositories objects is limited to the given Cell and Gitaly node.
+1. The across-Cells forks are likely impossible to be supported (discover: how this work today across different Gitaly node).

+When we introduce multiple Cells we intend to isolate all services related to

+# Cells: GraphQL
+
+GitLab extensively uses GraphQL to perform efficient data query operations.
+GraphQL due to it's nature is not directly routable. The way how GitLab uses
+it calls the `/api/graphql` endpoint, and only query or mutation of body request
+might define where the data can be accessed.
+
+## 1. Definition
+
+## 2. Data flow
+
+## 3. Proposal
+
+There are at least two main ways to implement GraphQL in Cells architecture.
+
+### 3.1. GraphQL routable by endpoint
+
+Change `/api/graphql` to `/api/organization/<organization>/graphql`.
+
+- This breaks all existing usages of `/api/graphql` endpoint
+ since the API URI is changed.
+
+### 3.2. GraphQL routable by body
+
+As part of router parse GraphQL body to find a routable entity, like `project`.
+
+- This still makes the GraphQL query be executed only in context of a given Cell
+ and not allowing the data to be merged.
+
+```json
+# Good example
+{
+ project(fullPath:"gitlab-org/gitlab") {
+ id
+ description
+ }
+}
+
+# Bad example, since Merge Request is not routable
+{
+ mergeRequest(id: 1111) {
+ iid
+ description
+ }
+}
+```
+
+### 3.3. Merging GraphQL Proxy
+
+Implement as part of router GraphQL Proxy which can parse body
+and merge results from many Cells.
+
+- This might make pagination hard to achieve, or we might assume that
+ we execute many queries of which results are merged across all Cells.
+
+```json
+{
+ project(fullPath:"gitlab-org/gitlab"){
+ id, description
+ }
+ group(fullPath:"gitlab-com") {
+ id, description
+ }
+}
+```

+
+# Cells: Organizations
+
+One of the major designs of Cells architecture is strong isolation between Groups.
+Organizations as described by this blueprint provides a way to have plausible UX
+for joining together many Groups that are isolated from the rest of systems.
+
+## 1. Definition
+
+Cells do require that all groups and projects of a single organization can
+only be stored on a single Cell since a Cell can only access data that it holds locally
+and has very limited capabilities to read information from other Cells.
+
+Cells with Organizations do require strong isolation between organizations.
+
+It will have significant implications on various user-facing features,
+like Todos, dropdowns allowing to select projects, references to other issues
+or projects, or any other social functions present at GitLab. Today those functions
+were able to reference anything in the whole system. With the introduction of
+organizations such will be forbidden.
+
+This problem definition aims to answer effort and implications required to add
+strong isolation between organizations to the system. Including features affected
+and their data processing flow. The purpose is to ensure that our solution when
+implemented consistently avoids data leakage between organizations residing on
+a single Cell.

+
+Each Cell should be able to decode each request and classify for which Cell

+
+# Cells: Schema changes
+
+When we introduce multiple Cells that own their own databases this will
+complicate the process of making schema changes to Postgres and Elasticsearch.
+Today we already need to be careful to make changes comply with our zero
+downtime deployments. For example,
+[when removing a column we need to make changes over 3 separate deployments](../../../development/database/avoiding_downtime_in_migrations.md#dropping-columns).
+We have tooling like `post_migrate` that helps with these kinds of changes to
+reduce the number of merge requests needed, but these will be complicated when
+we are dealing with deploying multiple rails applications that will be at
+different versions at any one time. This problem will be particularly tricky to
+solve for shared databases like our plan to share the `users` related tables
+among all Cells.
+
+A key benefit of Cells may be that it allows us to run different
+customers on different versions of GitLab. We may choose to update our own cell
+before all our customers giving us even more flexibility than our current
+canary architecture. But doing this means that schema changes need to have even
+more versions of backward compatibility support which could slow down
+development as we need extra steps to make schema changes.

+# Cells: Secrets
+
+Where possible, each cell should have its own distinct set of secrets.
+However, there will be some secrets that will be required to be the same for all
+cells in the cluster
+
+## 1. Definition
+
+GitLab has a lot of
+[secrets](https://docs.gitlab.com/charts/installation/secrets.html) that needs
+to be configured.
+
+Some secrets are for inter-component communication, e.g. `GitLab Shell secret`,
+and used only within a cell.
+
+Some secrets are used for features, e.g. `ci_jwt_signing_key`.
+
+## 2. Data flow
+
+## 3. Proposal
+
+1. Secrets used for features will need to be consistent across all cells, so that the UX is consistent.
+ 1. This is especially true for the `db_key_base` secret which is used for
+ encrypting data at rest in the database - so that projects that are
+ transferred to another cell will continue to work. We do not want to have
+ to re-encrypt such rows when we move projects/groups between cells.
+1. Secrets which are used for intra-cell communication only should be uniquely generated
+ per-cell.

+# Cells: Glossary
+
+We use the following terms to describe components and properties of the Cells architecture.
+
+## Cell
+
+> Pod was renamed to Cell in <https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/-/merge_requests/121163>
+
+A Cell is a set of infrastructure components that contains multiple top-level groups that belong to different organizations. The components include both datastores (PostgreSQL, Redis etc.) and stateless services (web etc.). The infrastructure components provided within a Cell are shared among organizations and their top-level groups but not shared with other Cells. This isolation of infrastructure components means that Cells are independent from each other.
+
+<img src="images/term-cell.png" height="200">
+
+### Cell properties
+
+- Each cell is independent from the others
+- Infrastructure components are shared by organizations and their top-level groups within a Cell
+- More Cells can be provisioned to provide horizontal scalability
+- A failing Cell does not lead to failure of other Cells
+- Noisy neighbor effects are limited to within a Cell
+- Cells are not visible to organizations; it is an implementation detail
+- Cells may be located in different geographical regions (for example, EU, US, JP, UK)
+
+Discouraged synonyms: GitLab instance, cluster, shard
+
+## Cluster
+
+A cluster is a collection of Cells.
+
+<img src="images/term-cluster.png" height="300">
+
+### Cluster properties
+
+- A cluster holds cluster-wide metadata, for example Users, Routes, Settings.
+
+Discouraged synonyms: whale
+
+## Organizations
+
+GitLab references [Organizations in the initial set up](../../../topics/set_up_organization.md) and users can add a (free text) organization to their profile. There is no Organization entity established in the GitLab codebase.
+
+As part of delivering Cells, we propose the introduction of an `organization` entity. Organizations would represent billable entities or customers.
+
+Organizations are a known concept, present for example in [AWS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/latest/organizing-your-aws-environment/core-concepts.html) and [GCP](https://cloud.google.com/resource-manager/docs/cloud-platform-resource-hierarchy#organizations).
+
+Organizations work under the following assumptions:
+
+1. Users care about what happens within their organizations.
+1. Features need to work within an organization.
+1. Only few features need to work across organizations.
+1. Users understand that the majority of pages they view are only scoped to a single organization at a time.
+1. Organizations are located on a single cell.
+
+![Term Organization](images/term-organization.png)
+
+### Organization properties
+
+- Top-level groups belong to organizations
+- Organizations are isolated from each other by default meaning that cross-group features will only work for group that exist within a single organization
+- User namespaces must not belong to an organization
+
+Discouraged synonyms: Billable entities, customers
+
+## Top-Level group
+
+Top-level group is the name given to the top most group of all other groups. Groups and projects are nested underneath the top-level group.
+
+Example:
+
+`https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/`:
+
+- `gitlab-org` is a `top-level group`; the root for all groups and projects of an organization
+- `gitlab` is a `project`; a project of the organization.
+
+The top-level group has served as the defacto Organization entity. With the creation of Organization, top-level groups will be [nested underneath Organizations](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/394796).
+
+Over time there won't be a distinction between a top-level group and a group. All features that make Top-level groups different from groups will move to Organization.
+
+Discouraged synonyms: Root-level namespace
+
+![Term Top-level Group](images/term-top-level-group.png)
+
+### Top-level group properties
+
+- Top-level groups belonging to an organization are located on the same Cell
+- Top-level groups can interact with other top-level groups that belong to the same organization
+
+## Users
+
+Users are available globally and not restricted to a single Cell. Users belong to a single organization, but can participate in many organizations through group and project membership with varying permissions. Inside organizations, users can create multiple top-level groups. User activity is not limited to a single organization but their contributions (for example TODOs) are only aggregated within an organization. This avoids the need for aggregating across cells.
+
+### User properties
+
+- Users are shared globally across all Cells
+- Users can create multiple top-level groups
+- Users can be a member of multiple top-level groups
+- Users belong to one organization. See [!395736](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/395736)
+- Users can be members of groups and projects in different organizations
+- Users can administer organizations
+- User activity is aggregated in an organization
+- Every user has one personal namespace

+
+# Cells: Goals
+
+## Scalability
+
+The main goal of this new shared-infrastructure architecture is to provide additional scalability for our SaaS Platform. GitLab.com is largely monolithic and we have estimated (internal) that the current architecture has scalability limitations, even when database partitioning and decomposition are taken into account.
+
+Cells provide a horizontally scalable solution because additional Cells can be created based on demand. Cells can be provisioned and tuned as needed for optimal scalability.
+
+## Increased availability
+
+A major challenge for shared-infrastructure architectures is a lack of isolation between top-level groups. This can lead to noisy neighbor effects. A organization's behavior inside a top-level group can impact all other organizations. This is highly undesirable. Cells provide isolation at the cell level. A group of organizations is fully isolated from other organizations located on a different Cell. This minimizes noisy neighbor effects while still benefiting from the cost-efficiency of shared infrastructure.
+
+Additionally, Cells provide a way to implement disaster recovery capabilities. Entire Cells may be replicated to read-only standbys with automatic failover capabilities.
+
+## A consistent experience
+
+Organizations should have the same user experience on our SaaS platform as they do on a self-managed GitLab instance.
+
+## Regions
+
+GitLab.com is only hosted within the United States of America. Organizations located in other regions have voiced demand for local SaaS offerings. Cells provide a path towards [GitLab Regions](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/6037) because Cells may be deployed within different geographies. Depending on which of the organization's data is located outside a Cell, this may solve data residency and compliance problems.
+
+## Market segment
+
+Cells would provide a solution for organizations in the small to medium business (up to 100 users) and the mid-market segment (up to 2000 users).
+(See [segmentation definitions](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/sales/field-operations/gtm-resources/#segmentation).)
+Larger organizations may benefit substantially from [GitLab Dedicated](../../../subscriptions/gitlab_dedicated/index.md).
+
+At this moment, GitLab.com has "social-network"-like capabilities that may not fit well into a more isolated organization model. Removing those features, however, possesses some challenges:
+
+1. How will existing `gitlab-org` contributors contribute to the namespace??
+1. How do we move existing top-level groups into the new model (effectively breaking their social features)?
+
+We should evaluate if the SMB and mid market segment is interested in these features, or if not having them is acceptable in most cases.
+
+## Self-managed
+
+For reasons of consistency, it is expected that self-managed instances will
+adopt the cells architecture as well. To expand, self-managed instances can
+continue with just a single Cell while supporting the option of adding additional
+Cells. Organizations, and possible User decomposition will also be adopted for
+self-managed instances.
+
+## High-level architecture problems to solve
+
+A number of technical issues need to be resolved to implement Cells (in no particular order). This section will be expanded.
+
+1. How are Cells provisioned? - [Design discussion](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/396641)
+1. What is a Cells topology? - [Design discussion](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/396641)
+1. How are users of an organization routed to the correct Cell? -
+1. How do users authenticate with Cells and Organizations? - [Design discussion](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/395736)
+1. How are Cells rebalanced?
+1. How can Cells implement disaster recovery capabilities?

+
+# Cells: Cross-section impact
+
+Cells is a fundamental architecture change that impacts other sections and stages. This section summarizes and links to other groups that may be impacted and highlights potential conflicts that need to be resolved. The Tenant Scale group is not responsible for achieving the goals of other groups but we want to ensure that dependencies are resolved.
+
+## Summary
+
+Based on discussions with other groups the net impact of introducing Cells and a new entity called organizations is mostly neutral. It may slow down development in some areas. We did not discover major blockers for other teams.
+
+1. We need to resolve naming conflicts (proposal is TBD)
+1. Cells requires introducing Organizations. Organizations are a new entity **above** top-level groups. Because this is a new entity, it may impact the ability to consolidate settings for Group::Organization and influence their decision on [how to approach introducing a an organization](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/376285#approach-2-organization-is-built-on-top-of-top-level-groups)
+1. Organizations may make it slightly easier for Fulfillment to realize their billing plans.
+
+## Impact on Group::Organization
+
+We synced with the Organization PM and Designer ([recording](https://youtu.be/b5Opn9cFWFk)) and discussed the similarities and differences between the Cells and Organization proposal ([presentation](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1FsUi22Up15b_tu6p2m-yLML3hCZ3rgrZrmzJAxUsNmU/edit?usp=sharing)).
+
+### Goals of Group::Organization
+
+As defined in the [organization documentation](../../../user/organization/index.md):
+
+1. Create an entity to manage everything you do as a GitLab administrator, including:
+ 1. Defining and applying settings to all of your groups, subgroups, and projects.
+ 1. Aggregating data from all your groups, subgroups, and projects.
+1. Reach feature parity between SaaS and self-managed installations, with all Admin Area settings moving to groups (?). Hardware controls remain on the instance level.
+
+The [organization roadmap outlines](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/368237#high-level-goals) the current goals in detail.
+
+### Potential conflicts with Cells
+
+- Organization defines a new entity as the primary organizational object for groups and projects.
+- We will only introduce one entity
+- Group::Organization highlighted the need to further validate the key assumption that users only care about what happens within their organization.
+
+## Impact on Fulfillment
+
+We synced with Fulfillment ([recording](https://youtu.be/FkQF3uF7vTY)) to discuss how Cells would impact them. Fulfillment is supportive of an entity above top-level groups. Their perspective is outline in [!5639](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/customers-gitlab-com/-/merge_requests/5639/diffs).
+
+### Goals of Fulfillment
+
+- Fulfillment has a longstanding plan to move billing from the top-level group to a level above. This would mean that a license applies for an organization and all its top-level groups.
+- Fulfillment uses Zuora for billing and would like to have a 1-to-1 relationship between an organization and their Zuora entity called BillingAccount. They want to move away from tying a license to a single user.
+- If a customer needs multiple organizations, the corresponding BillingAccounts can be rolled up into a consolidated billing account (similar to [AWS consolidated billing](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/consolidated-billing.html))
+- Ideally, a self-managed instance has a single Organization by default, which should be enough for most customers.
+- Fulfillment prefers only one additional entity.
+
+A rough representation of this is:
+
+![Cells and Fulfillment](images/pods-and-fulfillment.png)
+
+### Potential conflicts with Cells
+
+- There are no known conflicts between Fulfillment's plans and Cells

+# Cells
+
+This document is a work-in-progress and represents a very early state of the Cells design. Significant aspects are not documented, though we expect to add them in the future.
+
+Cells is a new architecture for our Software as a Service platform. This architecture is horizontally-scalable, resilient, and provides a more consistent user experience. It may also provide additional features in the future, such as data residency control (regions) and federated features.
+
+For more information about Cells, see also:
+
+- [Glossary](glossary.md)
+- [Goals](goals.md)
+- [Cross-section impact](impact.md)
+
+## Work streams
+
+We can't ship the entire Cells architecture in one go - it is too large.
+Instead, we are defining key work streams required by the project.
+
+Not all objectives need to be fulfilled to reach production readiness.
+It is expected that some objectives will not be completed for General Availability (GA),
+but will be enough to run Cells in production.
+
+### 1. Data access layer
+
+Before Cells can be run in production we need to prepare the codebase to accept the Cells architecture.
+This preparation involves:
+
+- Allowing data sharing between Cells.
+- Updating the tooling for discovering cross-Cell data traversal.
+- Defining code practices for cross-Cell data traversal.
+- Analyzing the data model to define the data affinity.
+
+Under this objective the following steps are expected:
+
+1. **Allow to share cluster-wide data with database-level data access layer.**
+
+ Cells can connect to a database containing shared data. For example:
+ application settings, users, or routing information.
+
+1. **Evaluate the efficiency of database-level access vs. API-oriented access layer.**
+
+ Reconsider the consequences of database-level data access for data migration, resiliency of updates and of interconnected systems when we share only a subset of data.
+
+1. **Cluster-unique identifiers**
+
+ Every object has a unique identifier that can be used to access data across the cluster. The IDs for allocated projects, issues and any other objects are cluster-unique.
+
+1. **Cluster-wide deletions**
+
+ If entities deleted in Cell 2 are cross-referenced, they are properly deleted or nullified across clusters. We will likely re-use existing [loose foreign keys](../../../development/database/loose_foreign_keys.md) to extend it with cross-Cells data removal.
+
+1. **Data access layer**
+
+ Ensure that a stable data-access (versioned) layer that allows to share cluster-wide data is implemented.
+
+1. **Database migration**
+
+ Ensure that migrations can be run independently between Cells, and we safely handle migrations of shared data in a way that does not impact other Cells.
+
+### 2. Essential workflows
+
+To make Cells viable we require to define and support
+essential workflows before we can consider the Cells
+to be of Beta quality. Essential workflows are meant
+to cover the majority of application functionality
+that makes the product mostly useable, but with some caveats.
+
+The current approach is to define workflows from top to bottom.
+The order defines the presumed priority of the items.
+This list is not exhaustive as we would be expecting
+other teams to help and fix their workflows after
+the initial phase, in which we fix the fundamental ones.
+
+To consider a project ready for the Beta phase, it is expected
+that all features defined below are supported by Cells.
+In the cases listed below, the workflows define a set of tables
+to be properly attributed to the feature. In some cases,
+a table with an ambiguous usage has to be broken down.
+For example: `uploads` are used to store user avatars,
+as well as uploaded attachments for comments. It would be expected
+that `uploads` is split into `uploads` (describing group/project-level attachments)
+and `global_uploads` (describing, for example, user avatars).
+
+Except for initial 2-3 quarters this work is highly parallel.
+It would be expected that **group::tenant scale** would help other
+teams to fix their feature set to work with Cells. The first 2-3 quarters
+would be required to define a general split of data and build required tooling.
+
+1. **Instance-wide settings are shared across cluster.**
+
+ The Admin Area section for most part is shared across a cluster.
+
+1. **User accounts are shared across cluster.**
+
+ The purpose is to make `users` cluster-wide.
+
+1. **User can create group.**
+
+ The purpose is to perform a targeted decomposition of `users` and `namespaces`, because the `namespaces` will be stored locally in the Cell.
+
+1. **User can create project.**
+
+ The purpose is to perform a targeted decomposition of `users` and `projects`, because the `projects` will be stored locally in the Cell.
+
+1. **User can change profile avatar that is shared in cluster.**
+
+ The purpose is to fix global uploads that are shared in cluster.
+
+1. **User can push to Git repository.**
+
+ The purpose is to ensure that essential joins from the projects table are properly attributed to be
+ Cell-local, and as a result the essential Git workflow is supported.
+
+1. **User can run CI pipeline.**
+
+ The purpose is that `ci_pipelines` (like `ci_stages`, `ci_builds`, `ci_job_artifacts`) and adjacent tables are properly attributed to be Cell-local.
+
+1. **User can create issue, merge request, and merge it after it is green.**
+
+ The purpose is to ensure that `issues` and `merge requests` are properly attributed to be `Cell-local`.
+
+1. **User can manage group and project members.**
+
+ The `members` table is properly attributed to be either `Cell-local` or `cluster-wide`.
+
+1. **User can manage instance-wide runners.**
+
+ The purpose is to scope all CI Runners to be Cell-local. Instance-wide runners in fact become Cell-local runners. The expectation is to provide a user interface view and manage all runners per Cell, instead of per cluster.
+
+1. **User is part of organization and can only see information from the organization.**
+
+ The purpose is to have many organizations per Cell, but never have a single organization spanning across many Cells. This is required to ensure that information shown within an organization is isolated, and does not require fetching information from other Cells.
+
+### 3. Additional workflows
+
+Some of these additional workflows might need to be supported, depending on the group decision.
+This list is not exhaustive of work needed to be done.
+
+1. **User can use all group-level features.**
+1. **User can use all project-level features.**
+1. **User can share groups with other groups in an organization.**
+1. **User can create system webhook.**
+1. **User can upload and manage packages.**
+1. **User can manage security detection features.**
+1. **User can manage Kubernetes integration.**
+1. TBD
+
+### 4. Routing layer
+
+The routing layer is meant to offer a consistent user experience where all Cells are presented
+under a single domain (for example, `gitlab.com`), instead of
+having to navigate to separate domains.
+
+The user will able to use `https://gitlab.com` to access Cell-enabled GitLab. Depending
+on the URL access, it will be transparently proxied to the correct Cell that can serve this particular
+information. For example:
+
+- All requests going to `https://gitlab.com/users/sign_in` are randomly distributed to all Cells.
+- All requests going to `https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/tree/master` are always directed to Cell 5, for example.
+- All requests going to `https://gitlab.com/my-username/my-project` are always directed to Cell 1.
+
+1. **Technology.**
+
+ We decide what technology the routing service is written in.
+ The choice is dependent on the best performing language, and the expected way
+ and place of deployment of the routing layer. If it is required to make
+ the service multi-cloud it might be required to deploy it to the CDN provider.
+ Then the service needs to be written using a technology compatible with the CDN provider.
+
+1. **Cell discovery.**
+
+ The routing service needs to be able to discover and monitor the health of all Cells.
+
+1. **Router endpoints classification.**
+
+ The stateless routing service will fetch and cache information about endpoints
+ from one of the Cells. We need to implement a protocol that will allow us to
+ accurately describe the incoming request (its fingerprint), so it can be classified
+ by one of the Cells, and the results of that can be cached. We also need to implement
+ a mechanism for negative cache and cache eviction.
+
+1. **GraphQL and other ambigious endpoints.**
+
+ Most endpoints have a unique sharding key: the organization, which directly
+ or indirectly (via a group or project) can be used to classify endpoints.
+ Some endpoints are ambiguous in their usage (they don't encode the sharding key),
+ or the sharding key is stored deep in the payload. In these cases, we need to decide how to handle endpoints like `/api/graphql`.
+
+### 5. Cell deployment
+
+We will run many Cells. To manage them easier, we need to have consistent
+deployment procedures for Cells, including a way to deploy, manage, migrate,
+and monitor.
+
+We are very likely to use tooling made for [GitLab Dedicated](https://about.gitlab.com/dedicated/)
+with its control planes.
+
+1. **Extend GitLab Dedicated to support GCP.**
+1. TBD
+
+### 6. Migration
+
+When we reach production and are able to store new organizations on new Cells, we need
+to be able to divide big Cells into many smaller ones.
+
+1. **Use GitLab Geo to clone Cells.**
+
+ The purpose is to use GitLab Geo to clone Cells.
+
+1. **Split Cells by cloning them.**
+
+ Once Cell is cloned we change routing information for organizations.
+ Organization will encode `cell_id`. When we update `cell_id` it will automatically
+ make the given Cell to be authoritative to handle the traffic for the given organization.
+
+1. **Delete redundant data from previous Cells.**
+
+ Since the organization is now stored on many Cells, once we change `cell_id`
+ we will have to remove data from all other Cells based on `organization_id`.
+
+## Availability of the feature
+
+We are following the [Support for Experiment, Beta, and Generally Available features](../../../policy/alpha-beta-support.md).
+
+### 1. Experiment
+
+Expectations:
+
+- We can deploy a Cell on staging or another testing environment by using a separate domain (ex. `cell2.staging.gitlab.com`)
+ using [Cell deployment](#5-cell-deployment) tooling.
+- User can create organization, group and project, and run some of the [essential workflows](#2-essential-workflows).
+- It is not expected to be able to run a router to serve all requests under a single domain.
+- We expect data-loss of data stored on additional Cells.
+- We expect to tear down and create many new Cells to validate tooling.
+
+### 2. Beta
+
+Expectations:
+
+- We can run many Cells under a single domain (ex. `staging.gitlab.com`).
+- All features defined in [essential workflows](#2-essential-workflows) are supported.
+- Not all aspects of [Routing layer](#4-routing-layer) are finalized.
+- We expect additional Cells to be stable with minimal data loss.
+
+### 3. GA
+
+Expectations:
+
+- We can run many Cells under a single domain (for example, `staging.gitlab.com`).
+- All features defined in [essential workflows](#2-essential-workflows) are supported.
+- All features of [routing layer](#4-routing-layer) are supported.
+- Most of [additional workflows](#3-additional-workflows) are supported.
+- We don't expect to support any of [migration](#6-migration) aspects.
+
+### 4. Post GA
+
+Expectations:
+
+- We support all [additional workflows](#3-additional-workflows).
+- We can [migrate](#6-migration) existing organizations onto new Cells.
+
+## Iteration plan
+
+The delivered iterations will focus on solving particular steps of a given
+key work stream.
+
+It is expected that initial iterations will rather
+be slow, because they require substantially more
+changes to prepare the codebase for data split.
+
+One iteration describes one quarter's worth of work.
+
+1. Iteration 1 - FY24Q1
+
+ - Data access layer: Initial Admin Area settings are shared across cluster.
+ - Essential workflows: Allow to share cluster-wide data with database-level data access layer
+
+1. Iteration 2 - FY24Q2
+
+ - Essential workflows: User accounts are shared across cluster.
+ - Essential workflows: User can create group.
+
+1. Iteration 3 - FY24Q3
+
+ - Essential workflows: User can create project.
+ - Essential workflows: User can push to Git repository.
+ - Cell deployment: Extend GitLab Dedicated to support GCP
+ - Routing: Technology.
+
+1. Iteration 4 - FY24Q4
+
+ - Essential workflows: User can run CI pipeline.
+ - Essential workflows: User can create issue, merge request, and merge it after it is green.
+ - Data access layer: Evaluate the efficiency of database-level access vs. API-oriented access layer
+ - Data access layer: Cluster-unique identifiers.
+ - Routing: Cell discovery.
+ - Routing: Router endpoints classification.
+
+1. Iteration 5 - FY25Q1
+
+ - TBD

+description: 'Cells Stateless Router Proposal'
+---
+
+<!-- vale gitlab.FutureTense = NO -->
+
+This document is a work-in-progress and represents a very early state of the
+Pods design. Significant aspects are not documented, though we expect to add
+them in the future. This is one possible architecture for Pods, and we intend to
+contrast this with alternatives before deciding which approach to implement.
+This documentation will be kept even if we decide not to implement this so that
+we can document the reasons for not choosing this approach.
+
+# Proposal: Stateless Router
+
+We will decompose `gitlab_users`, `gitlab_routes` and `gitlab_admin` related
+tables so that they can be shared between all cells and allow any cell to
+authenticate a user and route requests to the correct cell. Cells may receive
+requests for the resources they don't own, but they know how to redirect back
+to the correct cell.
+
+The router is stateless and does not read from the `routes` database which
+means that all interactions with the database still happen from the Rails
+monolith. This architecture also supports regions by allowing for low traffic
+databases to be replicated across regions.
+
+Users are not directly exposed to the concept of Cells but instead they see
+different data dependent on their chosen "organization".
+[Organizations](glossary.md#organizations) will be a new model introduced to enforce isolation in the
+application and allow us to decide which request route to which cell, since an
+organization can only be on a single cell.
+
+## Differences
+
+The main difference between this proposal and the one [with learning routes](proposal-stateless-router-with-routes-learning.md)
+is that this proposal always sends requests to any of the Cells. If the requests cannot be processed,
+the requests will be bounced back with relevant headers. This requires that request to be buffered.
+It allows that request decoding can be either via URI or Body of request by Rails.
+This means that each request might be sent more than once and be processed more than once as result.
+
+The [with learning routes proposal](proposal-stateless-router-with-routes-learning.md) requires that
+routable information is always encoded in URI, and the router sends a pre-flight request.
+
+## Summary in diagrams
+
+This shows how a user request routes via DNS to the nearest router and the router chooses a cell to send the request to.

+
+## Summary of changes
+
+1. Tables related to User data (including profile settings, authentication credentials, personal access tokens) are decomposed into a `gitlab_users` schema
+1. The `routes` table is decomposed into `gitlab_routes` schema
+1. The `application_settings` (and probably a few other instance level tables) are decomposed into `gitlab_admin` schema
+1. A new column `routes.cell_id` is added to `routes` table
+1. A new Router service exists to choose which cell to route a request to.
+1. A new concept will be introduced in GitLab called an organization and a user can select a "default organization" and this will be a user level setting. The default organization is used to redirect users away from ambiguous routes like `/dashboard` to organization scoped routes like `/organizations/my-organization/-/dashboard`. Legacy users will have a special default organization that allows them to keep using global resources on `Cell US0`. All existing namespaces will initially move to this public organization.
+1. If a cell receives a request for a `routes.cell_id` that it does not own it returns a `302` with `X-Gitlab-Cell-Redirect` header so that the router can send the request to the correct cell. The correct cell can also set a header `X-Gitlab-Cell-Cache` which contains information about how this request should be cached to remember the cell. For example if the request was `/gitlab-org/gitlab` then the header would encode `/gitlab-org/* => Cell US0` (for example, any requests starting with `/gitlab-org/` can always be routed to `Cell US0`
+1. When the cell does not know (from the cache) which cell to send a request to it just picks a random cell within it's region
+1. Writes to `gitlab_users` and `gitlab_routes` are sent to a primary PostgreSQL server in our `US` region but reads can come from replicas in the same region. This will add latency for these writes but we expect they are infrequent relative to the rest of GitLab.
+
+## Detailed explanation of default organization in the first iteration
+
+All users will get a new column `users.default_organization` which they can
+control in user settings. We will introduce a concept of the
+`GitLab.com Public` organization. This will be set as the default organization for all existing
+users. This organization will allow the user to see data from all namespaces in
+`Cell US0` (for example, our original GitLab.com instance). This behavior can be invisible to
+existing users such that they don't even get told when they are viewing a
+global page like `/dashboard` that it's even scoped to an organization.
+
+Any new users with a default organization other than `GitLab.com Public` will have
+a distinct user experience and will be fully aware that every page they load is
+only ever scoped to a single organization. These users can never
+load any global pages like `/dashboard` and will end up being redirected to
+`/organizations/<DEFAULT_ORGANIZATION>/-/dashboard`. This may also be the case
+for legacy APIs and such users may only ever be able to use APIs scoped to a
+organization.
+
+## Detailed explanation of Admin Area settings
+
+We believe that maintaining and synchronizing Admin Area settings will be
+frustrating and painful so to avoid this we will decompose and share all Admin Area
+settings in the `gitlab_admin` schema. This should be safe (similar to other
+shared schemas) because these receive very little write traffic.
+
+In cases where different cells need different settings (for example, the
+Elasticsearch URL), we will either decide to use a templated
+format in the relevant `application_settings` row which allows it to be dynamic
+per cell. Alternatively if that proves difficult we'll introduce a new table
+called `per_cell_application_settings` and this will have 1 row per cell to allow
+setting different settings per cell. It will still be part of the `gitlab_admin`
+schema and shared which will allow us to centrally manage it and simplify
+keeping settings in sync for all cells.
+
+## Pros
+
+1. Router is stateless and can live in many regions. We use Anycast DNS to resolve to nearest region for the user.
+1. Cells can receive requests for namespaces in the wrong cell and the user
+ still gets the right response as well as caching at the router that
+ ensures the next request is sent to the correct cell so the next request
+ will go to the correct cell
+1. The majority of the code still lives in `gitlab` rails codebase. The Router doesn't actually need to understand how GitLab URLs are composed.
+1. Since the responsibility to read and write `gitlab_users`,
+ `gitlab_routes` and `gitlab_admin` still lives in Rails it means minimal
+ changes will be needed to the Rails application compared to extracting
+ services that need to isolate the domain models and build new interfaces.
+1. Compared to a separate routing service this allows the Rails application
+ to encode more complex rules around how to map URLs to the correct cell
+ and may work for some existing API endpoints.
+1. All the new infrastructure (just a router) is optional and a single-cell
+ self-managed installation does not even need to run the Router and there are
+ no other new services.
+
+## Cons
+
+1. `gitlab_users`, `gitlab_routes` and `gitlab_admin` databases may need to be
+ replicated across regions and writes need to go across regions. We need to
+ do an analysis on write TPS for the relevant tables to determine if this is
+ feasible.
+1. Sharing access to the database from many different Cells means that they are
+ all coupled at the Postgres schema level and this means changes to the
+ database schema need to be done carefully in sync with the deployment of all
+ Cells. This limits us to ensure that Cells are kept in closely similar
+ versions compared to an architecture with shared services that have an API
+ we control.
+1. Although most data is stored in the right region there can be requests
+ proxied from another region which may be an issue for certain types
+ of compliance.
+1. Data in `gitlab_users` and `gitlab_routes` databases must be replicated in
+ all regions which may be an issue for certain types of compliance.
+1. The router cache may need to be very large if we get a wide variety of URLs
+ (for example, long tail). In such a case we may need to implement a 2nd level of
+ caching in user cookies so their frequently accessed pages always go to the
+ right cell the first time.
+1. Having shared database access for `gitlab_users` and `gitlab_routes`
+ from multiple cells is an unusual architecture decision compared to
+ extracting services that are called from multiple cells.
+1. It is very likely we won't be able to find cacheable elements of a
+ GraphQL URL and often existing GraphQL endpoints are heavily dependent on
+ ids that won't be in the `routes` table so cells won't necessarily know
+ what cell has the data. As such we'll probably have to update our GraphQL
+ calls to include an organization context in the path like
+ `/api/organizations/<organization>/graphql`.
+1. This architecture implies that implemented endpoints can only access data
+ that are readily accessible on a given Cell, but are unlikely
+ to aggregate information from many Cells.
+1. All unknown routes are sent to the latest deployment which we assume to be `Cell US0`.
+ This is required as newly added endpoints will be only decodable by latest cell.
+ This Cell could later redirect to correct one that can serve the given request.
+ Since request processing might be heavy some Cells might receive significant amount
+ of traffic due to that.
+
+## Example database configuration
+
+Handling shared `gitlab_users`, `gitlab_routes` and `gitlab_admin` databases, while having dedicated `gitlab_main` and `gitlab_ci` databases should already be handled by the way we use `config/database.yml`. We should also, already be able to handle the dedicated EU replicas while having a single US primary for `gitlab_users` and `gitlab_routes`. Below is a snippet of part of the database configuration for the Cell architecture described above.

+1. `gitlab-org` is a top level namespace and lives in `Cell US0` in the `GitLab.com Public` organization
+1. `my-company` is a top level namespace and lives in `Cell EU0` in the `my-organization` organization
+
+### Experience for paying user that is part of `my-organization`
+
+Such a user will have a default organization set to `/my-organization` and will be
+unable to load any global routes outside of this organization. They may load other
+projects/namespaces but their MR/Todo/Issue counts at the top of the page will
+not be correctly populated in the first iteration. The user will be aware of
+this limitation.
+
+#### Navigates to `/my-company/my-project` while logged in
+
+1. User is in Europe so DNS resolves to the router in Europe
+1. They request `/my-company/my-project` without the router cache, so the router chooses randomly `Cell EU1`
+1. `Cell EU1` does not have `/my-company`, but it knows that it lives in `Cell EU0` so it redirects the router to `Cell EU0`
+1. `Cell EU0` returns the correct response as well as setting the cache headers for the router `/my-company/* => Cell EU0`
+1. The router now caches and remembers any request paths matching `/my-company/*` should go to `Cell EU0`
+

+
+#### Navigates to `/my-company/my-project` while not logged in
+
+1. User is in Europe so DNS resolves to the router in Europe
+1. The router does not have `/my-company/*` cached yet so it chooses randomly `Cell EU1`
+1. `Cell EU1` redirects them through a login flow
+1. Still they request `/my-company/my-project` without the router cache, so the router chooses a random cell `Cell EU1`
+1. `Cell EU1` does not have `/my-company`, but it knows that it lives in `Cell EU0` so it redirects the router to `Cell EU0`
+1. `Cell EU0` returns the correct response as well as setting the cache headers for the router `/my-company/* => Cell EU0`
+1. The router now caches and remembers any request paths matching `/my-company/*` should go to `Cell EU0`

+```
+
+#### Navigates to `/my-company/my-other-project` after last step
+
+1. User is in Europe so DNS resolves to the router in Europe
+1. The router cache now has `/my-company/* => Cell EU0`, so the router chooses `Cell EU0`
+1. `Cell EU0` returns the correct response as well as the cache header again
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+ participant user as User
+ participant router_eu as Router EU
+ participant cell_eu0 as Cell EU0

+ cell_eu0->>user: <h1>My Project... X-Gitlab-Cell-Cache={path_prefix:/my-company/}
+```
+
+#### Navigates to `/gitlab-org/gitlab` after last step
+
+1. User is in Europe so DNS resolves to the router in Europe
+1. The router has no cached value for this URL so randomly chooses `Cell EU0`
+1. `Cell EU0` redirects the router to `Cell US0`
+1. `Cell US0` returns the correct response as well as the cache header again
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+ participant user as User
+ participant router_eu as Router EU
+ participant cell_eu0 as Cell EU0
+ participant cell_us0 as Cell US0
+ user->>router_eu: GET /gitlab-org/gitlab
+ router_eu->>cell_eu0: GET /gitlab-org/gitlab
+ cell_eu0->>router_eu: 302 /gitlab-org/gitlab X-Gitlab-Cell-Redirect={cell:Cell US0}
+ router_eu->>cell_us0: GET /gitlab-org/gitlab
+ cell_us0->>user: <h1>GitLab.org... X-Gitlab-Cell-Cache={path_prefix:/gitlab-org/}
+```
+
+In this case the user is not on their "default organization" so their TODO
+counter will not include their normal todos. We may choose to highlight this in
+the UI somewhere. A future iteration may be able to fetch that for them from
+their default organization.
+
+#### Navigates to `/`
+
+1. User is in Europe so DNS resolves to the router in Europe
+1. Router does not have a cache for `/` route (specifically rails never tells it to cache this route)
+1. The Router choose `Cell EU0` randomly
+1. The Rails application knows the users default organization is `/my-organization`, so
+ it redirects the user to `/organizations/my-organization/-/dashboard`
+1. The Router has a cached value for `/organizations/my-organization/*` so it then sends the
+ request to `POD EU0`
+1. `Cell EU0` serves up a new page `/organizations/my-organization/-/dashboard` which is the same
+ dashboard view we have today but scoped to an organization clearly in the UI
+1. The user is (optionally) presented with a message saying that data on this page is only
+ from their default organization and that they can change their default
+ organization if it's not right.
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+ participant user as User
+ participant router_eu as Router EU
+ participant cell_eu0 as Cell EU0
+ user->>router_eu: GET /
+ router_eu->>cell_eu0: GET /
+ cell_eu0->>user: 302 /organizations/my-organization/-/dashboard
+ user->>router: GET /organizations/my-organization/-/dashboard
+ router->>cell_eu0: GET /organizations/my-organization/-/dashboard
+ cell_eu0->>user: <h1>My Company Dashboard... X-Gitlab-Cell-Cache={path_prefix:/organizations/my-organization/}
+```
+
+#### Navigates to `/dashboard`
+
+As above, they will end up on `/organizations/my-organization/-/dashboard` as
+the rails application will already redirect `/` to the dashboard page.
+
+### Navigates to `/not-my-company/not-my-project` while logged in (but they don't have access since this project/group is private)
+
+1. User is in Europe so DNS resolves to the router in Europe
+1. The router knows that `/not-my-company` lives in `Cell US1` so sends the request to this
+1. The user does not have access so `Cell US1` returns 404
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+ participant user as User
+ participant router_eu as Router EU
+ participant cell_us1 as Cell US1
+ user->>router_eu: GET /not-my-company/not-my-project
+ router_eu->>cell_us1: GET /not-my-company/not-my-project
+ cell_us1->>user: 404
+```
+
+#### Creates a new top level namespace
+
+The user will be asked which organization they want the namespace to belong to.
+If they select `my-organization` then it will end up on the same cell as all
+other namespaces in `my-organization`. If they select nothing we default to
+`GitLab.com Public` and it is clear to the user that this is isolated from
+their existing organization such that they won't be able to see data from both
+on a single page.
+
+### Experience for GitLab team member that is part of `/gitlab-org`
+
+Such a user is considered a legacy user and has their default organization set to
+`GitLab.com Public`. This is a "meta" organization that does not really exist but
+the Rails application knows to interpret this organization to mean that they are
+allowed to use legacy global functionality like `/dashboard` to see data across
+namespaces located on `Cell US0`. The rails backend also knows that the default cell to render any ambiguous
+routes like `/dashboard` is `Cell US0`. Lastly the user will be allowed to
+navigate to organizations on another cell like `/my-organization` but when they do the
+user will see a message indicating that some data may be missing (for example, the
+MRs/Issues/Todos) counts.
+
+#### Navigates to `/gitlab-org/gitlab` while not logged in
+
+1. User is in the US so DNS resolves to the US router
+1. The router knows that `/gitlab-org` lives in `Cell US0` so sends the request
+ to this cell
+1. `Cell US0` serves up the response
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+ participant user as User
+ participant router_us as Router US
+ participant cell_us0 as Cell US0
+ user->>router_us: GET /gitlab-org/gitlab
+ router_us->>cell_us0: GET /gitlab-org/gitlab
+ cell_us0->>user: <h1>GitLab.org... X-Gitlab-Cell-Cache={path_prefix:/gitlab-org/}
+```
+
+#### Navigates to `/`
+
+1. User is in US so DNS resolves to the router in US
+1. Router does not have a cache for `/` route (specifically rails never tells it to cache this route)
+1. The Router chooses `Cell US1` randomly
+1. The Rails application knows the users default organization is `GitLab.com Public`, so
+ it redirects the user to `/dashboards` (only legacy users can see
+ `/dashboard` global view)
+1. Router does not have a cache for `/dashboard` route (specifically rails never tells it to cache this route)
+1. The Router chooses `Cell US1` randomly
+1. The Rails application knows the users default organization is `GitLab.com Public`, so
+ it allows the user to load `/dashboards` (only legacy users can see
+ `/dashboard` global view) and redirects to router the legacy cell which is `Cell US0`
+1. `Cell US0` serves up the global view dashboard page `/dashboard` which is the same
+ dashboard view we have today
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+ participant user as User
+ participant router_us as Router US
+ participant cell_us0 as Cell US0
+ participant cell_us1 as Cell US1
+ user->>router_us: GET /
+ router_us->>cell_us1: GET /
+ cell_us1->>user: 302 /dashboard
+ user->>router_us: GET /dashboard
+ router_us->>cell_us1: GET /dashboard
+ cell_us1->>router_us: 302 /dashboard X-Gitlab-Cell-Redirect={cell:Cell US0}
+ router_us->>cell_us0: GET /dashboard
+ cell_us0->>user: <h1>Dashboard...
+```
+
+#### Navigates to `/my-company/my-other-project` while logged in (but they don't have access since this project is private)
+
+They get a 404.
+
+### Experience for non-authenticated users
+
+Flow is similar to authenticated users except global routes like `/dashboard` will
+redirect to the login page as there is no default organization to choose from.
+
+### A new customers signs up
+
+They will be asked if they are already part of an organization or if they'd
+like to create one. If they choose neither they end up no the default
+`GitLab.com Public` organization.
+
+### An organization is moved from 1 cell to another
+
+TODO
+
+### GraphQL/API requests which don't include the namespace in the URL
+
+TODO
+
+### The autocomplete suggestion functionality in the search bar which remembers recent issues/MRs
+
+TODO
+
+### Global search
+
+TODO
+
+## Administrator
+
+### Loads `/admin` page
+
+1. Router picks a random cell `Cell US0`
+1. Cell US0 redirects user to `/admin/cells/cellus0`
+1. Cell US0 renders an Admin Area page and also returns a cache header to cache `/admin/cellss/cellus0/* => Cell US0`. The Admin Area page contains a dropdown list showing other cells they could select and it changes the query parameter.
+
+Admin Area settings in Postgres are all shared across all cells to avoid
+divergence but we still make it clear in the URL and UI which cell is serving
+the Admin Area page as there is dynamic data being generated from these pages and
+the operator may want to view a specific cell.
+
+## More Technical Problems To Solve
+
+### Replicating User Sessions Between All Cells
+
+Today user sessions live in Redis but each cell will have their own Redis instance. We already use a dedicated Redis instance for sessions so we could consider sharing this with all cells like we do with `gitlab_users` PostgreSQL database. But an important consideration will be latency as we would still want to mostly fetch sessions from the same region.
+
+An alternative might be that user sessions get moved to a JWT payload that encodes all the session data but this has downsides. For example, it is difficult to expire a user session, when their password changes or for other reasons, if the session lives in a JWT controlled by the user.
+
+### How do we migrate between Cells
+
+Migrating data between cells will need to factor all data stores:
+
+1. PostgreSQL
+1. Redis Shared State
+1. Gitaly
+1. Elasticsearch
+
+### Is it still possible to leak the existence of private groups via a timing attack?
+
+If you have router in EU, and you know that EU router by default redirects
+to EU located Cells, you know their latency (lets assume 10 ms). Now, if your
+request is bounced back and redirected to US which has different latency
+(lets assume that roundtrip will be around 60 ms) you can deduce that 404 was
+returned by US Cell and know that your 404 is in fact 403.
+
+We may defer this until we actually implement a cell in a different region. Such timing attacks are already theoretically possible with the way we do permission checks today but the timing difference is probably too small to be able to detect.
+
+One technique to mitigate this risk might be to have the router add a random
+delay to any request that returns 404 from a cell.
+
+## Should runners be shared across all cells?
+
+We have 2 options and we should decide which is easier:
+
+1. Decompose runner registration and queuing tables and share them across all
+ cells. This may have implications for scalability, and we'd need to consider
+ if this would include group/project runners as this may have scalability
+ concerns as these are high traffic tables that would need to be shared.
+1. Runners are registered per-cell and, we probably have a separate fleet of
+ runners for every cell or just register the same runners to many cells which
+ may have implications for queueing
+
+## How do we guarantee unique ids across all cells for things that cannot conflict?
+
+This project assumes at least namespaces and projects have unique ids across
+all cells as many requests need to be routed based on their ID. Since those
+tables are across different databases then guaranteeing a unique ID will
+require a new solution. There are likely other tables where unique IDs are
+necessary and depending on how we resolve routing for GraphQL and other APIs
+and other design goals it may be determined that we want the primary key to be
+unique for all tables.

+description: 'Cells Stateless Router Proposal'
+---
+
+<!-- vale gitlab.FutureTense = NO -->
+
+This document is a work-in-progress and represents a very early state of the
+Cells design. Significant aspects are not documented, though we expect to add
+them in the future. This is one possible architecture for Cells, and we intend to
+contrast this with alternatives before deciding which approach to implement.
+This documentation will be kept even if we decide not to implement this so that
+we can document the reasons for not choosing this approach.
+
+# Proposal: Stateless Router
+
+We will decompose `gitlab_users`, `gitlab_routes` and `gitlab_admin` related
+tables so that they can be shared between all cells and allow any cell to
+authenticate a user and route requests to the correct cell. Cells may receive
+requests for the resources they don't own, but they know how to redirect back
+to the correct cell.
+
+The router is stateless and does not read from the `routes` database which
+means that all interactions with the database still happen from the Rails
+monolith. This architecture also supports regions by allowing for low traffic
+databases to be replicated across regions.
+
+Users are not directly exposed to the concept of Cells but instead they see
+different data dependent on their chosen "organization".
+[Organizations](glossary.md#organizations) will be a new model introduced to enforce isolation in the
+application and allow us to decide which request route to which cell, since an
+organization can only be on a single cell.
+
+## Differences
+
+The main difference between this proposal and one [with buffering requests](proposal-stateless-router-with-buffering-requests.md)
+is that this proposal uses a pre-flight API request (`/api/v4/cells/learn`) to redirect the request body to the correct Cell.
+This means that each request is sent exactly once to be processed, but the URI is used to decode which Cell it should be directed.
+
+## Summary in diagrams
+
+This shows how a user request routes via DNS to the nearest router and the router chooses a cell to send the request to.
+
+```mermaid
+graph TD;
+ user((User));
+ dns[DNS];
+ router_us(Router);
+ router_eu(Router);

+ end
+```
+
+### More detail
+
+This shows that the router can actually send requests to any cell. The user will
+get the closest router to them geographically.

+
+### Even more detail

+This shows the databases. `gitlab_users` and `gitlab_routes` exist only in the
+US region but are replicated to other regions. Replication does not have an
+arrow because it's too hard to read the diagram.

+
+## Summary of changes
+
+1. Tables related to User data (including profile settings, authentication credentials, personal access tokens) are decomposed into a `gitlab_users` schema
+1. The `routes` table is decomposed into `gitlab_routes` schema
+1. The `application_settings` (and probably a few other instance level tables) are decomposed into `gitlab_admin` schema
+1. A new column `routes.cell_id` is added to `routes` table
+1. A new Router service exists to choose which cell to route a request to.
+1. If a router receives a new request it will send `/api/v4/cells/learn?method=GET&path_info=/group-org/project` to learn which Cell can process it
+1. A new concept will be introduced in GitLab called an organization
+1. We require all existing endpoints to be routable by URI, or be fixed to a specific Cell for processing. This requires changing ambiguous endpoints like `/dashboard` to be scoped like `/organizations/my-organization/-/dashboard`
+1. Endpoints like `/admin` would be routed always to the specific Cell, like `cell_0`
+1. Each Cell can respond to `/api/v4/cells/learn` and classify each endpoint
+1. Writes to `gitlab_users` and `gitlab_routes` are sent to a primary PostgreSQL server in our `US` region but reads can come from replicas in the same region. This will add latency for these writes but we expect they are infrequent relative to the rest of GitLab.
+
+## Pre-flight request learning
+
+While processing a request the URI will be decoded and a pre-flight request
+will be sent for each non-cached endpoint.
+
+When asking for the endpoint GitLab Rails will return information about
+the routable path. GitLab Rails will decode `path_info` and match it to
+an existing endpoint and find a routable entity (like project). The router will
+treat this as short-lived cache information.
+
+1. Prefix match: `/api/v4/cells/learn?method=GET&path_info=/gitlab-org/gitlab-test/-/issues`
+
+ ```json
+ {
+ "path": "/gitlab-org/gitlab-test",
+ "cell": "cell_0",
+ "source": "routable"
+ }
+ ```
+
+1. Some endpoints might require an exact match: `/api/v4/cells/learn?method=GET&path_info=/-/profile`
+
+ ```json
+ {
+ "path": "/-/profile",
+ "cell": "cell_0",
+ "source": "fixed",
+ "exact": true
+ }
+ ```
+
+## Detailed explanation of default organization in the first iteration
+
+All users will get a new column `users.default_organization` which they can
+control in user settings. We will introduce a concept of the
+`GitLab.com Public` organization. This will be set as the default organization for all existing
+users. This organization will allow the user to see data from all namespaces in
+`Cell US0` (ie. our original GitLab.com instance). This behavior can be invisible to
+existing users such that they don't even get told when they are viewing a
+global page like `/dashboard` that it's even scoped to an organization.
+
+Any new users with a default organization other than `GitLab.com Public` will have
+a distinct user experience and will be fully aware that every page they load is
+only ever scoped to a single organization. These users can never
+load any global pages like `/dashboard` and will end up being redirected to
+`/organizations/<DEFAULT_ORGANIZATION>/-/dashboard`. This may also be the case
+for legacy APIs and such users may only ever be able to use APIs scoped to a
+organization.
+
+## Detailed explanation of Admin Area settings
+
+We believe that maintaining and synchronizing Admin Area settings will be
+frustrating and painful so to avoid this we will decompose and share all Admin Area
+settings in the `gitlab_admin` schema. This should be safe (similar to other
+shared schemas) because these receive very little write traffic.
+
+In cases where different cells need different settings (eg. the
+Elasticsearch URL), we will either decide to use a templated
+format in the relevant `application_settings` row which allows it to be dynamic
+per cell. Alternatively if that proves difficult we'll introduce a new table
+called `per_cell_application_settings` and this will have 1 row per cell to allow
+setting different settings per cell. It will still be part of the `gitlab_admin`
+schema and shared which will allow us to centrally manage it and simplify
+keeping settings in sync for all cells.
+
+## Pros
+
+1. Router is stateless and can live in many regions. We use Anycast DNS to resolve to nearest region for the user.
+1. Cells can receive requests for namespaces in the wrong cell and the user
+ still gets the right response as well as caching at the router that
+ ensures the next request is sent to the correct cell so the next request
+ will go to the correct cell
+1. The majority of the code still lives in `gitlab` rails codebase. The Router doesn't actually need to understand how GitLab URLs are composed.
+1. Since the responsibility to read and write `gitlab_users`,
+ `gitlab_routes` and `gitlab_admin` still lives in Rails it means minimal
+ changes will be needed to the Rails application compared to extracting
+ services that need to isolate the domain models and build new interfaces.
+1. Compared to a separate routing service this allows the Rails application
+ to encode more complex rules around how to map URLs to the correct cell
+ and may work for some existing API endpoints.
+1. All the new infrastructure (just a router) is optional and a single-cell
+ self-managed installation does not even need to run the Router and there are
+ no other new services.
+
+## Cons
+
+1. `gitlab_users`, `gitlab_routes` and `gitlab_admin` databases may need to be
+ replicated across regions and writes need to go across regions. We need to
+ do an analysis on write TPS for the relevant tables to determine if this is
+ feasible.
+1. Sharing access to the database from many different Cells means that they are
+ all coupled at the Postgres schema level and this means changes to the
+ database schema need to be done carefully in sync with the deployment of all
+ Cells. This limits us to ensure that Cells are kept in closely similar
+ versions compared to an architecture with shared services that have an API
+ we control.
+1. Although most data is stored in the right region there can be requests
+ proxied from another region which may be an issue for certain types
+ of compliance.
+1. Data in `gitlab_users` and `gitlab_routes` databases must be replicated in
+ all regions which may be an issue for certain types of compliance.
+1. The router cache may need to be very large if we get a wide variety of URLs
+ (ie. long tail). In such a case we may need to implement a 2nd level of
+ caching in user cookies so their frequently accessed pages always go to the
+ right cell the first time.
+1. Having shared database access for `gitlab_users` and `gitlab_routes`
+ from multiple cells is an unusual architecture decision compared to
+ extracting services that are called from multiple cells.
+1. It is very likely we won't be able to find cacheable elements of a
+ GraphQL URL and often existing GraphQL endpoints are heavily dependent on
+ ids that won't be in the `routes` table so cells won't necessarily know
+ what cell has the data. As such we'll probably have to update our GraphQL
+ calls to include an organization context in the path like
+ `/api/organizations/<organization>/graphql`.
+1. This architecture implies that implemented endpoints can only access data
+ that are readily accessible on a given Cell, but are unlikely
+ to aggregate information from many Cells.
+1. All unknown routes are sent to the latest deployment which we assume to be `Cell US0`.
+ This is required as newly added endpoints will be only decodable by latest cell.
+ Likely this is not a problem for the `/cells/learn` is it is lightweight
+ to process and this should not cause a performance impact.
+
+## Example database configuration
+
+Handling shared `gitlab_users`, `gitlab_routes` and `gitlab_admin` databases, while having dedicated `gitlab_main` and `gitlab_ci` databases should already be handled by the way we use `config/database.yml`. We should also, already be able to handle the dedicated EU replicas while having a single US primary for `gitlab_users` and `gitlab_routes`. Below is a snippet of part of the database configuration for the Cell architecture described above.
+
+**Cell US0**:
+
+```yaml
+# config/database.yml
+production:
+ main:
+ host: postgres-main.cell-us0.primary.consul
+ load_balancing:
+ discovery: postgres-main.cell-us0.replicas.consul
+ ci:
+ host: postgres-ci.cell-us0.primary.consul
+ load_balancing:
+ discovery: postgres-ci.cell-us0.replicas.consul
+ users:
+ host: postgres-users-primary.consul
+ load_balancing:
+ discovery: postgres-users-replicas.us.consul
+ routes:
+ host: postgres-routes-primary.consul
+ load_balancing:
+ discovery: postgres-routes-replicas.us.consul
+ admin:
+ host: postgres-admin-primary.consul
+ load_balancing:
+ discovery: postgres-admin-replicas.us.consul
+```
+
+**Cell EU0**:
+
+```yaml
+# config/database.yml
+production:
+ main:
+ host: postgres-main.cell-eu0.primary.consul
+ load_balancing:
+ discovery: postgres-main.cell-eu0.replicas.consul
+ ci:
+ host: postgres-ci.cell-eu0.primary.consul
+ load_balancing:
+ discovery: postgres-ci.cell-eu0.replicas.consul
+ users:
+ host: postgres-users-primary.consul
+ load_balancing:
+ discovery: postgres-users-replicas.eu.consul
+ routes:
+ host: postgres-routes-primary.consul
+ load_balancing:
+ discovery: postgres-routes-replicas.eu.consul
+ admin:
+ host: postgres-admin-primary.consul
+ load_balancing:
+ discovery: postgres-admin-replicas.eu.consul
+```
+
+## Request flows
+
+1. `gitlab-org` is a top level namespace and lives in `Cell US0` in the `GitLab.com Public` organization
+1. `my-company` is a top level namespace and lives in `Cell EU0` in the `my-organization` organization
+
+### Experience for paying user that is part of `my-organization`
+
+Such a user will have a default organization set to `/my-organization` and will be
+unable to load any global routes outside of this organization. They may load other
+projects/namespaces but their MR/Todo/Issue counts at the top of the page will
+not be correctly populated in the first iteration. The user will be aware of
+this limitation.
+
+#### Navigates to `/my-company/my-project` while logged in
+
+1. User is in Europe so DNS resolves to the router in Europe
+1. They request `/my-company/my-project` without the router cache, so the router chooses randomly `Cell EU1`
+1. The `/cells/learn` is sent to `Cell EU1`, which responds that resource lives on `Cell EU0`
+1. `Cell EU0` returns the correct response
+1. The router now caches and remembers any request paths matching `/my-company/*` should go to `Cell EU0`
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+ participant user as User
+ participant router_eu as Router EU
+ participant cell_eu0 as Cell EU0
+ participant cell_eu1 as Cell EU1
+ user->>router_eu: GET /my-company/my-project
+ router_eu->>cell_eu1: /api/v4/cells/learn?method=GET&path_info=/my-company/my-project
+ cell_eu1->>router_eu: {path: "/my-company", cell: "cell_eu0", source: "routable"}
+ router_eu->>cell_eu0: GET /my-company/my-project
+ cell_eu0->>user: <h1>My Project...
+```
+
+#### Navigates to `/my-company/my-project` while not logged in
+
+1. User is in Europe so DNS resolves to the router in Europe
+1. The router does not have `/my-company/*` cached yet so it chooses randomly `Cell EU1`
+1. The `/cells/learn` is sent to `Cell EU1`, which responds that resource lives on `Cell EU0`
+1. `Cell EU0` redirects them through a login flow
+1. User requests `/users/sign_in`, uses random Cell to run `/cells/learn`
+1. The `Cell EU1` responds with `cell_0` as a fixed route
+1. User after login requests `/my-company/my-project` which is cached and stored in `Cell EU0`
+1. `Cell EU0` returns the correct response
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+ participant user as User
+ participant router_eu as Router EU
+ participant cell_eu0 as Cell EU0
+ participant cell_eu1 as Cell EU1
+ user->>router_eu: GET /my-company/my-project
+ router_eu->>cell_eu1: /api/v4/cells/learn?method=GET&path_info=/my-company/my-project

+ router_eu->>cell_eu0: GET /my-company/my-project
+ router_eu->>cell_eu0: GET /my-company/my-project
+ cell_eu0->>user: <h1>My Project...
+```
+
+#### Navigates to `/my-company/my-other-project` after last step
+
+1. User is in Europe so DNS resolves to the router in Europe
+1. The router cache now has `/my-company/* => Cell EU0`, so the router chooses `Cell EU0`
+1. `Cell EU0` returns the correct response as well as the cache header again
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+ participant user as User
+ participant router_eu as Router EU
+ participant cell_eu0 as Cell EU0
+ participant cell_eu1 as Cell EU1
+ user->>router_eu: GET /my-company/my-project
+ router_eu->>cell_eu0: GET /my-company/my-project
+ cell_eu0->>user: <h1>My Project...
+```
+
+#### Navigates to `/gitlab-org/gitlab` after last step
+
+1. User is in Europe so DNS resolves to the router in Europe
+1. The router has no cached value for this URL so randomly chooses `Cell EU0`
+1. `Cell EU0` redirects the router to `Cell US0`
+1. `Cell US0` returns the correct response as well as the cache header again
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+ participant user as User
+ participant router_eu as Router EU
+ participant cell_eu0 as Cell EU0
+ participant cell_us0 as Cell US0
+ user->>router_eu: GET /gitlab-org/gitlab
+ router_eu->>cell_eu0: /api/v4/cells/learn?method=GET&path_info=/gitlab-org/gitlab
+ cell_eu0->>router_eu: {path: "/gitlab-org", cell: "cell_us0", source: "routable"}
+ router_eu->>cell_us0: GET /gitlab-org/gitlab
+ cell_us0->>user: <h1>GitLab.org...
+```
+
+In this case the user is not on their "default organization" so their TODO
+counter will not include their normal todos. We may choose to highlight this in
+the UI somewhere. A future iteration may be able to fetch that for them from
+their default organization.
+
+#### Navigates to `/`
+
+1. User is in Europe so DNS resolves to the router in Europe
+1. Router does not have a cache for `/` route (specifically rails never tells it to cache this route)
+1. The Router choose `Cell EU0` randomly
+1. The Rails application knows the users default organization is `/my-organization`, so
+ it redirects the user to `/organizations/my-organization/-/dashboard`
+1. The Router has a cached value for `/organizations/my-organization/*` so it then sends the
+ request to `POD EU0`
+1. `Cell EU0` serves up a new page `/organizations/my-organization/-/dashboard` which is the same
+ dashboard view we have today but scoped to an organization clearly in the UI
+1. The user is (optionally) presented with a message saying that data on this page is only
+ from their default organization and that they can change their default
+ organization if it's not right.
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+ participant user as User
+ participant router_eu as Router EU
+ participant cell_eu0 as Cell EU0
+ user->>router_eu: GET /
+ router_eu->>cell_eu0: GET /
+ cell_eu0->>user: 302 /organizations/my-organization/-/dashboard
+ user->>router: GET /organizations/my-organization/-/dashboard
+ router->>cell_eu0: GET /organizations/my-organization/-/dashboard
+ cell_eu0->>user: <h1>My Company Dashboard... X-Gitlab-Cell-Cache={path_prefix:/organizations/my-organization/}
+```
+
+#### Navigates to `/dashboard`
+
+As above, they will end up on `/organizations/my-organization/-/dashboard` as
+the rails application will already redirect `/` to the dashboard page.
+
+### Navigates to `/not-my-company/not-my-project` while logged in (but they don't have access since this project/group is private)
+
+1. User is in Europe so DNS resolves to the router in Europe
+1. The router knows that `/not-my-company` lives in `Cell US1` so sends the request to this
+1. The user does not have access so `Cell US1` returns 404
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+ participant user as User
+ participant router_eu as Router EU
+ participant cell_us1 as Cell US1
+ user->>router_eu: GET /not-my-company/not-my-project
+ router_eu->>cell_us1: GET /not-my-company/not-my-project
+ cell_us1->>user: 404
+```
+
+#### Creates a new top level namespace
+
+The user will be asked which organization they want the namespace to belong to.
+If they select `my-organization` then it will end up on the same cell as all
+other namespaces in `my-organization`. If they select nothing we default to
+`GitLab.com Public` and it is clear to the user that this is isolated from
+their existing organization such that they won't be able to see data from both
+on a single page.
+
+### Experience for GitLab team member that is part of `/gitlab-org`
+
+Such a user is considered a legacy user and has their default organization set to
+`GitLab.com Public`. This is a "meta" organization that does not really exist but
+the Rails application knows to interpret this organization to mean that they are
+allowed to use legacy global functionality like `/dashboard` to see data across
+namespaces located on `Cell US0`. The rails backend also knows that the default cell to render any ambiguous
+routes like `/dashboard` is `Cell US0`. Lastly the user will be allowed to
+navigate to organizations on another cell like `/my-organization` but when they do the
+user will see a message indicating that some data may be missing (eg. the
+MRs/Issues/Todos) counts.
+
+#### Navigates to `/gitlab-org/gitlab` while not logged in
+
+1. User is in the US so DNS resolves to the US router
+1. The router knows that `/gitlab-org` lives in `Cell US0` so sends the request
+ to this cell
+1. `Cell US0` serves up the response
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+ participant user as User
+ participant router_us as Router US
+ participant cell_us0 as Cell US0
+ user->>router_us: GET /gitlab-org/gitlab
+ router_us->>cell_us0: GET /gitlab-org/gitlab
+ cell_us0->>user: <h1>GitLab.org...
+```
+
+#### Navigates to `/`
+
+1. User is in US so DNS resolves to the router in US
+1. Router does not have a cache for `/` route (specifically rails never tells it to cache this route)
+1. The Router chooses `Cell US1` randomly
+1. The Rails application knows the users default organization is `GitLab.com Public`, so
+ it redirects the user to `/dashboards` (only legacy users can see
+ `/dashboard` global view)
+1. Router does not have a cache for `/dashboard` route (specifically rails never tells it to cache this route)
+1. The Router chooses `Cell US1` randomly
+1. The Rails application knows the users default organization is `GitLab.com Public`, so
+ it allows the user to load `/dashboards` (only legacy users can see
+ `/dashboard` global view) and redirects to router the legacy cell which is `Cell US0`
+1. `Cell US0` serves up the global view dashboard page `/dashboard` which is the same
+ dashboard view we have today
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+ participant user as User
+ participant router_us as Router US
+ participant cell_us0 as Cell US0
+ participant cell_us1 as Cell US1
+ user->>router_us: GET /
+ router_us->>cell_us1: GET /
+ cell_us1->>user: 302 /dashboard
+ user->>router_us: GET /dashboard
+ router_us->>cell_us1: /api/v4/cells/learn?method=GET&path_info=/dashboard
+ cell_us1->>router_us: {path: "/dashboard", cell: "cell_us0", source: "routable"}
+ router_us->>cell_us0: GET /dashboard
+ cell_us0->>user: <h1>Dashboard...
+```
+
+#### Navigates to `/my-company/my-other-project` while logged in (but they don't have access since this project is private)
+
+They get a 404.
+
+### Experience for non-authenticated users
+
+Flow is similar to logged in users except global routes like `/dashboard` will
+redirect to the login page as there is no default organization to choose from.
+
+### A new customers signs up
+
+They will be asked if they are already part of an organization or if they'd
+like to create one. If they choose neither they end up no the default
+`GitLab.com Public` organization.
+
+### An organization is moved from 1 cell to another
+
+TODO
+
+### GraphQL/API requests which don't include the namespace in the URL
+
+TODO
+
+### The autocomplete suggestion functionality in the search bar which remembers recent issues/MRs
+
+TODO
+
+### Global search
+
+TODO
+
+## Administrator
+
+### Loads `/admin` page
+
+1. The `/admin` is locked to `Cell US0`
+1. Some endpoints of `/admin`, like Projects in Admin are scoped to a Cell
+ and users needs to choose the correct one in a dropdown, which results in endpoint
+ like `/admin/cells/cell_0/projects`.
+
+Admin Area settings in Postgres are all shared across all cells to avoid
+divergence but we still make it clear in the URL and UI which cell is serving
+the Admin Area page as there is dynamic data being generated from these pages and
+the operator may want to view a specific cell.
+
+## More Technical Problems To Solve
+
+### Replicating User Sessions Between All Cells
+
+Today user sessions live in Redis but each cell will have their own Redis instance. We already use a dedicated Redis instance for sessions so we could consider sharing this with all cells like we do with `gitlab_users` PostgreSQL database. But an important consideration will be latency as we would still want to mostly fetch sessions from the same region.
+
+An alternative might be that user sessions get moved to a JWT payload that encodes all the session data but this has downsides. For example, it is difficult to expire a user session, when their password changes or for other reasons, if the session lives in a JWT controlled by the user.
+
+### How do we migrate between Cells
+
+Migrating data between cells will need to factor all data stores:
+
+1. PostgreSQL
+1. Redis Shared State
+1. Gitaly
+1. Elasticsearch
+
+### Is it still possible to leak the existence of private groups via a timing attack?
+
+If you have router in EU, and you know that EU router by default redirects
+to EU located Cells, you know their latency (lets assume 10 ms). Now, if your
+request is bounced back and redirected to US which has different latency
+(lets assume that roundtrip will be around 60 ms) you can deduce that 404 was
+returned by US Cell and know that your 404 is in fact 403.
+
+We may defer this until we actually implement a cell in a different region. Such timing attacks are already theoretically possible with the way we do permission checks today but the timing difference is probably too small to be able to detect.
+
+One technique to mitigate this risk might be to have the router add a random
+delay to any request that returns 404 from a cell.
+
+## Should runners be shared across all cells?
+
+We have 2 options and we should decide which is easier:
+
+1. Decompose runner registration and queuing tables and share them across all
+ cells. This may have implications for scalability, and we'd need to consider
+ if this would include group/project runners as this may have scalability
+ concerns as these are high traffic tables that would need to be shared.
+1. Runners are registered per-cell and, we probably have a separate fleet of
+ runners for every cell or just register the same runners to many cells which
+ may have implications for queueing
+
+## How do we guarantee unique ids across all cells for things that cannot conflict?
+
+This project assumes at least namespaces and projects have unique ids across
+all cells as many requests need to be routed based on their ID. Since those
+tables are across different databases then guaranteeing a unique ID will
+require a new solution. There are likely other tables where unique IDs are
+necessary and depending on how we resolve routing for GraphQL and other APIs
+and other design goals it may be determined that we want the primary key to be
+unique for all tables.

+# Development workflow for a components repository
+
+## Summary
+
+This page describes the process of creating a components repository.
+It describes all the necessary steps, from the creation of the project to having new releases displayed in the
+catalog page.
+
+## 1. Create a new project
+
+First, create a new project and add a `README.md` file, which is a planned future
+requirement for a repository to become a catalog resource.
+
+## 2. Create a component inside the repository
+
+If you intend to have only one component in the repository, you can define it in the root directory.
+Otherwise, create a directory for the component.
+For more information, see the [directory structure of a components repository](index.md#structure-of-a-components-repository).
+
+This example defines a single component in the root directory.
+
+Create a `template.yml` file that contains the configuration we want to provide as a component:
+
+```yaml
+spec:
+ inputs:
+ stage:
+ default: test
+---
+.component-default-job:
+ image: busybox
+ stage: $[[ inputs.stage ]]
+
+component-job-1:
+ extends: .component-default-job
+ script: echo job 1
+
+component-job-2:
+ extends: .component-default-job
+ script: echo job 2
+```
+
+The example component configuration above adds two jobs, `component-job-1` and `component-job-2`, to a pipeline.
+
+## 3. Test changes in CI
+
+To test any changes pushed to our component, we create a `.gitlab-ci.yml` in the root directory:
+
+```yaml
+##
+# This configuration expects an access token with read-only access to the API
+# to be saved as in a masked CI/CD variable named 'API_TOKEN'
+
+include:
+ # Leverage predefined variables to refer to the current project and SHA
+ - component: gitlab.com/$CI_PROJECT_PATH@$CI_COMMIT_SHA
+
+stages: [test, release]
+
+# Expect all `component-job-*` jobs are added
+ensure-jobs-added:
+ image: badouralix/curl-jq
+ script:
+ - |
+ route="https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/$CI_PROJECT_ID/pipelines/$CI_PIPELINE_ID/jobs"
+ count=`curl --silent --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: $API_TOKEN" $route | jq 'map(select(.name | contains("component-job-"))) | length'`
+ if [ "$count" != "2" ]; then
+ exit 1
+ fi
+
+# Ensure that a project description exists, because it will be important to display
+# the resource in the catalog.
+check-description:
+ image: badouralix/curl-jq
+ script:
+ - |
+ route="https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/$CI_PROJECT_ID"
+ desc=`curl --silent --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: $API_TOKEN" $route | jq '.description'`
+ if [ "$desc" = "null" ]; then
+ echo "Description not set. Please set a projet description"
+ exit 1
+ else
+ echo "Description set"
+ fi
+
+# Ensure that a `README.md` exists in the root directory as it represents the
+# documentation for the whole components repository.
+check-readme:
+ image: busybox
+ script: ls README.md || (echo "Please add a README.md file" && exit 1)
+
+# If we are tagging a release with a specific convention ("v" + number) and all
+# previous checks succeeded, we proceed with creating a release automatically.
+create-release:
+ stage: release
+ image: registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/release-cli:latest
+ rules:
+ - if: $CI_COMMIT_TAG =~ /^v\d+/
+ script: echo "Creating release $CI_COMMIT_TAG"
+ release:
+ tag_name: $CI_COMMIT_TAG
+ description: "Release $CI_COMMIT_TAG of components repository $CI_PROJECT_PATH"
+```
+
+This pipeline contains examples of several tasks:
+
+- Use the component to ensure that the final configuration uses valid syntax.
+ This also ensures that the minimal requirements for the component to work are in place,
+ like inputs and secrets.
+- Test that the created pipeline has the expected characteristics.
+ For example, ensure the `component-job-*` jobs are added to the pipeline.
+ - We call the [pipeline API endpoint](../../../api/pipelines.md#get-a-single-pipeline) with `curl`
+ and parse the data via `jq`.
+ - With this technique users could check things like ensuring certain jobs were included,
+ the job has the right properties set, or the log contains the expected output.
+- Ensure that the project description is set.
+- Ensure that the repository contains a `README.md` file.
+- Create a [release automatically](../../../ci/yaml/index.md#release). When a tag is created and follows specific regex, create a release
+ after all previous checks pass.
+
+## 4. Run a pipeline
+
+Now run a new pipeline for the `main` branch, by pushing a change or manually running a pipeline:
+
+![Pipeline on main branch](img/pipeline_main.png)
+
+## 5. Create a tag
+
+As the pipeline for `main` is green, we can now [create our first tag](../../../user/project/repository/tags/index.md#create-a-tag): `v1.0`.
+
+As soon as the `v1.0` tag is created, we see a tag pipeline start.
+This time the pipeline also has a `create-release` job in the `release` stage:
+
+![Pipeline on tag](img/pipeline_tag.png)
+
+When the `create-release` job finishes we should see the new release available in the **Releases** menu:
+
+![New components repository release](img/new_release.png)
+
+## 6. Publish the repository to the catalog
+
+To ensure that both the components repository and the new release is visible in the CI Catalog,
+we need to publish it.
+
+Publishing a components repository makes it a catalog resource.
+
+The API endpoint for this action is under development.

+

+- `versions`: one or more releases of the resource.

+- `description`: for components repository this could be the project description.

+- indicators of popularity (stars, forks).
+- categorization: user should select a category and or define search tags
+
+As soon as a components repository is marked as being a "catalog resource"

+## Summary
+
+Develop a scalable & reliable data ingestion abstraction to help efficiently ingest large volumes of data from high throughput systems into ClickHouse.
+
+### Why
+
+To enable any application at GitLab to write necessary data into ClickHouse regardless of the scale at which they generate data today, or in the future. Refer to [Motivation](#motivation) for why ClickHouse in the first place.
+
+### How
+
+By building a write abstraction (API/Library) that allows a user to write data into ClickHouse and has all necessary configurations, conventions and best-practices around instrumentation, service-discovery, etc, built into it out of the box.
+
+## Motivation
+
+ClickHouse is an online, analytical processing (OLAP) database that powers use-cases that require fetching real-time, aggregated data that does not mutate a lot. ClickHouse is highly performant and can scale to large volumes of data as compared to traditional transactional relational databases (OLTP) such as Postgres, MySQL. For further reading around ClickHouse's capabilities, see [[1]](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2022/04/29/two-sizes-fit-most-postgresql-and-clickhouse/), [[2]](https://clickhouse.com/blog/migrating-data-between-clickhouse-postgres) and [[3]](https://posthog.com/blog/clickhouse-vs-postgres).
+
+At GitLab, [our current and future ClickHouse uses/capabilities](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-com/-/epics/2075) reference & describe multiple use-cases that could be facilitated by using ClickHouse as a backing datastore. A majority of these talk about the following two major areas of concern:
+
+1. Being able to leverage [ClickHouse's OLAP capabilities](https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/faq/general/olap/) enabling underlying systems to perform an aggregated analysis of data, both over short and long periods of time.
+1. The fact that executing these operations with our currently existing datasets primarily in Postgres, is starting to become challenging and non-performant.
+
+Looking forward, assuming a larger volume of data being produced by our application(s) and the rate at which it gets produced, the ability to ingest it into a *more* capable system, both effectively and efficiently helps us scale our applications and prepare for business growth.
+
+## Case studies
+
+From an initial assessment of all (reported) use-cases that intend to utilise ClickHouse, the following broad patterns of usage can be observed:
+
+1. Efficiently replicating existing data from other databases into ClickHouse, most prominently Postgres.
+1. Directly ingesting large volumes of data into ClickHouse for asynchronous processing, data aggregation & analysis.
+
+The following section(s) explain details of each problem-domain:
+
+### 1. Replicating existing data into ClickHouse
+
+With due reference to our prior work around this, it has been established that logical replication from Postgres is too slow. Instead, we'll need to be able to emit data change events within database transactions which can then get processed asynchronously to write or update corresponding data in ClickHouse.
+
+The following case-studies describe how these groups intend to solve the underlying problem:
+
+- ~group::optimize has been working towards a scalable PostgreSQL data replication strategy which can be implemented on the application layer.
+
+ - [Proposal: Scalable data sync/replication strategy](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/382172) talks about such a strategy and the additional challenges with using Sidekiq for queueing/batching needs.
+
+ - It has been observed that pumping data from `PostgreSQL` into `ClickHouse` directly might not be the right way to approach the problem at hand.
+
+ - In addition to the problems described above, another class of problems when replicating data across systems is also the handling of data backfill and/or data migrations that happen upstream.
+
+- [group::data](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/business-technology/data-team/) has been working around syncing data from some of our Postgres databases into a Snowflake-based data warehouse. See this issue for optioned considered: [List down all possible options for postgres to snowflake pipeline](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-data/gitlab.com-saas-data-pipeline/-/issues/13) before designing the current system in place.
+
+ - With the work done around our [Next Gen GitLab SaaS Data Pipeline](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1hVaCY42YhaO5UvgLzp3mbuMYJIFuTFYFJjdhixFTxPE/edit#slide=id.g143a48de8a3_0_0), the data team owns a "custom" pipeline that does incremental data extractions based on an `updated_at` timestamp column. This helps import a significant subset of operational database relations into Snowflake data-warehouse.
+
+ - As the volume of data grows, we can foresee this (ETL) pipeline warranting more time and resources to execute resulting in delays across the time between data being produced and being available in Snowflake data-warehouse.
+
+ - We might also see data inconsistency/incompleteness issues emanating from the current setup since row deletions are not transferred into Snowflake, inflating data volume and skewing analysis. Any information about multiple updates happening between import interval period are also lost.
+
+ - Having a scalable ingestion pipeline that can help replicate data from our databases into an intermediate system and/or ClickHouse in near real-time would help improve the operational characteristics around this system.
+
+### 2. Ingesting large volumes of data into ClickHouse
+
+We need to be able to ingest large volumes of potentially unaggregated data into ClickHouse which may result into a large number of small writes as well. This can have an adverse effect on how ClickHouse processes and stores incoming data. To mitigate this problem, we need to queue & batch smaller writes into larger ones to keep the ingestion pipeline efficient at all times.
+
+The following case-studies describe how each group intends to solve the underlying problem:
+
+- ~group::observability explains their need of ingesting large amounts of data into ClickHouse, with the following two issues:
+
+ - [Proposal: GitLab Observability Platform - Data Ingestion](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/opstrace/opstrace/-/issues/1878) talks about using an external events store, such as Kafka, to first ingest data as received from users, then writing it into ClickHouse in larger batches thereby eliminating the need to write a large number of small writes without hampering write performance from how ClickHouse `MergeTree` processes ingested data.
+
+ - In addition, [ClickHouse: Investigate client-side buffering to batch writes into ClickHouse](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/opstrace/opstrace/-/issues/2044) talks about their experimentation with using application-local queueing/batching to work around the problems mentioned above.
+
+- ~"group::product intelligence" has been working on building our analytics offering and recently looking at building and/or improving parts of the system.
+
+ - [Product Analytics Collector Component](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/9346) talks about replacing Jitsu with Snowplow for collecting and processing tracking events. For more details of the proposal, see [Jitsu replacement](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/analytics-section/product-intelligence/proposals/-/blob/62d332baf5701810d9e7a0b2c00df18431e82f22/doc/jitsu_replacement.md).
+
+ - The initial design was prototyped with [Snowplow as Jitsu Replacement PoC](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/analytics-section/product-analytics/devkit/-/merge_requests/37).
+
+ - From the design, it is easy to observe how large amounts of data will be ingested into ClickHouse and could potentially benefit from the use of a scalable ingestion pipeline.
+
+## Goals
+
+### Well-defined, established client abstractions
+
+We want to define and establish a fully-functional application-side abstraction that can help ingest data into ClickHouse without getting in the way of how an application itself is designed while keeping the underlying code backend-agnostic. The proposed abstraction should become the default choice for any applications, core or satellite, at GitLab.
+
+### Support for high throughput in volume of writes
+
+A solution here should enable an application to write any amount of inserts (order of upto 1000-5000 writes per second) to the underlying database efficiently while also allowing for growth as the application scales out. Considering how ClickHouse processes incoming writes, a proposed solution should be able to batch a number of very small writes into larger batches.
+
+### Reliable, consistent delivery of data
+
+A solution here should also ensure reliable & consistent delivery of ingested data into the underlying database minimising undue loss of data before being eventually persisted into ClickHouse.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+### Addressing data types, schemas or formats
+
+At this stage of this proposal, we're not optimizing for addressing which data types, schemas or formats we receive ingested data in. It should be delegated to the backend-specific implementations themselves and not handled within the write abstraction.
+
+### Addressing where our data sources exist today
+
+We're also not addressing any client-side specific details into the design at this point. The write abstraction should only remain a tool for the language in which it is written. As long as an application can use it to write data as any other third-party library, we should be good to build on top of it.
+
+## General Considerations
+
+Having addressed the details of the two aformentioned problem-domains, we can model a proposed solution with the following logical structure:
+
+- Ingestion
+ - APIs/SDKs
+ - HTTP2/gRPC Sidecar
+- Transport & Routing
+ - Multi-destination
+- Digestion/Compute
+ - Enrichment
+ - Processing
+ - Persisting
+
+## Major challenges around building such a capability
+
+### Self-managed environments
+
+The single, biggest challenge around introducing ClickHouse and related systems would be the ability to make it avaiable to our users running GitLab in self-managed environments. The intended goals of this proposal are intentionally kept within those constraints. It is also prudent to establish that what we're *proposing* here be applicable to applications consuming ClickHouse from inside self-managed environments.
+
+There are ongoing efforts to streamline distribution and deployment of ClickHouse instances for managed environment within the larger scope of [ClickHouse Usage at GitLab](../clickhouse_usage/index.md). A few other issues tackling parts of the aforementioned problem are:
+
+- [Research and understand component costs and maintenance requirements of running a ClickHouse instance with GitLab](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/-/issues/14384)
+- [ClickHouse maintenance and cost research](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/116669)
+
+### Wide variety of data sources, their structures & usage patterns
+
+The data that we intend to ingest into ClickHouse can come from a wide variety of data sources and be structured in different schemas or formats. With that considered, it's non-trivial effort to draft a solution that suffices all use-cases efficiently.
+
+Should we decide to build an intermediate ingestion system, any solution should help provide a source/schema/format-agnostic data transport layer with an established, matured client-abstraction to maximise the number of applications that can use it.
+
+### Building on top of our current database infrastructure
+
+Our current database infrastructure operates at a fairly large scale and adding more applications that continuously read/write against it adds to the pressure on the existing resources. It's important we move away any workloads and/or datasets that can be safely processed in a different context altogether.
+
+### Service Discovery
+
+We're still normalising the details around distribution and deployment of ClickHouse clusters and/or instances for our applications. Subject to how we end up doing it, for a client to be able to discover which ClickHouse cluster, shard or table would need to become a part any such solution.
+
+## Proposed Solution
+
+In light of the problems discussed earlier, it'd be in our better interests to allow the usage of an external, intermediate system subject to what one's needs might be especially around the volume & scale of data being writen from an application into ClickHouse.
+
+Therefore, we intend to develop an abstraction that can enable an application to store data into ClickHouse regardless of the scale that they (currently) operate at. It also:
+
+- Facilitates an application to switch from one *technology* to another should their performance and/or scale requirements change over time.
+- Allows for backend-specific conventions, configurations & best practices such as instrumentation, service-discovery, etc. to be encoded in one place for all applications to leverage consistently.
+
+## Design & Implementation
+
+### Core assumptions
+
+- We're only going to focus on writing data into ClickHouse as mentioned in aforementioned non-goals. With details of how our data lands into ClickHouse, this document does not (intentionally) address where this data comes from. Some of those details are delegated to the applications generating this data i.e as long as they can consume this abstraction, they should be able to write data into ClickHouse.
+
+- We're going to delegate the choice of different storage backends to a following blueprint or epic since that's outside the scope of this design. With ClickHouse as the eventual destination for our data, this document only talks about writing data into it - either directly or indirectly via a queueing/batching system.
+
+### Architecture
+
+![Architecture](clickhouse_dbwriter.png)
+
+Having an abstraction around writing data help client-side instrumentation to stay backend-agnostic allowing them to switch code paths depending on where it runs.
+
+An example setup should look like:
+
+```ruby
+Gitlab::Database::Writer.config do |config|
+ #
+ # when using sync mode, data gets written directly into ClickHouse,
+ # therefore, it's also assumed the backend here is ClickHouse
+ config.mode = :sync OR :async
+ config.backend = :clickhouse # optional
+ # OR
+ #
+ # when using async mode, data is written to an intermediate system
+ # first, then written into ClickHouse asynchronously
+ config.mode = :async
+ config.backend = :pubsub OR :kafka OR :otherbackend
+ #
+ # then backend-specific configurations hereafter
+ #
+ config.url = 'tcp://user:pwd@localhost:9000/database'
+ # e.g. a serializer helps define how data travels over the wire
+ config.json_serializer = ClickHouse::Serializer::JsonSerializer
+ # ...
+end
+# do application-specific processing
+# eventually, write data using the object you just built
+Gitlab::Database::Writer.write(
+ Gitlab::Database::Model::MyTable,
+ [{ id: 1, foo: 'bar' }],
+)
+```
+
+We intend to keep `Gitlab::Database::Writer.backend` to be as close to the backend-specific client implementation as possible. Having a wrapper around a vanilla client helps us address peripheral concerns such as service-discovery for the backends while still allowing the user to leverage features of a given client.
+
+### Iterations
+
+Considering the large scope of this undertaking and the need for feedback around actual usage, we intend to build the proposed abstraction(s) across multiple iterations which can be described as follows:
+
+#### Iteration 1 - Develop write abstraction with sync mode enabled
+
+First, research and develop a simple write abstraction that our users can begin to use to write data into ClickHouse. This ensures our choice of the underlying client is well-researched and suffices to fulfill needs of as many reported use-cases as possible. Being able to see this running would help gather user-feedback and improve the write APIs/interfaces accordingly.
+
+Given this feedback and more development with how we aim to deploy ClickHouse across our environments, it'd then be prudent to build into this abstraction necessary conventions, best practices and abstract away details around connection-pooling, service-discovery, etc.
+
+#### Iteration 2 - Add support for schemas & data validation
+
+In the next iteration, we plan to add support for schema usage and validation. This helps keep model definitions sane and allows for validating data to be inserted.
+
+#### Iteration 3 - Add support for async mode, PoC with one backend
+
+With the above two iterations well-executed, we can start to scale up our write abstractions adding the support for writing data into intermediate data stores before writing it into ClickHouse asynchronously. We aim to prototype such an implementation with atleast one such backend.
+
+#### Further iterations
+
+With a backend-agnostic abstraction becoming the ingestion interface a client interacts with, there's various other use-cases that can be solved from within this abstraction. Some of them are:
+
+- Zero-configuration data ingestion from multiple sources
+- Dynamically enriching data from multiple sources
+- Offloading data to long-term retention data stores
+
+### Possible backend implementations
+
+- Applications writing directly to ClickHouse
+ - Application-local in-memory queueing/batching of data
+ - Application-local persistent queueing/batching of data
+- Non-local queueing/batching of data before eventually writing into ClickHouse
+ - Managed cloud backends:
+ - [Google PubSub](https://cloud.google.com/pubsub)
+ - [AWS Kinesis](https://aws.amazon.com/kinesis/)
+ - Self-managed backends:
+ - [CHProxy](https://www.chproxy.org/)
+ - [Kafka](https://kafka.apache.org/)
+ - [RedPanda](https://redpanda.com/)
+ - [Vector](https://vector.dev/)
+ - [RabbitMQ](https://www.rabbitmq.com/)
+
+### Additional complexity when using a non-local backend
+
+- The need for running an additional process/sub-system that reads data from the concerned backend and writes it into ClickHouse efficiently and reliably.
+- The additional hop across the backend also means that there might be potential delays in how soon this data lands into ClickHouse.
+
+Though the points above describe additional complexity for an application, they can be treated as valid trade-off(s) assuming their need for data ingestion at scale.
+
+### Comparing backends across multiple dimensions
+
+| Dimension | CHProxy | Redis | Google PubSub | Apache Kafka |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Operations | Trivial | Trivial | Managed | Non-trivial, complex |
+| Data Retention | Non-durable | Non-durable | Durable | Durable |
+| Performance | Good | Good | High | High |
+| Data Streaming | None | Minimal | Good | Best |
+| Suitable for self-managed environments | Trivial | Trivial | - | Complex |

+
+## Summary
+
+Provide a solution standardizing read access to ClickHouse or its alternatives for GitLab installations that will not opt-in to install ClickHouse. After analyzing different [open-source tools](#overview-of-open-source-tools) and weighing them against an option to [build a solution internally](#recommended-approach). The current recommended approach proposes to use dedicated database-level drivers to connect to each data source. Additionally, it proposes the usage of [repository pattern](https://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/repository.html) to confine optionally database availability complexity to a single application layer.
+
+## Motivation
+
+ClickHouse requires significant resources to be run, and smaller installations of GitLab might not get a return from investment with provided performance improvement. That creates a risk that ClickHouse might not be globally available for all installations and features might need to alternate between different data stores available. Out of all [present & future ClickHouse use cases](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-com/-/epics/2075) that have been already proposed as part of the working group 7 out of 10 uses data stores different than ClickHouse. Considering that context it is important to
+support those use cases in their effort to adopt ClickHouse by providing them with tools and guidelines that will standardize interactions with available data stores.
+
+The proposed solution can take different forms from stand-alone tooling
+offering a unified interface for interactions with underlying data stores, to a set of libraries supporting each of the data stored individually backed by implementation guidelines that will describe rules and limitations placed around data stores interactions, and drawing borders of encapsulation.
+
+## Goals
+
+- Limit the impact of optionally available data stores on the overall GitLab application codebase to [single abstraction layer](../../../development/reusing_abstractions.md#abstractions)
+- Support all data store specific features
+- Support communication for satellite services of the main GitLab application
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- This proposal does not directly consider write communication with database, as this is a subject of [complementary effort](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/111148)
+- This proposal does not directly consider schema changes and data migration challenges
+
+Despite above points being non goals, it is acknowledge that they might impose some alterations to final solution which is expressed at the end of this document in the [Open questions](#open-questions) section.
+
+## Possible Solutions
+
+High-level goals described in the previous paragraph can be achieved by both in-house-built solutions as well as by adopting open-source tools.
+The following sections will take a closer look into both of those avenues
+
+### Recommended approach
+
+In the spirit of MVC and iteration, it is proposed to start with a solution that would rely on drivers that directly interact
+with corresponding data stores, like ActiveRecord for Ruby. For this solution to be able to achieve goals set for
+this exit criteria and help mitigate the issue listed in the _Motivation_ section of this document, such drivers need to be supported
+by a set of development guidelines enforced with static code analysis.
+
+Such a solution was selected as preferred upon receiving feedback from different members of the working group concerned
+about the risk of limitations that might be imposed by open-source tools, preventing groups from taking advantage of ClickHouse
+features to their fullest. Members collaborating around working group criteria presented in this document, agree that
+concerns around limitations could be mitigated by building a comprehensive set of prototypes, however time and effort
+required to achieve that surpass the limits of this working group. It is also important to notice that ClickHouse adoption
+is in an exploratory stage, and groups might not being even able to state what are their requirements just yet.
+
+#### Proposed drivers
+
+Following ClickHouse documentation there are the following drivers for Ruby and Go
+
+##### Ruby
+
+1. [ClickHouse Ruby driver](https://github.com/shlima/click_house) - Previously selected for use in GitLab as part of the Observability grup's research (see: [issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/358158))
+1. [Clickhouse::Activerecord](https://github.com/PNixx/clickhouse-activerecord)
+
+##### Go
+
+1. [ClickHouse/clickhouse-go](https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-go) - Official SQL database client.
+1. [uptrace/go-clickhouse](https://clickhouse.uptrace.dev/) - Alternative client.
+
+##### Proposed client architecture
+
+To keep the codebase well organized and limit coupling to any specific database engine it is important to encapsulate
+interactions, including querying data to a single application layer, that would present its interface to layers above in
+similar vain to [ActiveRecord interface propagation through abstraction layers](../../../development/reusing_abstractions.md)
+
+Keeping underlying database engines encapsulated makes the recommended solution a good two-way door decision that
+keeps the opportunity to introduce other tools later on, while giving groups time to explore and understand their use cases.
+
+At the lowest abstraction layer, it can be expected that there will be a family of classes directly interacting with the ClickHouse driver, those classes
+following MVC pattern implemented by Rails should be classified as _Models_.
+
+Models-level abstraction builds well into existing patterns and guidelines but unfortunately does not solve the challenge of the optional availability of the ClickHouse database engine for self-managed instances. It is required to design a dedicated entity that will house responsibility of selecting best database to serve business logic request.
+From the already mentioned existing abstraction [guidelines](../../../development/reusing_abstractions.md) `Finders` seems to be the closest to the given requirements, due to the fact that `Finders` encapsulate database specific interaction behind their own public API, hiding database vendors detail from all layers above them.
+
+However, they are closely coupled to `ActiveRecord` ORM framework, and are bound by existing GitLab convention to return `ActiveRecord::Relation` objects, that might be used to compose even more complex queries. That coupling makes `Finders` unfit to deal with the optional availability of ClickHouse because returned data might come from two different databases, and might not be compatible with each other.
+
+With all that above in mind it might be worth considering adding a new entity into the codebase that would exist on a similar level of abstraction as `Finders` yet it would be required to return an `Array` of data objects instead.
+
+Required level of isolation can be achieved with usage of a [repository pattern](https://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/repository.html). The repository pattern is designed to separates business / domain logic from data access concerns, which is exactly what this proposal is looking for.
+What is more the repository pattern does not limits operations performed on underlying databases allowing for full utilization of their features.
+
+To implement the repository pattern following things needs to be created:
+
+1. A **strategy** for each of supported databases, for example: `MyAwesomeFeature::Repository::Strategies::ClickHouseStrategy` and `MyAwesomeFeature::Repository::Strategies::PostgreSQLStrategy`. Strategies are responsible for implementing communication with underlying database ie: composing queries
+1. A **repository** that is responsible for exposing high level interface to interact with database using one of available strategies selected with some predefined criteria ie: database availability. Strategies used by single repository must share the same public interface so they can be used interchangeable
+1. A **Plain Old Ruby Object(PORO) Model** that represents data in business logic implemented by application layers using repository. It have to be database agnostic
+
+It is important to notice that the repository pattern based solution has already been implemented by Observability group (kudos to: @ahegyi, @splattael and @brodock). [`ErrorTracking::ErrorRepository`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/1070c008b9e72626e25296480f82f2ee2b93f847/lib/gitlab/error_tracking/error_repository.rb) is being used to support migration of error tracking features from PostgreSQL to ClickHouse (integrated via API), and uses feature flag toggle as database selection criteria, that is great example of optional availability of database.
+
+`ErrorRepository` is using two strategies:
+
+1. [`OpenApiStrategy`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/d0bdc8370ef17891fd718a4578e41fef97cf065d/lib/gitlab/error_tracking/error_repository/open_api_strategy.rb) to interact with ClickHouse using API proxy entity
+1. [`ActiveRecordStrategy`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/d0bdc8370ef17891fd718a4578e41fef97cf065d/lib/gitlab/error_tracking/error_repository/active_record_strategy.rb) to interact with PostgreSQL using `ActiveRecord` framework
+
+Each of those strategies return data back to abstraction layers above using following PORO Models:
+
+1. [`Gitlab::ErrorTracking::Error`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/a8ea29d51ff23cd8f5b467de9063b64716c81879/lib/gitlab/error_tracking/error.rb)
+1. [`Gitlab::ErrorTracking::DetailedError`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/a8ea29d51ff23cd8f5b467de9063b64716c81879/lib/gitlab/error_tracking/detailed_error.rb)
+
+Additionally `ErrorRepository` is great example of remarkable flexibility offered by the repository pattern in terms of supported types of data stores, allowing to integrate solutions as different as a library and external service API under single unified interface. That example presents opportunity that the repository pattern in the future might be expanded beyond needs of ClickHouse and PostgreSQL when some use case would call for it.
+
+Following [merge request](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/85907/diffs) documents changes done by observability group in order to migrate from using current GitLab architecture based on ActiveRecord Models, Services and Finders to the repository pattern.
+
+##### Possible ways to enforce client architecture
+
+It is not enough to propose a client-side architecture for it to fully be established as common practice it needs
+to be automatically enforced, reducing the risk of developers unconsciously going against it. There are multiple ways to
+introduce automated verification of repository pattern implementation including:
+
+1. Utilize `ActiveRecord` query subscribers in a similar way to[Database::PreventCrossJoins](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/spec/support/database/prevent_cross_joins.rb) in order to detect queries to ClickHouse executed outside of _Strategies_
+1. Expanding [`CodeReuse`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/tree/master/rubocop/cop/code_reuse) rubocop rules to flag all usage of ClickHouse driver outside of _Strategies_
+1. Create rubocop rule that detects calls to utility method that checks the presence of ClickHouse instance (ie: `CurrentSettings.click_house_enabled?`) that are being made outside of _Repositories_
+
+At this development stage, authors see all of the listed options as viable and promising, therefore a decision about which ones to use would be deferred to the moment when the first repository pattern implementation for ClickHouse will emerge.
+
+### Overview of open-source tools
+
+In this section authors provide an overview of existing 3rd party open-source solutions that were considered as alternative approaches to achieve stated goal, but was not selected as recommended approach.
+
+#### Evaluation criteria
+
+##### 1. License (MUST HAVE)
+
+1. Solutions must be open source under an [acceptable license](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/open-source/#acceptable-licenses).
+
+##### 2. Support for different data stores (MUST HAVE)
+
+1. It focuses on the fact whether the proposed abstraction layer can support both ClickHouse and PostgreSQL (must have)
+1. Additional consideration might be if more than the two must-have storages are supported
+1. The solution must support the [minimum required versions](../../../install/requirements.md#postgresql-requirements) for PostgreSQL
+
+##### 3. Protocol compatibility
+
+Every abstraction layer comes at the cost of limited API compared to direct access to the tool. This exit criterion is trying to bring understanding to the degree of trade-off being made on limiting tools API for the sake of a common abstraction.
+
+1. List what read operations can be done via PostgreSQL and ClickHouse (`selects`, `joins`, `group by`, `order by`, `union` etc)
+1. List what operations can be done with the proposed abstraction layer, how complicated it is to do such operations, and whether are there any performance concerns when compared to running operations natively
+1. Does it still allow for direct access to a data source in case the required operation is not supported by the abstraction layer, eg: `ActiveRecord` allows for raw SQL strings to be run with `#execute`
+
+##### 4. Operational effort
+
+1. Deployment process: how complex is it? Is the proposed tool a library tool that is being added into the stack, or does it require additional services to be deployed independently along the GitLab system. What deployment types does the tool support (Kubernetes/VMs, SaaS/self-managed, supported OS, cloud providers). Does it support offline installation.
+1. How many hardware resources does it need to operate
+1. Does it require complex monitoring and operations to assure stable and performant services
+1. Matured maintenance process and documentation around it: upgrades, backup and restore, scaling
+1. High-availability support. Does the tool have documentation how to build HA cluster and perform failovers for self-managed? Does the tool support zero-downtime upgrade?
+1. FIPS and FedRAMP compliance
+1. Replication process and how the new tool would fit in GitLab Geo.
+
+##### 5. Developer experience
+
+1. Solutions must have well-structured, clear, and thoroughly documented APIs to ease adoption and reduce the learning curve.
+
+##### 6. Maturity (nice to have)
+
+1. How long does the solution exist? Is it used often? Does it have a stable community? If the license permits forking tool is also a considerable option
+
+##### 7. Tech fit
+
+1. Is the solution written in one of the programming languages we use at GitLab so that we can more easily contribute with bug fixes and new features?
+
+##### 8. Interoperability (Must have)
+
+1. Can the solution support both the main GitLab application written in Ruby on Rails also satellite services like container registry that might be written in Go
+
+#### Open - Source solutions
+
+##### 1. [Cube.dev](https://cube.dev/)
+
+**Evaluation**
+
+1. License
+ Apache 2.0 + MIT ✅
+1. Support for different data stores
+ Yes ✅
+1. Protocol compatibility
+ It uses OLAP theory concepts to aggregate data. This might be useful in some use cases like aggregating usage metrics, but not in others. It has APIs for both SQL queries and their own query format.
+1. Operational effort
+ Separate service to be deployed using Docker or k8s. Uses Redis as a cache and data structure store.
+1. Developer experience
+ Good [documentation](https://cube.dev/docs)
+1. Maturity
+ Headless BI tools themselves are a fairly new idea, but Cube.js seems to be the leading open-source solution in this space.
+ The Analytics section uses it internally for our Product Analytics stack.
+1. Tech fit
+ Uses REST and GraphQL APIs. It has its own query and data schema formats, but they are well-documented. Data definitions in either YAML or JavaScript.
+
+**Comment**
+
+The solution is already being used as a read interface for ClickHouse by ~"group::product analytics",
+to gather first hand experience there was a conversation held with @mwoolf with key conclusions being:
+
+1. ClickHouse driver for cube.dev is community-sourced, and it does not have a maintainer as of now, which means there is no active development. It is a small and rather simple repository that should work at least until a new major version of ClickHouse will arrive with some breaking changes
+1. Cube.dev is written in Type Script and JavaScript which are part of GitLab technical stack, and there are engineers here with expertise in them, however Cube.dev is expected to be mostly used by backend developers, which does not have that much experience in mentioned technologies
+1. Abstraction layer for simple SQL works, based on JSON will build correct query depending on the backend
+1. Data store-specific functions (like window funnel ClickHouse) are not being translated to other engines, which requires additional cube schemas to be built to represent the same data.
+1. Performance so far was not an issue both on local dev and on AWS VPS millions of rows import load testing
+1. It expose postgres SQL like interface for most engines, but not for ClickHouse unfortunately so for sake of working group use case JSON API might be more feasible
+1. Cube.dev can automatically generate schemas on the fly, which can be used conditionally in the runtime handling optional components like ClickHouse
+
+There is also a [recording](https://youtu.be/iBPTCrvOBBs) of that conversation available.
+
+##### 2. [ClickHouse FDW](https://github.com/ildus/clickhouse_fdw)
+
+**Evaluation**
+
+A ClickHouse Foreign Data Wrapper for PostgreSQL. It allows ClickHouse tables to be queried as if they were stored in PostgreSQL.
+Could be a viable option to easily introduce ClickHouse as a drop-in replacement when Postgres stops scaling.
+
+1. License
+ Apache 2.0 ✅
+1. Support for different data stores
+ Yes, by calling ClickHouse through a PostgreSQL instance. ✅
+1. Protocol compatibility
+ Supports SELECT, INSERT statements at a first glance. Not sure about joins. Allows for raw SQL by definition.
+1. Operational effort

+1. This proposal main focus is read interface, however depending on outcome of [complementary effort](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/111148) that focus on write interface similar concerns around optional availability might be applicable to write interaction. In case if ingestion pipeline would not resolve optional availability challenges for write interface it might be considerable to include write interactions into repository pattern implementation proposed in this document.
+1. Concerns around ClickHouse schema changes and data migrations is not covered by any existing working group criteria, even though solving this challenges as a whole is outside of the scope of this document it is prudent to raise awareness that some alterations to proposed repository pattern based implementation might be required in order to support schema changes.

+# ClickHouse Usage at GitLab
+
+## Summary
+
+[ClickHouse](https://clickhouse.com/) is an open-source column-oriented database management system. It can efficiently filter, aggregate, and sum across large numbers of rows. In FY23, GitLab selected ClickHouse as its standard data store for features with big data and insert-heavy requirements such as Observability and Analytics. This blueprint is a product of the [ClickHouse working group](https://about.gitlab.com/company/team/structure/working-groups/clickhouse-datastore/). It serves as a high-level blueprint to ClickHouse adoption at GitLab and references other blueprints addressing specific ClickHouse-related technical challenges.
+
+## Motivation
+
+In FY23-Q2, the Monitor:Observability team developed and shipped a [ClickHouse data platform](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/7772) to store and query data for Error Tracking and other observability features. Other teams have also begun to incorporate ClickHouse into their current or planned architectures. Given the growing interest in ClickHouse across product development teams, it is important to have a cohesive strategy for developing features using ClickHouse. This will allow teams to more efficiently leverage ClickHouse and ensure that we can maintain and support this functionality effectively for SaaS and self-managed customers.
+
+### Goals
+
+As ClickHouse has already been selected for use at GitLab, our main goal now is to ensure successful adoption of ClickHouse across GitLab. It is helpful to break down this goal according to the different phases of the product development workflow.
+
+1. Plan: Make it easy for development teams to understand if ClickHouse is the right fit for their feature.
+1. Develop and Test: Give teams the best practices and frameworks to develop ClickHouse-backed features.
+1. Launch: Support ClickHouse-backed features for SaaS and self-managed.
+1. Improve: Successfully scale our usage of ClickHouse.
+
+### Non-Goals
+
+## Proposals
+
+The following are links to proposals in the form of blueprints that address technical challenges to using ClickHouse across a wide variety of features.
+
+1. Scalable data ingestion pipeline.
+ - How do we ingest large volumes of data from GitLab into ClickHouse either directly or by replicating existing data?
+1. Supporting ClickHouse for self-managed installations.
+ - For which use-cases and scales does it make sense to run ClickHouse for self-managed and what are the associated costs?
+ - How can we best support self-managed installation of ClickHouse for different types/sizes of environments?
+ - Consider using the [Opstrace ClickHouse operator](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/opstrace/opstrace/-/tree/main/clickhouse-operator) as the basis for a canonical distribution.
+ - Consider exposing Clickhouse backend as [GitLab Plus](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/308) to combine benefits of using self-managed instance and GitLab-managed database.
+ - Should we develop abstractions for querying and data ingestion to avoid requiring ClickHouse for small-scale installations?
+1. Abstraction layer for features to leverage both ClickHouse or PostreSQL.
+ - What are the benefits and tradeoffs? For example, how would this impact our automated migration and query testing?
+1. Security recommendations and secure defaults for ClickHouse usage.
+
+Note that we are still formulating proposals and will update the blueprint accordingly.
+
+## Best Practices
+
+Best practices and guidelines for developing performant and scalable features using ClickHouse are located in the [ClickHouse developer documentation](../../../development/database/clickhouse/index.md).
+
+## Cost and maintenance analysis
+
+ClickHouse components cost and maintenance analysis is located in the [ClickHouse Self-Managed component costs and maintenance requirements](self_managed_costs_and_requirements/index.md).

+# ClickHouse Self-Managed component costs and maintenance requirements
+
+## Summary
+
+[ClickHouse](https://clickhouse.com/) requires additional cost and maintenance for self-managed customers:
+
+- **Resource allocation cost**: ClickHouse requires a considerable amount of resources to run optimally.
+ - [Minimum cost estimation](#minimum-self-managed-component-costs) shows that setting up ClickHouse can be applicable only for very large Reference Architectures: 25k and up.
+- **High availability**: ClickHouse SaaS supports HA. No documented HA configuration for self-managed at the moment.
+- **Geo setups**: Sync and replication complexity for GitLab Geo setups.
+- **Upgrades**: An additional database to maintain and upgrade along with existing Postgres database. This also includes compatibility issues of mapping GitLab version to ClickHouse version and keeping them up-to-date.
+- **Backup and restore:** Self-managed customers need to have an engineer who is familiar with backup strategies and disaster recovery process in ClickHouse or switch to ClickHouse SaaS.
+- **Monitoring**: ClickHouse can use Prometheus, additional component to monitor and troubleshoot.
+- **Limitations**: Azure object storage is not supported. GitLab does not have the documentation or support expertise to assist customers with deployment and operation of self-managed ClickHouse.
+- **ClickHouse SaaS**: Customers using a self-managed GitLab instance with regulatory or compliance requirements, or latency concerns likely cannot use ClickHouse SaaS.
+
+### Minimum self-managed component costs
+
+Based on [ClickHouse spec requirements](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/-/issues/14384#note_1307456092) analysis
+and collaborating with ClickHouse team, we identified the following minimal configurations for ClickHouse self-managed:
+
+1. ClickHouse High Availability (HA)
+ - ClickHouse - 2 machines with >=16-cores, >=64 GB RAM, SSD, 10 GB Internet. Each machine also runs Keeper.
+ - [Keeper](https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/guides/sre/keeper/clickhouse-keeper) - 1 machine with 2 CPU, 4 GB of RAM, SSD with high IOPS
+1. ClickHouse non-HA
+ - ClickHouse - 1 machine with >=16-cores, >=64 GB RAM, SSD, 10 GB Internet.
+
+The following [cost table](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/-/issues/14384#note_1324085466) was compiled using the machine CPU and memory requirements for ClickHouse, and comparing them to the
+GitLab Reference Architecture sizes and [costs](../../../../administration/reference_architectures/index.md#cost-to-run) from the GCP calculator.
+
+| Reference Architecture | ClickHouse type | ClickHouse cost / (GitLab cost + ClickHouse cost) |
+|-------------|-----------------|-----------------------------------|
+| [1k - non HA](https://cloud.google.com/products/calculator#id=a6d6a94a-c7dc-4c22-85c4-7c5747f272ed) | [non-HA](https://cloud.google.com/products/calculator#id=9af5359e-b155-451c-b090-5f0879bb591e) | 78.01% |

+| [25k - HA](https://cloud.google.com/products/calculator#id=b4b8b587-508a-4433-adc8-dc506bbe924f) | [HA](https://cloud.google.com/products/calculator#id=9909f5af-d41a-4da2-b8cc-a0347702a823) | 14.30% |

+
+NOTE:
+The ClickHouse Self-Managed component evaluation is the minimum estimation for the costs
+with a simplified architecture.
+
+The following components increase the cost, and were not considered in the minimum calculation:
+
+- Disk size - depends on data size, hard to estimate.
+- Disk types - ClickHouse recommends [fast SSDs](https://clickhouse.com/docs/ru/operations/tips#storage-subsystem).
+- Network usage - ClickHouse recommends using [10 GB network, if possible](https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/operations/tips#network).
+- For HA we sum minimum cost across all reference architectures from 3k to 50k users, but HA specs tend to increase with user count.

+ Read [`project#after_save`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/6d26634e864d7b748dda0e283eb2477362263bc3/app/models/project.rb#L101-L101)
+ for more information.
+- **Delete project:** Use FKs cascade delete or Rails callbacks to ensure when a `Project`
+ or its `ProjectNamespace` is removed, its corresponding `ProjectNamespace` or `Project`
+ is also removed.
+- **Transfer project to a different group:** Make sure that when a project is transferred,
+ its corresponding project namespace is transferred to the same group.
+- **Transfer group:** Make sure when transferring a group that all of its sub-projects,
+ either direct or through descendant groups, have their corresponding project
+ namespaces transferred correctly as well.
+- **Export or import project**
+ - **Export project** continues to export only the project, and not its project namespace,
+ in this phase. The project namespace does not contain any specific information
+ to export at this point. Eventually, we want the project namespace to be exported as well.
+ - **Import project** creates a new project, so the project namespace is created through
+ Rails `after_save` callback on the project model.
+- **Export or import group:** When importing or exporting a `Group`, projects are not
+ included in the operation. If that feature is changed to include `Project` when its group is
+ imported or exported, the logic must include their corresponding project namespaces
+ in the import or export.
+
+After ensuring these points, run a database migration to create a `ProjectNamespace`
+record for every `Project`. Project namespace records created during the migration
+should have `created_at` and `updated_at` attributes set to the migration runtime.
+The project namespaces' `created_at` and `updated_at` attributes would not match
+their corresponding project's `created_at` and `updated_at` attributes. We want
+the different dates to help audit any of the created project namespaces, in case we need it.
+After this work completes, we must migrate data as described in
+[Backfill `ProjectNamespace` for every Project](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/337100).
+
+### Phase 2 (complete)
+
+- [Phase 2 epic](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/6768).
+- **Goal**: Link `ProjectNamespace` to other entities on the database level.
+
+In this phase:
+
+- Communicate the changes company-wide at the engineering level. We want to make
+ engineers aware of the upcoming changes, even though teams are not expected to
+ collaborate actively until phase 3.
+- Raise awareness to avoid regressions and conflicting or duplicate work that
+ can be dealt with before phase 3.
+
+### Phase 3 (ongoing)
+
+- [Phase 3 epic](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/6585).
+
+In this phase we are migrating basic, high-priority project functionality from `Project` to `ProjectNamespace`, or directly to `Namespace`. Problems to solve as part of this phase:
+
+- [Unify members/members actions](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/8010) - on UI and API level.
+- Starring: Right now only projects can be starred. We want to bring this to the group level.
+- Common actions: Destroying, transferring, restoring. This can be unified on the controller level and then propagated lower.
+- Archiving currently only works on the project level. This can be brought to the group level, similar to the mechanism for “pending deletion”.
+- Avatar's serving and actions.
+
+### Phase 4
+
+- [Phase 4 epic](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/8687)
+
+In this phase we are migrating additional functionality from `Project` to `ProjectNamespace`/`Namespace`:
+
+- Replace usages of `Project` with `ProjectNamespace` in the code.
+- API changes to expose namespaces and namespace features.
+ - Investigate if we extend API for `groups` or we introduce a `namespaces` endpoint and slowly deprecate `groups` and `projects` endpoints.
+- Break down each feature that needs to be migrated from `Project` to `ProjectNamespace` or `Namespace`.
+ - Investigate if we can move a feature from `Project -> Namespace` directly vs `Project -> ProjectNamespace -> Namespace`. This can be decided on a feature by feature case.
+- [Migrate Project#namespace to reference ProjectNamespace](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/6581).
+- [Routes consolidation between Project & ProjectNamespace](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/337103).
+- [Policies consolidation](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/6689).
+
+### Phase 5
+
+- [Phase 5 epic](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/6944)
+
+We should strive to do the code clean up as we move through the phases. However, not everything can be cleaned up while something is still being developed. For example, dropping database columns can be done as the last task when we are sure everything is working. This phase will focus on:
+
+- Code cleanup
+- Database cleanup
+

1. **Conceptual model**: What are the current and future state conceptual models of these features ([see object modeling for designers](https://hpadkisson.medium.com/object-modeling-for-designers-an-introduction-7871bdcf8baf))? These should be documented in Pajamas (example: [merge requests](https://design.gitlab.com/objects/merge-request/)).
1. **Merge conflicts**: What inconsistencies are there across project, group, and administrator levels? How might these be addressed? For an example of how we rationalized this for labels, please see [this issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/338820).

# Database Testing
+**Notice:** This blueprint has been partially implemented. We still plan to
+iterate on the tooling. The content below is a historical version of the
+blueprint, written prior to incorporating database testing into our development
+workflow.
+
We have identified [common themes of reverted migrations](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/233391) and discovered failed migrations breaking in both production and staging even when successfully tested in a developer environment. We have also experienced production incidents even with successful testing in staging. These failures are quite expensive: they can have a significant effect on availability, block deployments, and generate incident escalations. These escalations must be triaged and either reverted or fixed forward. Often, this can take place without the original author's involvement due to time zones and/or the criticality of the escalation. With our increased deployment speeds and stricter uptime requirements, the need for improving database testing is critical, particularly earlier in the development process (shift left).
From a developer's perspective, it is hard, if not unfeasible, to validate a migration on a large enough dataset before it goes into production.

We make sure no communication can happen to the outside world from within the container executing the GitLab Rails code (and its database migrations).

+# GitLab CI Events
+
+## Summary
+
+In order to unlock innovation and build more value, GitLab is expected to be
+the center of automation related to DevSecOps processes. We want to transform
+GitLab into a programming environment, that will make it possible for engineers
+to model various workflows on top of CI/CD pipelines. Today, users must create
+custom automation around webhooks or scheduled pipelines to build required
+workflows.
+
+In order to make this automation easier for our users, we want to build a
+powerful CI/CD eventing system, that will make it possible to run pipelines
+whenever something happens inside or outside of GitLab.
+
+A typical use-case is to run a CI/CD job whenever someone creates an issue,
+posts a comment, changes a merge request status from "draft" to "ready for
+review" or adds a new member to a group.
+
+To build that new technology, we should:
+
+1. Emit many hierarchical events from within GitLab in a more advanced way than we do it today.
+1. Make it affordable to run this automation, that will react to GitLab events, at scale.
+1. Provide a set of conventions and libraries to make writing the automation easier.
+
+## Goals
+
+While ["GitLab Events Platform"](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/113700)
+aims to build new abstractions around emitting events in GitLab, "GitLab CI
+Events" blueprint is about making it possible to:
+
+1. Define a way in which users will configure when an event emitted will result in a CI pipeline being run.
+1. Describe technology required to match subscriptions with events at GitLab.com scale and beyond.
+1. Describe technology we could use to reduce the cost of running automation jobs significantly.
+
+## Proposals
+
+For now, we have technical 4 proposals;
+
+1. [Proposal 1: Using the `.gitlab-ci.yml` file](proposal-1-using-the-gitlab-ci-file.md)
+ Based on;
+ - [GitLab CI Workflows PoC](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/91244)
+ - [PoC NPM CI events](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/111693)
+1. [Proposal 2: Using the `rules` keyword](proposal-2-using-the-rules-keyword.md)
+ Highly inefficient way.
+1. [Proposal 3: Using the `.gitlab/ci/events` folder](proposal-3-using-the-gitlab-ci-events-folder.md)
+ Involves file reading for every event.
+1. [Proposal 4: Creating events via CI files](proposal-4-creating-events-via-ci-files.md)
+ Combination of some proposals.
+
+Each of them has its pros and cons. There could be many more proposals and we
+would like to discuss them all. We can combine the best part of those proposals
+and create a new one.

+# GitLab CI Events Proposal 1: Using the `.gitlab-ci.yml` file
+
+Currently, we have two proof-of-concept (POC) implementations:
+
+- [GitLab CI Workflows PoC](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/91244)
+- [PoC NPM CI events](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/111693)
+
+They both have similar ideas;
+
+1. Find a new CI Config syntax to define the pipeline events.
+
+ Example 1:
+
+ ```yaml
+ workflow:
+ events:
+ - events/package/published
+
+ # or
+
+ workflow:
+ on:
+ - events/package/published
+ ```
+
+ Example 2:
+
+ ```yaml
+ spec:
+ on:
+ - events/package/published
+ - events/package/removed
+ # on:
+ # package: [published, removed]
+ ---
+ do_something:
+ script: echo "Hello World"
+ ```
+
+1. Upsert an event to the database when creating a pipeline.
+1. Create [EventStore subscriptions](../../../development/event_store.md) to handle the events.
+
+## Problems & Questions
+
+1. The CI config of a project can be anything;
+ - `.gitlab-ci.yml` by default
+ - another file in the project
+ - another file in another project
+ - completely a remote/external file
+
+ How do we handle these cases?
+1. Since we have these problems above, should we keep the events in its own file? (`.gitlab-ci-events.yml`)
+1. Do we only accept the changes in the main branch?
+1. We try to create event subscriptions every time a pipeline is created.
+1. Can we move the existing workflows into the new CI events, for example, `merge_request_event`?

+
+1. We don't upsert anything to the database.
+1. We'll have a single worker which subcribes to events
+like `store.subscribe ::Ci::CreatePipelineFromEventWorker, to: ::Issues::CreatedEvent`.
+1. The worker just runs `Ci::CreatePipelineService` with the correct parameters, the rest
+will be handled by the `rules` system. Of course, we'll need modifications to the `rules` system to support `events`.
+
+## Problems & Questions
+
+1. For every defined event run, we need to enqueue a new `Ci::CreatePipelineFromEventWorker` job.
+1. The worker will need to run `Ci::CreatePipelineService` for every event run.
+This may be costly because we go through every cycle of `Ci::CreatePipelineService`.
+1. This would be highly inefficient.

+# GitLab CI Events Proposal 3: Using the `.gitlab/ci/events` folder
+
+We can also approach this problem by creating separate files for events.
+
+Let's say we'll have the `.gitlab/ci/events` folder (or `.gitlab/workflows/ci`).
+
+We can define events in the following format:
+
+```yaml
+# .gitlab/ci/events/package-published.yml
+
+spec:
+ events:
+ - name: package/published
+
+---
+
+include:
+ - local: .gitlab-ci.yml
+ with:
+ event: $[[ gitlab.event.name ]]
+```
+
+And in the `.gitlab-ci.yml` file, we can use the input;
+
+```yaml
+# .gitlab-ci.yml
+
+spec:
+ inputs:
+ event:
+ default: push
+
+---
+
+job1:

+

+ script: echo "Hello World"
+ rules:
+ - if: $[[ inputs.event ]] == "package/published"
+```
+
+When an event happens;
+
+1. We'll enqueue a new job for the event.
+1. The job will search for the event file in the `.gitlab/ci/events` folder.
+1. The job will run `Ci::CreatePipelineService` for the event file.
+
+## Problems & Questions
+
+1. For every defined event run, we need to enqueue a new job.
+1. Every event-job will need to search for files.
+1. This would be only for the project-scope events.
+1. This can be inefficient because of searching for files for the project for every event.

+# GitLab CI Events Proposal 4: Creating events via CI files
+
+Each project can have its own event configuration file. Let's call it `.gitlab-ci-event.yml` for now.
+In this file, we can define events in the following format:
+
+```yaml
+events:
+ - package/published
+ - issue/created
+```
+
+When this file is changed in the project repository, it is parsed and the events are created, updated, or deleted.
+This is highly similar to [Proposal 1](proposal-1-using-the-gitlab-ci-file.md) except that we don't need to
+track pipeline creations every time.
+
+1. Upsert events to the database when `.gitlab-ci-event.yml` is updated.
+1. Create [EventStore subscriptions](../../../development/event_store.md) to handle the events.
+
+## Filtering jobs
+
+We can filter jobs by using the `rules` keyword. For example:
+
+```yaml
+test_package_published:
+ script: echo testing published package
+ rules:
+ - events: ["package/published"]
+
+test_package_removed:
+ script: echo testing removed package
+ rules:
+ - events: ["package/removed"]
+```
+
+Otherwise, we can make it work either a CI variable;
+
+```yaml
+test_package_published:
+ script: echo testing published package
+ rules:
+ - if: $CI_EVENT == "package/published"
+
+test_package_removed:
+ script: echo testing removed package
+ rules:
+ - if: $CI_EVENT == "package/removed"
+```
+
+or an input like in the [Proposal 3](proposal-3-using-the-gitlab-ci-events-folder.md);
+
+```yaml
+spec:
+ inputs:
+ event:
+ default: push
+
+---
+
+test_package_published:
+ script: echo testing published package
+ rules:
+ - if: $[[ inputs.event ]] == "package/published"
+
+test_package_removed:
+ script: echo testing removed package
+ rules:
+ - if: $[[ inputs.event ]] == "package/removed"

+This document proposes a service-integration approach to setting up infrastructure to allow teams within GitLab to build new application features that leverage AI, ML, and data technologies at a rapid pace. The scope of the document is limited specifically to internally hosted features, not third-party APIs. The current application architecture runs most GitLab application features in Ruby. However, many ML/AI experiments require different resources and tools, implemented in different languages, with huge libraries that do not always play nicely together, and have different hardware requirements. Adding all these features to the existing infrastructure will increase the size of the GitLab application container rapidly, resulting in slower startup times, increased number of dependencies, security risks, negatively impacting development velocity, and increasing complexity due to different hardware requirements. As an alternative, the proposal suggests adding services to avoid overloading GitLabs main workloads. These services will run independently with isolated resources and dependencies. By adding services, GitLab can maintain the availability and security of GitLab.com, and enable engineers to rapidly iterate on new ML/AI experiments.
+
+## Scope
+
+The infrastructure, platform, and other changes related to ML/AI experiments is broad. This blueprint is limited specifically to the following scope:
+
+1. Production workloads, running (directly or indirectly) as a result of requests into the GitLab application (`gitlab.com`), or an associated subdomains (for example, `codesuggestions.gitlab.com`).
+1. Excludes requests from the GitLab application, made to third-party APIs outside of our infrastructure. From an Infrastructure point-of-view, external AI/ML API requests are no different from other API (non ML/AI) requests and generally follow the existing guidelines that are in place for calling external APIs.
+1. Excludes training and tuning workloads not _directly_ connected to our production workloads. Training and tuning workloads are distinct from production workloads and will be covered by their own blueprint(s).
+
+## Running Production ML/AI experiment workloads
+
+### Why Not Simply Continue To Use The Existing Application Architecture?
+
+Let's start with some background on how the application is deployed:
+
+1. Most GitLab application features are implemented in Ruby and run in one of two types of Ruby deployments: broadly Rails and Sidekiq (although we do partition this traffic further for different workloads).
+1. These Ruby workloads have two main container images `gitlab-webservice-ee` and `gitlab-sidekiq-ee`. All the code, libraries, binaries, and other resources that we use to support the main Ruby part of the codebase are embedded within these images.
+1. There are thousands of pods running these containers in production for GitLab.com at any moment in time. They are started up and shut down at a high rate throughout the day as traffic demands on the site fluctuate.
+1. For _most_ new features developed, any new supporting resources need to be added to either one, or both of these containers.
+
+![current containers](https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/e/2PACX-1vQh9ToJDy6ceKVMZxSJK5kjBjgKUKdnHcigqTz-Jte1G65aV9js5XZhCC-VYNtkJ_gnoNfob4z-DCui/pub?w=692&h=286)\
+[source](https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1RiTUnsDSkTGaMqK_RfUlCd_rQ6CgSInhfQJNewIKf1M/edit)
+
+Many of the initial discussions focus on adding supporting resources to these existing containers ([example](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/403630#note_1345192671)). Choosing this approach would have many downsides, in terms of both the velocity at which new features can be iterated on, and in terms of the availability of GitLab.com.
+
+Many of the AI experiments that GitLab is considering integrating into the application are substantially different from other libraries and tools that have been integrated in the past.
+
+1. ML toolkits are **implemented in a plethora of languages**, each requiring separate runtimes. Python, C, C++ are the most common, but there is a long tail of languages used.
+1. There are a very large number of tools that we're looking to integrate with and **no single tool will support all the features that are being investigated**. Tensorflow, PyTorch, Keras, Scikit-learn, Alpaca are just a few examples.
+1. **These libraries are huge**. Tensorflow's container image with GPU support is 3GB, PyTorch is 5GB, Keras is 300MB. Prophet is ~250MB.
+1. Many of these **libraries do not play nicely together**: they may have dependencies that are not compatible, or require different versions of Python, or GPU driver versions.
+
+It's likely that in the next few months, GitLab will experiment with many different features, using many different libraries.
+
+Trying to deploy all of these features into the existing infrastructure would have many downsides:
+
+1. **The size of the GitLab application container would expand very rapidly** as each new experiment introduces a new set of supporting libraries, each library is as big, or bigger, than the existing GitLab application within the container.
+1. **Startup times for new workloads would increase**, potentially impacting the availability of GitLab.com during high-traffic periods.
+1. The number of dependencies within the container would increase rapidly, putting pressure on the engineering teams to **keep ahead of exploits and vulnerabilities**.
+1. **The security attack surface within the container would be greatly increased** with each new dependency. These containers include secrets which, if leaked via an exploit would need costly application-wide secret rotation to be done.
+1. **Development velocity will be negatively impacted** as engineers work to avoid dependency conflicts between libraries.
+1. Additionally there may be **extra complexity due to different hardware requirements** for different libraries with appropriate drivers etc for GPUs, TPUs, CUDA versions, etc.
+1. Our Kubernetes workloads have been tuned for the existing multithreaded Ruby request (Rails) and message (Sidekiq) processes. Adding extremely resource-intensive applications into these workloads would affect unrelated requests, **starving requests of CPU and memory and requiring complex tuning to ensure fairness**. Failure to do this would impact our availability of GitLab.com.

+
+### Proposal: Avoid Overfilling GitLabs Application Containers with Service-Integration
+
+GitLab.com migrated to Kubernetes several years back, but for numerous good reasons, the application architecture deployed for GitLab.com remains fairly simple.
+
+Instead of embedding these applications directly into the Rails and/or Sidekiq containers, we run them as small, independent Kubernetes deployments, isolated from the main workload.
+
+![use services instead of fat containers](https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/e/2PACX-1vSRrPo0TNtXG8Yqj37TO2PaND9PojGZzNRs2rcTA37-vBZm5WZlfxLDCKVJD1vYHTbGy1KY1rDYHwlg/pub?w=1008&h=564)\
+[source](https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1ZPprcSYH5Oqp8T46I0p1Hhr-GD55iREDvFWcpQq9dTQ/edit)
+
+The service-integration approach has already been used for the [Suggested Reviewers feature](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/readiness/-/merge_requests/114) that has been deployed to GitLab.com.
+
+This approach would have many advantages:
+
+1. **Componentization and Replaceability**: some of these AI feature experiments will likely be short-lived. Being able to shut them down (possibly quickly, in an emergency, such as a security breach) is important. If they are terminated, they are less likely to leave technical debt behind in our main application workloads.
+1. **Security Isolation**: experimental services can run with access to a minimal set of secrets, or possibly none. Ideally, the services would be stateless, with data being passed in, processed, and returned to the caller without access to PostgreSQL or other data sources. In the event of a remote code exploit or other security breach, the attacker would have limited access to sensitive data.
+ 1. In lieu of direct access to the main or CI Postgres clusters, services would be provided with access to the internal GitLab API through a predefined internal URL. The platform should provide instrumentation and monitoring on this address.
+ 1. In future iterations, but out of scope for the initial delivery, the platform could facilitate automatic authentication against the internal API, for example by managing and injecting short-lived API tokens into internal API calls, or OIDC etc.
+1. **Resource Isolation**: resource-intensive workloads would be isolated to individual containers. OOM failures would not impact requests outside of the experiment. CPU saturation would not slow down unrelated requests.
+1. **Dependency Isolation**: different AI libraries will have conflicting dependencies. This will not be an issue if they're run as separate services in Kubernetes.
+1. **Container Size**: the size of the main application containers is not drastically increased, placing a burden on the application.
+1. **Distribution Team Bottleneck**: The Distribution team avoids becoming a bottleneck as demands for many different libraries to be included in the main application containers increase.
+1. **Stronger Ownership of Workloads**: teams can better understand how their workloads are running as they run in isolation.
+
+However, there are several outstanding questions:
+
+1. **Availability Requirements**: would experimental services have the same availability requirements (and alerting requirements) as the main application?
+1. **Oncall**: would teams be responsible for handling pager alerts for their services?
+1. **Support for non-SAAS GitLab instances**: initially all experiments would target GitLab.com, but eventually we may need to consider how to support other instances.
+ 1. There are three possible modes for services:
+ 1. `M1`: GitLab.com only: only GitLab.com supports the service.
+ 1. `M2`: SAAS-hosted for use with self-managed instance and instance-hosted: a singular SAAS-hosted service supports self-managed instances and GitLab.com. This is similar to the [GitLab Plus proposal](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/308).
+ 1. `M3`: Instance-hosted: each instance has a copy of the service. GitLab.com has a copy for GitLab.com. Self-managed instances host their copy of the service. This is similar to the container registry or Gitaly today.
+ 1. Initially, most experiments will probably be option 1 but may be promoted to 2 or 3 as they mature.
+1. **Promotion Process**: ML/AI experimental features will need to be promoted to non-experimental status as they mature. A process for this will need to be established.
+
+#### Proposed Guidelines for Building ML/AI Services
+
+1. Avoid adding any large ML/AI libraries needed to support experimentation to the main application.
+1. Create an platform to support individual ML/AI experiments.
+1. Encourage supporting services to be stateless (excluding deployed models and other resources generated during ML training).
+1. ML/AI experiment support services must not access main application datastores, including but not limited to main PostgreSQL, CI PostgreSQL, and main application Redis instances.
+1. In the main application, client code for services should reside behind a feature-flag toggle, for fine-grained control of the feature.
+
+#### Technical Details
+
+Some points, in greater detail:
+
+##### Traffic Access
+
+1. Ideally these services should not be exposed externally to Internet traffic: only internally to our existing Rails and Sidekiq workloads should be routed.
+ 1. For services intended to run at `M2`: "SAAS-hosted for use with self-managed instance and instance-hosted", we would expect to migrate the service to a public endpoint once sufficient security review has been performed.
+
+##### Platform Requirements
+
+In order to quickly deploy and manage experiments, an minimally viable platform will need to be provided to stage-group teams. The technical implementation details of this platform are out of scope for this blueprint and will require their own blueprint (to follow).
+
+However, Service-Integration will establish certain necessary and optional requirements that the platform will need to satisfy.
+
+###### Ease of Use, Ownership Requirements
+
+1. <a name="R100">`R100`</a>: Required: the platform should be easy to use: imagine Heroku with [GitLab Production Readiness-approved](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/infrastructure/production/readiness/) defaults.
+1. <a name="R110">`R110`</a>: Required: with the exception of an Infrastructure-led onboarding process, services are owned, deployed and managed by stage-group teams. In other words,services follow a "You Build It, You Run It" model of ownership.
+1. <a name="R120">`R120`</a>: Required: programming-language agnostic: no requirements for services. Services should be packaged as container images.
+1. <a name="R130">`R130`</a>: Recommended: Each service should be evaluated against the GitLab.com [Service Maturity Model](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/infrastructure/service-maturity-model/).
+1. <a name="R140">`R140`</a>: Recommended: services using the platform have expedited production-readiness processes.
+ 1. Production-readiness requirements graded by service maturity: low-traffic, low-maturity experimental services will have lower requirement thresholds than more mature services.
+ 1. By default, the platform should provide services with defaults that would pass production-readiness review for the lowest service maturity-level.
+ 1. At introduction, lowest maturity services can be deployed without production readiness, provided the meet certain automatically validated requirements. This removes Infrastructure gate-keeping from being a blocker to experimental service delivery.
+
+###### Observability Requirements
+
+1. <a name="R200">`R200`</a>: Required: the platform must provide SLIs for services out-of-the-box.
+ 1. While it is recommended that services expose internal metrics, it is not mandatory. The platform will provide monitoring from the load-balancer. This is to speed up deployment by removing barriers to experimentation.
+ 1. For services that provide internal metrics scrape endpoints, the platform must be configurable to collect these.
+ 1. The platform must provide generic load-balancer level SLIs for all services. Service owners must be able to select from constructing SLIs from internal application metrics, the platform-provided external SLIs, or a combination of both.
+1. <a name="R210">`R210`</a>: Required: Observability dashboards, rules, alerts (with per-term routing) must be generated from a manifest.
+1. <a name="R220">`R220`</a>:Required: standardized logging infrastructure.
+ 1. Mandate that all logging emitted from services must be Structured JSON. Text logs are permitted but not recommended.
+ 1. See [Common Service Libraries](#common-service-libraries) for more details of building common SDKs for observability.
+
+###### Deployment Requirements
+
+1. <a name="R300">`R300`</a>: Required: No secrets stored in CI/CD.
+ 1. Authentication with Cloud Provider Resources should be exclusively via OIDC, managed as part of the platform.
+ 1. Secrets should be stored in the Infrastructure-provided Hashicorp Vault for the environment and passed to applications through files or environment variables.
+ 1. Generation and management of service account tokens should be done declaratively, without manual interaction.
+1. <a name="R310">`R310`</a>: Required: multiple environment should be supported, eg Staging and Production.
+1. <a name="R320">`R320`</a>: Required: the platform should be cost-effective. Kubernetes clusters should support multiple services and teams.
+1. <a name="R330">`R330`</a>: Recommended: gradual rollouts, rollbacks, blue-green deployments.
+1. <a name="R340">`R340`</a>: Required: services should be isolated from one another.
+1. <a name="R350">`R350`</a>: Recommended: services should have the ability to specify node characteristic requirements (eg, GPU).
+1. <a name="R360">`R360`</a>: Required: Developers should not need knowledge of Helm, Kubernetes, Prometheus in order to deploy. All required values are configured and validated in project-hosted manifest before generating Kubernetes manifests, Prometheus rules, etc.
+1. <a name="R370">`R370`</a>: Initially services should be synchronous only - using REST or GRPC requests.
+ 1. This does not however preclude long-running HTTP(s) requests, for example long-polling or Websocket requests.
+1. <a name="R390">`R390`</a>: Each service hosted in its own GitLab repository with deployment manifest stored in the repository.
+ 1. Continuous deployments that are initiated from the CI pipeline of the corresponding GitLab repository.
+
+##### Security Requirements
+
+1. <a name="R400">`R400`</a>: stateful services deployed on the platform that utilize their own stateful storage (for example, custom deployed Postgres instance), must not store application security tokens, cloud-provider service keys or other long-lived security tokens in their stateful stores.
+1. <a name="R410">`R410`</a>: long-lived shared secrets are discouraged, and should be referenced in the service manifest as such, to allow for accounting and monitoring.
+1. <a name="R420">`R420`</a>: services using long-lived shared secrets should ensure that secret rotation can take place without downtime.
+ 1. During a rotation, old and new generations of secrets should pass authentication, allowing gradual roll-out of new secrets.
+
+##### Common Service Libraries
+
+1. <a name="R500">`R500`</a>: Experimental services would be strongly encouraged to adopt and use [LabKit](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/labkit) (for Go services), or [LabKit-Ruby](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/ruby/gems/labkit-ruby) for observability, context, correlation, FIPs verification, etc.
+ 1. At present, there is no LabKit-Python library, but some experiments will run in Python, so building a library to providing observability, context, correlation services in Python will be required.

+# Iterate on the design of object pools
+
+## Summary
+
+Forking repositories is at the heart of many modern workflows for projects
+hosted in GitLab. As most of the objects between a fork and its upstream project
+will typically be the same, this opens up potential for optimizations:
+
+- Creating forks can theoretically be lightning fast if we reuse much of the
+ parts of the upstream repository.
+
+- We can save on storage space by deduplicating objects which are shared.
+
+This architecture is currently implemented with object pools which hold objects
+of the primary repository. But the design of object pools has organically grown
+and is nowadays showing its limits.
+
+This blueprint explores how we can iterate on the design of object pools to fix
+long standing issues with it. Furthermore, the intent is to arrive at a design
+that lets us iterate more readily on the exact implementation details of object
+pools.
+
+## Motivation
+
+The current design of object pools is showing problems with scalability in
+various different ways. For a large part the problems come from the fact that
+object pools have organically grown and that we learned as we went by.
+
+It is proving hard to fix the overall design of object pools because there is no
+clear ownership. While Gitaly provides the low-level building blocks to make
+them work, it does not have enough control over them to be able to iterate on
+their implementation details.
+
+There are thus two major goals: taking ownership of object pools so that it
+becomes easier to iterate on the design, and fixing scalability issues once we
+can iterate.
+
+### Lifecycle ownership
+
+While Gitaly provides the interfaces to manage object pools, the actual life
+cycle of them is controlled by the client. A typical lifecycle of an object pool
+looks as following:
+
+1. An object pool is created via `CreateObjectPool()`. The caller provides the
+ path where the object pool shall be created as well as the origin repository
+ from which the repository shall be created.
+
+1. The origin repository needs to be linked to the object pool explicitly by
+ calling `LinkRepositoryToObjectPool()`.
+
+1. The object pool needs to be regularly updated via `FetchIntoObjectPool()`
+ that fetches all changes from the primary pool member into the object pool.
+
+1. To create forks, the client needs to call `CreateFork()` followed by
+ `LinkRepositoryToObjectPool()`.
+
+1. Repositories of forks are unlinked by calling `DisconnectGitAlternates()`.
+ This will reduplicate objects.
+
+1. The object pool is deleted via `DeleteObjectPool()`.
+
+This lifecycle is complex and leaks a lot of implementation details to the
+caller. This was originally done in part to give the Rails side control and
+management over Git object visibility. GitLab project visibility rules are
+complex and not a Gitaly concern. By exposing these details Rails can control
+when pool membership links are created and broken. It is not clear at the
+current point in time how the complete system works and its limits are not
+explicitly documented.
+
+In addition to the complexity of the lifecycle we also have multiple sources of
+truth for pool membership. Gitaly never tracks the set of members of a pool
+repository but can only tell for a specific repository that it is part of said
+pool. Consequently, Rails is forced to maintain this information in a database,
+but it is hard to maintain that information without becoming stale.
+
+### Repository maintenance
+
+Related to the lifecycle ownership issues is the issue of repository
+maintenance. As mentioned, keeping an object pool up to date requires regular
+calls to `FetchIntoObjectPool()`. This is leaking implementation details to the
+client, but was done to give the client control over syncing the primary
+repository with its object pool. With this control, private repositories can be
+prevented from syncing and consquently leaking objects to other repositories in
+the fork network.
+
+We have had good success with moving repository maintenance into Gitaly so that
+clients do not need to know about on-disk details. Ideally, we would do the same
+for repositories that are the primary member of an object pool: if we optimize
+its on-disk state, we will also automatically update the object pool.
+
+There are two issues that keep us from doing so:
+
+- Gitaly does not know about the relationship between an object pool and its
+ members.
+
+- Updating object pools is expensive.
+
+By making Gitaly the single source of truth for object pool memberships we would
+be in a position to fix both issues.
+
+### Fast forking
+
+In the current implementation, Rails first invokes `CreateFork()` which results
+in a complete `git-clone(1)` being performed to generate the fork repository.
+This is followed by `LinkRepositoryToObjectPool()` to link the fork with the
+object pool. It is not until housekeeping is performed on the fork repository
+that objects are deduplicated. This is not only leaking implementation details
+to clients, but it also keeps us from reaping the full potential benefit of
+object pools.
+
+In particular, creating forks is a lot slower than it could be since a clone is
+always performed before linking. If the steps of creating the fork and linking
+the fork to the pool repository were unified, the initial clone could be
+avoided.
+
+### Clustered object pools
+
+Gitaly Cluster and object pools development overlapped. Consequently they are
+known to not work well together. Praefect does neither ensure that repositories
+with object pools have their object pools present on all nodes, nor does it
+ensure that object pools are in a known state. If at all, object pools only work
+by chance.
+
+The current state has led to cases where object pools were missing or had
+different contents per node. This can result in inconsistently observed state in
+object pool members and writes that depend on the object pool's contents to
+fail.
+
+One way object pools might be handled for clustered Gitaly could be to have the
+pool repositories duplicated on nodes that contain repositories dependent on
+them. This would allow members of a fork network to exist of different nodes. To
+make this work, repository replciation would have to be aware of object pools
+and know when it needs to duplicate them onto a particular node.
+
+## Requirements
+
+There are a set of requirements and invariants that must be given for any
+particular solution.
+
+### Private upstream repositories should not leak objects to forks
+
+When a project has a visibility setting that is not public, the objects in the
+repository should not be fetched into an object pool. An object pool should only
+ever contain objects from the upstream repository that were at one point public.
+This prevents private upstream repositories from having objects leaked to forks
+through a shared object pool.
+
+### Forks cannot sneak objects into upstream projects
+
+It should not be possible to make objects uploaded in a fork repository
+accessible in the upstream repository via a shared object pool. Otherwise
+potentially unauthorized users would be able to "sneak in" objects into
+repositories by simply forking them.
+
+Despite leading to confusion, this could also serve as a mechanism to corrupt
+upstream repositories by introducing objects that are known to be broken.
+
+### Object pool lifetime exceeds upstream repository lifetime
+
+If the upstream repository gets deleted, its object pool should remain in place
+to provide continued deduplication of shared objects between the other
+repositories in the fork network. Thus it can be said that the lifetime of the
+object pool is longer than the lifetime of the upstream repository. An object
+pool should only be deleted if there are no longer any repositories referencing
+it.
+
+### Object lifetime
+
+By deduplicating objects in a fork network, repositories become dependent on the
+object pool. Missing objects in the pooled repository could lead to corruption
+of repositories in the fork network. Therefore, objects in the pooled repository
+must continue to exist as long as there are repositories referencing them.
+
+Without a mechanism to accurately determine if a pooled object is referenenced
+by one of more repositories, all objects in the pooled repository must remain.
+Only when there are no repositories referencing the object pool can the pooled
+repository, and therfore all its objects, be removed.
+
+### Object sharing
+
+An object that is deduplicated will become accessible from all forks of a
+particular repository, even if it has never been reachable in any of the forks.
+The consequence is that any write to an object pool immediately influences all
+of its members.
+
+We need to be mindful of this property when repositories connected to an object
+pool are replicated. As the user-observable state should be the same on all
+replicas, we need to ensure that both the repository and its object pool are
+consistent across the different nodes.
+
+## Proposal
+
+In the current design, management of object pools mostly happens on the client
+side as they need to manage their complete lifecyclethem. This requires Rails to
+store the object pool relationships in the Rails database, perform fine-grained
+management of every single step of an object pool's life, and perform periodic
+Sidekiq jobs to enforce state by calling idempotent Gitaly RPCs. This design
+significantly increases complexity of an already-complex mechanism.
+
+Instead of handling the full lifecycle of object pools on the client-side, this
+document proposes to instead encapsulate the object pool lifecycle management
+inside of Gitaly. Instead of performing low-level actions to maintain object
+pools, clients would only need to tell Gitaly about updated relationships
+between a repository and its object pool.
+
+This brings us multiple advantages:
+
+- The inherent complexity of the lifecycle management is encapsulated in a
+ single place, namely Gitaly.
+
+- Gitaly is in a better position to iterate on the low-level technical design of
+ object pools in case we find a better solution compared to "alternates" in the
+ future.
+
+- We can ensure better interplay between Gitaly Cluster, object pools and
+ repository housekeeping.
+
+- Gitaly becomes the single source of truth for object pool relationships and
+ can thus start to manage it better.
+
+Overall, the goal is to raise the abstraction level so that clients need to
+worry less about the technical details while Gitaly is in a better position to
+iterate on them.
+
+### Move lifecycle management of pools into Gitaly
+
+The lifecycle management of object pools is leaking too many details to the
+client, and by doing so makes parts things both hard to understand and
+inefficient.
+
+The current solution relies on a set of fine-grained RPCs that manage the
+relationship between repositories and their object pools. Instead, we are aiming
+for a simplified approach that only exposes the high-level concept of forks to
+the client. This will happen in the form of three RPCs:
+
+- `ForkRepository()` will create a fork of a given repository. If the upstream
+ repository does not yet have an object pool, Gitaly will create it. It will
+ then create the new repository and automatically link it to the object pool.
+ The upstream repository will be recorded as primary member of the object pool,
+ the fork will be recorded as a secondary member of the object pool.
+
+- `UnforkRepository()` will remove a repository from the object pool it is
+ connected to. This will stop deduplication of objects. For the primary object
+ pool member this also means that Gitaly will stop pulling new objects into the
+ object pool.
+
+- `GetObjectPool()` returns the object pool for a given repository. The pool
+ description will contain information about the pool's primary object pool
+ member as well as all secondary object pool members.
+
+Furthermore, the following changes will be implemented:
+
+- `RemoveRepository()` will remove the repository from its object pool. If it
+ was the last object pool member, the pool will be removed.
+
+- `OptimizeRepository()`, when executed on the primary object pool member, will
+ also update and optimize the object pool.
+
+- `ReplicateRepository()` needs to be aware of object pools and replicate them
+ correctly. Repositories shall be linked to and unlink from object pools as
+ required. While this is a step towards fixing the Praefect world, which may
+ seem redundant given that we plan to deprecate Praefect anyway, this RPC call
+ is also used for other use cases like repository rebalancing.
+
+With these changes, Gitaly will have much tighter control over the lifecycle of
+object pools. Furthermore, as it starts to track the membership of repositories
+in object pools it can become the single source of truth for fork networks.
+
+### Fix inefficient maintenance of object pools
+
+In order to update object pools, Gitaly performs a fetch of new objects from the
+primary object pool member into the object pool. This fetch is inefficient as it
+needs to needlessly negotiate objects that are new in the primary object pool
+member. But given that objects are deduplicated already in the primary object
+pool member it means that it should only have objects in its object database
+that do not yet exist in the object pool. Consequently, we should be able to
+skip the negotiation completely and instead link all objects into the object
+pool that exist in the source repository.
+
+In the current design, these objects are kept alive by creating references to
+the just-fetched objects. If the fetch deleted references or force-updated any
+references, then it may happen that previously-referenced objects become
+unreferenced. Gitaly thus creates keep-around references so that they cannot
+ever be deleted. Furthermore, those references are required in order to properly
+replicate object pools as the replication is reference-based.
+
+These two things can be solved in different ways:
+
+- We can set the `preciousObjects` repository extension. This will instruct all
+ versions of Git which understand this extension to never delete any objects
+ even if `git-prune(1)` or similar commands were executed. Versions of Git that
+ do not understand this extension would refuse to work in this repository.
+
+- Instead of replicating object pools via `git-fetch(1)`, we can instead
+ replicate them by sending over all objects part of the object database.
+
+Taken together this means that we can stop writing references in object pools
+altogether. This leads to efficient updates of object pools by simply linking
+all new objects into place, and it fixes issues we have seen with unbounded
+growth of references in object pools.
+
+## Design and implementation details
+
+<!--
+
+This section intentionally left blank. I first want to reach consensus on the
+bigger picture I'm proposing in this blueprint before I iterate and fill in the
+lower-level design and implementation details.
+
+-->
+
+## Problems with the design
+
+As mentioned before, object pools are not a perfect solution. This section goes
+over the most important issues.
+
+### Complexity of lifecycle management
+
+Even though the lifecycle of object pools becomes easier to handle once it is
+fully owned by Gitaly, it is still complex and needs to be considered in many
+ways. Handling object pools in combination with their repositories is not an
+atomic operation as any action by necessity spans over at least two different
+resources.
+
+### Performance issues
+
+As object pools deduplicate objects, the end result is that object pool members
+never have the full closure of objects in a single packfile. This is not
+typically an issue for the primary object pool member, which by definition
+cannot diverge from the object pool's contents. But secondary object pool
+members can and often will diverge from the original contents of the upstream
+repository.
+
+This leads to two different sets of reachable objects in secondary object pool
+members. Unfortunately, due to limitations in Git itself, this precludes the use
+of a subset of optimizations:
+
+- Packfiles cannot be reused as efficiently when serving fetches to serve
+ already-deltified objects. This requires Git to recompute deltas on the fly
+ for object pool members which have diverged from object pools.
+
+- Packfile bitmaps can only exist in object pools as it is not possible nor
+ easily feasible for these bitmaps to cover multiple object databases. This
+ requires Git to traverse larger parts of the object graph for many operations
+ and especially when serving fetches.
+
+### Dependent writes across repositories
+
+The design of object pools introduces significant complexity into the Raft world
+where we use a write-ahead log for all changes to repositories. In the ideal
+case, a Raft-based design would only need to care about the write-ahead log of a
+single repository when considering requests. But with object pools, we are
+forced to consider both reads and writes for a pooled repository to be dependent
+on all writes in its object pool having been applied.
+
+## Alternative Solutions
+
+The proposed solution is not obviously the best choice as it has issues both
+with complexity (management of the lifecycle) and performance (inefficiently
+served fetches for pool members).
+
+This section explores alternatives to object pools and why they have not been
+chosen as the new target architecture.
+
+### Stop using object pools altogether
+
+An obvious way to avoid all of the complexity is to stop using object pools
+altogether. While it is charming from an engineering point of view as we can
+significantly simplify the architecture, it is not a viable approach from the
+product perspective as it would mean that we cannot support efficient forking
+workflows.
+
+### Primary repository as object pool
+
+Instead of creating an explicit object pool repository, we could just use the
+upstream repository as an alternate object database of all forks. This avoids a
+lot of complexity around managing the lifetime of the object pool, at least
+superficially. Furthermore, it circumvents the issue of how to update object
+pools as it will always match the contents of the upstream repository.
+
+It has a number of downsides though:
+
+- Normal repositories can now have different states, where some of the
+ repositories are allowed to prune objects and others aren't. This introduces a
+ source of uncertainty and makes it easy to accidentally delete objects in a
+ normal repository and thus corrupt its forks.
+
+- When upstream repositories go private we must stop updating objects which are
+ supposed to be deduplicated across members of the fork network. This means
+ that we would ultimately still be forced to create object pools once this
+ happens in order to freeze the set of deduplicated objects at the point in
+ time where the repository goes private.
+
+- Deleting repositories becomes more complex as we need to take into account
+ whether a repository is linked to by forks.
+
+### Reference namespaces
+
+With `gitnamespaces(7)`, Git provides a mechanism to partition references into
+different sets of namespaces. This allows us to serve all forks from a single
+repository that contains all objects.
+
+One neat property is that we have the global view of objects referenced by all
+forks together in a single object database. We can thus easily perform shared
+housekeeping across all forks at once, including deletion of objects that are
+not used by any of the forks anymore. Regarding objects, this is likely to be
+the most efficient solution we could potentially aim for.
+
+There are again some downsides though:
+
+- Calculating usage quotas must by necessity use actual reachability of objects
+ into account, which is expensive to compute. This is not a showstopper, but
+ something to keep in mind.
+
+- One stated requirement is that it must not be possible to make objects
+ reachable in other repositories from forks. This property could theoretically
+ be enforced by only allowing access to reachable objects. That way an object
+ can only be accessed through virtual repository if the object is reachable from
+ its references. Reachability checks are too compute heavy for this to be practical.
+
+- Even though references are partitioned, large fork networks would still easily
+ end up with multiple millions of references. It is unclear what the impact on
+ performance would be.
+
+- The blast radius for any repository-level attacks significantly increases as
+ you would not only impact your own repository, but also all forks.
+
+- Custom hooks would have to be isolated for each of the virtual repositories.
+ Since the execution of Git hooks is controled it should be possible to handle
+ this for each of the namespaces.
+
+### Filesystem-based deduplication
+
+The idea of deduplicating objects on the filesystem level was floating around at
+several points in time. While it would be nice if we could shift the burden of
+this to another component, it is likely not easy to implement due to the nature
+of how Git works.
+
+The most important contributing factor to repository sizes are Git objects.
+While it would be possible to store the objects in their loose representation
+and thus deduplicate on that level, this is infeasible:
+
+- Git would not be able to deltify objects, which is an extremely important
+ mechanism to reduce on-disk size. It is unlikely that the size reduction
+ caused by deduplication would outweigh the size reduction gained from the
+ deltification mechanism.
+
+- Loose objects are significantly less efficient when accessing the repository.
+
+- Serving fetches requires us to send a packfile to the client. Usually, Git is
+ able to reuse large parts of already-existing packfiles, which significantly
+ reduces the computational overhead.
+
+Deduplicating on the loose-object level is thus infeasible.
+
+The other unit that one could try to deduplicate is packfiles. But packfiles are
+not deterministically generated by Git and will furthermore be different once
+repositories start to diverge from each other. So packfiles are not a natural
+fit for filesystem-level deduplication either.
+
+An alternative could be to use hard links of packfiles across repositories. This
+would cause us to duplicate storage space whenever any repository decides to
+perform a repack of objects and would thus be unpredictable and hard to manage.
+
+### Custom object backend
+
+In theory, it would be possible to implement a custom object backend that allows
+us to store objects in such a way that we can deduplicate them across forks.
+There are several technical hurdles though that keep us from doing so without
+significant upstream investments:
+
+- Git is not currently designed to have different backends for objects. Accesses
+ to files part of the object database are littered across the code base with no
+ abstraction level. This is in contrast to the reference database, which has at
+ least some level of abstraction.
+
+- Implementing a custom object backend would likely necessitate a fork of the
+ Git project. Even if we had the resources to do so, it would introduce a major
+ risk factor due to potential incompatibilities with upstream changes. It would
+ become impossible to use vanilla Git, which is often a requirement that exists
+ in the context of Linux distributions that package GitLab.
+
+Both the initial and the operational risk of ongoing maintenance are too high to
+really justify this approach for now. We might revisit this approach in the
+future.

+# Organization
+
+This document is a work in progress and represents the current state of the Organization design.
+
+## Glossary
+
+- Organization: An Organization is the umbrella for one or multiple top-level groups. Organizations are isolated from each other by default meaning that cross-namespace features will only work for namespaces that exist in a single Organization.
+- Top-level group: Top-level group is the name given to the topmost group of all other groups. Groups and projects are nested underneath the top-level group.
+- Cell: A Cell is a set of infrastructure components that contains multiple Organizations. The infrastructure components provided in a Cell are shared among Organizations, but not shared with other Cells. This isolation of infrastructure components means that Cells are independent from each other.
+- User: An Organization has many users. Joining an Organization makes someone a user of that Organization.
+- Member: Adding a user to a group or project within an Organization makes them a member. Members are always users, but users are not necessarily members of a group or project within an Organization. For instance, a user could just have accepted the invitation to join an Organization, but not be a member of any group or project it contains.
+- Non-user: A non-user of an Organization means a user is not part of that specific Organization.
+
+## Summary
+
+Organizations solve the following problems:
+
+1. Enables grouping of top-level groups. For example, the following top-level groups would belong to the Organization `GitLab`:
+ 1. `https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/`
+ 1. `https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/`
+1. Allows different Organizations to be isolated. Top-level groups of the same Organization can interact with each other but not with groups in other Organizations, providing clear boundaries for an Organization, similar to a self-managed instance. Isolation should have a positive impact on performance and availability as things like user dashboards can be scoped to Organizations.
+1. Allows integration with Cells. Isolating Organizations makes it possible to allocate and distribute them across different Cells.
+1. Removes the need to define hierarchies. An Organization is a container that could be filled with whatever hierarchy/entity set makes sense (Organization, top-level groups, etc.)
+1. Enables centralized control of user profiles. With an Organization-specific user profile, administrators can control the user's role in a company, enforce user emails, or show a graphical indicator that a user as part of the Organization. An example could be adding a "GitLab employee" stamp on comments.
+1. Organizations bring an on-premise-like experience to SaaS (GitLab.com). The Organization admin will have access to instance-equivalent Admin Area settings with most of the configuration controlled on Organization level.
+
+## Motivation
+
+### Goals
+
+The Organization focuses on creating a better experience for Organizations to manage their GitLab experience. By introducing Organizations and [Cells](../cells/index.md) we can improve the reliability, performance and availability of our SaaS Platforms.
+
+- Wider audience: Many instance-level features are admin only. We do not want to lock out users of GitLab.com in that way. We want to make administrative capabilities that previously only existed for self-managed users available to our SaaS users as well. This also means we would give users of GitLab.com more independence from GitLab.com admins in the long run. Today, there are actions that self-managed admins can perform that GitLab.com users have to request from GitLab.com admins.
+- Improved UX: Inconsistencies between the features available at the project and group levels create navigation and usability issues. Moreover, there isn't a dedicated place for Organization-level features.
+- Aggregation: Data from all groups and projects in an Organization can be aggregated.
+- An Organization includes settings, data, and features from all groups and projects under the same owner (including personal namespaces).
+- Cascading behavior: Organization cascades behavior to all the projects and groups that are owned by the same Organization. It can be decided at the Organization level whether a setting can be overridden or not on the levels beneath.
+
+### Non-Goals
+
+Due to urgency of delivering Organizations as a prerequisite for Cells, it is currently not a goal to build Organization functionality on the namespace framework.
+
+## Proposal
+
+We create Organizations as a new lightweight entity, with just the features and workflows which it requires. We already have much of the functionality present in groups and projects, and groups themselves are essentially already the top-level entity. It is unlikely that we need to add significant features to Organizations outside of some key settings, as top-level groups can continue to serve this purpose at least on SaaS.
+
+```mermaid
+graph TD
+ o[Organization] -. has many .- g
+ ns[Namespace] --> g[Group]
+ ns[Namespace] --> pns[ProjectNamespace] -. has one .- p[Project]
+ ns --> un[UserNamespace]
+ g -. has many .- p
+ un -. has many .- p
+ ns[Namespace] -. has many .- ns[Namespace]
+```
+
+Self-managed instances would set a default Organization.
+
+### Benefits
+
+- No changes to URL's for groups moving under an Organization, which makes moving around top-level groups very easy.
+- Low risk rollout strategy, as there is no conversion process for existing top-level groups.
+- Organization becomes the key for identifying what is part of an Organization, which is likely on its own table for performance and clarity.
+
+### Drawbacks
+
+- It is unclear right now how we would avoid continuing to spend effort to build instance (or not Organization) features, in particular much of the reporting. This is not an issue on SaaS as top-level groups already have this capability, however it is a challenge on self-managed. If we introduce a built-in Organization (or just none at all) for self-managed, it seems like we would need to continue to build instance/Organization level reporting features as we would not get that for free along with the work to add to groups.
+- Billing may need to be moved from top-level groups to Organization level.
+
+## Design and Implementation Details
+
+### Organization MVC
+
+The Organization MVC will contain the following functionality:
+
+- Instance setting to allow the creation of multiple Organizations. This will be enabled by default on GitLab.com, and disabled for self-managed GitLab.
+- Every instance will have a default organization. Initially, all users will be managed by this default Organization.
+- Organization Owner. The creation of an Organization appoints that user as the Organization Owner. Once established, the Organization Owner can appoint other Organization Owners.
+- Organization users. A user is managed by one Organization, but can be part of multiple Organizations.
+- Setup settings. Containing the Organization name, ID, description, README, and avatar. Settings are editable by the Organization Owner.
+- Setup flow. Users are able to build an Organization on top of an existing top-level group. New users are able to create an Organization from scratch and to start building top-level groups from there.
+- Visibility. Options will be `public` and `private`. A nonuser of a specific Organization will not see private Organizations in the explore section. Visibility is editable by the Organization Owner.
+- Organization settings page with the added ability to remove an Organization. Deletion of the default Organization is prevented.
+- Groups. This includes the ability to create, edit, and delete groups, as well as a Groups overview that can be accessed by the Organization Owner.
+- Projects. This includes the ability to create, edit, and delete projects, as well as a Projects overview that can be accessed by the Organization Owner.
+
+### Organization Access
+
+#### Organization Users
+
+Organization Users can get access to groups and projects as:
+
+- A group member: this grants access to the group and all its projects, regardless of their visibility.
+- A project member: this grants access to the project, and limited access to parent groups, regardless of their visibility.
+- A non-member: this grants access to public and internal groups and projects of that Organization. To access a private group or project in an Organization, a user must become a member.
+
+Organization Users can be managed by the Organization as:
+
+- Enterprise Users, managed by the Organization. This includes control over their user account and the ability to block the user.
+- Non-Enterprise Users, managed by the User. Non-Enterprise Users can be removed from an Organization, but their user account remains in their control.
+
+Enterprise Users are only available to Organizations with a Premium or Ultimate subscription. Organizations on the free tier will only be able to host Non-Enterprise Users.
+
+#### Organization Non-Users
+
+Non-users are external to the Organization and can only access the public resources of an Organization, such as public projects.
+
+## Iteration Plan
+
+The following iteration plan outlines how we intend to arrive at the Organization MVC. We are following the guidelines for [Experiment, Beta, and Generally Available features](../../../policy/alpha-beta-support.md).
+
+### Iteration 1: Organization Prototype (FY24Q2)
+
+In iteration 1, we introduce the concept of an Organization as a way to group top-level groups together. Support for Organizations does not require any [Cells](../cells/index.md) work, but having them will make all subsequent iterations of Cells simpler. The goal of iteration 1 will be to generate a prototype that can be used by GitLab teams to test moving functionality to the Organization. It contains everything that is necessary to move an Organization to a Cell:
+
+- The Organization can be named, has an ID and an avatar.
+- Only non-enterprise user can be part of an Organization.
+- A user can be part of multiple Organizations.
+- A single Organization Owner can be assigned.
+- Groups can be created in an Organization. Groups are listed in the Groups overview.
+- Projects can be created in a Group. Projects are listed in the Projects overview.
+
+### Iteration 2: Organization MVC Experiment (FY24Q3)
+
+In iteration 2, an Organization MVC Experiment will be released. We will test the functionality with a select set of customers and improve the MVC based on these learnings. Users will be able to build an Organization on top of their existing top-level group.
+
+- The Organization has a description and a README.
+
+### Iteration 3: Organization MVC Beta (FY24Q4)
+
+In iteration 3, the Organization MVC Beta will be released.
+
+- Multiple Organization Owners can be assigned.
+- Enterprise users can be added to an Organization.
+
+### Iteration 4: Organization MVC GA (FY25Q1)
+
+### Post-MVC Iterations
+
+After the initial rollout of Organizations, the following functionality will be added to address customer needs relating to their implementation of GitLab:
+
+1. Internal visibility will be made available on Organizations that are part of GitLab.com.
+1. Move billing from top-level group to Organization.
+1. Audit events at the Organization level.
+1. Set merge request approval rules at the Organization level and cascade to all groups and projects.
+1. Security policies at the Organization level.
+1. Vulnerability reports at the Organization level.
+1. Cascading Organization setting to enforce security scans.
+1. Scan result policies at the Organization level.
+1. Compliance frameworks.
+
+## Alternative Solutions
+
+An alternative approach to building Organizations is to convert top-level groups into Organizations. The main advantage of this approach is that features could be built on top of the namespace framework and therewith leverage functionality that is already available at the group level. We would avoid building the same feature multiple times. However, Organizations have been identified as a critical driver of Cells. Due to the urgency of delivering Cells, we decided to opt for the quickest and most straightforward solution to deliver an Organization, which is the lightweight design described above. More details on comparing the two Organization proposals can be found [here](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/tenant-scale-group/group-tasks/-/issues/56).

-# Pods
+This document was moved to [another location](../cells/index.md).
-This document is a work-in-progress and represents a very early state of the Pods design. Significant aspects are not documented, though we expect to add them in the future.
-
-## Summary
-
-Pods is a new architecture for our Software as a Service platform that is horizontally-scalable, resilient, and provides a more consistent user experience. It may also provide additional features in the future, such as data residency control (regions) and federated features.
-
-## Terminology
-
-We use the following terms to describe components and properties of the Pods architecture.
-
-### Pod
-
-A Pod is a set of infrastructure components that contains multiple top-level namespaces that belong to different organizations. The components include both datastores (PostgreSQL, Redis etc.) and stateless services (web etc.). The infrastructure components provided within a Pod are shared among organizations and their top-level namespaces but not shared with other Pods. This isolation of infrastructure components means that Pods are independent from each other.
-
-![Term Pod](images/term-pod.png)
-
-#### Pod properties
-
-- Each pod is independent from the others
-- Infrastructure components are shared by organizations and their top-level namespaces within a Pod
-- More Pods can be provisioned to provide horizontal scalability
-- A failing Pod does not lead to failure of other Pods
-- Noisy neighbor effects are limited to within a Pod
-- Pods are not visible to organizations; it is an implementation detail
-- Pods may be located in different geographical regions (for example, EU, US, JP, UK)
-
-Discouraged synonyms: GitLab instance, cluster, shard
-
-### Cluster
-
-A cluster is a collection of Pods.
-
-![Term Cluster](images/term-cluster.png)
-
-#### Cluster properties
-
-- A cluster holds cluster-wide metadata, for example Users, Routes, Settings.
-
-Discouraged synonyms: whale
-
-### Organizations
-
-GitLab references [Organizations in the initial set up](../../../topics/set_up_organization.md) and users can add a (free text) organization to their profile. There is no Organization entity established in the GitLab codebase.
-
-As part of delivering Pods, we propose the introduction of an `organization` entity. Organizations would represent billable entities or customers.
-
-Organizations are a known concept, present for example in [AWS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/latest/organizing-your-aws-environment/core-concepts.html) and [GCP](https://cloud.google.com/resource-manager/docs/cloud-platform-resource-hierarchy#organizations).
-
-Organizations work under the following assumptions:
-
-1. Users care about what happens within their organizations.
-1. Features need to work within an organization.
-1. Only few features need to work across organizations.
-1. Users understand that the majority of pages they view are only scoped to a single organization at a time.
-1. Organizations are located on a single pod.
-
-![Term Organization](images/term-organization.png)
-
-#### Organization properties
-
-- Top-level namespaces belong to organizations
-- Users can be members of different organizations
-- Organizations are isolated from each other by default meaning that cross-namespace features will only work for namespaces that exist within a single organization
-- User namespaces must not belong to an organization
-
-Discouraged synonyms: Billable entities, customers
-
-### Top-Level namespace
-
-A top-level namespace is the logical object container in the code that represents all groups, subgroups and projects that belong to an organization.
-
-A top-level namespace is the root of nested collection namespaces and projects. The namespace and its related entities form a tree-like hierarchy: Namespaces are the nodes of the tree, projects are the leaves.
-
-Example:
-
-`https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/`:
-
-- `gitlab-org` is a `top-level namespace`; the root for all groups and projects of an organization
-- `gitlab` is a `project`; a project of the organization.
-
-Top-level namespaces may [be replaced by workspaces](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/368237#high-level-goals). This proposal only uses the term top-level namespaces as the workspace definition is ongoing.
-
-Discouraged synonyms: Root-level namespace
-
-![Term Top-level Namespace](images/term-top-level-namespace.png)
-
-#### Top-level namespace properties
-
-- Top-level namespaces belonging to an organization are located on the same Pod
-- Top-level namespaces can interact with other top-level namespaces that belong to the same organization
-
-### Users
-
-Users are available globally and not restricted to a single Pod. Users can be members of many different organizations with varying permissions. Inside organizations, users can create multiple top-level namespaces. User activity is not limited to a single organization but their contributions (for example TODOs) are only aggregated within an organization. This avoids the need for aggregating across pods.
-
-#### User properties
-
-- Users are shared globally across all Pods
-- Users can create multiple top-level namespaces
-- Users can be a member of multiple top-level namespaces
-- Users can be a member of multiple organizations
-- Users can administer organizations
-- User activity is aggregated in an organization
-- Every user has one personal namespace
-
-## Goals
-
-### Scalability
-
-The main goal of this new shared-infrastructure architecture is to provide additional scalability for our SaaS Platform. GitLab.com is largely monolithic and we have estimated (internal) that the current architecture has scalability limitations, even when database partitioning and decomposition are taken into account.
-
-Pods provide a horizontally scalable solution because additional Pods can be created based on demand. Pods can be provisioned and tuned as needed for optimal scalability.
-
-### Increased availability
-
-A major challenge for shared-infrastructure architectures is a lack of isolation between top-level namespaces. This can lead to noisy neighbor effects. A organization's behavior inside a top-level namespace can impact all other organizations. This is highly undesirable. Pods provide isolation at the pod level. A group of organizations is fully isolated from other organizations located on a different Pod. This minimizes noisy neighbor effects while still benefiting from the cost-efficiency of shared infrastructure.
-
-Additionally, Pods provide a way to implement disaster recovery capabilities. Entire Pods may be replicated to read-only standbys with automatic failover capabilities.
-
-### A consistent experience
-
-Organizations should have the same user experience on our SaaS platform as they do on a self-managed GitLab instance.
-
-### Regions
-
-GitLab.com is only hosted within the United States of America. Organizations located in other regions have voiced demand for local SaaS offerings. Pods provide a path towards [GitLab Regions](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/6037) because Pods may be deployed within different geographies. Depending on which of the organization's data is located outside a Pod, this may solve data residency and compliance problems.
-
-## Market segment
-
-Pods would provide a solution for organizations in the small to medium business (up to 100 users) and the mid-market segment (up to 2000 users).
-(See [segmentation definitions](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/sales/field-operations/gtm-resources/#segmentation).)
-Larger organizations may benefit substantially from [GitLab Dedicated](../../../subscriptions/gitlab_dedicated/index.md).
-
-At this moment, GitLab.com has "social-network"-like capabilities that may not fit well into a more isolated organization model. Removing those features, however, possesses some challenges:
-
-1. How will existing `gitlab-org` contributors contribute to the namespace??
-1. How do we move existing top-level namespaces into the new model (effectively breaking their social features)?
-
-We should evaluate if the SMB and mid market segment is interested in these features, or if not having them is acceptable in most cases.
-
-### Self-managed
-
-For reasons of consistency, it is expected that self-managed instances will
-adopt the pods architecture as well. To expand, self-managed instances can
-continue with just a single Pod while supporting the option of adding additional
-Pods. Organizations, and possible User decomposition will also be adopted for
-self-managed instances.
-
-## High-level architecture problems to solve
-
-A number of technical issues need to be resolved to implement Pods (in no particular order). This section will be expanded.
-
-1. How are users of an organization routed to the correct Pod?
-1. How do users authenticate?
-1. How are Pods rebalanced?
-1. How are Pods provisioned?
-1. How can Pods implement disaster recovery capabilities?
-
-## Cross-section impact
-
-Pods is a fundamental architecture change that impacts other sections and stages. This section summarizes and links to other groups that may be impacted and highlights potential conflicts that need to be resolved. The Pods group is not responsible for achieving the goals of other groups but we want to ensure that dependencies are resolved.
-
-### Summary
-
-Based on discussions with other groups the net impact of introducing Pods and a new entity called organizations is mostly neutral. It may slow down development in some areas. We did not discover major blockers for other teams.
-
-1. We need to resolve naming conflicts (proposal is TBD)
-1. Pods requires introducing Organizations. Organizations are a new entity **above** top-level groups. Because this is a new entity, it may impact the ability to consolidate settings for Group Workspace and influence their decision on [how to approach introducing a workspace](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/376285#approach-2-workspace-is-built-on-top-of-top-level-groups)
-1. Organizations may make it slightly easier for Fulfillment to realize their billing plans.
-
-### Impact on Group Manage Workspace
-
-We synced with the Workspace PM and Designer ([recording](https://youtu.be/b5Opn9cFWFk)) and discussed the similarities and differences between the Pods and Workspace proposal ([presentation](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1FsUi22Up15b_tu6p2m-yLML3hCZ3rgrZrmzJAxUsNmU/edit?usp=sharing)).
-
-#### Goals of Group Manage Workspace
-
-As defined in the [workspace documentation](../../../user/workspace/index.md):
-
-1. Create an entity to manage everything you do as a GitLab administrator, including:
- 1. Defining and applying settings to all of your groups, subgroups, and projects.
- 1. Aggregating data from all your groups, subgroups, and projects.
-1. Reach feature parity between SaaS and self-managed installations, with all Admin Area settings moving to groups (?). Hardware controls remain on the instance level.
-
-The [workspace roadmap outlines](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/368237#high-level-goals) the current goals in detail.
-
-#### Potential conflicts with Pods
-
-- Workspace and Organization are different terms for the same entity. Both define a new entity as the primary organizational object for groups and projects. This is mainly a semantic difference and **we need to decide on a name** following [user research to decide if workspace](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/ux-research/-/issues/2147). This is also driven by the fact that the Remote Development team is looking at better names and [are considering the term Workspace as well](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/Product/-/issues/4812).
-- We will only introduce one entity
-- Group workspace highlighted the need to further validate the key assumption that users only care about what happens within their organization.
-
-### Impact on Fulfillment
-
-We synced with Fulfillment ([recording](https://youtu.be/FkQF3uF7vTY)) to discuss how Pods would impact them. Fulfillment is supportive of an entity above top-level namespaces. Their perspective is outline in [!5639](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/customers-gitlab-com/-/merge_requests/5639/diffs).
-
-#### Goals of Fulfillment
-
-- Fulfillment has a longstanding plan to move billing from the top-level namespace to a level above. This would mean that a license applies for an organization and all its top-level namespaces.
-- Fulfillment uses Zuora for billing and would like to have a 1-to-1 relationship between an organization and their Zuora entity called BillingAccount. They want to move away from tying a license to a single user.
-- If a customer needs multiple organizations, the corresponding BillingAccounts can be rolled up into a consolidated billing account (similar to [AWS consolidated billing](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/consolidated-billing.html))
-- Ideally, a self-managed instance has a single Organization by default, which should be enough for most customers.
-- Fulfillment prefers only one additional entity.
-
-A rough representation of this is:
-
-![Pods and Fulfillment](images/pods-and-fulfillment.png)
-
-#### Potential conflicts with Pods
-
-- There are no known conflicts between Fulfillment's plans and Pods
-
-## Iteration plan
-
-We can't ship the entire Pods architecture in one go - it is too large. Instead, we are adopting an iteration plan that provides value along the way.
-
-1. Introduce organizations
-1. Migrate existing top-level namespaces to organizations
-1. Create new organizations on `pod_0`
-1. Migrate existing organizations from `pod_0` to `pod_n`
-1. Add additional Pod capabilities (DR, Regions)
-
-### Iteration 0: Introduce organizations
-
-In the first iteration, we introduce the concept of an organization
-as a way to group top-level namespaces together. Support for organizations **does not require any Pods work** but having them will make all subsequent iterations of Pods simpler. This is mainly because we can group top-level namespaces for a single organization onto a Pod. Within an organization all interactions work as normal but we eliminate any cross-organizational interactions except in well defined cases (e.g. forking).
-
-This means that we don't have a large number of cross-pod interactions.
-
-Introducing organizations allows GitLab to move towards a multi-tenant system that is similar to Discord's with a single user account but many different "servers" - our organizations - that allow users to switch context. This model harmonizes the UX across self-managed and our SaaS Platforms and is a good fit for Pods.
-
-Organizations solve the following problems:
-
-1. We can group top-level namespaces by organization. It is very similar to the initial concept of "instance groups". For example these two top-level namespaces would belong to the organization `GitLab`:
- 1. `https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/`
- 1. `https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/`
-1. We can isolate organizations from each other. Top-level namespaces of the same organization can interact within organizations but are not allowed to interact with other namespaces in other organizations. This is useful for customers because it means an organization provides clear boundaries - similar to a self-managed instance. This means we don't have to aggregate user dashboards across everything and can locally scope them to organizations.
-1. We don't need to define hierarchies inside an organization. It is a container that could be filled with whatever hierarchy / entity set makes sense (workspaces, top-level namespaces etc.)
-1. Self-managed instances would set a default organization.
-1. Organizations can control user-profiles in a central way. This could be achieved by having an organization specific user-profile. Such a profile makes it possible for the organization administrators to control the user role in a company, enforce user emails, or show a graphical indicator of a user being part of the organization. An example would be a "GitLab Employee stamp" on comments.
-
-![Move to Organizations](images/iteration0-organizations-introduction.png)
-
-#### Why would customers opt-in to Organizations?
-
-By introducing organizations and Pods we can improve the reliability, performance and availability of our SaaS Platforms.
-
-The first iteration of organizations would also have some benefits by providing more isolation. A simple example would be that `@` mentions could be scoped to an organization.
-
-Future iterations would create additional value but are beyond the scope of this blueprint.
-
-Organizations will likely be required in the future as well.
-
-#### Initial user experience
-
-1. We create a default `GitLab.com public` organization and assign all public top-level namespaces to it. This allows existing users to access all the data on GitLab.com, exactly as it does now.
-1. Any user wanting to opt-in to the benefits of organizations will need to set a single default organization. Any attempts for these users to load a global page like `/dashboard` will end up redirecting to `/-/organizations/<DEFAULT_ORGANIZATION>/dashboard`.
-1. New users that opted in to organizations will only ever see data that is related to a single organization. Upon login, data is shown for the default organization. It will be clear to the user how they can switch to a different organization. Users can still navigate to the `GitLab.com` organization but they won't see TODOs from their new organizations in any such views. Instead they'd need to navigate directly to `/organizations/my-company/-/dashboard`.
-
-### Migrating to Organizations
-
-Existing customers could also opt-in to migrate their existing top-level paid namespaces to become part of an organization. In most cases this will be a 1-to-1 mapping. But in some cases it may allow a customer to move multiple top-level namespaces into one organization (for example GitLab).
-
-Migrating to Organizations would be optional. We could even recruit a few beta testers early on to see if this works for them. GitLab itself could dogfood organizations and we'd surface a lot of issues restricting interactions with other namespaces.
-
-## Iteration 1 - Introduce Pod US 0
-
-### GitLab.com as Pod US0
-
-GitLab.com will be treated as the first pod `Pod US 0`. It will be unique and much larger compared to newly created pods. All existing top-level namespaces and organizations will remain on `Pod US 0` in the first iteration.
-
-### Users are globally available
-
-Users are globally available and the same for all pods. This means that user data needs to be handled separately, for example via decomposition, see [!95941](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/95941).
-
-### Pod groundwork
-
-In this iteration, we'll lay all the groundwork to support a second Pod for new organizations. This will be transparent to customers.
-
-## Iteration 2 - Introduce Pod US 1
-
-### Add new organizations to Pod US 1
-
-After we are ready to support a second Pod, newly created organizations are located by default on `Pod US 1`. The user experience for organizations is already well established.
-
-### Migrate existing organizations from Pod US 0 to Pod US 1
-
-We know that we'll have to move organizations from `Pod US 0` to other pods to reduce its size and ultimately retire the existing GitLab.com architecture.
-
-By introducing organizations early, we should be able to draw strong "boundaries" across organizations and support migrating existing organizations to a new Pod.
-
-This is likely going to be GitLab itself - if we can dogfood this, we are likely going to be successful with other organizations as well.
-
-## Iteration 3 - Introduce Regions
-
-We can now leverage the Pods architecture to introduce Regions.
-
-## Iteration 4 - Introduce cross-organizational interactions as needed
-
-Based on user research, we may want to change certain features to work across organizations. Examples include:
-
-- Specific features allow for cross-organization interactions, for example forking, search.
-

-# Pods: Admin Area
-
-In our Pods architecture proposal we plan to share all admin related tables in
-GitLab. This allows simpler management of all Pods in one interface and reduces
-the risk of settings diverging in different Pods. This introduces challenges
-with admin pages that allow you to manage data that will be spread across all
-Pods.
-
-## 1. Definition
-
-There are consequences for admin pages that contain data that spans "the whole
-instance" as the Admin pages may be served by any Pod or possibly just 1 pod.
-There are already many parts of the Admin interface that will have data that
-spans many pods. For example lists of all Groups, Projects, Topics, Jobs,
-Analytics, Applications and more. There are also administrative monitoring
-capabilities in the Admin page that will span many pods such as the "Background
-Jobs" and "Background Migrations" pages.
-
-## 2. Data flow
-
-## 3. Proposal
-
-We will need to decide how to handle these exceptions with a few possible
-options:
-
-1. Move all these pages out into a dedicated per-pod Admin section. Probably
- the URL will need to be routable to a single Pod like `/pods/<pod_id>/admin`,
- then we can display this data per Pod. These pages will be distinct from
- other Admin pages which control settings that are shared across all Pods. We
- will also need to consider how this impacts self-managed customers and
- whether, or not, this should be visible for single-pod instances of GitLab.
-1. Build some aggregation interfaces for this data so that it can be fetched
- from all Pods and presented in a single UI. This may be beneficial to an
- administrator that needs to see and filter all data at a glance, especially
- when they don't know which Pod the data is on. The downside, however, is
- that building this kind of aggregation is very tricky when all the Pods are
- designed to be totally independent, and it does also enforce more strict
- requirements on compatibility between Pods.

-# Pods: Backups
-
-Each pods will take its own backups, and consequently have its own isolated
-backup / restore procedure.
-
-## 1. Definition
-
-GitLab Backup takes a backup of the PostgreSQL database used by the application,
-and also Git repository data.
-
-## 2. Data flow
-
-Each pod has a number of application databases to back up (e.g. `main`, and `ci`).
-
-Additionally, there may be cluster-wide metadata tables (e.g. `users` table)
-which is directly accesible via PostgreSQL.
-
-## 3. Proposal
-
-### 3.1. Cluster-wide metadata
-
-It is currently unknown how cluster-wide metadata tables will be accessible. We
-may choose to have cluster-wide metadata tables backed up separately, or have
-each pod back up its copy of cluster-wide metdata tables.
-
-### 3.2 Consistency
-
-#### 3.2.1 Take backups independently
-
-As each pod will communicate with each other via API, and there will be no joins
-to the users table, it should be acceptable for each pod to take a backup
-independently of each other.
-
-#### 3.2.2 Enforce snapshots
-
-We can require that each pod take a snapshot for the PostgreSQL databases at
-around the same time to allow for a consistent-enough backup.
-
-## 4. Evaluation
-
-As the number of pods increases, it will likely not be feasible to take a
-snapshot at the same time for all pods. Hence taking backups independently is
-the better option.

-All CI jobs created as part of CI pipeline are run in a context of project
-it poses a challenge how to manage GitLab Runners.
-
-## 1. Definition
-
-There are 3 different types of runners:
-
-- instance-wide: runners that are registered globally with specific tags (selection criteria)
-- group runners: runners that execute jobs from a given top-level group or subprojects of that group
-- project runners: runners that execute jobs from projects or many projects: some runners might
- have projects assigned from projects in different top-level groups.
-
-This alongside with existing data structure where `ci_runners` is a table describing
-all types of runners poses a challenge how the `ci_runners` should be managed in a Pods environment.
-
-## 2. Data flow
-
-GitLab Runners use a set of globally scoped endpoints to:
-
-- registration of a new runner via registration token `https://gitlab.com/api/v4/runners`
- ([subject for removal](../runner_tokens/index.md)) (`registration token`)
-- requests jobs via an authenticated `https://gitlab.com/api/v4/jobs/request` endpoint (`runner token`)
-- upload job status via `https://gitlab.com/api/v4/jobs/:job_id` (`build token`)
-- upload trace via `https://gitlab.com/api/v4/jobs/:job_id/trace` (`build token`)
-- download and upload artifacts via `https://gitlab.com/api/v4/jobs/:job_id/artifacts` (`build token`)
-
-Currently three types of authentication tokens are used:
-
-- runner registration token ([subject for removal](../runner_tokens/index.md))
-- runner token representing an registered runner in a system with specific configuration (`tags`, `locked`, etc.)
-- build token representing an ephemeral token giving a limited access to updating a specific
- job, uploading artifacts, downloading dependent artifacts, downloading and uploading
- container registry images
-
-Each of those endpoints do receive an authentication token via header (`JOB-TOKEN` for `/trace`)
-or body parameter (`token` all other endpoints).
-
-Since the CI pipeline would be created in a context of a specific Pod it would be required
-that pick of a build would have to be processed by that particular Pod. This requires
-that build picking depending on a solution would have to be either:
-
-- routed to correct Pod for a first time
-- be made to be two phase: request build from global pool, claim build on a specific Pod using a Pod specific URL
-
-## 3. Proposal
-
-This section describes various proposals. Reader should consider that those
-proposals do describe solutions for different problems. Many or some aspects
-of those proposals might be the solution to the stated problem.
-
-### 3.1. Authentication tokens
-
-Even though the paths for CI Runners are not routable they can be made routable with
-those two possible solutions:
-
-- The `https://gitlab.com/api/v4/jobs/request` uses a long polling mechanism with
- a ticketing mechanism (based on `X-GitLab-Last-Update` header). Runner when first
- starts sends a request to GitLab to which GitLab responds with either a build to pick
- by runner. This value is completely controlled by GitLab. This allows GitLab
- to use JWT or any other means to encode `pod` identifier that could be easily
- decodable by Router.
-- The majority of communication (in terms of volume) is using `build token` making it
- the easiest target to change since GitLab is sole owner of the token that Runner later
- uses for specific job. There were prior discussions about not storing `build token`
- but rather using `JWT` token with defined scopes. Such token could encode the `pod`
- to which router could easily route all requests.
-
-### 3.2. Request body
-
-- The most of used endpoints pass authentication token in request body. It might be desired
- to use HTTP Headers as an easier way to access this information by Router without
- a need to proxy requests.
-
-### 3.3. Instance-wide are Pod local
-
-We can pick a design where all runners are always registered and local to a given Pod:
-
-- Each Pod has it's own set of instance-wide runners that are updated at it's own pace
-- The project runners can only be linked to projects from the same organization
- creating strong isolation.
-- In this model the `ci_runners` table is local to the Pod.
-- In this model we would require the above endpoints to be scoped to a Pod in some way
- or made routable. It might be via prefixing them, adding additional Pod parameter,
- or providing much more robust way to decode runner token and match it to Pod.
-- If routable token is used, we could move away from cryptographic random stored in
- database to rather prefer to use JWT tokens that would encode
-- The Admin Area showing registered Runners would have to be scoped to a Pod
-
-This model might be desired since it provides strong isolation guarantees.
-This model does significantly increase maintenance overhead since each Pod is managed
-separately.
-
-This model may require adjustments to runner tags feature so that projects have consistent runner experience across pods.
-
-### 3.4. Instance-wide are cluster-wide
-
-Contrary to proposal where all runners are Pod local, we can consider that runners
-are global, or just instance-wide runners are global.
-
-However, this requires significant overhaul of system and to change the following aspects:
-
-- `ci_runners` table would likely have to be split decomposed into `ci_instance_runners`, ...
-- all interfaces would have to be adopted to use correct table
-- build queuing would have to be reworked to be two phase where each Pod would know of all pending
- and running builds, but the actual claim of a build would happen against a Pod containing data
-- likely `ci_pending_builds` and `ci_running_builds` would have to be made `cluster-wide` tables
- increasing likelihood of creating hotspots in a system related to CI queueing
-
-This model makes it complex to implement from engineering side. Does make some data being shared
-between Pods. Creates hotspots / scalability issues in a system (ex. during abuse) that
-might impact experience of organizations on other Pods.
-
-### 3.5. GitLab CI Daemon
-
-Another potential solution to explore is to have a dedicated service responsible for builds queueing
-owning it's database and working in a model of either sharded or podded service. There were prior
-discussions about [CI/CD Daemon](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/19435).
-
-If the service would be sharded:
-
-- depending on a model if runners are cluster-wide or pod-local this service would have to fetch
- data from all Pods
-- if the sharded service would be used we could adapt a model of either sharing database containing
- `ci_pending_builds/ci_running_builds` with the service
-- if the sharded service would be used we could consider a push model where each Pod pushes to CI/CD Daemon
- builds that should be picked by Runner
-- the sharded service would be aware which Pod is responsible for processing the given build and could
- route processing requests to designated Pod
-
-If the service would be podded:
-
-- all expectations of routable endpoints are still valid
-
-In general usage of CI Daemon does not help significantly with the stated problem. However, this offers
-a few upsides related to more efficient processing and decoupling model: push model and it opens a way
-to offer stateful communication with GitLab Runners (ex. gRPC or Websockets).
-
-## 4. Evaluation
-
-Considering all solutions it appears that solution giving the most promise is:
-
-- use "instance-wide are Pod local"
-- refine endpoints to have routable identities (either via specific paths, or better tokens)
-
-Other potential upsides is to get rid of `ci_builds.token` and rather use a `JWT token`
-that can much better and easier encode wider set of scopes allowed by CI runner.

-# Pods: Container Registry
-
-GitLab Container Registry is a feature allowing to store Docker Container Images
-in GitLab. You can read about GitLab integration [here](../../../user/packages/container_registry/index.md).
-
-## 1. Definition
-
-GitLab Container Registry is a complex service requiring usage of PostgreSQL, Redis
-and Object Storage dependencies. Right now there's undergoing work to introduce
-[Container Registry Metadata](../container_registry_metadata_database/index.md)
-to optimize data storage and image retention policies of Container Registry.
-
-GitLab Container Registry is serving as a container for stored data,
-but on it's own does not authenticate `docker login`. The `docker login`
-is executed with user credentials (can be `personal access token`)
-or CI build credentials (ephemeral `ci_builds.token`).
-
-Container Registry uses data deduplication. It means that the same blob
-(image layer) that is shared between many projects is stored only once.
-Each layer is hashed by `sha256`.
-
-The `docker login` does request JWT time-limited authentication token that
-is signed by GitLab, but validated by Container Registry service. The JWT
-token does store all authorized scopes (`container repository images`)
-and operation types (`push` or `pull`). A single JWT authentication token
-can be have many authorized scopes. This allows container registry and client
-to mount existing blobs from another scopes. GitLab responds only with
-authorized scopes. Then it is up to GitLab Container Registry to validate
-if the given operation can be performed.
-
-The GitLab.com pages are always scoped to project. Each project can have many
-container registry images attached.
-
-Currently in case of GitLab.com the actual registry service is served
-via `https://registry.gitlab.com`.
-
-The main identifiable problems are:
-
-- the authentication request (`https://gitlab.com/jwt/auth`) that is processed by GitLab.com
-- the `https://registry.gitlab.com` that is run by external service and uses it's own data store
-- the data deduplication, the Pods architecture with registry run in a Pod would reduce
- efficiency of data storage
-
-## 2. Data flow
-
-### 2.1. Authorization request that is send by `docker login`
-
-```shell
-curl \
- --user "username:password" \
- "https://gitlab/jwt/auth?client_id=docker&offline_token=true&service=container_registry&scope=repository:gitlab-org/gitlab-build-images:push,pull"
-```
-
-Result is encoded and signed JWT token. Second base64 encoded string (split by `.`) contains JSON with authorized scopes.
-
-```json
-{"auth_type":"none","access":[{"type":"repository","name":"gitlab-org/gitlab-build-images","actions":["pull"]}],"jti":"61ca2459-091c-4496-a3cf-01bac51d4dc8","aud":"container_registry","iss":"omnibus-gitlab-issuer","iat":1669309469,"nbf":166}
-```
-
-### 2.2. Docker client fetching tags
-
-```shell
-curl \
- -H "Accept: application/vnd.docker.distribution.manifest.v2+json" \
- -H "Authorization: Bearer token" \
- https://registry.gitlab.com/v2/gitlab-org/gitlab-build-images/tags/list
-
-curl \
- -H "Accept: application/vnd.docker.distribution.manifest.v2+json" \
- -H "Authorization: Bearer token" \
- https://registry.gitlab.com/v2/gitlab-org/gitlab-build-images/manifests/danger-ruby-2.6.6
-```
-
-### 2.3. Docker client fetching blobs and manifests
-
-```shell
-curl \
- -H "Accept: application/vnd.docker.distribution.manifest.v2+json" \
- -H "Authorization: Bearer token" \
- https://registry.gitlab.com/v2/gitlab-org/gitlab-build-images/blobs/sha256:a3f2e1afa377d20897e08a85cae089393daa0ec019feab3851d592248674b416
-```
-
-## 3. Proposal
-
-### 3.1. Shard Container Registry separately to Pods architecture
-
-Due to it's architecture it extensive architecture and in general highly scalable
-horizontal architecture it should be evaluated if the GitLab Container Registry
-should be run not in Pod, but in a Cluster and be scaled independently.
-
-This might be easier, but would definitely not offer the same amount of data isolation.
-
-### 3.2. Run Container Registry within a Pod
-
-It appears that except `/jwt/auth` which would likely have to be processed by Router
-(to decode `scope`) the container registry could be run as a local service of a Pod.
-
-The actual data at least in case of GitLab.com is not forwarded via registry,
-but rather served directly from Object Storage / CDN.
-
-Its design encodes container repository image in a URL that is easily routable.
-It appears that we could re-use the same stateless Router service in front of Container Registry
-to serve manifests and blobs redirect.
-
-The only downside is increased complexity of managing standalone registry for each Pod,
-but this might be desired approach.
-
-## 4. Evaluation
-
-There do not seem any theoretical problems with running GitLab Container Registry in a Pod.
-Service seems that can be easily made routable to work well.
-
-The practical complexities are around managing complex service from infrastructure side.

-# Pods: Contributions: Forks
-
-[Forking workflow](../../../user/project/repository/forking_workflow.md) allows users
-to copy existing project sources into their own namespace of choice (personal or group).
-
-## 1. Definition
-
-[Forking workflow](../../../user/project/repository/forking_workflow.md) is common workflow
-with various usage patterns:
-
-- allows users to contribute back to upstream project
-- persist repositories into their personal namespace
-- copy to make changes and release as modified project
-
-Forks allow users not having write access to parent project to make changes. The forking workflow
-is especially important for the Open Source community which is able to contribute back
-to public projects. However, it is equally important in some companies which prefer the strong split
-of responsibilites and tighter access control. The access to project is restricted
-to designated list of developers.
-
-Forks enable:
-
-- tigther control of who can modify the upstream project
-- split of the responsibilites: parent project might use CI configuration connecting to production systems
-- run CI pipelines in context of fork in much more restrictive environment
-- consider all forks to be unveted which reduces risks of leaking secrets, or any other information
- tied with the project
-
-The forking model is problematic in Pods architecture for following reasons:
-
-- Forks are clones of existing repositories, forks could be created across different organizations, Pods and Gitaly shards.
-- User can create merge request and contribute back to upstream project, this upstream project might in a different organization and Pod.
-- The merge request CI pipeline is to executed in a context of source project, but presented in a context of target project.
-
-## 2. Data flow
-
-## 3. Proposals
-
-### 3.1. Intra-Cluster forks
-
-This proposal makes us to implement forks as a intra-ClusterPod forks where communication is done via API
-between all trusted Pods of a cluster:
-
-- Forks when created, they are created always in context of user choice of group.
-- Forks are isolated from Organization.
-- Organization or group owner could disable forking across organizations or forking in general.
-- When a Merge Request is created it is created in context of target project, referencing
- external project on another Pod.
-- To target project the merge reference is transfered that is used for presenting information
- in context of target project.
-- CI pipeline is fetched in context of source project as it-is today, the result is fetched into
- Merge Request of target project.
-- The Pod holding target project internally uses GraphQL to fetch status of source project
- and include in context of the information for merge request.
-
-Upsides:
-
-- All existing forks continue to work as-is, as they are treated as intra-Cluster forks.
-
-Downsides:
-
-- The purpose of Organizations is to provide strong isolation between organizations
- allowing to fork across does break security boundaries.
-- However, this is no different to ability of users today to clone repository to local computer
- and push it to any repository of choice.
-- Access control of source project can be lower than those of target project. System today
- requires that in order to contribute back the access level needs to be the same for fork and upstream.
-
-### 3.2. Forks are created in a personal namespace of the current organization
-
-Instead of creating projects across organizations, the forks are created in a user personal namespace
-tied with the organization. Example:
-
-- Each user that is part of organization receives their personal namespace. For example for `GitLab Inc.`
- it could be `gitlab.com/organization/gitlab-inc/@ayufan`.
-- The user has to fork into it's own personal namespace of the organization.
-- The user has that many personal namespaces as many organizations it belongs to.
-- The personal namespace behaves similar to currently offered personal namespace.
-- The user can manage and create projects within a personal namespace.
-- The organization can prevent or disable usage of personal namespaces disallowing forks.
-- All current forks are migrated into personal namespace of user in Organization.
-- All forks are part of to the organization.
-- The forks are not federated features.
-- The personal namespace and forked project do not share configuration with parent project.
-
-### 3.3. Forks are created as internal projects under current project
-
-Instead of creating projects across organizations, the forks are attachments to existing projects.
-Each user forking a project receives their unique project. Example:
-
-- For project: `gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab`, forks would be created in `gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/@kamil-gitlab`.
-- Forks are created in a context of current organization, they do not cross organization boundaries
- and are managed by the organization.
-- Tied to the user (or any other user-provided name of the fork).
-- The forks are not federated features.
-
-Downsides:
-
-- Does not answer how to handle and migrate all exisiting forks.
-- Might share current group / project settings - breaking some security boundaries.

-# Pods: Data migration
-
-It is essential for Pods architecture to provide a way to migrate data out of big Pods
-into smaller ones. This describes various approaches to provide this type of split.
-
-We also need to handle for cases where data is already violating the expected
-isolation constraints of Pods (ie. references cannot span multiple
-organizations). We know that existing features like linked issues allowed users
-to link issues across any projects regardless of their hierarchy. There are many
-similar features. All of this data will need to be migrated in some way before
-it can be split across different pods. This may mean some data needs to be
-deleted, or the feature changed and modelled slightly differently before we can
-properly split or migrate the organizations between pods.
-
-Having schema deviations across different Pods, which is a necessary
-consequence of different databases, will also impact our ability to migrate
-data between pods. Different schemas impact our ability to reliably replicate
-data across pods and especially impact our ability to validate that the data is
-correctly replicated. It might force us to only be able to move data between
-pods when the schemas are all in sync (slowing down deployments and the
-rebalancing process) or possibly only migrate from newer to older schemas which
-would be complex.
-
-## 1. Definition
-
-## 2. Data flow
-
-## 3. Proposal
-
-### 3.1. Split large Pods
-
-A single Pod can only be divided into many Pods. This is based on principle
-that it is easier to create exact clone of an existing Pod in many replicas
-out of which some will be made authoritative once migrated. Keeping those
-replicas up-to date with Pod 0 is also much easier due to pre-existing
-replication solutions that can replicate the whole systems: Geo, PostgreSQL
-physical replication, etc.
-
-1. All data of an organization needs to not be divided across many Pods.
-1. Split should be doable online.
-1. New Pods cannot contain pre-existing data.
-1. N Pods contain exact replica of Pod 0.
-1. The data of Pod 0 is live replicated to as many Pods it needs to be split.
-1. Once consensus is achieved between Pod 0 and N-Pods the organizations to be migrated away
- are marked as read-only cluster-wide.
-1. The `routes` is updated on for all organizations to be split to indicate an authoritative
- Pod holding the most recent data, like `gitlab-org` on `pod-100`.
-1. The data for `gitlab-org` on Pod 0, and on other non-authoritative N-Pods are dormant
- and will be removed in the future.
-1. All accesses to `gitlab-org` on a given Pod are validated about `pod_id` of `routes`
- to ensure that given Pod is authoritative to handle the data.
-
-#### More challenges of this proposal
-
-1. There is no streaming replication capability for Elasticsearch, but you could
- snapshot the whole Elasticsearch index and recreate, but this takes hours.
- It could be handled by pausing Elasticsearch indexing on the initial pod during
- the migration as indexing downtime is not a big issue, but this still needs
- to be coordinated with the migration process
-1. Syncing Redis, Gitaly, CI Postgres, Main Postgres, registry Postgres, other
- new data stores snapshots in an online system would likely lead to gaps
- without a long downtime. You need to choose a sync point and at the sync
- point you need to stop writes to perform the migration. The more data stores
- there are to migrate at the same time the longer the write downtime for the
- failover. We would also need to find a reliable place in the application to
- actually block updates to all these systems with a high degree of
- confidence. In the past we've only been confident by shutting down all rails
- services because any rails process could write directly to any of these at
- any time due to async workloads or other surprising code paths.
-1. How to efficiently delete all the orphaned data. Locating all `ci_builds`
- associated with half the organizations would be very expensive if we have to
- do joins. We haven't yet determined if we'd want to store an `organization_id`
- column on every table, but this is the kind of thing it would be helpful for.
-
-### 3.2. Migrate organization from an existing Pod
-
-This is different to split, as we intend to perform logical and selective replication
-of data belonging to a single organization.
-
-Today this type of selective replication is only implemented by Gitaly where we can migrate
-Git repository from a single Gitaly node to another with minimal downtime.
-
-In this model we would require identifying all resources belonging to a given organization:
-database rows, object storage files, Git repositories, etc. and selectively copy them over
-to another (likely) existing Pod importing data into it. Ideally ensuring that we can
-perform logical replication live of all changed data, but change similarly to split
-which Pod is authoritative for this organization.
-
-1. It is hard to identify all resources belonging to organization.
-1. It requires either downtime for organization or a robust system to identify
- live changes made.
-1. It likely will require a full database structure analysis (more robust than project import/export)
- to perform selective PostgreSQL logical replication.
-
-#### More challenges of this proposal
-
-1. Logical replication is still not performant enough to keep up with our
- scale. Even if we could use logical replication we still don't have an
- efficient way to filter data related to a single organization without
- joining all the way to the `organizations` table which will slow down
- logical replication dramatically.

-# Pods: Database Sequences
-
-GitLab today ensures that every database row create has unique ID, allowing
-to access Merge Request, CI Job or Project by a known global ID.
-
-Pods will use many distinct and not connected databases, each of them having
-a separate IDs for most of entities.
-
-It might be desirable to retain globally unique IDs for all database rows
-to allow migrating resources between Pods in the future.
-
-## 1. Definition
-
-## 2. Data flow
-
-## 3. Proposal
-
-This are some preliminary ideas how we can retain unique IDs across the system.
-
-### 3.1. UUID
-
-Instead of using incremental sequences use UUID (128 bit) that is stored in database.
-
-- This might break existing IDs and requires adding UUID column for all existing tables.
-- This makes all indexes larger as it requires storing 128 bit instead of 32/64 bit in index.
-
-### 3.2. Use Pod index encoded in ID
-
-Since significant number of tables already use 64 bit ID numbers we could use MSB to encode
-Pod ID effectively enabling
-
-- This might limit amount of Pods that can be enabled in system, as we might decide to only
- allocate 1024 possible Pod numbers.
-- This might make IDs to be migratable between Pods, since even if entity from Pod 1 is migrated to Pod 100
- this ID would still be unique.
-- If resources are migrated the ID itself will not be enough to decode Pod number and we would need
- lookup table.
-- This requires updating all IDs to 32 bits.
-
-### 3.3. Allocate sequence ranges from central place
-
-Each Pod might receive its own range of the sequences as they are consumed from a centrally managed place.
-Once Pod consumes all IDs assigned for a given table it would be replenished and a next range would be allocated.
-Ranges would be tracked to provide a faster lookup table if a random access pattern is required.
-
-- This might make IDs to be migratable between Pods, since even if entity from Pod 1 is migrated to Pod 100
- this ID would still be unique.
-- If resources are migrated the ID itself will not be enough to decode Pod number and we would need
- much more robust lookup table as we could be breaking previously assigned sequence ranges.
-- This does not require updating all IDs to 64 bits.
-- This adds some performance penalty to all `INSERT` statements in Postgres or at least from Rails as we need to check for the sequence number and potentially wait for our range to be refreshed from the ID server
-- The available range will need to be stored and incremented in a centralized place so that concurrent transactions cannot possibly get the same value.
-
-### 3.4. Define only some tables to require unique IDs
-
-Maybe this is acceptable only for some tables to have a globally unique IDs. It could be projects, groups
-and other top-level entities. All other tables like `merge_requests` would only offer Pod-local ID,
-but when referenced outside it would rather use IID (an ID that is monotonic in context of a given resource, like project).
-
-- This makes the ID 10000 for `merge_requests` be present on all Pods, which might be sometimes confusing
- as for uniqueness of the resource.
-- This might make random access by ID (if ever needed) be impossible without using composite key, like: `project_id+merge_request_id`.
-- This would require us to implement a transformation/generation of new ID if we need to migrate records to another pod. This can lead to very difficult migration processes when these IDs are also used as foreign keys for other records being migrated.
-- If IDs need to change when moving between pods this means that any links to records by ID would no longer work even if those links included the `project_id`.
-- If we plan to allow these ids to not be unique and change the unique constraint to be based on a composite key then we'd need to update all foreign key references to be based on the composite key

-# Pods: Git Access
-
-This document describes impact of Pods architecture on all Git access (over HTTPS and SSH)
-patterns providing explanation of how potentially those features should be changed
-to work well with Pods.
-
-## 1. Definition
-
-Git access is done through out the application. It can be an operation performed by the system
-(read Git repository) or by user (create a new file via Web IDE, `git clone` or `git push` via command line).
-
-The Pods architecture defines that all Git repositories will be local to the Pod,
-so no repository could be shared with another Pod.
-
-The Pods architecture will require that any Git operation done can only be handled by a Pod holding
-the data. It means that any operation either via Web interface, API, or GraphQL needs to be routed
-to the correct Pod. It means that any `git clone` or `git push` operation can only be performed
-in a context of a Pod.
-
-## 2. Data flow
-
-The are various operations performed today by the GitLab on a Git repository. This describes
-the data flow how they behave today to better represent the impact.
-
-It appears that Git access does require changes only to a few endpoints that are scoped to project.
-There appear to be different types of repositories:
-
-- Project: assigned to Group
-- Wiki: additional repository assigned to Project
-- Design: similar to Wiki, additional repository assigned to Project
-- Snippet: creates a virtual project to hold repository, likely tied to the User

-```
-
-## 3. Proposal
-
-The Pods stateless router proposal requires that any ambiguous path (that is not routable)
-will be made to be routable. It means that at least the following paths will have to be updated
-do introduce a routable entity (project, group, or organization).
-
-Change:
-
-- `/api/v4/internal/allowed` => `/api/v4/internal/projects/<gl_repository>/allowed`
-- `/api/v4/internal/pre_receive` => `/api/v4/internal/projects/<gl_repository>/pre_receive`
-- `/api/v4/internal/post_receive` => `/api/v4/internal/projects/<gl_repository>/post_receive`
-- `/api/v4/internal/lfs_authenticate` => `/api/v4/internal/projects/<gl_repository>/lfs_authenticate`
-
-Where:
-
-- `gl_repository` can be `project-1111` (`Gitlab::GlRepository`)
-- `gl_repository` in some cases might be a full path to repository as executed by GitLab Shell (`/gitlab-org/gitlab.git`)
-
-## 4. Evaluation
-
-Supporting Git repositories if a Pod can access only its own repositories does not appear to be complex.
-
-The one major complication is supporting snippets, but this likely falls in the same category as for the approach
-to support user's personal namespaces.
-
-## 4.1. Pros
-
-1. The API used for supporting HTTPS/SSH and Hooks are well defined and can easily be made routable.
-
-## 4.2. Cons
-
-1. The sharing of repositories objects is limited to the given Pod and Gitaly node.
-1. The across-Pods forks are likely impossible to be supported (discover: how this work today across different Gitaly node).

-# Pods: GraphQL
-
-GitLab extensively uses GraphQL to perform efficient data query operations.
-GraphQL due to it's nature is not directly routable. The way how GitLab uses
-it calls the `/api/graphql` endpoint, and only query or mutation of body request
-might define where the data can be accessed.
-
-## 1. Definition
-
-## 2. Data flow
-
-## 3. Proposal
-
-There are at least two main ways to implement GraphQL in Pods architecture.
-
-### 3.1. GraphQL routable by endpoint
-
-Change `/api/graphql` to `/api/organization/<organization>/graphql`.
-
-- This breaks all existing usages of `/api/graphql` endpoint
- since the API URI is changed.
-
-### 3.2. GraphQL routable by body
-
-As part of router parse GraphQL body to find a routable entity, like `project`.
-
-- This still makes the GraphQL query be executed only in context of a given Pod
- and not allowing the data to be merged.
-
-```json
-# Good example
-{
- project(fullPath:"gitlab-org/gitlab") {
- id
- description
- }
-}
-
-# Bad example, since Merge Request is not routable
-{
- mergeRequest(id: 1111) {
- iid
- description
- }
-}
-```
-
-### 3.3. Merging GraphQL Proxy
-
-Implement as part of router GraphQL Proxy which can parse body
-and merge results from many Pods.
-
-- This might make pagination hard to achieve, or we might assume that
- we execute many queries of which results are merged across all Pods.
-
-```json
-{
- project(fullPath:"gitlab-org/gitlab"){
- id, description
- }
- group(fullPath:"gitlab-com") {
- id, description
- }
-}
-```

-# Pods: Organizations
-
-One of the major designs of Pods architecture is strong isolation between Groups.
-Organizations as described by this blueprint provides a way to have plausible UX
-for joining together many Groups that are isolated from the rest of systems.
-
-## 1. Definition
-
-Pods do require that all groups and projects of a single organization can
-only be stored on a single Pod since a Pod can only access data that it holds locally
-and has very limited capabilities to read information from other Pods.
-
-Pods with Organizations do require strong isolation between organizations.
-
-It will have significant implications on various user-facing features,
-like Todos, dropdowns allowing to select projects, references to other issues
-or projects, or any other social functions present at GitLab. Today those functions
-were able to reference anything in the whole system. With the introduction of
-organizations such will be forbidden.
-
-This problem definition aims to answer effort and implications required to add
-strong isolation between organizations to the system. Including features affected
-and their data processing flow. The purpose is to ensure that our solution when
-implemented consistently avoids data leakage between organizations residing on
-a single Pod.

-# Pods: Router Endpoints Classification
-
-Classification of all endpoints is essential to properly route request
-hitting load balancer of a GitLab installation to a Pod that can serve it.
-
-Each Pod should be able to decode each request and classify for which Pod
-it belongs to.
-
-GitLab currently implements hundreds of endpoints. This document tries
-to describe various techniques that can be implemented to allow the Rails
-to provide this information efficiently.

-# Pods: Schema changes
-
-When we introduce multiple Pods that own their own databases this will
-complicate the process of making schema changes to Postgres and Elasticsearch.
-Today we already need to be careful to make changes comply with our zero
-downtime deployments. For example,
-[when removing a column we need to make changes over 3 separate deployments](../../../development/database/avoiding_downtime_in_migrations.md#dropping-columns).
-We have tooling like `post_migrate` that helps with these kinds of changes to
-reduce the number of merge requests needed, but these will be complicated when
-we are dealing with deploying multiple rails applications that will be at
-different versions at any one time. This problem will be particularly tricky to
-solve for shared databases like our plan to share the `users` related tables
-among all Pods.
-
-A key benefit of Pods may be that it allows us to run different
-customers on different versions of GitLab. We may choose to update our own pod
-before all our customers giving us even more flexibility than our current
-canary architecture. But doing this means that schema changes need to have even
-more versions of backward compatibility support which could slow down
-development as we need extra steps to make schema changes.

-# Pods: Secrets
-
-Where possible, each pod should have its own distinct set of secrets.
-However, there will be some secrets that will be required to be the same for all
-pods in the cluster
-
-## 1. Definition
-
-GitLab has a lot of
-[secrets](https://docs.gitlab.com/charts/installation/secrets.html) that needs
-to be configured.
-
-Some secrets are for inter-component communication, e.g. `GitLab Shell secret`,
-and used only within a pod.
-
-Some secrets are used for features, e.g. `ci_jwt_signing_key`.
-
-## 2. Data flow
-
-## 3. Proposal
-
-1. Secrets used for features will need to be consistent across all pods, so that the UX is consistent.
- 1. This is especially true for the `db_key_base` secret which is used for
- encrypting data at rest in the database - so that projects that are
- transferred to another pod will continue to work. We do not want to have
- to re-encrypt such rows when we move projects/groups between pods.
-1. Secrets which are used for intra-pod communication only should be uniquely generated
- per-pod.

-# Proposal: Stateless Router
-
-We will decompose `gitlab_users`, `gitlab_routes` and `gitlab_admin` related
-tables so that they can be shared between all pods and allow any pod to
-authenticate a user and route requests to the correct pod. Pods may receive
-requests for the resources they don't own, but they know how to redirect back
-to the correct pod.
-
-The router is stateless and does not read from the `routes` database which
-means that all interactions with the database still happen from the Rails
-monolith. This architecture also supports regions by allowing for low traffic
-databases to be replicated across regions.
-
-Users are not directly exposed to the concept of Pods but instead they see
-different data dependent on their chosen "organization".
-[Organizations](index.md#organizations) will be a new model introduced to enforce isolation in the
-application and allow us to decide which request route to which pod, since an
-organization can only be on a single pod.
-
-## Differences
-
-The main difference between this proposal and the one [with learning routes](proposal-stateless-router-with-routes-learning.md)
-is that this proposal always sends requests to any of the Pods. If the requests cannot be processed,
-the requests will be bounced back with relevant headers. This requires that request to be buffered.
-It allows that request decoding can be either via URI or Body of request by Rails.
-This means that each request might be sent more than once and be processed more than once as result.
-
-The [with learning routes proposal](proposal-stateless-router-with-routes-learning.md) requires that
-routable information is always encoded in URI, and the router sends a pre-flight request.
-
-## Summary in diagrams
-
-This shows how a user request routes via DNS to the nearest router and the router chooses a pod to send the request to.

-## Summary of changes
-
-1. Tables related to User data (including profile settings, authentication credentials, personal access tokens) are decomposed into a `gitlab_users` schema
-1. The `routes` table is decomposed into `gitlab_routes` schema
-1. The `application_settings` (and probably a few other instance level tables) are decomposed into `gitlab_admin` schema
-1. A new column `routes.pod_id` is added to `routes` table
-1. A new Router service exists to choose which pod to route a request to.
-1. A new concept will be introduced in GitLab called an organization and a user can select a "default organization" and this will be a user level setting. The default organization is used to redirect users away from ambiguous routes like `/dashboard` to organization scoped routes like `/organizations/my-organization/-/dashboard`. Legacy users will have a special default organization that allows them to keep using global resources on `Pod US0`. All existing namespaces will initially move to this public organization.
-1. If a pod receives a request for a `routes.pod_id` that it does not own it returns a `302` with `X-Gitlab-Pod-Redirect` header so that the router can send the request to the correct pod. The correct pod can also set a header `X-Gitlab-Pod-Cache` which contains information about how this request should be cached to remember the pod. For example if the request was `/gitlab-org/gitlab` then the header would encode `/gitlab-org/* => Pod US0` (for example, any requests starting with `/gitlab-org/` can always be routed to `Pod US0`
-1. When the pod does not know (from the cache) which pod to send a request to it just picks a random pod within it's region
-1. Writes to `gitlab_users` and `gitlab_routes` are sent to a primary PostgreSQL server in our `US` region but reads can come from replicas in the same region. This will add latency for these writes but we expect they are infrequent relative to the rest of GitLab.
-
-## Detailed explanation of default organization in the first iteration
-
-All users will get a new column `users.default_organization` which they can
-control in user settings. We will introduce a concept of the
-`GitLab.com Public` organization. This will be set as the default organization for all existing
-users. This organization will allow the user to see data from all namespaces in
-`Pod US0` (for example, our original GitLab.com instance). This behavior can be invisible to
-existing users such that they don't even get told when they are viewing a
-global page like `/dashboard` that it's even scoped to an organization.
-
-Any new users with a default organization other than `GitLab.com Public` will have
-a distinct user experience and will be fully aware that every page they load is
-only ever scoped to a single organization. These users can never
-load any global pages like `/dashboard` and will end up being redirected to
-`/organizations/<DEFAULT_ORGANIZATION>/-/dashboard`. This may also be the case
-for legacy APIs and such users may only ever be able to use APIs scoped to a
-organization.
-
-## Detailed explanation of Admin Area settings
-
-We believe that maintaining and synchronizing Admin Area settings will be
-frustrating and painful so to avoid this we will decompose and share all Admin Area
-settings in the `gitlab_admin` schema. This should be safe (similar to other
-shared schemas) because these receive very little write traffic.
-
-In cases where different pods need different settings (for example, the
-Elasticsearch URL), we will either decide to use a templated
-format in the relevant `application_settings` row which allows it to be dynamic
-per pod. Alternatively if that proves difficult we'll introduce a new table
-called `per_pod_application_settings` and this will have 1 row per pod to allow
-setting different settings per pod. It will still be part of the `gitlab_admin`
-schema and shared which will allow us to centrally manage it and simplify
-keeping settings in sync for all pods.
-
-## Pros
-
-1. Router is stateless and can live in many regions. We use Anycast DNS to resolve to nearest region for the user.
-1. Pods can receive requests for namespaces in the wrong pod and the user
- still gets the right response as well as caching at the router that
- ensures the next request is sent to the correct pod so the next request
- will go to the correct pod
-1. The majority of the code still lives in `gitlab` rails codebase. The Router doesn't actually need to understand how GitLab URLs are composed.
-1. Since the responsibility to read and write `gitlab_users`,
- `gitlab_routes` and `gitlab_admin` still lives in Rails it means minimal
- changes will be needed to the Rails application compared to extracting
- services that need to isolate the domain models and build new interfaces.
-1. Compared to a separate routing service this allows the Rails application
- to encode more complex rules around how to map URLs to the correct pod
- and may work for some existing API endpoints.
-1. All the new infrastructure (just a router) is optional and a single-pod
- self-managed installation does not even need to run the Router and there are
- no other new services.
-
-## Cons
-
-1. `gitlab_users`, `gitlab_routes` and `gitlab_admin` databases may need to be
- replicated across regions and writes need to go across regions. We need to
- do an analysis on write TPS for the relevant tables to determine if this is
- feasible.
-1. Sharing access to the database from many different Pods means that they are
- all coupled at the Postgres schema level and this means changes to the
- database schema need to be done carefully in sync with the deployment of all
- Pods. This limits us to ensure that Pods are kept in closely similar
- versions compared to an architecture with shared services that have an API
- we control.
-1. Although most data is stored in the right region there can be requests
- proxied from another region which may be an issue for certain types
- of compliance.
-1. Data in `gitlab_users` and `gitlab_routes` databases must be replicated in
- all regions which may be an issue for certain types of compliance.
-1. The router cache may need to be very large if we get a wide variety of URLs
- (for example, long tail). In such a case we may need to implement a 2nd level of
- caching in user cookies so their frequently accessed pages always go to the
- right pod the first time.
-1. Having shared database access for `gitlab_users` and `gitlab_routes`
- from multiple pods is an unusual architecture decision compared to
- extracting services that are called from multiple pods.
-1. It is very likely we won't be able to find cacheable elements of a
- GraphQL URL and often existing GraphQL endpoints are heavily dependent on
- ids that won't be in the `routes` table so pods won't necessarily know
- what pod has the data. As such we'll probably have to update our GraphQL
- calls to include an organization context in the path like
- `/api/organizations/<organization>/graphql`.
-1. This architecture implies that implemented endpoints can only access data
- that are readily accessible on a given Pod, but are unlikely
- to aggregate information from many Pods.
-1. All unknown routes are sent to the latest deployment which we assume to be `Pod US0`.
- This is required as newly added endpoints will be only decodable by latest pod.
- This Pod could later redirect to correct one that can serve the given request.
- Since request processing might be heavy some Pods might receive significant amount
- of traffic due to that.
-
-## Example database configuration
-
-Handling shared `gitlab_users`, `gitlab_routes` and `gitlab_admin` databases, while having dedicated `gitlab_main` and `gitlab_ci` databases should already be handled by the way we use `config/database.yml`. We should also, already be able to handle the dedicated EU replicas while having a single US primary for `gitlab_users` and `gitlab_routes`. Below is a snippet of part of the database configuration for the Pod architecture described above.
-
-<details><summary>Pod US0</summary>

-## Request flows
-
-1. `gitlab-org` is a top level namespace and lives in `Pod US0` in the `GitLab.com Public` organization
-1. `my-company` is a top level namespace and lives in `Pod EU0` in the `my-organization` organization
-
-### Experience for paying user that is part of `my-organization`
-
-Such a user will have a default organization set to `/my-organization` and will be
-unable to load any global routes outside of this organization. They may load other
-projects/namespaces but their MR/Todo/Issue counts at the top of the page will
-not be correctly populated in the first iteration. The user will be aware of
-this limitation.
-
-#### Navigates to `/my-company/my-project` while logged in
-
-1. User is in Europe so DNS resolves to the router in Europe
-1. They request `/my-company/my-project` without the router cache, so the router chooses randomly `Pod EU1`
-1. `Pod EU1` does not have `/my-company`, but it knows that it lives in `Pod EU0` so it redirects the router to `Pod EU0`
-1. `Pod EU0` returns the correct response as well as setting the cache headers for the router `/my-company/* => Pod EU0`
-1. The router now caches and remembers any request paths matching `/my-company/*` should go to `Pod EU0`
-
-```mermaid

-```
-
-#### Navigates to `/my-company/my-project` while not logged in
-
-1. User is in Europe so DNS resolves to the router in Europe
-1. The router does not have `/my-company/*` cached yet so it chooses randomly `Pod EU1`
-1. `Pod EU1` redirects them through a login flow
-1. Still they request `/my-company/my-project` without the router cache, so the router chooses a random pod `Pod EU1`
-1. `Pod EU1` does not have `/my-company`, but it knows that it lives in `Pod EU0` so it redirects the router to `Pod EU0`
-1. `Pod EU0` returns the correct response as well as setting the cache headers for the router `/my-company/* => Pod EU0`
-1. The router now caches and remembers any request paths matching `/my-company/*` should go to `Pod EU0`

-```
-
-#### Navigates to `/my-company/my-other-project` after last step
-
-1. User is in Europe so DNS resolves to the router in Europe
-1. The router cache now has `/my-company/* => Pod EU0`, so the router chooses `Pod EU0`
-1. `Pod EU0` returns the correct response as well as the cache header again
-
-```mermaid

- pod_eu0->>user: <h1>My Project... X-Gitlab-Pod-Cache={path_prefix:/my-company/}
-```
-
-#### Navigates to `/gitlab-org/gitlab` after last step
-
-1. User is in Europe so DNS resolves to the router in Europe
-1. The router has no cached value for this URL so randomly chooses `Pod EU0`
-1. `Pod EU0` redirects the router to `Pod US0`
-1. `Pod US0` returns the correct response as well as the cache header again
-
-```mermaid
-sequenceDiagram
- participant user as User
- participant router_eu as Router EU
- participant pod_eu0 as Pod EU0
- participant pod_us0 as Pod US0
- user->>router_eu: GET /gitlab-org/gitlab
- router_eu->>pod_eu0: GET /gitlab-org/gitlab
- pod_eu0->>router_eu: 302 /gitlab-org/gitlab X-Gitlab-Pod-Redirect={pod:Pod US0}
- router_eu->>pod_us0: GET /gitlab-org/gitlab
- pod_us0->>user: <h1>GitLab.org... X-Gitlab-Pod-Cache={path_prefix:/gitlab-org/}
-```
-
-In this case the user is not on their "default organization" so their TODO
-counter will not include their normal todos. We may choose to highlight this in
-the UI somewhere. A future iteration may be able to fetch that for them from
-their default organization.
-
-#### Navigates to `/`
-
-1. User is in Europe so DNS resolves to the router in Europe
-1. Router does not have a cache for `/` route (specifically rails never tells it to cache this route)
-1. The Router choose `Pod EU0` randomly
-1. The Rails application knows the users default organization is `/my-organization`, so
- it redirects the user to `/organizations/my-organization/-/dashboard`
-1. The Router has a cached value for `/organizations/my-organization/*` so it then sends the
- request to `POD EU0`
-1. `Pod EU0` serves up a new page `/organizations/my-organization/-/dashboard` which is the same
- dashboard view we have today but scoped to an organization clearly in the UI
-1. The user is (optionally) presented with a message saying that data on this page is only
- from their default organization and that they can change their default
- organization if it's not right.
-
-```mermaid
-sequenceDiagram
- participant user as User
- participant router_eu as Router EU
- participant pod_eu0 as Pod EU0
- user->>router_eu: GET /
- router_eu->>pod_eu0: GET /
- pod_eu0->>user: 302 /organizations/my-organization/-/dashboard
- user->>router: GET /organizations/my-organization/-/dashboard
- router->>pod_eu0: GET /organizations/my-organization/-/dashboard
- pod_eu0->>user: <h1>My Company Dashboard... X-Gitlab-Pod-Cache={path_prefix:/organizations/my-organization/}
-```
-
-#### Navigates to `/dashboard`
-
-As above, they will end up on `/organizations/my-organization/-/dashboard` as
-the rails application will already redirect `/` to the dashboard page.
-
-### Navigates to `/not-my-company/not-my-project` while logged in (but they don't have access since this project/group is private)
-
-1. User is in Europe so DNS resolves to the router in Europe
-1. The router knows that `/not-my-company` lives in `Pod US1` so sends the request to this
-1. The user does not have access so `Pod US1` returns 404
-
-```mermaid
-sequenceDiagram
- participant user as User
- participant router_eu as Router EU
- participant pod_us1 as Pod US1
- user->>router_eu: GET /not-my-company/not-my-project
- router_eu->>pod_us1: GET /not-my-company/not-my-project
- pod_us1->>user: 404
-```
-
-#### Creates a new top level namespace
-
-The user will be asked which organization they want the namespace to belong to.
-If they select `my-organization` then it will end up on the same pod as all
-other namespaces in `my-organization`. If they select nothing we default to
-`GitLab.com Public` and it is clear to the user that this is isolated from
-their existing organization such that they won't be able to see data from both
-on a single page.
-
-### Experience for GitLab team member that is part of `/gitlab-org`
-
-Such a user is considered a legacy user and has their default organization set to
-`GitLab.com Public`. This is a "meta" organization that does not really exist but
-the Rails application knows to interpret this organization to mean that they are
-allowed to use legacy global functionality like `/dashboard` to see data across
-namespaces located on `Pod US0`. The rails backend also knows that the default pod to render any ambiguous
-routes like `/dashboard` is `Pod US0`. Lastly the user will be allowed to
-navigate to organizations on another pod like `/my-organization` but when they do the
-user will see a message indicating that some data may be missing (for example, the
-MRs/Issues/Todos) counts.
-
-#### Navigates to `/gitlab-org/gitlab` while not logged in
-
-1. User is in the US so DNS resolves to the US router
-1. The router knows that `/gitlab-org` lives in `Pod US0` so sends the request
- to this pod
-1. `Pod US0` serves up the response
-
-```mermaid
-sequenceDiagram
- participant user as User
- participant router_us as Router US
- participant pod_us0 as Pod US0
- user->>router_us: GET /gitlab-org/gitlab
- router_us->>pod_us0: GET /gitlab-org/gitlab
- pod_us0->>user: <h1>GitLab.org... X-Gitlab-Pod-Cache={path_prefix:/gitlab-org/}
-```
-
-#### Navigates to `/`
-
-1. User is in US so DNS resolves to the router in US
-1. Router does not have a cache for `/` route (specifically rails never tells it to cache this route)
-1. The Router chooses `Pod US1` randomly
-1. The Rails application knows the users default organization is `GitLab.com Public`, so
- it redirects the user to `/dashboards` (only legacy users can see
- `/dashboard` global view)
-1. Router does not have a cache for `/dashboard` route (specifically rails never tells it to cache this route)
-1. The Router chooses `Pod US1` randomly
-1. The Rails application knows the users default organization is `GitLab.com Public`, so
- it allows the user to load `/dashboards` (only legacy users can see
- `/dashboard` global view) and redirects to router the legacy pod which is `Pod US0`
-1. `Pod US0` serves up the global view dashboard page `/dashboard` which is the same
- dashboard view we have today
-
-```mermaid
-sequenceDiagram
- participant user as User
- participant router_us as Router US
- participant pod_us0 as Pod US0
- participant pod_us1 as Pod US1
- user->>router_us: GET /
- router_us->>pod_us1: GET /
- pod_us1->>user: 302 /dashboard
- user->>router_us: GET /dashboard
- router_us->>pod_us1: GET /dashboard
- pod_us1->>router_us: 302 /dashboard X-Gitlab-Pod-Redirect={pod:Pod US0}
- router_us->>pod_us0: GET /dashboard
- pod_us0->>user: <h1>Dashboard...
-```
-
-#### Navigates to `/my-company/my-other-project` while logged in (but they don't have access since this project is private)
-
-They get a 404.
-
-### Experience for non-authenticated users
-
-Flow is similar to authenticated users except global routes like `/dashboard` will
-redirect to the login page as there is no default organization to choose from.
-
-### A new customers signs up
-
-They will be asked if they are already part of an organization or if they'd
-like to create one. If they choose neither they end up no the default
-`GitLab.com Public` organization.
-
-### An organization is moved from 1 pod to another
-
-TODO
-
-### GraphQL/API requests which don't include the namespace in the URL
-
-TODO
-
-### The autocomplete suggestion functionality in the search bar which remembers recent issues/MRs
-
-TODO
-
-### Global search
-
-TODO
-
-## Administrator
-
-### Loads `/admin` page
-
-1. Router picks a random pod `Pod US0`
-1. Pod US0 redirects user to `/admin/pods/podus0`
-1. Pod US0 renders an Admin Area page and also returns a cache header to cache `/admin/podss/podus0/* => Pod US0`. The Admin Area page contains a dropdown list showing other pods they could select and it changes the query parameter.
-
-Admin Area settings in Postgres are all shared across all pods to avoid
-divergence but we still make it clear in the URL and UI which pod is serving
-the Admin Area page as there is dynamic data being generated from these pages and
-the operator may want to view a specific pod.
-
-## More Technical Problems To Solve
-
-### Replicating User Sessions Between All Pods
-
-Today user sessions live in Redis but each pod will have their own Redis instance. We already use a dedicated Redis instance for sessions so we could consider sharing this with all pods like we do with `gitlab_users` PostgreSQL database. But an important consideration will be latency as we would still want to mostly fetch sessions from the same region.
-
-An alternative might be that user sessions get moved to a JWT payload that encodes all the session data but this has downsides. For example, it is difficult to expire a user session, when their password changes or for other reasons, if the session lives in a JWT controlled by the user.
-
-### How do we migrate between Pods
-
-Migrating data between pods will need to factor all data stores:
-
-1. PostgreSQL
-1. Redis Shared State
-1. Gitaly
-1. Elasticsearch
-
-### Is it still possible to leak the existence of private groups via a timing attack?
-
-If you have router in EU, and you know that EU router by default redirects
-to EU located Pods, you know their latency (lets assume 10 ms). Now, if your
-request is bounced back and redirected to US which has different latency
-(lets assume that roundtrip will be around 60 ms) you can deduce that 404 was
-returned by US Pod and know that your 404 is in fact 403.
-
-We may defer this until we actually implement a pod in a different region. Such timing attacks are already theoretically possible with the way we do permission checks today but the timing difference is probably too small to be able to detect.
-
-One technique to mitigate this risk might be to have the router add a random
-delay to any request that returns 404 from a pod.
-
-## Should runners be shared across all pods?
-
-We have 2 options and we should decide which is easier:
-
-1. Decompose runner registration and queuing tables and share them across all
- pods. This may have implications for scalability, and we'd need to consider
- if this would include group/project runners as this may have scalability
- concerns as these are high traffic tables that would need to be shared.
-1. Runners are registered per-pod and, we probably have a separate fleet of
- runners for every pod or just register the same runners to many pods which
- may have implications for queueing
-
-## How do we guarantee unique ids across all pods for things that cannot conflict?
-
-This project assumes at least namespaces and projects have unique ids across
-all pods as many requests need to be routed based on their ID. Since those
-tables are across different databases then guaranteeing a unique ID will
-require a new solution. There are likely other tables where unique IDs are
-necessary and depending on how we resolve routing for GraphQL and other APIs
-and other design goals it may be determined that we want the primary key to be
-unique for all tables.

---
-This document is a work-in-progress and represents a very early state of the
-Pods design. Significant aspects are not documented, though we expect to add
-them in the future. This is one possible architecture for Pods, and we intend to
-contrast this with alternatives before deciding which approach to implement.
-This documentation will be kept even if we decide not to implement this so that
-we can document the reasons for not choosing this approach.
+This document was moved to [another location](../cells/proposal-stateless-router-with-routes-learning.md).
-# Proposal: Stateless Router
-
-We will decompose `gitlab_users`, `gitlab_routes` and `gitlab_admin` related
-tables so that they can be shared between all pods and allow any pod to
-authenticate a user and route requests to the correct pod. Pods may receive
-requests for the resources they don't own, but they know how to redirect back
-to the correct pod.
-
-The router is stateless and does not read from the `routes` database which
-means that all interactions with the database still happen from the Rails
-monolith. This architecture also supports regions by allowing for low traffic
-databases to be replicated across regions.
-
-Users are not directly exposed to the concept of Pods but instead they see
-different data dependent on their chosen "organization".
-[Organizations](index.md#organizations) will be a new model introduced to enforce isolation in the
-application and allow us to decide which request route to which pod, since an
-organization can only be on a single pod.
-
-## Differences
-
-The main difference between this proposal and one [with buffering requests](proposal-stateless-router-with-buffering-requests.md)
-is that this proposal uses a pre-flight API request (`/api/v4/pods/learn`) to redirect the request body to the correct Pod.
-This means that each request is sent exactly once to be processed, but the URI is used to decode which Pod it should be directed.
-
-## Summary in diagrams
-
-This shows how a user request routes via DNS to the nearest router and the router chooses a pod to send the request to.

-
-### More detail
-
-This shows that the router can actually send requests to any pod. The user will
-get the closest router to them geographically.

-
-### Even more detail

-This shows the databases. `gitlab_users` and `gitlab_routes` exist only in the
-US region but are replicated to other regions. Replication does not have an
-arrow because it's too hard to read the diagram.

-
-## Summary of changes
-
-1. Tables related to User data (including profile settings, authentication credentials, personal access tokens) are decomposed into a `gitlab_users` schema
-1. The `routes` table is decomposed into `gitlab_routes` schema
-1. The `application_settings` (and probably a few other instance level tables) are decomposed into `gitlab_admin` schema
-1. A new column `routes.pod_id` is added to `routes` table
-1. A new Router service exists to choose which pod to route a request to.
-1. If a router receives a new request it will send `/api/v4/pods/learn?method=GET&path_info=/group-org/project` to learn which Pod can process it
-1. A new concept will be introduced in GitLab called an organization
-1. We require all existing endpoints to be routable by URI, or be fixed to a specific Pod for processing. This requires changing ambiguous endpoints like `/dashboard` to be scoped like `/organizations/my-organization/-/dashboard`
-1. Endpoints like `/admin` would be routed always to the specific Pod, like `pod_0`
-1. Each Pod can respond to `/api/v4/pods/learn` and classify each endpoint
-1. Writes to `gitlab_users` and `gitlab_routes` are sent to a primary PostgreSQL server in our `US` region but reads can come from replicas in the same region. This will add latency for these writes but we expect they are infrequent relative to the rest of GitLab.
-
-## Pre-flight request learning
-
-While processing a request the URI will be decoded and a pre-flight request
-will be sent for each non-cached endpoint.
-
-When asking for the endpoint GitLab Rails will return information about
-the routable path. GitLab Rails will decode `path_info` and match it to
-an existing endpoint and find a routable entity (like project). The router will
-treat this as short-lived cache information.
-
-1. Prefix match: `/api/v4/pods/learn?method=GET&path_info=/gitlab-org/gitlab-test/-/issues`
-
- ```json
- {
- "path": "/gitlab-org/gitlab-test",
- "pod": "pod_0",
- "source": "routable"
- }
- ```
-
-1. Some endpoints might require an exact match: `/api/v4/pods/learn?method=GET&path_info=/-/profile`
-
- ```json
- {
- "path": "/-/profile",
- "pod": "pod_0",
- "source": "fixed",
- "exact": true
- }
- ```
-
-## Detailed explanation of default organization in the first iteration
-
-All users will get a new column `users.default_organization` which they can
-control in user settings. We will introduce a concept of the
-`GitLab.com Public` organization. This will be set as the default organization for all existing
-users. This organization will allow the user to see data from all namespaces in
-`Pod US0` (ie. our original GitLab.com instance). This behavior can be invisible to
-existing users such that they don't even get told when they are viewing a
-global page like `/dashboard` that it's even scoped to an organization.
-
-Any new users with a default organization other than `GitLab.com Public` will have
-a distinct user experience and will be fully aware that every page they load is
-only ever scoped to a single organization. These users can never
-load any global pages like `/dashboard` and will end up being redirected to
-`/organizations/<DEFAULT_ORGANIZATION>/-/dashboard`. This may also be the case
-for legacy APIs and such users may only ever be able to use APIs scoped to a
-organization.
-
-## Detailed explanation of Admin Area settings
-
-We believe that maintaining and synchronizing Admin Area settings will be
-frustrating and painful so to avoid this we will decompose and share all Admin Area
-settings in the `gitlab_admin` schema. This should be safe (similar to other
-shared schemas) because these receive very little write traffic.
-
-In cases where different pods need different settings (eg. the
-Elasticsearch URL), we will either decide to use a templated
-format in the relevant `application_settings` row which allows it to be dynamic
-per pod. Alternatively if that proves difficult we'll introduce a new table
-called `per_pod_application_settings` and this will have 1 row per pod to allow
-setting different settings per pod. It will still be part of the `gitlab_admin`
-schema and shared which will allow us to centrally manage it and simplify
-keeping settings in sync for all pods.
-
-## Pros
-
-1. Router is stateless and can live in many regions. We use Anycast DNS to resolve to nearest region for the user.
-1. Pods can receive requests for namespaces in the wrong pod and the user
- still gets the right response as well as caching at the router that
- ensures the next request is sent to the correct pod so the next request
- will go to the correct pod
-1. The majority of the code still lives in `gitlab` rails codebase. The Router doesn't actually need to understand how GitLab URLs are composed.
-1. Since the responsibility to read and write `gitlab_users`,
- `gitlab_routes` and `gitlab_admin` still lives in Rails it means minimal
- changes will be needed to the Rails application compared to extracting
- services that need to isolate the domain models and build new interfaces.
-1. Compared to a separate routing service this allows the Rails application
- to encode more complex rules around how to map URLs to the correct pod
- and may work for some existing API endpoints.
-1. All the new infrastructure (just a router) is optional and a single-pod
- self-managed installation does not even need to run the Router and there are
- no other new services.
-
-## Cons
-
-1. `gitlab_users`, `gitlab_routes` and `gitlab_admin` databases may need to be
- replicated across regions and writes need to go across regions. We need to
- do an analysis on write TPS for the relevant tables to determine if this is
- feasible.
-1. Sharing access to the database from many different Pods means that they are
- all coupled at the Postgres schema level and this means changes to the
- database schema need to be done carefully in sync with the deployment of all
- Pods. This limits us to ensure that Pods are kept in closely similar
- versions compared to an architecture with shared services that have an API
- we control.
-1. Although most data is stored in the right region there can be requests
- proxied from another region which may be an issue for certain types
- of compliance.
-1. Data in `gitlab_users` and `gitlab_routes` databases must be replicated in
- all regions which may be an issue for certain types of compliance.
-1. The router cache may need to be very large if we get a wide variety of URLs
- (ie. long tail). In such a case we may need to implement a 2nd level of
- caching in user cookies so their frequently accessed pages always go to the
- right pod the first time.
-1. Having shared database access for `gitlab_users` and `gitlab_routes`
- from multiple pods is an unusual architecture decision compared to
- extracting services that are called from multiple pods.
-1. It is very likely we won't be able to find cacheable elements of a
- GraphQL URL and often existing GraphQL endpoints are heavily dependent on
- ids that won't be in the `routes` table so pods won't necessarily know
- what pod has the data. As such we'll probably have to update our GraphQL
- calls to include an organization context in the path like
- `/api/organizations/<organization>/graphql`.
-1. This architecture implies that implemented endpoints can only access data
- that are readily accessible on a given Pod, but are unlikely
- to aggregate information from many Pods.
-1. All unknown routes are sent to the latest deployment which we assume to be `Pod US0`.
- This is required as newly added endpoints will be only decodable by latest pod.
- Likely this is not a problem for the `/pods/learn` is it is lightweight
- to process and this should not cause a performance impact.
-
-## Example database configuration
-
-Handling shared `gitlab_users`, `gitlab_routes` and `gitlab_admin` databases, while having dedicated `gitlab_main` and `gitlab_ci` databases should already be handled by the way we use `config/database.yml`. We should also, already be able to handle the dedicated EU replicas while having a single US primary for `gitlab_users` and `gitlab_routes`. Below is a snippet of part of the database configuration for the Pod architecture described above.
-
-**Pod US0**:
-
-```yaml
-# config/database.yml
-production:
- main:
- host: postgres-main.pod-us0.primary.consul
- load_balancing:
- discovery: postgres-main.pod-us0.replicas.consul

-```
-
-**Pod EU0**:
-
-```yaml
-# config/database.yml
-production:
- main:
- host: postgres-main.pod-eu0.primary.consul
- load_balancing:
- discovery: postgres-main.pod-eu0.replicas.consul

- load_balancing:
- discovery: postgres-users-replicas.eu.consul
- routes:
- host: postgres-routes-primary.consul
- load_balancing:
- discovery: postgres-routes-replicas.eu.consul
- admin:
- host: postgres-admin-primary.consul

-## Request flows
-
-1. `gitlab-org` is a top level namespace and lives in `Pod US0` in the `GitLab.com Public` organization
-1. `my-company` is a top level namespace and lives in `Pod EU0` in the `my-organization` organization
-
-### Experience for paying user that is part of `my-organization`
-
-Such a user will have a default organization set to `/my-organization` and will be
-unable to load any global routes outside of this organization. They may load other
-projects/namespaces but their MR/Todo/Issue counts at the top of the page will
-not be correctly populated in the first iteration. The user will be aware of
-this limitation.
-
-#### Navigates to `/my-company/my-project` while logged in
-
-1. User is in Europe so DNS resolves to the router in Europe
-1. They request `/my-company/my-project` without the router cache, so the router chooses randomly `Pod EU1`
-1. The `/pods/learn` is sent to `Pod EU1`, which responds that resource lives on `Pod EU0`
-1. `Pod EU0` returns the correct response
-1. The router now caches and remembers any request paths matching `/my-company/*` should go to `Pod EU0`

-
-#### Navigates to `/my-company/my-project` while not logged in

-1. The `/pods/learn` is sent to `Pod EU1`, which responds that resource lives on `Pod EU0`

-```
-
-#### Navigates to `/my-company/my-other-project` after last step
-
-1. User is in Europe so DNS resolves to the router in Europe
-1. The router cache now has `/my-company/* => Pod EU0`, so the router chooses `Pod EU0`
-1. `Pod EU0` returns the correct response as well as the cache header again
-
-```mermaid

-```
-
-#### Navigates to `/gitlab-org/gitlab` after last step
-
-1. User is in Europe so DNS resolves to the router in Europe
-1. The router has no cached value for this URL so randomly chooses `Pod EU0`
-1. `Pod EU0` redirects the router to `Pod US0`
-1. `Pod US0` returns the correct response as well as the cache header again
-
-```mermaid
-sequenceDiagram
- participant user as User
- participant router_eu as Router EU
- participant pod_eu0 as Pod EU0
- participant pod_us0 as Pod US0

-```
-
-In this case the user is not on their "default organization" so their TODO
-counter will not include their normal todos. We may choose to highlight this in
-the UI somewhere. A future iteration may be able to fetch that for them from
-their default organization.
-
-#### Navigates to `/`
-
-1. User is in Europe so DNS resolves to the router in Europe
-1. Router does not have a cache for `/` route (specifically rails never tells it to cache this route)
-1. The Router choose `Pod EU0` randomly
-1. The Rails application knows the users default organization is `/my-organization`, so
- it redirects the user to `/organizations/my-organization/-/dashboard`
-1. The Router has a cached value for `/organizations/my-organization/*` so it then sends the
- request to `POD EU0`
-1. `Pod EU0` serves up a new page `/organizations/my-organization/-/dashboard` which is the same
- dashboard view we have today but scoped to an organization clearly in the UI
-1. The user is (optionally) presented with a message saying that data on this page is only
- from their default organization and that they can change their default
- organization if it's not right.
-
-```mermaid
-sequenceDiagram

- participant pod_eu0 as Pod EU0
- user->>router_eu: GET /
- router_eu->>pod_eu0: GET /
- pod_eu0->>user: 302 /organizations/my-organization/-/dashboard
- user->>router: GET /organizations/my-organization/-/dashboard
- router->>pod_eu0: GET /organizations/my-organization/-/dashboard
- pod_eu0->>user: <h1>My Company Dashboard... X-Gitlab-Pod-Cache={path_prefix:/organizations/my-organization/}
-```
-
-#### Navigates to `/dashboard`
-
-As above, they will end up on `/organizations/my-organization/-/dashboard` as
-the rails application will already redirect `/` to the dashboard page.
-
-### Navigates to `/not-my-company/not-my-project` while logged in (but they don't have access since this project/group is private)
-
-1. User is in Europe so DNS resolves to the router in Europe
-1. The router knows that `/not-my-company` lives in `Pod US1` so sends the request to this
-1. The user does not have access so `Pod US1` returns 404
-
-```mermaid
-sequenceDiagram
- participant user as User
- participant router_eu as Router EU
- participant pod_us1 as Pod US1
- user->>router_eu: GET /not-my-company/not-my-project
- router_eu->>pod_us1: GET /not-my-company/not-my-project
- pod_us1->>user: 404
-```
-
-#### Creates a new top level namespace
-
-The user will be asked which organization they want the namespace to belong to.
-If they select `my-organization` then it will end up on the same pod as all
-other namespaces in `my-organization`. If they select nothing we default to
-`GitLab.com Public` and it is clear to the user that this is isolated from
-their existing organization such that they won't be able to see data from both
-on a single page.
-
-### Experience for GitLab team member that is part of `/gitlab-org`
-
-Such a user is considered a legacy user and has their default organization set to
-`GitLab.com Public`. This is a "meta" organization that does not really exist but
-the Rails application knows to interpret this organization to mean that they are
-allowed to use legacy global functionality like `/dashboard` to see data across
-namespaces located on `Pod US0`. The rails backend also knows that the default pod to render any ambiguous
-routes like `/dashboard` is `Pod US0`. Lastly the user will be allowed to
-navigate to organizations on another pod like `/my-organization` but when they do the
-user will see a message indicating that some data may be missing (eg. the
-MRs/Issues/Todos) counts.
-
-#### Navigates to `/gitlab-org/gitlab` while not logged in
-
-1. User is in the US so DNS resolves to the US router
-1. The router knows that `/gitlab-org` lives in `Pod US0` so sends the request
- to this pod
-1. `Pod US0` serves up the response
-
-```mermaid
-sequenceDiagram
- participant user as User
- participant router_us as Router US
- participant pod_us0 as Pod US0
- user->>router_us: GET /gitlab-org/gitlab
- router_us->>pod_us0: GET /gitlab-org/gitlab
- pod_us0->>user: <h1>GitLab.org...
-```
-
-#### Navigates to `/`
-
-1. User is in US so DNS resolves to the router in US
-1. Router does not have a cache for `/` route (specifically rails never tells it to cache this route)
-1. The Router chooses `Pod US1` randomly
-1. The Rails application knows the users default organization is `GitLab.com Public`, so
- it redirects the user to `/dashboards` (only legacy users can see
- `/dashboard` global view)
-1. Router does not have a cache for `/dashboard` route (specifically rails never tells it to cache this route)
-1. The Router chooses `Pod US1` randomly
-1. The Rails application knows the users default organization is `GitLab.com Public`, so
- it allows the user to load `/dashboards` (only legacy users can see
- `/dashboard` global view) and redirects to router the legacy pod which is `Pod US0`
-1. `Pod US0` serves up the global view dashboard page `/dashboard` which is the same
- dashboard view we have today
-
-```mermaid

- router_us->>pod_us0: GET /dashboard
- pod_us0->>user: <h1>Dashboard...
-```
-
-#### Navigates to `/my-company/my-other-project` while logged in (but they don't have access since this project is private)
-
-They get a 404.
-
-### Experience for non-authenticated users
-
-Flow is similar to logged in users except global routes like `/dashboard` will
-redirect to the login page as there is no default organization to choose from.
-
-### A new customers signs up
-
-They will be asked if they are already part of an organization or if they'd
-like to create one. If they choose neither they end up no the default
-`GitLab.com Public` organization.
-
-### An organization is moved from 1 pod to another
-
-TODO
-
-### GraphQL/API requests which don't include the namespace in the URL
-
-TODO
-
-### The autocomplete suggestion functionality in the search bar which remembers recent issues/MRs
-
-TODO
-
-### Global search
-
-TODO
-
-## Administrator
-
-### Loads `/admin` page
-
-1. The `/admin` is locked to `Pod US0`
-1. Some endpoints of `/admin`, like Projects in Admin are scoped to a Pod
- and users needs to choose the correct one in a dropdown, which results in endpoint
- like `/admin/pods/pod_0/projects`.
-
-Admin Area settings in Postgres are all shared across all pods to avoid
-divergence but we still make it clear in the URL and UI which pod is serving
-the Admin Area page as there is dynamic data being generated from these pages and
-the operator may want to view a specific pod.
-
-## More Technical Problems To Solve
-
-### Replicating User Sessions Between All Pods
-
-Today user sessions live in Redis but each pod will have their own Redis instance. We already use a dedicated Redis instance for sessions so we could consider sharing this with all pods like we do with `gitlab_users` PostgreSQL database. But an important consideration will be latency as we would still want to mostly fetch sessions from the same region.
-
-An alternative might be that user sessions get moved to a JWT payload that encodes all the session data but this has downsides. For example, it is difficult to expire a user session, when their password changes or for other reasons, if the session lives in a JWT controlled by the user.
-
-### How do we migrate between Pods
-
-Migrating data between pods will need to factor all data stores:
-
-1. PostgreSQL
-1. Redis Shared State
-1. Gitaly
-1. Elasticsearch
-
-### Is it still possible to leak the existence of private groups via a timing attack?
-
-If you have router in EU, and you know that EU router by default redirects
-to EU located Pods, you know their latency (lets assume 10 ms). Now, if your
-request is bounced back and redirected to US which has different latency
-(lets assume that roundtrip will be around 60 ms) you can deduce that 404 was
-returned by US Pod and know that your 404 is in fact 403.
-
-We may defer this until we actually implement a pod in a different region. Such timing attacks are already theoretically possible with the way we do permission checks today but the timing difference is probably too small to be able to detect.
-
-One technique to mitigate this risk might be to have the router add a random
-delay to any request that returns 404 from a pod.
-
-## Should runners be shared across all pods?
-
-We have 2 options and we should decide which is easier:
-
-1. Decompose runner registration and queuing tables and share them across all
- pods. This may have implications for scalability, and we'd need to consider
- if this would include group/project runners as this may have scalability
- concerns as these are high traffic tables that would need to be shared.
-1. Runners are registered per-pod and, we probably have a separate fleet of
- runners for every pod or just register the same runners to many pods which
- may have implications for queueing
-
-## How do we guarantee unique ids across all pods for things that cannot conflict?
-
-This project assumes at least namespaces and projects have unique ids across
-all pods as many requests need to be routed based on their ID. Since those
-tables are across different databases then guaranteeing a unique ID will
-require a new solution. There are likely other tables where unique IDs are
-necessary and depending on how we resolve routing for GraphQL and other APIs
-and other design goals it may be determined that we want the primary key to be
-unique for all tables.

-- How do we support more than one IDE?
-- How are workspaces provisioned?
-- How can workspaces implement disaster recovery capabilities?
-- If we cannot use SSH, what are the viable alternatives for establishing a secure WebSocket connection?
-- Are we running into any limitations in functionality with the Web IDE by not having it running in the container itself? For example, are we going to get code completion, linting, and language server type features to work with our approach?
-- How will our environments be provisioned, managed, created, destroyed, etc.?

-
-## Iteration plan
-
-We can't ship the entire Remote Development architecture in one go - it is too large. Instead, we are adopting an iteration plan that provides value along the way.
-
-- Use GitLab Agent for Kubernetes Remote Development Module.
-- Integrate Remote Development with the UI and Web IDE.
-- Improve security and usability.
-
-### High-level approach
-
-The nuts and bolts are being worked out at [Remote Development GA4K Architecture](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/remote-development/gitlab-remote-development-docs/-/blob/main/doc/architecture.md) to keep a SSoT. Once we have hammered out the details, we'll replace this section with the diagram in the above repository.
-
-### Iteration 0: [GitLab Agent for Kubernetes Remote Development Module (plumbing)](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/9138)
-
-#### Goals
-
-- Use the [GitLab Agent](../../../user/clusters/agent/index.md) integration.
-- Create a workspace in a Kubernetes cluster based on a `devfile` in a public repository.
-- Install the IDE and dependencies as defined.
-- Report the status of the environment (via the terminal or through an endpoint).
-- Connect to an IDE in the workspace.
-
-#### Requirements
-
-- Remote environment running on a Kubernetes cluster based on a `devfile` in a repo.
-
-These are **not** part of Iteration 0:
-
-- Authentication/authorization with GitLab and a user.
-- Integration of Remote Development with the GitLab UI and Web IDE.
-- Using GA4K instead of an Ingress controller.
-
-#### Assumptions
-
-- We will use [`devworkspace-operator` v0.17.0 (latest version)](https://github.com/devfile/devworkspace-operator/releases/tag/v0.17.0). A prerequisite is [`cert-manager`](https://github.com/devfile/devworkspace-operator#with-yaml-resources).
-- We have an Ingress controller ([Ingress-NGINX](https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx)), which is accessible over the network.
-- The initial server is stubbed.
-
-#### Success criteria
-
-- Using GA4K to communicate with the Kubernetes API from the `remote_dev` agent module.
-- All calls to the Kubernetes API are done through GA4K.
-- A workspace in a Kubernetes cluster created using DevWorkspace Operator.
-
-### Iteration 1: [Rails endpoints, authentication, and authorization](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/9323)
-
-#### Goals
-
-- Add endpoints in Rails to accept work from a user.
-- Poll Rails for work from KAS.
-- Add authentication and authorization to the workspaces created in the Kubernetes cluster.
-- Extend the GA4K `remote_dev` agent module to accept more types of work (get details of a workspace, list workspaces for a user, etc).
-- Build an editor injector for the GitLab fork of VS Code.
-
-#### Requirements
-
-- [GitLab Agent for Kubernetes Remote Development Module (plumbing)](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/9138) is complete.
-
-These are **not** part of Iteration 1:
-
-- Integration of Remote Development with the GitLab UI and Web IDE.
-- Using GA4K instead of an Ingress controller.
-
-#### Assumptions
-
-- TBA
-
-#### Success criteria
-
-- Poll Rails for work from KAS.
-- Rails endpoints to create/delete/get/list workspaces.
-- All requests are correctly authenticated and authorized except where the user has requested the traffic to be public (for example, opening a server while developing and making it public).
-- A user can create a workspace, start a server on that workspace, and have that traffic become private/internal/public.
-- We are using the GitLab fork of VS Code as an editor.
-
-### Iteration 2: [Integrate Remote Development with the UI and Web IDE](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/9169)
-
-#### Goals
-
-- Allow users full control of their workspaces via the GitLab UI.
-
-#### Requirements
-
-- [GitLab Agent for Kubernetes Remote Development Module](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/9138).
-
-These are **not** part of Iteration 2:
-
-- Usability improvements
-- Security improvements
-
-#### Success criteria
-
-- Be able to list/create/delete/stop/start/restart workspaces from the UI.
-- Be able to create workspaces for the user in the Web IDE.
-- Allow the Web IDE terminal to connect to different containers in the workspace.
-- Configure DevWorkspace Operator for user-expected configuration (30-minute workspace timeout, a separate persistent volume for each workspace that is deleted when the workspace is deleted, etc.).
-
-### Iteration 3: [Improve security and usability](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/9170)
-
-#### Goals
-
-- Improve security and usability of our Remote Development solution.
-
-#### Requirements
-
-- [Integrate Remote Development with the UI and Web IDE](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/9169) is complete.
-
-#### Assumptions
-
-- We are allowing for internal feedback and closed/early customer feedback that can be iterated on.
-- We have explored or are exploring the feasibility of using GA4K with Ingresses in [Solving Ingress problems for Remote Development](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/378998).
-- We have explored or are exploring Kata containers for providing root access to workspace users in [Investigate Kata Containers / Firecracker / gVisor](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/367043).
-- We have explored or are exploring how Ingress/Egress requests cannot be misused from [resources within or outside the cluster](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/remote-development/gitlab-remote-development-docs/-/blob/main/doc/securing-the-workspace.md) (security hardening).
-
-#### Success criteria
-
-Add options to:
-
-- Create different classes of workspaces (1gb-2cpu, 4gb-8cpu, etc.).
-- Vertically scale up workspace resources.
-- Inject secrets from a GitLab user/group/repository.
-- Configure timeouts of workspaces at multiple levels.
-- Allow users to expose endpoints in their workspace (for example, not allow anyone in the organization to expose any endpoint publicly).

-GitLab ChatOps provides a method to interact with CI/CD jobs through chat services

-posted back to the channel can significantly augment your team's workflow.
+Use GitLab ChatOps to interact with CI/CD jobs through chat services
+like Slack.
-## How GitLab ChatOps works
+Many organizations use chat services to collaborate, troubleshoot, and plan work. With ChatOps,
+you can discuss work with your team, run CI/CD jobs, and view job output, all from the same
+application.
-GitLab ChatOps is built upon [GitLab CI/CD](../index.md) and
-[Slack Slash Commands](../../user/project/integrations/slack_slash_commands.md).
-ChatOps provides a `run` action for [slash commands](../../integration/slash_commands.md)
-with the following arguments:
+## ChatOps workflow and CI/CD configuration
-- A `<job name>` to execute.
-- The `<job arguments>`.
+ChatOps looks for the specified job in the
+[`.gitlab-ci.yml`](../yaml/index.md) on the project's default
+branch. If the job is found, ChatOps creates a pipeline that contains
+only the specified job. If you set `when: manual`, ChatOps creates the
+pipeline, but the job doesn't start automatically.
+
+A job run with ChatOps has the same functionality as a job run from
+GitLab. The job can use existing [CI/CD variables](../variables/index.md#predefined-cicd-variables) like
+`GITLAB_USER_ID` to perform additional rights validation, but these
+variables can be [overridden](../variables/index.md#cicd-variable-precedence).
+
+You should set [`rules`](../yaml/index.md#rules) so the job does not
+run as part of the standard CI/CD pipeline.
ChatOps passes the following [CI/CD variables](../variables/index.md#predefined-cicd-variables)
to the job:
-- `CHAT_INPUT` contains any additional arguments.
-- `CHAT_CHANNEL` is set to the name of channel the action was triggered in.
-- `CHAT_USER_ID` is set to the chat service's user ID of the user who triggered the slash command.
+- `CHAT_INPUT` - The arguments passed to `/project-name run`.
+- `CHAT_CHANNEL` - The name of the chat channel the job is run from.
+- `CHAT_USER_ID` - The chat service ID of the user who runs the job.
-When executed, ChatOps looks up the specified job name and attempts to match it
-to a corresponding job in [`.gitlab-ci.yml`](../yaml/index.md). If a matching job
-is found on the default branch, a pipeline containing only that job is scheduled. After the
-job completes:
+When the job runs:
-- If the job completes in *less than 30 minutes*, the ChatOps sends the job's output to Slack.
-- If the job completes in *more than 30 minutes*, the job must use the
+- If the job completes in less than 30 minutes, ChatOps sends the job output to the chat channel.
+- If the job completes in more than 30 minutes, you must use a method like the
[Slack API](https://api.slack.com/) to send data to the channel.
-To use the `run` command, you must have at least the
-Developer role.
-If a job shouldn't be able to be triggered from chat, you can set the job to `except: [chat]`.
+## Run a CI/CD job
+
+You can run a CI/CD job from chat with the `/project-name run`
+[slash command](../../integration/slash_commands.md).
+
+Prerequisites:
+
+- You must have at least the Developer role for the project.
+
+To run a CI/CD job:
+
+- In the chat client, enter `/project-name run <job name> <arguments>`.
-## Best practices for ChatOps CI jobs
+ChatOps schedules a pipeline that contains only the specified job.
-Since ChatOps is built upon GitLab CI/CD, the job has all the same features and
-functions available. Consider these best practices when creating ChatOps jobs:
+### Exclude a job from ChatOps
-- GitLab strongly recommends you set [`rules`](../yaml/index.md#rules) so the job does not run as part
- of the standard CI pipeline.
-- If the job is set to `when: manual`, ChatOps creates the pipeline, but the job waits to be started.
-- ChatOps provides limited support for access control. If the user triggering the
- slash command has at least the Developer role
- in the project, the job runs. The job itself can use existing
- [CI/CD variables](../variables/index.md#predefined-cicd-variables) like
- `GITLAB_USER_ID` to perform additional rights validation, but
- these variables can be [overridden](../variables/index.md#cicd-variable-precedence).
+To prevent a job from being run from chat:
-### Controlling the ChatOps reply
+- In `.gitlab-ci.yml`, set the job to `except: [chat]`.
-The output for jobs with a single command is sent to the channel as a reply. For
-example, the chat reply of the following job is `Hello World` in the channel:
+## Customize the ChatOps reply

+
+## Components Repository
+
+A components repository is a GitLab project with a repository that hosts one or more pipeline components. A pipeline component is a reusable single pipeline configuration unit. You can use them to compose an entire pipeline configuration or a small part of a larger pipeline. It can optionally take [input parameters](../yaml/includes.md#define-input-parameters-with-specinputs).
+
+### Create a components repository
+
+To create a components repository, you must:
+
+1. [Create a new project](../../user/project/index.md#create-a-blank-project) with a `README.md` file.
+
+1. Create a `template.yml` file inside the project's root directory that contains the configuration you want to provide as a component. For example:
+
+ ```yaml
+ spec:
+ inputs:
+ stage:
+ default: test
+ ---
+ component-job:
+ script: echo job 1
+ stage: $[[ inputs.stage ]]
+ ```
+
+### Directory structure
+
+A components repository can host one or more components.
+
+Components repositories must follow a mandatory file structure, containing:
+
+- `template.yml`: The component configuration, one file per component. If there is
+ only one component, this file can be in the root of the project. If there are multiple
+ components, each file must be in a separate subdirectory.
+- `README.md`: A documentation file explaining the details of the all the components in the repository.
+
+For example, if the project is on GitLab.com, named `my-component`, and in a personal
+namespace named `my-username`:
+
+- Containing a single component and a simple pipeline to test the component, then
+ the file structure might be:
+
+ ```plaintext
+ ├── template.yml
+ ├── README.md
+ └── .gitlab-ci.yml
+ ```
+
+ This component is referenced with the path `gitlab.com/my-username/my-component@<version>`.
+
+- Containing one default component and multiple sub-components, then the file structure
+ might be:
+
+ ```plaintext
+ ├── template.yml
+ ├── README.md
+ ├── .gitlab-ci.yml
+ ├── unit/
+ │ └── template.yml
+ └── integration/
+ └── template.yml
+ ```
+
+ These components are identified by these paths:
+
+ - `gitlab.com/my-username/my-component`
+ - `gitlab.com/my-username/my-component/unit`
+ - `gitlab.com/my-username/my-component/integration`
+
+It is possible to have a components repository with no default component, by having
+no `template.yml` in the root directory.
+
+**Additional notes:**
+
+Nesting of components is not possible. For example:
+
+```plaintext
+├── unit/
+│ └── template.yml
+│ └── another_folder/
+│ └── nested_template.yml
+```
+
+### Test a component
+
+Testing components as part of the development workflow to ensure that quality maintains high standards is strongly recommended.
+
+Testing changes in a CI/CD pipeline can be done, like any other project, by creating a `.gitlab-ci.yml` in the root directory.
+
+For example:
+
+```yaml
+include:
+ # include the component located in the current project from the current SHA
+ - component: gitlab.com/$CI_PROJECT_PATH@$CI_COMMIT_SHA
+ inputs:
+ stage: build
+
+stages: [build, test, release]
+
+# Expect `component-job` is added.
+# This is an example of testing that the included component works as expected.
+# You can leverage GitLab API endpoints or 3rd party tools to inspect data generated by the component.
+ensure-job-added:
+ stage: test
+ image: badouralix/curl-jq
+ script:
+ - |
+ route="https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/$CI_PROJECT_ID/pipelines/$CI_PIPELINE_ID/jobs"
+ count=`curl --silent --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: $API_TOKEN" $route | jq 'map(select(.name | contains("component-job"))) | length'`
+ if [ "$count" != "1" ]; then
+ exit 1
+ fi
+
+# If we are tagging a release with a specific convention ("v" + number) and all
+# previous checks succeeded, we proceed with creating a release automatically.
+create-release:
+ stage: release
+ image: registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/release-cli:latest
+ rules:
+ - if: $CI_COMMIT_TAG =~ /^v\d+/
+ script: echo "Creating release $CI_COMMIT_TAG"
+ release:
+ tag_name: $CI_COMMIT_TAG
+ description: "Release $CI_COMMIT_TAG of components repository $CI_PROJECT_PATH"
+```
+
+After committing and pushing changes, the pipeline tests the component then releases it if the test passes.
+
+### Release a component
+
+Component repositories are released using the [`release`](../yaml/index.md#release) keyword within a CI pipeline.
+
+Like in the [example above](#test-a-component), after all tests pass in a pipeline running for a tag ref, we can release a new version of the components repository.
+
+All released versions of the components repository are displayed in the Components Catalog page for the given resource, providing users with information about official releases.
+
+### Use a component in a CI/CD configuration
+
+A pipeline component is identified by a unique address in the form `<fully-qualified-doman-name>/<component-path>@<version>`
+containing:
+
+- **A fully qualified domain name (FQDN)**: The FQDN must match the GitLab host.
+- **A specific version**: The version of the component can be (in order of highest priority first):
+ - A commit SHA, for example `gitlab.com/gitlab-org/dast@e3262fdd0914fa823210cdb79a8c421e2cef79d8`.
+ - A tag. for example: `gitlab.com/gitlab-org/dast@1.0`.
+ - `~latest`, which is a special version that always points to the most recent released tag,
+ for example `gitlab.com/gitlab-org/dast@~latest`.
+ - A branch name, for example `gitlab.com/gitlab-org/dast@main`.
+- **A component path**: Contains the project's full path and the directory where the component YAML file `template.yml` is located.
+
+For example, for a component repository located at `gitlab-org/dast` on `gitlab.com`:
+
+- The path `gitlab.com/gitlab-org/dast` tries to load the `template.yml` from the root directory.
+- The path `gitalb.com/gitlab-org/dast/api-scan` tries to load the `template.yml` from the `/api-scan` directory.
+
+**Additional notes:**
+
+- If a tag and branch exist with the same name, the tag takes precedence over the branch.
+- If a tag is named the same as a commit SHA that exists, like `e3262fdd0914fa823210cdb79a8c421e2cef79d8`,
+ the commit SHA takes precedence over the tag.
+
+## CI/CD Catalog
+
+The CI/CD Catalog is a list of [components repositories](#components-repository),
+each containing resources that you can add to your CI/CD pipelines.
+
+### Mark the project as a catalog resource
+
+After components are added to a components repository, they can immediately be [used](#use-a-component-in-a-cicd-configuration) to build pipelines in other projects.
+
+However, this repository is not discoverable. You must mark this project as a catalog resource to allow it to be visible in the CI Catalog
+so other users can discover it.
+
+To mark a project as a catalog resource, run the following [graphQL](../../api/graphql/index.md)
+mutation:
+
+```graphql
+mutation {
+ catalogResourcesCreate(input: { projectPath: "path-to-project"}) {
+ errors
+ }
+}
+```

+# Authenticate with registry in Docker-in-Docker
+
+When you use Docker-in-Docker, the
+[standard authentication methods](using_docker_images.md#access-an-image-from-a-private-container-registry)
+do not work, because a fresh Docker daemon is started with the service.
+
+## Option 1: Run `docker login`
+
+In [`before_script`](../yaml/index.md#before_script), run `docker
+login`:
+
+```yaml
+image: docker:20.10.16
+
+variables:
+ DOCKER_TLS_CERTDIR: "/certs"
+
+services:
+ - docker:20.10.16-dind
+
+build:
+ stage: build
+ before_script:
+ - echo "$DOCKER_REGISTRY_PASS" | docker login $DOCKER_REGISTRY --username $DOCKER_REGISTRY_USER --password-stdin
+ script:
+ - docker build -t my-docker-image .
+ - docker run my-docker-image /script/to/run/tests
+```
+
+To sign in to Docker Hub, leave `$DOCKER_REGISTRY`
+empty or remove it.
+
+## Option 2: Mount `~/.docker/config.json` on each job
+
+If you are an administrator for GitLab Runner, you can mount a file
+with the authentication configuration to `~/.docker/config.json`.
+Then every job that the runner picks up is already authenticated. If you
+are using the official `docker:20.10.16` image, the home directory is
+under `/root`.
+
+If you mount the configuration file, any `docker` command
+that modifies the `~/.docker/config.json` fails. For example, `docker login`
+fails, because the file is mounted as read-only. Do not change it from
+read-only, because this causes problems.
+
+Here is an example of `/opt/.docker/config.json` that follows the
+[`DOCKER_AUTH_CONFIG`](using_docker_images.md#determine-your-docker_auth_config-data)
+documentation:
+
+```json
+{
+ "auths": {
+ "https://index.docker.io/v1/": {
+ "auth": "bXlfdXNlcm5hbWU6bXlfcGFzc3dvcmQ="
+ }
+ }
+}
+```
+
+### Docker
+
+Update the
+[volume mounts](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/configuration/advanced-configuration.html#volumes-in-the-runnersdocker-section)
+to include the file.
+
+```toml
+[[runners]]
+ ...
+ executor = "docker"
+ [runners.docker]
+ ...
+ privileged = true
+ volumes = ["/opt/.docker/config.json:/root/.docker/config.json:ro"]
+```
+
+### Kubernetes
+
+Create a [ConfigMap](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/configmap/) with the content
+of this file. You can do this with a command like:
+
+```shell
+kubectl create configmap docker-client-config --namespace gitlab-runner --from-file /opt/.docker/config.json
+```
+
+Update the [volume mounts](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/kubernetes.html#using-volumes)
+to include the file.
+
+```toml
+[[runners]]
+ ...
+ executor = "kubernetes"
+ [runners.kubernetes]
+ image = "alpine:3.12"
+ privileged = true
+ [[runners.kubernetes.volumes.config_map]]
+ name = "docker-client-config"
+ mount_path = "/root/.docker/config.json"
+ # If you are running GitLab Runner 13.5
+ # or lower you can remove this
+ sub_path = "config.json"
+```
+
+## Option 3: Use `DOCKER_AUTH_CONFIG`
+
+If you already have
+[`DOCKER_AUTH_CONFIG`](using_docker_images.md#determine-your-docker_auth_config-data)
+defined, you can use the variable and save it in
+`~/.docker/config.json`.
+
+You can define this authentication in several ways:
+
+- In [`pre_build_script`](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/configuration/advanced-configuration.html#the-runners-section)
+ in the runner configuration file.
+- In [`before_script`](../yaml/index.md#before_script).
+- In [`script`](../yaml/index.md#script).
+
+The following example shows [`before_script`](../yaml/index.md#before_script).
+The same commands apply for any solution you implement.
+
+```yaml
+image: docker:20.10.16
+
+variables:
+ DOCKER_TLS_CERTDIR: "/certs"
+
+services:
+ - docker:20.10.16-dind
+
+build:
+ stage: build
+ before_script:
+ - mkdir -p $HOME/.docker
+ - echo $DOCKER_AUTH_CONFIG > $HOME/.docker/config.json
+ script:
+ - docker build -t my-docker-image .
+ - docker run my-docker-image /script/to/run/tests

+
+# Make Docker-in-Docker builds faster with Docker layer caching
+
+When using Docker-in-Docker, Docker downloads all layers of your image every
+time you create a build. Recent versions of Docker (Docker 1.13 and later) can
+use a pre-existing image as a cache during the `docker build` step. This significantly
+accelerates the build process.
+
+## How Docker caching works
+
+When running `docker build`, each command in `Dockerfile` creates a layer.
+These layers are retained as a cache and can be reused if there have been no changes. Change in one layer causes the recreation of all subsequent layers.
+
+To specify a tagged image to be used as a cache source for the `docker build`
+command, use the `--cache-from` argument. Multiple images can be specified
+as a cache source by using multiple `--cache-from` arguments. Any image that's used
+with the `--cache-from` argument must be pulled
+(using `docker pull`) before it can be used as a cache source.
+
+## Docker caching example
+
+This example `.gitlab-ci.yml` file shows how to use Docker caching:
+
+```yaml
+image: docker:20.10.16
+
+services:
+ - docker:20.10.16-dind
+
+variables:
+ # Use TLS https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/docker/using_docker_build.html#tls-enabled
+ DOCKER_HOST: tcp://docker:2376
+ DOCKER_TLS_CERTDIR: "/certs"
+
+before_script:
+ - docker login -u $CI_REGISTRY_USER -p $CI_REGISTRY_PASSWORD $CI_REGISTRY
+
+build:
+ stage: build
+ script:
+ - docker pull $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:latest || true
+ - docker build --cache-from $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:latest --tag $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:$CI_COMMIT_SHA --tag $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:latest .
+ - docker push $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:$CI_COMMIT_SHA
+ - docker push $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:latest
+```
+
+In the `script` section for the `build` stage:
+
+1. The first command tries to pull the image from the registry so that it can be
+ used as a cache for the `docker build` command.
+1. The second command builds a Docker image by using the pulled image as a
+ cache (see the `--cache-from $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:latest` argument) if
+ available, and tags it.
+1. The last two commands push the tagged Docker images to the container registry
+ so that they can also be used as cache for subsequent builds.

## Make Docker-in-Docker builds faster with Docker layer caching
-When using Docker-in-Docker, Docker downloads all layers of your image every
-time you create a build. Recent versions of Docker (Docker 1.13 and later) can
-use a pre-existing image as a cache during the `docker build` step. This considerably
-speeds up the build process.
-
-### How Docker caching works
-
-When running `docker build`, each command in `Dockerfile` results in a layer.
-These layers are kept around as a cache and can be reused if there haven't been
-any changes. Change in one layer causes all subsequent layers to be recreated.
-
-You can specify a tagged image to be used as a cache source for the `docker build`
-command by using the `--cache-from` argument. Multiple images can be specified
-as a cache source by using multiple `--cache-from` arguments. Any image that's used
-with the `--cache-from` argument must first be pulled
-(using `docker pull`) before it can be used as a cache source.
-
-### Docker caching example
-
-Here's a `.gitlab-ci.yml` file that shows how to use Docker caching:
-
-```yaml
-image: docker:20.10.16
-
-services:
- - docker:20.10.16-dind
-
-variables:
- # Use TLS https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/docker/using_docker_build.html#tls-enabled
- DOCKER_HOST: tcp://docker:2376
- DOCKER_TLS_CERTDIR: "/certs"
-
-before_script:
- - docker login -u $CI_REGISTRY_USER -p $CI_REGISTRY_PASSWORD $CI_REGISTRY
-
-build:
- stage: build
- script:
- - docker pull $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:latest || true
- - docker build --cache-from $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:latest --tag $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:$CI_COMMIT_SHA --tag $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:latest .
- - docker push $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:$CI_COMMIT_SHA
- - docker push $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:latest
-```
-
-In the `script` section for the `build` stage:
-
-1. The first command tries to pull the image from the registry so that it can be
- used as a cache for the `docker build` command.
-1. The second command builds a Docker image by using the pulled image as a
- cache (see the `--cache-from $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:latest` argument) if
- available, and tags it.
-1. The last two commands push the tagged Docker images to the container registry
- so that they may also be used as cache for subsequent builds.
+When using Docker-in-Docker, Docker downloads all layers of your image every time you create a build. You can [make your builds faster with Docker layer caching](docker_layer_caching.md).
## Use the OverlayFS driver
NOTE:
The shared runners on GitLab.com use the `overlay2` driver by default.
-By default, when using `docker:dind`, Docker uses the `vfs` storage driver which
-copies the file system on every run. This is a disk-intensive operation
-which can be avoided if a different driver is used, for example `overlay2`.

+# Job artifacts **(FREE)**
+
+Jobs can output an archive of files and directories. This output is known as a job artifact.
+
+You can download job artifacts by using the GitLab UI or the [API](../../api/job_artifacts.md#get-job-artifacts).
+
+<i class="fa fa-youtube-play youtube" aria-hidden="true"></i>
+For an overview of job artifacts, watch the video [GitLab CI pipelines, artifacts, and environments](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCKDICEe10s).
+Or, for an introduction, watch [GitLab CI pipeline tutorial for beginners](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jav4vbUrqII).
+
+For administrator information about job artifact storage, see [administering job artifacts](../../administration/job_artifacts.md).
+
+## Create job artifacts
+
+To create job artifacts, use the [`artifacts`](../yaml/index.md#artifacts) keyword in your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+pdf:
+ script: xelatex mycv.tex
+ artifacts:
+ paths:
+ - mycv.pdf
+```
+
+In this example, a job named `pdf` calls the `xelatex` command to build a PDF file from the
+LaTeX source file, `mycv.tex`.
+
+The [`paths`](../yaml/index.md#artifactspaths) keyword determines which files to add to the job artifacts.
+All paths to files and directories are relative to the repository where the job was created.
+
+### With wildcards
+
+You can use wildcards for paths and directories. For example, to create an artifact
+with all the files inside the directories that end with `xyz`:
+
+```yaml
+job:
+ script: echo "build xyz project"
+ artifacts:
+ paths:
+ - path/*xyz/*
+```
+
+### With an expiry
+
+The [`expire_in`](../yaml/index.md#artifactsexpire_in) keyword determines how long
+GitLab keeps the job artifacts. For example:
+
+```yaml
+pdf:
+ script: xelatex mycv.tex
+ artifacts:
+ paths:
+ - mycv.pdf
+ expire_in: 1 week
+```
+
+If `expire_in` is not defined, the [instance-wide setting](../../user/admin_area/settings/continuous_integration.md#default-artifacts-expiration)
+is used.
+
+To prevent artifacts from expiring, you can select **Keep** from the job details page.
+The option is not available when an artifact has no expiry set.
+
+### With a dynamically defined name
+
+You can use [CI/CD variables](../variables/index.md) to dynamically define the
+artifacts file's name.
+
+For example, to create an archive with a name of the current job:
+
+```yaml
+job:
+ artifacts:
+ name: "$CI_JOB_NAME"
+ paths:
+ - binaries/
+```
+
+To create an archive with a name of the current branch or tag including only
+the binaries directory:
+
+```yaml
+job:
+ artifacts:
+ name: "$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME"
+ paths:
+ - binaries/
+```
+
+If your branch-name contains forward slashes
+(for example `feature/my-feature`) use `$CI_COMMIT_REF_SLUG`
+instead of `$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME` for proper naming of the artifact.
+
+### With a Windows runner or shell executor
+
+If you use Windows Batch to run your shell scripts you must replace `$` with `%`:
+
+```yaml
+job:
+ artifacts:
+ name: "%CI_JOB_STAGE%-%CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME%"
+ paths:
+ - binaries/
+```
+
+If you use Windows PowerShell to run your shell scripts you must replace `$` with `$env:`:
+
+```yaml
+job:
+ artifacts:
+ name: "$env:CI_JOB_STAGE-$env:CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME"
+ paths:
+ - binaries/
+```
+
+### Without excluded files
+
+Use [`artifacts:exclude`](../yaml/index.md#artifactsexclude) to prevent files from
+being added to an artifacts archive.
+
+For example, to store all files in `binaries/`, but not `*.o` files located in
+subdirectories of `binaries/`.
+
+```yaml
+artifacts:
+ paths:
+ - binaries/
+ exclude:
+ - binaries/**/*.o
+```
+
+Unlike [`artifacts:paths`](../yaml/index.md#artifactspaths), `exclude` paths are not recursive.
+To exclude all of the contents of a directory, match them explicitly rather
+than matching the directory itself.
+
+For example, to store all files in `binaries/` but nothing located in the `temp/` subdirectory:
+
+```yaml
+artifacts:
+ paths:
+ - binaries/
+ exclude:
+ - binaries/temp/**/*
+```
+
+### With untracked files
+
+Use [`artifacts:untracked`](../yaml/index.md#artifactsuntracked) to add all Git untracked
+files as artifacts (along with the paths defined in [`artifacts:paths`](../yaml/index.md#artifactspaths)). Untracked
+files are those that haven't been added to the repository but exist in the repository checkout.
+
+For example, to save all Git untracked files and files in `binaries`:
+
+```yaml
+artifacts:
+ untracked: true
+ paths:
+ - binaries/
+```
+
+For example, to save all untracked files but [exclude](../yaml/index.md#artifactsexclude) `*.txt` files:
+
+```yaml
+artifacts:
+ untracked: true
+ exclude:
+ - "*.txt"
+```
+
+## Prevent a job from fetching artifacts
+
+Jobs downloads all artifacts from the completed jobs in previous stages by default.
+To prevent a job from downloading any artifacts, set [`dependencies`](../yaml/index.md#dependencies)
+to an empty array (`[]`):
+
+```yaml
+job:
+ stage: test
+ script: make build
+ dependencies: []
+```

+
+You can view all artifacts stored in a project from the **CI/CD > Artifacts** page.
+This list displays all jobs and their associated artifacts. Expand an entry to access
+all artifacts associated with a job, including:
+
+- Artifacts created with the `artifacts:` keyword.
+- [Report artifacts](../yaml/artifacts_reports.md).
+- Job logs and metadata, which are stored internally as separate artifacts.
+
+You can download or delete individual artifacts from this list.
+
+## Download job artifacts
+
+You can download job artifacts from:
+
+- Any **Pipelines** list. On the right of the pipeline, select **Download artifacts** (**{download}**).
+- Any **Jobs** list. On the right of the job, select **Download artifacts** (**{download}**).
+- A job's detail page. On the right of the page, select **Download**.
+- A merge request **Overview** page. On the right of the latest pipeline, select **Artifacts** (**{download}**).
+- The [**Artifacts**](#view-all-job-artifacts-in-a-project) page. On the right of the job, select **Download** (**{download}**).
+- The [artifacts browser](#browse-the-contents-of-the-artifacts-archive). On the top of the page,
+ select **Download artifacts archive** (**{download}**).
+
+[Report artifacts](../yaml/artifacts_reports.md) can only be downloaded from the **Pipelines** list
+or **Artifacts** page.
+
+You can download job artifacts from the latest successful pipeline by using [the job artifacts API](../../api/job_artifacts.md).
+You cannot download [artifact reports](../yaml/artifacts_reports.md) with the job artifacts API,
+unless the report is added as a regular artifact with `artifacts:paths`.
+
+### From a URL
+
+You can download the artifacts archive for a specific job with a publicly accessible
+URL for the [job artifacts API](../../api/job_artifacts.md#download-the-artifacts-archive).
+
+For example, to download the latest artifacts of a job named `build` in the `main` branch of a project on GitLab.com:
+
+```plaintext
+https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/<project-id>/jobs/artifacts/main/download?job=build
+```
+
+For example, to download the file `review/index.html` from the latest job named `build` in the `main` branch of a project on GitLab.com:
+
+```plaintext
+https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/<project-id>/jobs/artifacts/main/raw/review/index.html?job=build
+```
+
+In both examples, replace `<project-id>` with a valid project ID, found at the top of the project details page.
+
+Artifacts for [parent and child pipelines](../pipelines/downstream_pipelines.md#parent-child-pipelines)
+are searched in hierarchical order from parent to child. For example, if both parent and
+child pipelines have a job with the same name, the job artifacts from the parent pipeline are returned.
+
+## Browse the contents of the artifacts archive
+
+You can browse the contents of the artifacts from the UI without downloading the artifact locally,
+from:
+
+- Any **Jobs** list. On the right of the job, select **Browse** (**{folder-open}**).
+- A job's detail page. On the right of the page, select **Browse**.
+- The **Artifacts** page. On the right of the job, select **Browse** (**{folder-open}**).
+
+If [GitLab Pages](../../administration/pages/index.md) is enabled in the project, you can preview
+HTML files in the artifacts directly in your browser. If the project is internal or private, you must
+enable [GitLab Pages access control](../../administration/pages/index.md#access-control) to preview
+HTML files.
+
+### From a URL
+
+You can browse the job artifacts of the latest successful pipeline for a specific job
+with a publicly accessible URL.
+
+For example, to browse the latest artifacts of a job named `build` in the `main` branch of a project on GitLab.com:
+
+```plaintext
+https://gitlab.com/<full-project-path>/-/jobs/artifacts/main/browse?job=build
+```
+
+Replace `<full-project-path>` with a valid project path, you can find it in the URL for your project.
+
+## Delete job log and artifacts
+
+WARNING:
+Deleting the job log and artifacts is a destructive action that cannot be reverted. Use with caution.
+Deleting certain files, including report artifacts, job logs, and metadata files, affects
+GitLab features that use these files as data sources.
+
+You can delete a job's artifacts and log.
+
+Prerequisites:
+
+- You must be the owner of the job or a user with at least the Maintainer role for the project.
+
+To delete a job:
+
+1. Go to a job's detail page.
+1. In the upper-right corner of the job's log, select **Erase job log and artifacts** (**{remove}**).
+
+You can also delete individual artifacts from the [**Artifacts** page](#bulk-delete-artifacts).
+
+### Bulk delete artifacts
+
+- [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/33348) in GitLab 15.10 [with a flag](../../administration/feature_flags.md) named `ci_job_artifact_bulk_destroy`. Disabled by default.
+
+FLAG:
+On self-managed GitLab, by default this feature is not available. To make it available,
+ask an administrator to [enable the feature flag](../../administration/feature_flags.md) named `ci_job_artifact_bulk_destroy`.
+The feature is not ready for production use.
+
+You can delete multiple artifacts at the same time:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **CI/CD > Artifacts**.
+1. Select the checkboxes next to the artifacts you want to delete. You can select up to 50 artifacts.
+1. Select **Delete selected**.
+
+## Link to job artifacts in the merge request UI
+
+Use the [`artifacts:expose_as`](../yaml/index.md#artifactsexpose_as) keyword to display
+a link to job artifacts in the [merge request](../../user/project/merge_requests/index.md) UI.
+
+For example, for an artifact with a single file:
+
+```yaml
+test:
+ script: ["echo 'test' > file.txt"]
+ artifacts:
+ expose_as: 'artifact 1'
+ paths: ['file.txt']
+```
+
+With this configuration, GitLab adds **artifact 1** as a link to `file.txt` to the
+**View exposed artifact** section of the relevant merge request.
+
+## Keep artifacts from most recent successful jobs
+
+> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/16267) in GitLab 13.0.
+> - [Feature flag removed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/229936) in GitLab 13.4.
+> - [Made optional with a CI/CD setting](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/241026) in GitLab 13.8.
+
+By default artifacts are always kept for successful pipelines for the most recent commit on
+each ref. This means that the latest artifacts do not immediately expire according
+to the `expire_in` specification.
+
+If a pipeline for a new commit on the same ref completes successfully, the previous pipeline's
+artifacts are deleted according to the `expire_in` configuration. The artifacts
+of the new pipeline are kept automatically. If multiple pipelines run for the most
+recent commit on the ref, all artifacts are kept.
+
+Keeping the latest artifacts can use a large amount of storage space in projects
+with a lot of jobs or large artifacts. If the latest artifacts are not needed in
+a project, you can disable this behavior to save space:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > CI/CD**.
+1. Expand **Artifacts**.
+1. Clear the **Keep artifacts from most recent successful jobs** checkbox.
+
+You can disable this behavior for all projects on a self-managed instance in the
+[instance's CI/CD settings](../../user/admin_area/settings/continuous_integration.md#keep-the-latest-artifacts-for-all-jobs-in-the-latest-successful-pipelines).
+
+When **Keep artifacts from most recent successful jobs** is enabled, artifacts are always kept for [blocked](job_control.md#types-of-manual-jobs)
+pipelines. These artifacts expire only after the blocking job is triggered and the pipeline completes.
+[Issue 387087](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/387087) proposes to change this behavior.

+By default, jobs fetch all artifacts from previous stages, but jobs using `dependencies`
+or `needs` do not fetch artifacts from all jobs by default.
+
+If you use these keywords, artifacts are fetched from only a subset of jobs. Review
+the keyword reference for information on how to fetch artifacts with these keywords:
+
+- [`dependencies`](../yaml/index.md#dependencies)
+- [`needs`](../yaml/index.md#needs)
+- [`needs:artifacts`](../yaml/index.md#needsartifacts)
+
+## Job artifacts use too much disk space
+
+If job artifacts are using too much disk space, see the
+[job artifacts administration documentation](../../administration/job_artifacts.md#job-artifacts-using-too-much-disk-space).
+
+## Error message `No files to upload`
+
+This message appears in job logs when a the runner can't find the file to upload. Either
+the path to the file is incorrect, or the file was not created. You can check the job
+log for other errors or warnings that specify the filename and why it wasn't
+generated.
+
+For more detailed job logs, you can [enable CI/CD debug logging](../variables/index.md#enable-debug-logging)
+and try the job again. This logging might provide more information about why the file
+wasn't created.
+
+## Error message `Missing /usr/bin/gitlab-runner-helper. Uploading artifacts is disabled.`
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-runner/-/issues/3068) in GitLab 15.2, GitLab Runner uses `RUNNER_DEBUG` instead of `DEBUG`, fixing this issue.
+
+In GitLab 15.1 and earlier, setting a CI/CD variable named `DEBUG` can cause artifact uploads to fail.
+
+To work around this, you can:
+
+- Update to GitLab and GitLab Runner 15.2
+- Use a different variable name
+- Set it as an environment variable in a `script` command:
+
+ ```yaml
+ failing_test_job: # This job might fail due to issue gitlab-org/gitlab-runner#3068
+ variables:
+ DEBUG: true
+ script: bin/mycommand
+ artifacts:
+ paths:
+ - bin/results
+
+ successful_test_job: # This job does not define a CI/CD variable named `DEBUG` and is not affected by the issue
+ script: DEBUG=true bin/mycommand
+ artifacts:
+ paths:
+ - bin/results
+ ```
+
+## Error message `FATAL: invalid argument` when uploading a dotenv artifact on a Windows runner
+
+The PowerShell `echo` command writes files with UCS-2 LE BOM (Byte Order Mark) encoding,
+but only UTF-8 is supported. If you try to create a [`dotenv`](../yaml/artifacts_reports.md)
+artifact with `echo`, it causes a `FATAL: invalid argument` error.
+
+Use PowerShell `Add-Content` instead, which uses UTF-8:
+
+```yaml
+test-job:
+ stage: test
+ tags:
+ - windows
+ script:
+ - echo "test job"
+ - Add-Content -Path build.env -Value "MY_ENV_VAR=true"
+ artifacts:
+ reports:
+ dotenv: build.env
+```
+
+## Job artifacts do not expire
+
+If some job artifacts are not expiring as expected, check if the
+[**Keep artifacts from most recent successful jobs**](job_artifacts.md#keep-artifacts-from-most-recent-successful-jobs)
+setting is enabled.
+
+When this setting is enabled, job artifacts from the latest successful pipeline
+of each ref do not expire and are not deleted.
+
+## Error message `This job could not start because it could not retrieve the needed artifacts.`
+
+A job configured with the [`needs:artifacts`](../yaml/index.md#needsartifacts) keyword
+fails to start and returns this error message if:
+
+- The job's dependencies cannot be found.
+- The job cannot access the relevant resources due to insufficient permissions.
+
+The troubleshooting steps to follow differ based on the syntax the job uses:
+
+- [`needs:project`](#for-a-job-configured-with-needsproject)
+- [`needs:pipeline:job`](#for-a-job-configured-with-needspipelinejob)
+
+### For a job configured with `needs:project`
+
+The `could not retrieve the needed artifacts.` error can happen for a job using
+[`needs:project`](../yaml/index.md#needsproject) with a configuration similar to:
+
+```yaml

+
+- Project `my-group/my-project` is in a group with a Premium subscription plan.
+- The user running the job can access resources in `my-group/my-project`.
+- The `project`, `job`, and `ref` combination exists and results in the desired dependency.
+- Any variables in use evaluate to the correct values.
+
+### For a job configured with `needs:pipeline:job`
+
+The `could not retrieve the needed artifacts.` error can happen for a job using

+
+### iOS build environments
+
+GitLab SaaS runners on macOS are currently available in beta. Follow the [instructions to request access](../ci/runners/saas/macos_saas_runner.md#access-request-process)
+for your project.
+
+After you are granted access to the beta macOS runners, [choose an image](../ci/runners/saas/macos/environment.md#available-images)
+and add it to your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file.
+
+For example:
+
+```yaml
+test:
+ image: macos-12-xcode-14
+ stage: test
+ script:
+ - fastlane test
+ tags:
+ - saas-macos-medium-m1
+```
+
+## Code signing
+
+All Android and iOS apps must be securely signed before being distributed through
+the various app stores. Signing ensures that applications haven't been tampered with
+before reaching a user's device.
+
+With [project-level secure files](secure_files/index.md), you can store the following
+in GitLab, so that they can be used to securely sign apps in CI/CD builds:
+
+- Keystores
+- Provision profiles
+- Signing certificates
+
+<i class="fa fa-youtube-play youtube" aria-hidden="true"></i>
+For an overview, see [Project-level secure files demo](https://youtu.be/O7FbJu3H2YM).
+
+### Code signing Android projects with fastlane & Gradle
+
+To set up code signing for Android:
+
+1. Upload your keystore and keystore properties files to project-level secure files.
+1. Update the Gradle configuration to use those files in the build.
+
+<i class="fa fa-youtube-play youtube" aria-hidden="true"></i>
+For an overview, see [How to build and release an Android app to Google Play with GitLab](https://youtu.be/u8yC8W2k85U).
+
+#### Create a keystore
+
+Run the following command to generate a keystore file if you don't already have one:
+
+```shell
+keytool -genkey -v -keystore release-keystore.jks -storepass password -alias release -keypass password -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000
+```
+
+Next, put the keystore configuration in a file called `release-keystore.properties`,
+which should look similar to this example:
+
+```plaintext
+storeFile=.secure_files/release-keystore.jks
+keyAlias=release
+keyPassword=password
+storePassword=password
+```
+
+After these files are created:
+
+- [Upload them as Secure Files](secure_files/index.md) in the GitLab project
+ so they can be used in CI/CD jobs.
+- Add both files to your `.gitignore` file so they aren't committed to version control.
+
+#### Configure Gradle
+
+The next step is to configure Gradle to use the newly created keystore. In the app's `build.gradle` file:
+
+1. Immediately after the plugins section, add:
+
+ ```gradle
+ def keystoreProperties = new Properties()
+ def keystorePropertiesFile = rootProject.file('.secure_files/release-keystore.properties')
+ if (keystorePropertiesFile.exists()) {
+ keystoreProperties.load(new FileInputStream(keystorePropertiesFile))
+ }
+ ```
+
+1. Anywhere within the `android` block, add:
+
+ ```gradle
+ signingConfigs {
+ release {
+ keyAlias keystoreProperties['keyAlias']
+ keyPassword keystoreProperties['keyPassword']
+ storeFile keystoreProperties['storeFile'] ? file(keystoreProperties['storeFile']) : null
+ storePassword keystoreProperties['storePassword']
+ }
+ }
+ ```
+
+1. Add the `signingConfig` to the release build type:
+
+ ```gradle
+ signingConfig signingConfigs.release
+ ```
+
+With this configuration in place, you can use fastlane to build & sign the app
+with the files stored in secure files.
+
+For example:
+
+- Sample `fastlane/Fastfile` file:
+
+ ```ruby
+ default_platform(:android)
+
+ platform :android do
+ desc "Create and sign a new build"
+ lane :build do
+ gradle(tasks: ["clean", "assembleRelease", "bundleRelease"])
+ end
+ end
+ ```
+
+- Sample `.gitlab-ci.yml` file:
+
+ ```yaml
+ build:
+ image: fabernovel/android:api-33-v1.7.0
+ stage: build
+ script:
+ - apt update -y && apt install -y curl
+ - curl --silent "https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/incubation-engineering/mobile-devops/download-secure-files/-/raw/main/installer" | bash
+ - fastlane build
+ ```
+
+### Code sign iOS projects with fastlane
+
+To set up code signing for iOS, you must:
+
+1. Install fastlane locally so you can upload your signing certificates to GitLab.
+1. Configure the build to use those files.
+
+<i class="fa fa-youtube-play youtube" aria-hidden="true"></i>
+For an overview, see [How to build and release an iOS app to Test Flight with GitLab](https://youtu.be/Ar8IsBgP1as).
+
+#### Initialize fastlane
+
+With fastlane installed, start by running:
+
+```shell
+fastlane init
+```
+
+This command creates a `fastlane` folder in the project with an `Appfile` and a stubbed-out `fastfile`.
+This process asks you for login credentials to App Store Connect
+to generate an app identifier and App Store app if they don't already exist.
+
+The next step sets up fastlane match to manage code signing files for the project.
+Run the following command to generate a `Matchfile` with the configuration:
+
+```shell
+fastlane match init
+```
+
+This command prompts you to:
+
+- Choose which storage backend you want to use, you must select `gitlab_secure_files`.
+- Input your project path, for example `gitlab-org/gitlab`.
+
+#### Generate and upload certificates
+
+Run the following command to generate certificates and profiles in the Apple Developer portal
+and upload those files to GitLab:
+
+```shell
+PRIVATE_TOKEN=YOUR-TOKEN bundle exec fastlane match development
+```
+
+In this example:
+
+- `YOUR-TOKEN` must be either a personal or project access token with Maintainer role for the GitLab project.
+- Replace `development` with the type of build you want to sign, for example `appstore` or `ad-hoc`.
+
+You can view the files in your project's CI/CD settings as soon as the command completes.
+
+#### Upload-only
+
+If you have already created signing certificates and provisioning profiles for your project,
+you can optionally use `fastlane match import` to load your existing files into GitLab:
+
+```shell
+PRIVATE_TOKEN=YOUR-TOKEN bundle exec fastlane match import
+```
+
+You are prompted to input the path to your files. After you provide those details,
+your files are uploaded and visible in your project's CI/CD settings.
+If prompted for the `git_url` during the import, it is safe to leave it blank and press <kbd>enter</kbd>.
+
+With this configuration in place, you can use fastlane to build and sign the app with
+the files stored in secure files.
+
+For example:
+
+- Sample `fastlane/Fastfile` file:
+
+ ```ruby
+ default_platform(:ios)
+
+ platform :ios do
+ desc "Build and sign the application for development"
+ lane :build do
+ setup_ci
+
+ match(type: 'development', readonly: is_ci)
+
+ build_app(
+ project: "ios demo.xcodeproj",
+ scheme: "ios demo",
+ configuration: "Debug",
+ export_method: "development"
+ )
+ end
+ end
+ ```
+
+- Sample `.gitlab-ci.yml` file:
+
+ ```yaml
+ build_ios:
+ image: macos-12-xcode-14
+ stage: build
+ script:
+ - fastlane build
+ tags:
+ - shared-macos-amd64
+ ```
+
+## Distribution
+
+Signed builds can be uploaded to the Google Play Store or Apple App Store by using
+the Mobile DevOps Distribution integrations.
+
+### Android distribution with Google Play integration and fastlane

+
+With the integration enabled, you can use fastlane to distribute a build to Google Play.
+
+For example:
+
+- Sample `fastlane/Fastfile`:
+
+ ```ruby
+ default_platform(:android)
+
+ platform :android do
+ desc "Submit a new Beta build to the Google Play store"
+ lane :beta do
+ upload_to_play_store(
+ track: 'internal',
+ aab: 'app/build/outputs/bundle/release/app-release.aab',
+ release_status: 'draft'
+ )
+ end
+ end
+ ```
+
+- Sample `.gitlab-ci.yml`:
+
+ ```yaml
+ beta:

+ stage: beta
+ script:
+ - fastlane beta
+ ```
+
+### iOS distribution Apple Store integration and fastlane
+
+To create an iOS distribution with the Apple Store integration and fastlane, you must:
+
+1. Generate an API Key for App Store Connect API. In the Apple App Store Connect portal,
+ [generate a new private key for your project](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreconnectapi/creating_api_keys_for_app_store_connect_api).
+1. [Enable the Apple App Store integration](#enable-apple-app-store-integration).
+1. Add the release step to your pipeline and fastlane configuration.
+
+<i class="fa fa-youtube-play youtube" aria-hidden="true"></i>
+For an overview, see [Apple App Store integration demo](https://youtu.be/CwzAWVgJeK8).
+
+#### Enable Apple App Store Integration
+
+Use the [Apple App Store integration](../user/project/integrations/apple_app_store.md)
+to configure your CI/CD pipelines to connect to [App Store Connect](https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/)
+to build and release apps for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS. To enable the integration:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > Integrations**.
+1. Select **Apple App Store**.
+1. Turn on the **Active** toggle under **Enable Integration**.
+1. Provide the Apple App Store Connect configuration information:
+ - **Issuer ID**: You can find the Apple App Store Connect Issuer ID in the **Keys** section under **Users and Access** in the Apple App Store Connect portal.
+ - **Key ID**: The key ID of the new private key that was just generated.
+ - **Private Key**: The private key that was just generated. You can only download this key one time.
+1. Select **Save changes**.
+
+With the integration enabled, you can use fastlane to distribute a build to TestFlight
+and the Apple App Store.
+
+For example:
+
+- Sample `fastlane/Fastfile`:
+
+ ```ruby
+ default_platform(:ios)
+
+ platform :ios do
+ desc "Build and sign the application for distribution, upload to TestFlight"
+ lane :beta do
+ setup_ci
+
+ match(type: 'appstore', readonly: is_ci)
+
+ app_store_connect_api_key
+
+ increment_build_number(
+ build_number: latest_testflight_build_number(initial_build_number: 1) + 1,
+ xcodeproj: "ios demo.xcodeproj"
+ )
+
+ build_app(
+ project: "ios demo.xcodeproj",
+ scheme: "ios demo",

-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/16675) in GitLab 12.4, artifacts in internal and private projects can be previewed when [GitLab Pages access control](../../administration/pages/index.md#access-control) is enabled.
-
-Jobs can output an archive of files and directories. This output is known as a job artifact.
-
-You can download job artifacts by using the GitLab UI or the [API](../../api/job_artifacts.md#get-job-artifacts).
-
-<i class="fa fa-youtube-play youtube" aria-hidden="true"></i>
-For an overview of job artifacts, watch the video [GitLab CI pipelines, artifacts, and environments](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCKDICEe10s).
-Or, for an introduction, watch [GitLab CI pipeline tutorial for beginners](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jav4vbUrqII).
-
-For administrator information about job artifact storage, see [administering job artifacts](../../administration/job_artifacts.md).
-
-## Create job artifacts
-
-To create job artifacts, use the `artifacts` keyword in your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file:
-
-```yaml
-pdf:
- script: xelatex mycv.tex
- artifacts:
- paths:
- - mycv.pdf
- expire_in: 1 week
-```
-
-In this example, a job named `pdf` calls the `xelatex` command to build a PDF file from the
-LaTeX source file, `mycv.tex`.
-
-The `paths` keyword determines which files to add to the job artifacts.
-All paths to files and directories are relative to the repository where the job was created.
-
-The `expire_in` keyword determines how long GitLab keeps the job artifacts.
-You can also [use the UI to keep job artifacts from expiring](#download-job-artifacts).
-If `expire_in` is not defined, the
-[instance-wide setting](../../user/admin_area/settings/continuous_integration.md#default-artifacts-expiration)
-is used.
-
-If you run two types of pipelines (like branch and scheduled) for the same ref,
-the pipeline that finishes later creates the job artifact.
-
-To disable artifact passing, define the job with empty [dependencies](../yaml/index.md#dependencies):
-
-```yaml
-job:
- stage: build
- script: make build
- dependencies: []
-```
-
-You may want to create artifacts only for tagged releases to avoid filling the
-build server storage with temporary build artifacts. For example, use [`rules`](../yaml/index.md#rules)
-to create artifacts only for tags:
-
-```yaml
-default-job:
- script:
- - mvn test -U
- rules:
- - if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH
-
-release-job:
- script:
- - mvn package -U
- artifacts:
- paths:
- - target/*.war
- rules:
- - if: $CI_COMMIT_TAG
-```
-
-You can use wildcards for directories too. For example, if you want to get all the
-files inside the directories that end with `xyz`:
-
-```yaml
-job:
- artifacts:
- paths:
- - path/*xyz/*
-```
-
-### Use CI/CD variables to define the artifacts name
-
-You can use [CI/CD variables](../variables/index.md) to dynamically define the
-artifacts file's name.
-
-For example, to create an archive with a name of the current job:
-
-```yaml
-job:
- artifacts:
- name: "$CI_JOB_NAME"
- paths:
- - binaries/
-```
-
-To create an archive with a name of the current branch or tag including only
-the binaries directory:
-
-```yaml
-job:
- artifacts:
- name: "$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME"
- paths:
- - binaries/
-```
-
-If your branch-name contains forward slashes
-(for example `feature/my-feature`) it's advised to use `$CI_COMMIT_REF_SLUG`
-instead of `$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME` for proper naming of the artifact.
-
-To create an archive with a name of the current job and the current branch or
-tag including only the binaries directory:
-
-```yaml
-job:
- artifacts:
- name: "$CI_JOB_NAME-$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME"
- paths:
- - binaries/
-```
-
-To create an archive with a name of the current [stage](../yaml/index.md#stages) and branch name:
-
-```yaml
-job:
- artifacts:
- name: "$CI_JOB_STAGE-$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME"
- paths:
- - binaries/
-```
-
-If you use **Windows Batch** to run your shell scripts you must replace
-`$` with `%`:
-
-```yaml
-job:
- artifacts:
- name: "%CI_JOB_STAGE%-%CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME%"
- paths:
- - binaries/
-```
-
-If you use **Windows PowerShell** to run your shell scripts you must replace
-`$` with `$env:`:
-
-```yaml
-job:
- artifacts:
- name: "$env:CI_JOB_STAGE-$env:CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME"
- paths:
- - binaries/
-```
-
-### Exclude files from job artifacts
-
-Use [`artifacts:exclude`](../yaml/index.md#artifactsexclude) to prevent files from
-being added to an artifacts archive.
-
-For example, to store all files in `binaries/`, but not `*.o` files located in
-subdirectories of `binaries/`.
-
-```yaml
-artifacts:
- paths:
- - binaries/
- exclude:
- - binaries/**/*.o
-```
-
-Unlike [`artifacts:paths`](../yaml/index.md#artifactspaths), `exclude` paths are not recursive.
-To exclude all of the contents of a directory, match them explicitly rather
-than matching the directory itself.
-
-For example, to store all files in `binaries/` but nothing located in the `temp/` subdirectory:
-
-```yaml
-artifacts:
- paths:
- - binaries/
- exclude:
- - binaries/temp/**/*
-```
-
-### Add untracked files to artifacts
-
-Use [`artifacts:untracked`](../yaml/index.md#artifactsuntracked) to add all Git untracked
-files as artifacts (along with the paths defined in [`artifacts:paths`](../yaml/index.md#artifactspaths)). Untracked
-files are those that haven't been added to the repository but exist in the repository checkout.
-
-Save all Git untracked files and files in `binaries`:
-
-```yaml
-artifacts:
- untracked: true
- paths:
- - binaries/
-```
-
-Save all untracked files but [exclude](../yaml/index.md#artifactsexclude) `*.txt`:
-
-```yaml
-artifacts:
- untracked: true
- exclude:
- - "*.txt"
-```
-
-## Download job artifacts
-
-You can download job artifacts or view the job archive:
-
-- On the **Pipelines** page, to the right of the pipeline:
-
- ![Job artifacts in Pipelines page](img/job_artifacts_pipelines_page_v13_11.png)
-
-- On the **Jobs** page, to the right of the job:
-
- ![Job artifacts in Jobs page](img/job_artifacts_jobs_page_v13_11.png)
-
-- On a job's detail page. The **Keep** button indicates an `expire_in` value was set:
-
- ![Job artifacts browser button](img/job_artifacts_browser_button_v13_11.png)
-
-- On a merge request, by the pipeline details:
-
- ![Job artifacts in merge request](img/job_artifacts_merge_request_v13_11.png)
-
-- When browsing an archive:
-
- ![Job artifacts browser](img/job_artifacts_browser_v13_11.png)
-
- If [GitLab Pages](../../administration/pages/index.md) is enabled in the project, you can preview
- HTML files in the artifacts directly in your browser. If the project is internal or private, you must
- enable [GitLab Pages access control](../../administration/pages/index.md#access-control) to preview
- HTML files.
-
-## View failed job artifacts
-
-If the latest job has failed to upload the artifacts, you can see that
-information in the UI.
-
-![Latest artifacts button](img/job_latest_artifacts_browser.png)
-
-## Delete job artifacts
-
-WARNING:
-This is a destructive action that leads to data loss. Use with caution.
-
-You can delete a single job, which also removes the job's
-artifacts and log. You must be:
-
-- The owner of the job.
-- A user with at least the Maintainer role for the project.
-
-To delete a job:
-
-1. Go to a job's detail page.
-1. In the upper right of the job's log, select **Erase job log** (**{remove}**).
-1. On the confirmation dialog, select **OK**.
-
-## Expose job artifacts in the merge request UI
-
-Use the [`artifacts:expose_as`](../yaml/index.md#artifactsexpose_as) keyword to expose
-[job artifacts](../pipelines/job_artifacts.md) in the [merge request](../../user/project/merge_requests/index.md) UI.
-
-For example, to match a single file:
-
-```yaml
-test:
- script: ["echo 'test' > file.txt"]
- artifacts:
- expose_as: 'artifact 1'
- paths: ['file.txt']
-```
-
-With this configuration, GitLab adds a link **artifact 1** to the relevant merge request
-that points to `file.txt`. To access the link, select **View exposed artifact**
-below the pipeline graph in the merge request overview.
-
-An example that matches an entire directory:
-
-```yaml
-test:
- script: ["mkdir test && echo 'test' > test/file.txt"]
- artifacts:
- expose_as: 'artifact 1'
- paths: ['test/']
-```
-
-## Retrieve job artifacts for other projects
-
-To retrieve a job artifact from a different project, you might need to use a
-private token to [authenticate and download](../../api/job_artifacts.md#get-job-artifacts)
-the artifact.
-
-## How searching for job artifacts works
-
-In [GitLab 13.5 and later](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/201784), artifacts
-for [parent and child pipelines](downstream_pipelines.md#parent-child-pipelines) are searched in hierarchical
-order from parent to child. For example, if both parent and child pipelines have a
-job with the same name, the job artifact from the parent pipeline is returned.
-
-## Access the latest job artifacts
-
-You can download job artifacts from the latest successful pipeline by using [the job artifacts API](../../api/job_artifacts.md).
-You cannot download [artifact reports](../yaml/artifacts_reports.md) with the job artifacts API,
-unless the report is added as a regular artifact with `artifacts:paths`.
-
-### Download the whole artifacts archive for a specific job
-
-You can download the artifacts archive for a specific job with [the job artifacts API](../../api/job_artifacts.md#download-the-artifacts-archive).
-
-For example, to download the latest artifacts of a job named `build` in the `main` branch of a project on GitLab.com:
-
-```plaintext
-https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/<project-id>/jobs/artifacts/main/download?job=build
-```
-
-Replace `<project-id>` with a valid project ID, found at the top of the project details page.
-
-### Download a single file from the artifacts
-
-You can download a specific file from the artifacts archive for a specific job with [the job artifacts API](../../api/job_artifacts.md#download-a-single-artifact-file-by-job-id).
-
-For example, to download the file `review/index.html` from the latest job named `build` in the `main` branch of the `gitlab` project in the `gitlab-org` namespace:
-
-```plaintext
-https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/27456355/jobs/artifacts/main/raw/review/index.html?job=build
-```
-
-### Browse job artifacts
-
-To browse the job artifacts of the latest successful pipeline for a specific job you can use the following URL:
-
-```plaintext
-https://example.com/<namespace>/<project>/-/jobs/artifacts/<ref>/browse?job=<job_name>
-```
-
-For example, to browse the latest artifacts of a job named `build` in the `main` branch of a project on GitLab.com:
-
-```plaintext
-https://gitlab.com/<full-project-path>/-/jobs/artifacts/main/browse?job=build
-```
-
-Replace `<full-project-path>` with a valid project path, you can find it in the URL for your project.
-
-## When job artifacts are deleted
-
-See the [`expire_in`](../yaml/index.md#artifactsexpire_in) documentation for information on when
-job artifacts are deleted.
-
-### Keep artifacts from most recent successful jobs
-
-> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/16267) in GitLab 13.0.
-> - [Feature flag removed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/229936) in GitLab 13.4.
-> - [Made optional with a CI/CD setting](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/241026) in GitLab 13.8.
-
-By default artifacts are always kept for successful pipelines for the most recent commit on
-each ref. This means that the latest artifacts do not immediately expire according
-to the `expire_in` specification.
-
-If a pipeline for a new commit on the same ref completes successfully, the previous pipeline's
-artifacts are deleted according to the `expire_in` configuration. The artifacts
-of the new pipeline are kept automatically. If multiple pipelines run for the most
-recent commit on the ref, all artifacts are kept.
-
-Keeping the latest artifacts can use a large amount of storage space in projects
-with a lot of jobs or large artifacts. If the latest artifacts are not needed in
-a project, you can disable this behavior to save space:
-
-1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
-1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > CI/CD**.
-1. Expand **Artifacts**.
-1. Clear the **Keep artifacts from most recent successful jobs** checkbox.
-
-You can disable this behavior for all projects on a self-managed instance in the
-[instance's CI/CD settings](../../user/admin_area/settings/continuous_integration.md#keep-the-latest-artifacts-for-all-jobs-in-the-latest-successful-pipelines).
-
-When **Keep artifacts from most recent successful jobs** is enabled, artifacts are always kept for [blocked](../jobs/job_control.md#types-of-manual-jobs)
-pipelines. These artifacts expire only after the blocking job is triggered and the pipeline completes.
-For more information, see [issue 387087](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/387087).
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Job does not retrieve certain artifacts
-
-By default, jobs fetch all artifacts from previous stages, but jobs using `dependencies`
-or `needs` do not fetch artifacts from all jobs by default.
-
-If you use these keywords, artifacts are fetched from only a subset of jobs. Review
-the keyword reference for information on how to fetch artifacts with these keywords:
-
-- [`dependencies`](../yaml/index.md#dependencies)
-- [`needs`](../yaml/index.md#needs)
-- [`needs:artifacts`](../yaml/index.md#needsartifacts)
-
-### Job artifacts using too much disk space
-
-There are a number of potential causes for this.
-[Read more in the job artifacts administration documentation](../../administration/job_artifacts.md#job-artifacts-using-too-much-disk-space).
-
-### Error message `No files to upload`
-
-This message is often preceded by other errors or warnings that specify the filename and why it wasn't
-generated. Check the job log for these messages.
-
-If you find no helpful messages, retry the failed job after activating
-[CI/CD debug logging](../variables/index.md#enable-debug-logging).
-This logging should provide information to help you investigate further.
-
-### Error message `Missing /usr/bin/gitlab-runner-helper. Uploading artifacts is disabled.`
-
-There is a [known issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-runner/-/issues/3068) where setting a CI/CD variable named `DEBUG` can cause artifact uploads to fail.
-
-To work around this, either use a different variable name or set it inline with `script`:
-
-```yaml
-# This job might fail due to issue gitlab-org/gitlab-runner#3068
-failing_test_job:
- variables:
- DEBUG: true
- script: bin/mycommand
- artifacts:
- paths:
- - bin/results
-
-# This job does not define a CI/CD variable named `DEBUG` and is not affected by the issue
-successful_test_job:
- script: DEBUG=true bin/mycommand
- artifacts:
- paths:
- - bin/results
-```
-
-### Error message `FATAL: invalid argument` when uploading a dotenv artifact on a windows runner
-
-The PowerShell `echo` command writes files with UCS-2 LE BOM (Byte Order Mark) encoding,
-but only UTF-8 is supported. If you try create the dotenv artifact with `echo`, it causes a
-`FATAL: invalid argument` error.
-
-Use PowerShell `Add-Content` instead, which uses UTF-8:
-
-```yaml
-test-job:
- stage: test
- tags:
- - windows
- script:
- - echo "test job"
- - Add-Content -Path build.env -Value "MY_ENV_VAR=true"
- artifacts:
- reports:
- dotenv: build.env
-```
-
-### Job artifacts are not expired
-
-If some job artifacts are not expiring as expected, check if the
-[**Keep artifacts from most recent successful jobs**](#keep-artifacts-from-most-recent-successful-jobs)
-setting is enabled.
-
-When this setting is enabled, job artifacts from the latest successful pipeline
-of each ref do not expire and are not deleted.
-
-### Error message `This job could not start because it could not retrieve the needed artifacts.`
-
-A job configured with [`needs:artifacts`](../yaml/index.md#needsartifacts) keyword
-fails to start and returns this error message if:
-
-- The job's dependencies cannot be found.
-- The job cannot access the relevant resources due to insufficient permissions.
-
-The troubleshooting steps to follow are determined by the syntax used in the job configuration.
-
-#### Job configured with `needs:project`
-
-The `could not retrieve the needed artifacts.` error can happen for a job using
-[`needs:project`](../yaml/index.md#needsproject), with a configuration similar to:
-
-```yaml
-rspec:
- needs:
- - project: org/another-project
- job: dependency-job
- ref: master
- artifacts: true
-```
-
-To troubleshoot this job, verify that:
-
-- Project `org/another-project` is in a group with a Premium subscription plan.
-- The user running the job has permissions to access resources in `org/another-project`.
-- The `project`, `job`, and `ref` combination exists and results in the desired dependency.
-- Any variables in use evaluate to the correct values.
-
-#### Job configured with `needs:pipeline:job`
-
-The `could not retrieve the needed artifacts.` error can happen for a job using
-[`needs:pipeline:job`](../yaml/index.md#needspipelinejob), with a configuration similar to:
-
-```yaml
-rspec:
- needs:
- - pipeline: $UPSTREAM_PIPELINE_ID
- job: dependency-job
- artifacts: true
-```
-
-To troubleshoot this job, verify that:
-
-- The `$UPSTREAM_PIPELINE_ID` CI/CD variable is available in the current pipeline's
- parent-child pipeline hierarchy.
-- The `pipeline` and `job` combination exists and resolves to an existing pipeline.
-- `dependency-job` has run and finished successfully.

+# Tutorial: Create a complex pipeline
+
+This tutorial walks you through configuring a progressively more complex CI/CD pipeline
+through small, iterative steps. The pipeline is always fully functional,
+but it gains more functionality with each step.
+
+When you finish this tutorial, you will have a new project on GitLab.com and a working documentation site on
+[Docusaurus](https://docusaurus.io/).
+
+To complete this tutorial, you will:
+
+1. Create a project to hold the Docusaurus files
+1. Create the initial pipeline configuration file
+1. Add a job to build the site
+1. Add a job to deploy the site
+1. Add test jobs
+1. Start using merge request pipelines
+1. Reduce duplicated configuration
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- You need an account on GitLab.com.
+- You should be familiar with Git.
+- Node.js must be installed on your local machine. For example, on macOS you can
+ [install node](https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/node) with `brew install node`.
+
+## Create a project to hold the Docusaurus files
+
+Before adding the pipeline configuration, you must first set up a Docusaurus project
+on GitLab.com:
+
+1. Create a new project under your username (not a group):
+ 1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects > View all projects**.
+ 1. On the right of the page, select **New project**.
+ 1. Select **Create blank project**.
+ 1. Enter the project details:
+ - In the **Project name** field, enter the name of your project, for example `My Pipeline Tutorial Project`.
+ - Select **Initialize repository with a README**.
+ 1. Select **Create project**.
+1. On the right of the **Project Overview** page for your project, select **Clone**
+ to find the clone paths for your project. Copy the SSH or HTTP path and use the path
+ to clone the project locally.
+
+ For example, to clone with SSH into a `pipeline-tutorial` directory on your computer:
+
+ ```shell
+ git clone git@gitlab.com:my-username/my-pipeline-tutorial-project.git pipeline-tutorial
+ ```
+
+1. Change to the project's directory, then generate a new Docusaurus site:
+
+ ```shell
+ cd pipeline-tutorial
+ npm init docusaurus
+ ```
+
+ The Docusaurus initialization wizard prompts you with questions about the site.
+ Use all the default options.
+
+1. The initialization wizard sets up the site in `website/`, but the site should be in
+ the root of the project. Move the files up to the root and delete the old directory:
+
+ ```shell
+ mv website/* .
+ rm -r website
+ ```
+
+1. Update the Docusaurus configuration file with the details of your GitLab project.
+ In `docusaurus.config.js`:
+
+ - Set `url:` to a path with this format: `https://<my-username>.gitlab.io/`.
+ - Set `baseUrl:` to your project name, like `/my-pipeline-tutorial-project/`.
+
+1. Commit the changes, and push them to GitLab:
+
+ ```shell
+ git add .
+ git commit -m "Add simple generated Docusaurus site"
+ git push origin
+ ```
+
+## Create the initial CI/CD configuration file
+
+Start with the simplest possible pipeline configuration file to ensure CI/CD is enabled
+in the project and runners are available to run jobs.
+
+This step introduces:
+
+- [Jobs](../jobs/index.md): These are self-contained parts of a pipeline that run your commands.
+ Jobs run on [runners](../runners/index.md), separate from the GitLab instance.
+- [`script`](../yaml/index.md#script): This section of a job's configuration is
+ where you define the commands for jobs. If there are multiple commands (in an array),
+ they run in order. Each command executes as if it was run as a CLI command.
+ By default, if a command fails or returns an error, the job is flagged as failed
+ and no more commands run.
+
+In this step, create a `.gitlab-ci.yml` file in the root of the project with this configuration:
+
+```yaml
+test-job:
+ script:
+ - echo "This is my first job!"
+ - date
+```
+
+Commit and push this change to GitLab, then:
+
+1. Go to **Build > Pipelines** and make sure a pipeline runs in GitLab with this single job.
+1. Select the pipeline, then select the job to view the job's log and see the `This is my first job!` message
+ followed by the date.
+
+Now that you have a `.gitlab-ci.yml` file in your project, you can make all future changes
+to pipeline configuration with the [pipeline editor](../pipeline_editor/index.md).
+
+## Add a job to build the site
+
+A common task for a CI/CD pipeline is to build the code in the project then deploy it.
+Start by adding a job that builds the site.
+
+This step introduces:
+
+- [`image`](../yaml/index.md#image): Tell the runner which Docker
+ container to use to run the job in. The runner:
+ 1. Downloads the container image and starts it.
+ 1. Clones your GitLab project into the running container.
+ 1. Runs the `script` commands, one at a time.
+- [`artifacts`](../yaml/index.md#artifacts): Jobs are self-contained and do not share
+ resources with each other. If you want files generated in one job to be used in
+ another job, you must save them as artifacts first. Then later jobs can retrieve the
+ artifacts and use the generated files.
+
+In this step, replace `test-job` with `build-job`:
+
+- Use `image` to configure the job to run with the latest `node` image. Docusaurus
+ is a Node.js project and the `node` image has the needed `npm` commands built in.
+- Run `npm install` to install Docusaurus into the running `node` container, then run
+ `npm run build` to build the site.
+- Docusaurus saves the built site in `build/`, so save these files with `artifacts`.
+
+```yaml
+build-job:
+ image: node
+ script:
+ - npm install
+ - npm run build
+ artifacts:
+ paths:
+ - "build/"
+```
+
+Use the pipeline editor to commit this pipeline configuration to the default branch,
+and check the job log. You can:
+
+- See the `npm` commands run and build the site.
+- Verify that the artifacts are saved at the end.
+- Browse the contents of the artifacts file by selecting **Browse** to the right of the job log
+ after the job completes.
+
+## Add a job to deploy the site
+
+After verifying the Docusaurus site builds in `build-job`, you can add a job that deploys it.
+
+This step introduces:
+
+- [`stage`](../yaml/index.md#stage) and [`stages`](../yaml/index.md#stage): The most common
+ pipeline configurations group jobs into stages. Jobs in the same stage can run in parallel,
+ while jobs in later stages wait for jobs in earlier stages to complete. If a job fails,
+ the whole stage is considered failed and jobs in later stages do not start running.
+- [GitLab Pages](../../user/project/pages/index.md): To host your static site, you
+ will use GitLab Pages.
+
+In this step:
+
+- Add a job that fetches the built site and deploys it. When using GitLab Pages,
+ the job is always named `pages`. The artifacts from the `build-job` are fetched automatically
+ and extracted into the job. Pages looks for the site in the `public/` directory though,
+ so add a `script` command to move the site to that directory.
+- Add a `stages` section, and define the stages for each job. `build-job` runs first
+ in the `build` stage, and `pages` runs after in the `deploy` stage.
+
+```yaml
+stages: # List of stages for jobs and their order of execution
+ - build
+ - deploy
+
+build-job:
+ stage: build # Set this job to run in the `build` stage
+ image: node
+ script:
+ - npm install
+ - npm run build
+ artifacts:
+ paths:
+ - "build/"
+
+pages:
+ stage: deploy # Set this new job to run in the `deploy` stage
+ script:
+ - mv build/ public/
+ artifacts:
+ paths:
+ - "public/"
+```
+
+Use the pipeline editor to commit this pipeline configuration to the default branch,
+and view the pipeline details from the **Pipelines** list. Verify that:
+
+- The two jobs run in different stages, `build` and `deploy`.
+- After the `pages` job completes a `pages-deploy` job appears, which is the GitLab process
+ that deploys the Pages site. When that job completes, you can visit your new Docusaurus
+ site. The Pages documentation explains [the URL formatting](../../user/project/pages/getting_started_part_one.md#gitlab-pages-default-domain-names),
+ which should be similar to `https://<my-username>.gitlab.io/<my-pipeline-tutorial-project>/`.
+
+## Add test jobs
+
+Now that the site builds and deploys as expected, you can add tests and linting.
+For example, a Ruby project might run RSpec test jobs. Docusaurus is a static site
+that uses Markdown and generated HTML, so this tutorial adds jobs to test the Markdown and HTML.
+
+This step introduces:
+
+- [`allow_failure`](../yaml/index.md#allow_failure): Jobs that fail intermittently,
+ or are expected to fail, can slow down productivity or be difficult to troubleshoot.
+ Use `allow_failure` to let jobs fail without halting pipeline execution.
+- [`dependencies`](../yaml/index.md#dependencies): Use `dependencies` to control
+ artifact downloads in individual jobs by listing which jobs to fetch artifacts from.
+
+In this step:
+
+- Add a new `test` stage that runs between `build` and `deploy`. These three stages
+ are the default stages when `stages` is undefined in the configuration.
+- Add a `lint-markdown` job to run [markdownlint](https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint)
+ and check the Markdown in your project. markdownlint is a static analysis tool that
+ checks that your Markdown files follow formatting standards.
+ - The sample Markdown files Docusaurus generates are in `blog/` and `docs/`.
+ - This tool scans the original Markdown files only, and does not need the generated HTML
+ saved in the `build-job` artifacts. Speed up the job with `dependencies: []`
+ so that it fetches no artifacts.
+ - A few of the sample Markdown files violate default markdownlint rules, so add
+ `allow_failure: true` to let the pipeline continue despite the rule violations.
+- Add a `test-html` job to run [HTMLHint](https://htmlhint.com/) and check the generated HTML.
+ HTMLHint is a static analysis tool that scans generated HTML for known issues.
+- Both `test-html` and `pages` need the generated HTML found in the `build-job` artifacts.
+ Jobs fetch artifacts from all jobs in earlier stages by default, but add `dependencies:`
+ to make sure the jobs don't accidentally download other artifacts after future pipeline changes.
+
+```yaml
+stages:
+ - build
+ - test # Add a `test` stage for the test jobs
+ - deploy
+
+build-job:
+ stage: build
+ image: node
+ script:
+ - npm install
+ - npm run build
+ artifacts:
+ paths:
+ - "build/"
+
+lint-markdown:
+ stage: test
+ image: node
+ dependencies: [] # Don't fetch any artifacts
+ script:
+ - npm install markdownlint-cli2 --global # Install markdownlint into the container
+ - markdownlint-cli2 -v # Verify the version, useful for troubleshooting
+ - markdownlint-cli2 "blog/**/*.md" "docs/**/*.md" # Lint all markdown files in blog/ and docs/
+ allow_failure: true # This job fails right now, but don't let it stop the pipeline.
+
+test-html:
+ stage: test
+ image: node
+ dependencies:
+ - build-job # Only fetch artifacts from `build-job`
+ script:
+ - npm install --save-dev htmlhint # Install HTMLHint into the container
+ - npx htmlhint --version # Verify the version, useful for troubleshooting
+ - npx htmlhint build/ # Lint all markdown files in blog/ and docs/
+
+pages:
+ stage: deploy
+ dependencies:
+ - build-job # Only fetch artifacts from `build-job`
+ script:
+ - mv build/ public/
+ artifacts:
+ paths:
+ - "public/"
+```
+
+Commit this pipeline configuration to the default branch, and view the pipeline details.
+
+- The `test-markdown` job fails because the sample Markdown violates the default
+ markdownlint rules, but is allowed to fail. You can:
+ - Ignore the violations for now. They do not need to be fixed as part of the tutorial.
+ - Fix the Markdown file violations. Then you can change `allow_failure` to `false`,
+ or remove `allow_failure` completely because `allow_failure: false` is the default behavior
+ when not defined.
+ - Add a markdownlint configuration file to limit which rule violations to alert on.
+- You can also make changes to the Markdown file content and see the changes on the site
+ after the next deployment.
+
+## Start using merge request pipelines
+
+With the pipeline configurations above, the site deploys every time a pipeline completes
+successfully, but this is not an ideal development workflow. It's better to work from
+feature branches and merge requests, and only deploy the site when changes merge
+to the default branch.
+
+This step introduces:
+
+- [`rules`](../yaml/index.md#rules): Add rules to each job to configure in which
+ pipelines they run. You can configure jobs to run in [merge request pipelines](../pipelines/merge_request_pipelines.md),
+ [scheduled pipelines](../pipelines/schedules.md), or other specific situations.
+ Rules are evaluated from top to bottom, and if a rule matches, the job is
+ added to the pipeline.
+- [CI/CD variables](../variables/index.md): use these environment variables
+ to configure job behavior in the configuration file and in script commands.
+ [Predefined CI/CD variables](../variables/predefined_variables.md) are variables
+ that you do not need to manually define. They are automatically injected into pipelines
+ so you can use them to configure your pipeline. Variables are usually formatted as `$VARIABLE_NAME`.
+ and predefined variables are usually prefixed with `$CI_`.
+
+In this step:
+
+- Create a new feature branch and make the changes in the branch instead of the default branch.
+- Add `rules` to each job:
+ - The site should only deploy for changes to the default branch.
+ - The other jobs should run for all changes in merge requests or the default branch.
+- With this pipeline configuration, you can work from a feature branch without running any jobs,
+ which saves resources. When you are ready to validate your changes, create a merge request
+ and a pipeline runs with the jobs configured to run in merge requests.
+- When your merge request is accepted and the changes merge to the default branch,
+ a new pipeline runs which also contains the `pages` deployment job. The site deploys
+ if no jobs fail.
+
+```yaml
+stages:
+ - build
+ - test
+ - deploy
+
+build-job:
+ stage: build
+ image: node
+ script:
+ - npm install
+ - npm run build
+ artifacts:
+ paths:
+ - "build/"
+ rules:
+ - if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == 'merge_request_event' # Run for all changes to a merge request's source branch
+ - if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == $CI_DEFAULT_BRANCH # Run for all changes to the default branch
+
+lint-markdown:
+ stage: test
+ image: node
+ dependencies: []
+ script:
+ - npm install markdownlint-cli2 --global
+ - markdownlint-cli2 -v
+ - markdownlint-cli2 "blog/**/*.md" "docs/**/*.md"
+ allow_failure: true
+ rules:
+ - if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == 'merge_request_event' # Run for all changes to a merge request's source branch
+ - if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == $CI_DEFAULT_BRANCH # Run for all changes to the default branch
+
+test-html:
+ stage: test
+ image: node
+ dependencies:
+ - build-job
+ script:
+ - npm install --save-dev htmlhint
+ - npx htmlhint --version
+ - npx htmlhint build/
+ rules:
+ - if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == 'merge_request_event' # Run for all changes to a merge request's source branch
+ - if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == $CI_DEFAULT_BRANCH # Run for all changes to the default branch
+
+pages:
+ stage: deploy
+ dependencies:
+ - build-job
+ script:
+ - mv build/ public/
+ artifacts:
+ paths:
+ - "public/"
+ rules:
+ - if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == $CI_DEFAULT_BRANCH # Run for all changes to the default branch only
+```
+
+Merge the changes in your merge request. This action updates the default branch. Verify that
+the new pipeline contains the `pages` job that deploys the site.
+
+Be sure to use feature branches and merge requests for all future changes to pipeline configuration.
+Other project changes, like creating a Git tag or adding a pipeline schedule, do not
+trigger pipelines unless you add rules for those cases too.
+
+## Reduce duplicated configuration
+
+The pipeline now contains three jobs that all have identical `rules` and `image`
+configuration. Instead of repeating these rules, use `extends` and `default` to create
+single sources of truth.
+
+This step introduces:
+
+- [Hidden jobs](../jobs/index.md#hide-jobs): Jobs that start with `.` are never
+ added to a pipeline. Use them to hold configuration you want to reuse.
+- [`extends`](../yaml/index.md#extends): Use extends to repeat configuration in
+ multiple places, often from hidden jobs. If you update the hidden job's configuration,
+ all jobs extending the hidden job use the updated configuration.
+- [`default`](../yaml/index.md#default): Set keyword defaults that apply to all jobs
+ when not defined.
+- YAML overriding: When reusing configuration with `extends` or `default`, you can explicitly
+ define a keyword in the job to override the `extends` or `default` configuration.
+
+In this step:
+
+- Add a `.standard-rules` hidden job to hold the rules that are repeated in `build-job`,
+ `lint-markdown`, and `test-html`.
+- Use `extends` to reuse the `.standard-rules` configuration in the three jobs.

Before you can integrate GitLab with Apple services, install to a device, or deploy to the Apple App Store, you must [code sign](https://developer.apple.com/support/code-signing/) your application.
-To code sign an iOS project, you need the following files:
-
-- A certificate issued by Apple.
-- A provisioning profile.
-
## Code signing iOS Projects with fastlane
When you use SaaS runners on macOS, each job runs on a VM. Included in each VM is [fastlane](https://fastlane.tools/),
an open-source solution aimed at simplifying mobile app deployment.
-These steps outline the minimal setup required to use fastlane to code sign your application. Refer to the fastlane [getting started guide](https://docs.fastlane.tools/), [best practices for integrating with GitLab CI](https://docs.fastlane.tools/best-practices/continuous-integration/gitlab/) and the [fastlane code signing getting started guide](https://docs.fastlane.tools/codesigning/getting-started/) for installation instructions, and an overview of how to use fastlane to handle code signing.
-
-To use fastlane to code sign your application:
-
-1. At the root of your project repository, on your local development system, run this command:
-
- ```plaintext
- fastlane match init
- ```
-
- This command creates the `fastlane` directory and adds two files: `Fastfile` and `Appfile`.
-
-1. Open `Appfile` and edit it to include your Apple ID and app ID.
-
- ```plaintext
- app_identifier("APP IDENTIFIER") # The bundle identifier of your app
-
- apple_id("APPLE ID") # Your Apple email address
- ```
-
-1. Open `Fastfile`, which includes the fastlane build steps.
- In the following snippet, the steps `get_certificates`, `get_provisioning_profile,match`, `gym`, and
- `upload_to_testflight` are fastlane [actions](https://docs.fastlane.tools/actions/).
-
- ```plaintext
- # This file contains the fastlane.tools configuration
- # You can find the documentation at https://docs.fastlane.tools
-
- default_platform(:ios)
-
- platform :ios do
- desc "Build the application"
- lane :beta do
- increment_build_number(
- build_number: latest_testflight_build_number + 1,
- xcodeproj: "${PROJECT_NAME}.xcodeproj"
- )
- get_certificates
- get_provisioning_profile
- # match(type: "appstore",read_only: true)
- gym
- upload_to_testflight
- end
- end
- ```
-
-The example configuration also includes an optional `Gymfile`. This file stores configuration
-parameters and is used by the fastlane [`gym`](https://docs.fastlane.tools/actions/gym/) action.
-
-## Using fastlane match
-
-To simplify the code signing process and implement the
-[Code Signing Best Practices Guide](https://codesigning.guide/) recommendations,
-use [fastlane match](https://docs.fastlane.tools/actions/match/).
-
-- Use one code signing identity shared across your team.
-- Store the required certificates and provisioning profiles in a separate GitLab project repository.
-
-Match automatically syncs iOS and macOS keys and provisioning profiles across all team members with access to the GitLab project. Each team member with access to the project can use the credentials for code signing.
-
-To use fastlane match:
-
-1. Initialize match in the project repository:
-
- ```shell
- bundle exec fastlane match init
- ```
-
-1. Select `git` as your storage node.
-1. Enter the URL of the GitLab project you plan to use to store your code signing identities.
-1. Optional. To create a new certificate and provisioning profile, run:
-
- ```shell
- bundle exec fastlane match development
- ```
-
-For different code signing identities' storage options, and for a complete step-by-step guide for using match,
-refer to the [match documentation](https://docs.fastlane.tools/actions/match/#usage).
-
-### Environment variables and authentication
-
-To complete the setup, you must configure environment variables to use with fastlane. The required variables are outlined in the [fastlane documentation](https://docs.fastlane.tools/best-practices/continuous-integration/#environment-variables-to-set).
-
-To support Apple's two factor authentication requirement, configure these variables:
-
-- `FASTLANE_APPLE_APPLICATION_SPECIFIC_PASSWORD` and
-- `FASTLANE_SESSION`
-
-To authenticate fastlane with the App Store for the TestFlight upload, configure these variables:
+For information about how to set up code signing for your application, see the instructions in the [Mobile DevOps documentation](../../../../ci/mobile_devops.md#code-sign-ios-projects-with-fastlane).
-- `FASTLANE_USER` and
-- `FASTLANE_PASSWORD`
+These instructions provide the minimal setup to use fastlane to code sign your application. For more information about using fastlane to handle code signing, see the following resources:

+# Code coverage **(FREE)**
+
+Use code coverage to provide insights on what source code is being validated by a test suite. Code coverage is one of many test metrics that can determine software performance and quality.
+
+## View Code Coverage results
+
+Code Coverage results are shown in:
+
+- Merge request widget
+- Project repository analytics
+- Group repository analytics
+- Repository badge
+
+For more information on test coverage visualization in the file diff of the MR, see [Test Coverage Visualization](test_coverage_visualization.md).
+
+### View code coverage results in the MR
+
+If you use test coverage in your code, you can use a regular expression to
+find coverage results in the job log. You can then include these results
+in the merge request in GitLab.
+
+If the pipeline succeeds, the coverage is shown in the merge request widget and
+in the jobs table. If multiple jobs in the pipeline have coverage reports, they are
+averaged.
+
+![MR widget coverage](img/pipelines_test_coverage_mr_widget.png)
+
+![Build status coverage](img/pipelines_test_coverage_build.png)
+
+#### Add test coverage results using `coverage` keyword
+
+To add test coverage results to a merge request using the project's `.gitlab-ci.yml` file, provide a regular expression
+using the [`coverage`](../yaml/index.md#coverage) keyword.
+
+#### Test coverage examples
+
+Use this regex for commonly used test tools.
+
+<!-- vale gitlab.Spelling = NO -->
+
+- Simplecov (Ruby). Example: `/\(\d+.\d+\%\) covered/`.
+- pytest-cov (Python). Example: `/(?i)total.*? (100(?:\.0+)?\%|[1-9]?\d(?:\.\d+)?\%)$/`.
+- Scoverage (Scala). Example: `/Statement coverage[A-Za-z\.*]\s*:\s*([^%]+)/`.
+- `pest --coverage --colors=never` (PHP). Example: `/^\s*Cov:\s*\d+\.\d+?%$/`.
+- `phpunit --coverage-text --colors=never` (PHP). Example: `/^\s*Lines:\s*\d+.\d+\%/`.

+
+To see the evolution of your project code coverage over time,
+you can view a graph or download a CSV file with this data.
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Analytics > Repository**.
+
+The historic data for each job is listed in the dropdown list above the graph.

+
+You can use [pipeline badges](../../user/project/badges.md#test-coverage-report-badges) to indicate the pipeline status and
+test coverage of your projects. These badges are determined by the latest successful pipeline.

+## Coverage check approval rule **(PREMIUM)**
+
+> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/15765) in GitLab 14.0.
+> - [Made configurable in Project Settings](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/331001) in GitLab 14.1.
+
+When merging a request that would cause the project's test coverage to decline, you can stipulate that such merge requests require approval by selected users or a group.
+
+Follow these steps to enable the `Coverage-Check` MR approval rule:
+
+1. Set up a [`coverage`](../yaml/index.md#coverage) regular expression for all jobs you want to include in the overall coverage value.
+1. Go to your project and select **Settings > Merge requests**.
+1. Under **Merge request approvals**, select **Enable** next to the `Coverage-Check` approval rule.
+1. Select the **Target branch**.
+1. Set the number of **Approvals required** to greater than zero.
+1. Select the users or groups to provide approval.
+1. Select **Add approval rule**.
+
+![Coverage-Check approval rule](img/coverage_check_approval_rule_14_1.png)
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Remove color codes from code coverage
+
+Some test coverage tools output with ANSI color codes that aren't
+parsed correctly by the regular expression. This causes coverage
+parsing to fail.
+
+Some coverage tools do not provide an option to disable color
+codes in the output. If so, pipe the output of the coverage tool through a one-line script that strips the color codes.
+
+For example:
+
+```shell
+lein cloverage | perl -pe 's/\e\[?.*?[\@-~]//g'
+```

+## Define inputs for configuration added with `include` (Beta)
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/391331) in GitLab 15.11 as a Beta feature.
+
+FLAG:
+`spec` and `with` are experimental [Open Beta features](../../policy/alpha-beta-support.md#beta)
+and subject to change without notice.
+
+### Define input parameters with `spec:inputs`
+
+Use `spec:inputs` to define input parameters for CI/CD configuration intended to be added
+to a pipeline with `include`. Use [`include:inputs`](#set-input-parameter-values-with-includeinputs)
+to define the values to use when the pipeline runs.
+
+The specs must be declared at the top of the configuration file, in a header section.
+Separate the header from the rest of the configuration with `---`.
+
+Use the interpolation format `$[[ input.input-id ]]` to reference the values outside of the header section.
+The inputs are evaluated and interpolated once, when the configuration is fetched
+during pipeline creation, but before the configuration is merged with the contents of the `.gitlab-ci.yml`.
+
+```yaml
+spec:
+ inputs:
+ environment:
+ job-stage:
+---
+
+scan-website:
+ stage: $[[ inputs.job-stage ]]
+ script: ./scan-website $[[ inputs.environment ]]
+```
+
+When using `spec:inputs`:
+
+- Defined inputs are mandatory by default.
+- Inputs can be made optional by specifying a `default`. Use `default: null` to have no default value.
+- A string containing an interpolation block must not exceed 1 MB.
+- The string inside an interpolation block must not exceed 1 KB.
+
+For example, a `custom_configuration.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+spec:
+ inputs:
+ website:
+ user:
+ default: 'test-user'
+ flags:
+ default: null
+---
+
+# The pipeline configuration would follow...
+```
+
+In this example:
+
+- `website` is mandatory and must be defined.
+- `user` is optional. If not defined, the value is `test-user`.
+- `flags` is optional. If not defined, it has no value.
+
+### Set input parameter values with `include:inputs`
+
+> `include:with` [renamed to `include:inputs`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/406780) in GitLab 16.0.
+
+Use `include:inputs` to set the values for the parameters when the included configuration
+is added to the pipeline.
+
+For example, to include a `custom_configuration.yml` that has the same specs
+as the [example above](#define-input-parameters-with-specinputs):
+
+```yaml
+include:
+ - local: 'custom_configuration.yml'
+ inputs:
+ website: "My website"
+```
+
+In this example:
+
+- `website` has a value of `My website` for the included configuration.
+- `user` has a value of `test-user`, because that is the default when not specified.
+- `flags` has no value, because it is optional and has no default when not specified.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### `Maximum of 150 nested includes are allowed!` error
+
+The maximum number of [nested included files](#use-nested-includes) for a pipeline is 150.
+If you receive the `Maximum 150 includes are allowed` error message in your pipeline,
+it's likely that either:
+
+- Some of the nested configuration includes an overly large number of additional nested `include` configuration.
+- There is an accidental loop in the nested includes. For example, `include1.yml` includes
+ `include2.yml` which includes `include1.yml`, creating a recursive loop.
+
+To help reduce the risk of this happening, edit the pipeline configuration file
+with the [pipeline editor](../pipeline_editor/index.md), which validates if the
+limit is reached. You can remove one included file at a time to try to narrow down
+which configuration file is the source of the loop or excessive included files.
+
+In [GitLab 16.0 and later](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/207270) self-managed users can
+change the [maximum includes](../../user/admin_area/settings/continuous_integration.md#maximum-includes) value.

-
-In the [`ee/elastic/migrate/`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/tree/master/ee/elastic/migrate) folder, create a new file with the filename format `YYYYMMDDHHMMSS_migration_name.rb`. This format is the same for Rails database migrations.

-
-### Migration helpers
-
-The following migration helpers are available in `ee/app/workers/concerns/elastic/`:
-
-#### `Elastic::MigrationBackfillHelper`
-
-Backfills a specific field in an index. In most cases, the mapping for the field should already be added.
-
-Requires the `index_name` and `field_name` methods.
-
-```ruby
-class MigrationName < Elastic::Migration
- include Elastic::MigrationBackfillHelper
-
- private
-
- def index_name
- Issue.__elasticsearch__.index_name
- end
-
- def field_name
- :schema_version
- end
-end
-```
-
-#### `Elastic::MigrationUpdateMappingsHelper`
-
-Updates a mapping in an index by calling `put_mapping` with the mapping specified.
-
-Requires the `index_name` and `new_mappings` methods.
-
-```ruby
-class MigrationName < Elastic::Migration
- include Elastic::MigrationUpdateMappingsHelper
-
- private
-
- def index_name
- Issue.__elasticsearch__.index_name
- end
-
- def new_mappings
- {
- schema_version: {
- type: 'short'
- }
- }
- end
-end
-```
-
-#### `Elastic::MigrationRemoveFieldsHelper`
-
-Removes specified fields from an index.
-
-Requires the `index_name`, `document_type` methods. If there is one field to remove, add the `field_to_remove` method, otherwise add `fields_to_remove` with an array of fields.
-
-Checks in batches if any documents that match `document_type` have the fields specified in Elasticsearch. If documents exist, uses a Painless script to perform `update_by_query`.
-
-```ruby
-class MigrationName < Elastic::Migration
- include Elastic::MigrationRemoveFieldsHelper
-
- batched!
- throttle_delay 1.minute
-
- private
-
- def index_name
- User.__elasticsearch__.index_name
- end
-
- def document_type
- 'user'
- end
-
- def fields_to_remove
- %w[two_factor_enabled has_projects]
- end
-end
-```
-
-The default batch size is `10_000`. You can override this value by specifying `BATCH_SIZE`:
-
-```ruby
-class MigrationName < Elastic::Migration
- include Elastic::MigrationRemoveFieldsHelper
-
- batched!
- BATCH_SIZE = 100
-
- ...
-end
-```
-
-#### `Elastic::MigrationObsolete`
-
-Marks a migration as obsolete when it's no longer required.
-
-```ruby
-class MigrationName < Elastic::Migration
- include Elastic::MigrationObsolete
-end
-```
-
-#### `Elastic::MigrationHelper`
-
-Contains methods you can use when a migration doesn't fit the previous examples.
-
-```ruby
-class MigrationName < Elastic::Migration
- include Elastic::MigrationHelper
-
- def migrate
- ...
- end
-
- def completed?

-- `batched!` - Allow the migration to run in batches. If set, the [`Elastic::MigrationWorker`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/ee/app/workers/elastic/migration_worker.rb)
-will re-enqueue itself with a delay which is set using the `throttle_delay` option described below. The batching
-must be handled within the `migrate` method, this setting controls the re-enqueuing only.
-
-- `batch_size` - Sets the number of documents modified during a `batched!` migration run. This size should be set to a value which allows the updates
-enough time to finish. This can be tuned in combination with the `throttle_delay` option described below. The batching
-must be handled within a custom `migrate` method or by using the [`Elastic::MigrationBackfillHelper`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/ee/app/workers/concerns/elastic/migration_backfill_helper.rb)
-`migrate` method which uses this setting. Default value is 1000 documents.
-
-- `throttle_delay` - Sets the wait time in between batch runs. This time should be set high enough to allow each migration batch
-enough time to finish. Additionally, the time should be less than 30 minutes since that is how often the
-[`Elastic::MigrationWorker`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/ee/app/workers/elastic/migration_worker.rb)
-cron worker runs. Default value is 5 minutes.
-
-- `pause_indexing!` - Pause indexing while the migration runs. This setting will record the indexing setting before
-the migration runs and set it back to that value when the migration is completed.
-
-- `space_requirements!` - Verify that enough free space is available in the cluster when the migration runs. This setting
- will halt the migration if the storage required is not available when the migration runs. The migration must provide
- the space required in bytes by defining a `space_required_bytes` method.
-
-- `retry_on_failure` - Enable the retry on failure feature. By default, it retries
- the migration 30 times. After it runs out of retries, the migration is marked as halted.
- To customize the number of retries, pass the `max_attempts` argument:
- `retry_on_failure max_attempts: 10`
-
-```ruby
-# frozen_string_literal: true
-
-class BatchedMigrationName < Elastic::Migration
- # Declares a migration should be run in batches
- batched!
- throttle_delay 10.minutes
- pause_indexing!
- space_requirements!
- retry_on_failure
-
- # ...
-end
-```
-
-### Multi-version compatibility
-
-These Advanced Search migrations, like any other GitLab changes, need to support the case where
-[multiple versions of the application are running at the same time](multi_version_compatibility.md).
-
-Depending on the order of deployment, it's possible that the migration
-has started or finished and there's still a server running the application code from before the
-migration. We need to take this into consideration until we can
-[ensure all Advanced Search migrations start after the deployment has finished](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/321619).
-
-### Reverting a migration
-
-Because Elasticsearch does not support transactions, we always need to design our
-migrations to accommodate a situation where the application
-code is reverted after the migration has started or after it is finished.
-
-For this reason we generally defer destructive actions (for example, deletions after
-some data is moved) to a later merge request after the migrations have
-completed successfully. To be safe, for self-managed customers we should also
-defer it to another release if there is risk of important data loss.
-
-### Best practices for Advanced Search migrations
-
-Follow these best practices for best results:
-
-- When working in batches, keep the batch size under 9,000 documents
- and `throttle_delay` for at least 3 minutes. The bulk indexer is set to run
- every 1 minute and process a batch of 10,000 documents. These limits
- allow the bulk indexer time to process records before another migration
- batch is attempted.
-- To ensure that document counts are up to date, it is recommended to refresh
- the index before checking if a migration is completed.
-- Add logging statements to each migration when the migration starts, when a
- completion check occurs, and when the migration is completed. These logs
- are helpful when debugging issues with migrations.
-- Pause indexing if you're using any Elasticsearch Reindex API operations.
-- Consider adding a retry limit if there is potential for the migration to fail.
- This ensures that migrations can be halted if an issue occurs.
-
-## Deleting Advanced Search migrations in a major version upgrade
-
-Since our Advanced Search migrations usually require us to support multiple
-code paths for a long period of time, it's important to clean those up when we
-safely can.
-
-We choose to use GitLab major version upgrades as a safe time to remove
-backwards compatibility for indices that have not been fully migrated. We
-[document this in our upgrade documentation](../update/index.md#upgrading-to-a-new-major-version).
-We also choose to replace the migration code with the halted migration
-and remove tests so that:
-
-- We don't need to maintain any code that is called from our Advanced Search
- migrations.
-- We don't waste CI time running tests for migrations that we don't support
- anymore.
-- Operators who have not run this migration and who upgrade directly to the
- target version will see a message prompting them to reindex from scratch.
-
-To be extra safe, we will not delete migrations that were created in the last
-minor version before the major upgrade. So, if we are upgrading to `%14.0`,
-we should not delete migrations that were only added in `%13.12`. This is an
-extra safety net as we expect there are migrations that get merged that may
-take multiple weeks to finish on GitLab.com. It would be bad if we upgraded
-GitLab.com to `%14.0` before the migrations in `%13.12` were finished. Since
-our deployments to GitLab.com are automated and we currently don't have
-automated checks to prevent this, the extra precaution is warranted.
-Additionally, even if we did have automated checks to prevent it, we wouldn't
-actually want to hold up GitLab.com deployments on Advanced Search migrations,
-as they may still have another week to go, and that's too long to block
-deployments.
-
-### Process for removing migrations
-
-For every migration that was created 2 minor versions before the major version
-being upgraded to, we do the following:
-
-1. Confirm the migration has actually completed successfully for GitLab.com.
-1. Replace the content of the migration with:
-
- ```ruby
- include Elastic::MigrationObsolete
- ```
-
-1. Delete any spec files to support this migration.
-1. Remove any logic handling backwards compatibility for this migration. You
- can find this by looking for
- `Elastic::DataMigrationService.migration_has_finished?(:migration_name_in_lowercase)`.
-1. Create a merge request with these changes. Noting that we should not
- accidentally merge this before the major release is started.
-

+# AI Architecture (Experiment)
+
+GitLab has created a common set of tools to support our product groups and their utilization of AI. Our goals with this common architecture are:
+
+1. Increase the velocity of feature teams by providing a set of high quality, ready to use tools
+1. Ability to switch underlying technologies quickly and easily
+
+AI is moving very quickly, and we need to be able to keep pace with changes in the area. We have built an [abstraction layer](../../ee/development/ai_features.md) to do this, allowing us to take a more "pluggable" approach to the underlying models, data stores, and other technologies.
+
+The following diagram shows a simplified view of how the different components in GitLab interact. The abstraction layer helps avoid code duplication within the REST APIs within the `AI API` block.

+
+## SaaS-based AI abstraction layer
+
+GitLab currently operates a cloud-hosted AI architecture. We are exploring how self-managed instances integrate with it.
+
+There are two primary reasons for this: the best AI models are cloud-based as they often depend on specialized hardware designed for this purpose, and operating self-managed infrastructure capable of AI at-scale and with appropriate performance is a significant undertaking. We are actively [tracking self-managed customers interested in AI](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/409183).
+
+## Supported technologies
+
+As part of the AI working group, we have been investigating various technologies and vetting them. Below is a list of the tools which have been reviewed and already approved for use within the GitLab application.
+
+It is possible to utilize other models or technologies, however they will need to go through a review process prior to use. Use the [AI Project Proposal template](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/new?issuable_template=AI%20Project%20Proposal) as part of your idea and include the new tools required to support it.
+
+### Models
+
+The following models have been approved for use:
+
+- [OpenAI models](https://platform.openai.com/docs/models)
+- Google's [Vertex AI](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai) and [model garden](https://cloud.google.com/model-garden)
+- [AI Code Suggestions](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/modelops/applied-ml/code-suggestions/ai-assist/-/tree/main)
+- [Suggested reviewer](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/modelops/applied-ml/applied-ml-updates/-/issues/10)
+
+### Vector stores
+
+The following vector stores have been approved for use:
+
+- [`pgvector`](https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector) is a Postgres extension adding support for storing vector embeddings and calculating ANN (approximate nearest neighbor).

+
+## Features
+
+- Async execution of the long running API requests
+ - GraphQL Action starts the request
+ - Background workers execute
+ - GraphQL subscriptions deliver results back in real time
+- Abstraction for
+ - OpenAI
+ - Google Vertex AI

+
+## Feature flags
+
+Apply the following two feature flags to any AI feature work:
+
+- A general that applies to all AI features.
+- A flag specific to that feature. The feature flag name [must be different](feature_flags/index.md#feature-flags-for-licensed-features) than the licensed feature name.
+
+See the [feature flag tracker](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/405161) for the list of all feature flags and how to use them.
+
+## Implement a new AI action
+
+To implement a new AI action, connect to the OpenAI API. You can connect to this API using either the:
+
+- Experimental REST API.
+- Abstraction layer.
+
+All AI features are experimental.
+
+## Test AI features locally
+
+1. Enable the required general feature flags:
+
+ ```ruby
+ Feature.enable(:ai_related_settings)
+ Feature.enable(:openai_experimentation)
+ Feature.enable(:tofa_experimentation_main_flag)
+ Feature.enable(:anthropic_experimentation)
+ ```
+
+1. Simulate the GDK to [simulate SaaS](ee_features.md#simulate-a-saas-instance) and ensure the group you want to test has an Ultimate license
+1. Enable `Experimental features` and `Third-party AI services`
+ 1. Go to the group with the Ultimate license
+ 1. **Group Settings** > **General** -> **Permissions and group features**
+ 1. Enable **Experiment features**
+ 1. Enable **Third-party AI services**
+1. Enable the specific feature flag for the feature you want to test
+1. Set either the required access token `OpenAi` or `Vertex`. Ask in [`#ai_enablement_team`](https://gitlab.slack.com/archives/C051K31F30R) to receive an access token.
+
+### Set up the embedding database
+
+For features that use the embedding database, additional setup is needed.
+
+1. Enable [pgvector](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-development-kit/-/blob/main/doc/howto/pgvector.md#enable-pgvector-in-the-gdk) in GDK
+1. Enable the embedding database in GDK
+
+ ```shell
+ gdk config set gitlab.rails.databases.embedding.enabled true
+ ```
+
+1. Run `gdk reconfigure`
+1. Run database migrations to create the embedding database
+
+### Setup for GitLab chat
+
+To populate the embedding database for GitLab chat:
+
+1. Open a rails console
+1. Run [this script](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/production/-/issues/10588#note_1373586079) to populate the embedding database
+
+### Configure GCP Vertex access
+
+In order to obtain a GCP service key for local development, please follow the steps below:
+
+- Create a sandbox GCP environment by visiting [this page](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/infrastructure-standards/#individual-environment) and following the instructions
+- In the GCP console, go to `IAM & Admin` > `Service Accounts` and click on the "Create new service account" button
+- Name the service account something specific to what you're using it for. Select Create and Continue. Under `Grant this service account access to project`, select the role `Vertex AI User`. Select `Continue` then `Done`
+- Select your new service account and `Manage keys` > `Add Key` > `Create new key`. This will download the **private** JSON credentials for your service account. Your full settings should then be:
+
+```ruby
+Gitlab::CurrentSettings.update(tofa_credentials: File.read('/YOUR_FILE.json'))
+
+# Note: These credential examples will not work locally for all models
+Gitlab::CurrentSettings.update(tofa_host: "<root-domain>") # Example: us-central1-aiplatform.googleapis.com
+Gitlab::CurrentSettings.update(tofa_url: "<full-api-endpoint>") # Example: https://ROOT-DOMAIN/v1/projects/MY-COOL-PROJECT/locations/us-central1/publishers/google/models/MY-SPECIAL-MODEL:predict
+```
+
+Internal team members can [use this snippet](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/production/-/snippets/2541742) for help configuring these endpoints.
+
+### Configure OpenAI access
+
+```ruby
+Gitlab::CurrentSettings.update(openai_api_key: "<open-ai-key>")
+```
+
+### Configure Anthropic access
+
+```ruby
+Feature.enable(:anthropic_experimentation)
+Gitlab::CurrentSettings.update!(anthropic_api_key: <insert API key>)
+```
+
+## Experimental REST API
+
+Use the [experimental REST API endpoints](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/ee/lib/api/ai/experimentation) to quickly experiment and prototype AI features.
+
+The endpoints are:
+
+- `https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/ai/experimentation/openai/completions`
+- `https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/ai/experimentation/openai/embeddings`
+- `https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/ai/experimentation/openai/chat/completions`
+- `https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/ai/experimentation/anthropic/complete`
+- `https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/ai/experimentation/tofa/chat`
+
+These endpoints are only for prototyping, not for rolling features out to customers.
+The experimental endpoint is only available to GitLab team members on production. Use the
+[GitLab API token](../user/profile/personal_access_tokens.md) to authenticate.
+
+## Abstraction layer
+
+### GraphQL API
+
+To connect to the OpenAI API using the Abstraction Layer, use an extendable GraphQL API called
+[`aiAction`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/master/ee/app/graphql/mutations/ai/action.rb).
+The `input` accepts key/value pairs, where the `key` is the action that needs to be performed.
+We only allow one AI action per mutation request.
+
+Example of a mutation:
+
+```graphql
+mutation {
+ aiAction(input: {summarizeComments: {resourceId: "gid://gitlab/Issue/52"}}) {
+ clientMutationId
+ }
+}
+```
+
+As an example, assume we want to build an "explain code" action. To do this, we extend the `input` with a new key,
+`explainCode`. The mutation would look like this:
+
+```graphql
+mutation {
+ aiAction(input: {explainCode: {resourceId: "gid://gitlab/MergeRequest/52", code: "foo() { console.log()" }}) {
+ clientMutationId
+ }
+}
+```
+
+The GraphQL API then uses the [OpenAI Client](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/master/ee/lib/gitlab/llm/open_ai/client.rb)
+to send the response.
+
+#### How to receive a response
+
+As the OpenAI API requests are handled in a background job, we do not keep the request alive and
+the response is sent through the `aiCompletionResponse` subscription:
+
+```mutation
+subscription aiCompletionResponse($userId: UserID, $resourceId: AiModelID!) {
+ aiCompletionResponse(userId: $userId, resourceId: $resourceId) {
+ responseBody
+ errors
+ }
+}
+```
+
+WARNING:
+You should only subscribe to the subscription once the mutation is sent. If multiple subscriptions are active on the same page, they currently all receive updates as our identifier is the user and the resource. To mitigate this, you should only subscribe when the mutation is sent. You can use [`skip()`](You can use [`skip()`](https://apollo.vuejs.org/guide/apollo/subscriptions.html#skipping-the-subscription)) for this case. To prevent this problem in the future, we implement a [request identifier](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/408196).

+
+## CircuitBreaker
+
+The CircuitBreaker concern is a reusable module that you can include in any class that needs to run code with circuit breaker protection. The concern provides a `run_with_circuit` method that wraps a code block with circuit breaker functionality, which helps prevent cascading failures and improves system resilience. For more information about the circuit breaker pattern, see:
+
+- [What is Circuit breaker](https://martinfowler.com/bliki/CircuitBreaker.html).
+- [The Hystrix documentation on CircuitBreaker](https://github.com/Netflix/Hystrix/wiki/How-it-Works#circuit-breaker).
+
+### Use CircuitBreaker
+
+To use the CircuitBreaker concern, you need to include it in a class. For example:
+
+```ruby
+class MyService
+ include Gitlab::Llm::Concerns::CircuitBreaker
+
+ def call_external_service
+ run_with_circuit do
+ # Code that interacts with external service goes here
+
+ raise InternalServerError
+ end
+ end
+end
+```
+
+The `call_external_service` method is an example method that interacts with an external service.
+By wrapping the code that interacts with the external service with `run_with_circuit`, the method is executed within the circuit breaker.
+The circuit breaker is created and configured by the `circuit` method, which is called automatically when the `CircuitBreaker` module is included.
+The method should raise `InternalServerError` error which will be counted towards the error threshold if raised during the execution of the code block.
+
+The circuit breaker tracks the number of errors and the rate of requests,
+and opens the circuit if it reaches the configured error threshold or volume threshold.
+If the circuit is open, subsequent requests fail fast without executing the code block, and the circuit breaker periodically allows a small number of requests through to test the service's availability before closing the circuit again.
+
+### Configuration
+
+The circuit breaker is configured with two constants which control the number of errors and requests at which the circuit will open:
+
+- `ERROR_THRESHOLD`
+- `VOLUME_THRESHOLD`
+
+You can adjust these values as needed for the specific service and usage pattern.
+The `InternalServerError` is the exception class counted towards the error threshold if raised during the execution of the code block.
+This is the exception class that triggers the circuit breaker when raised by the code that interacts with the external service.
+
+NOTE:
+The `CircuitBreaker` module depends on the `Circuitbox` gem to provide the circuit breaker implementation. By default, the service name is inferred from the class name where the concern module is included. Override the `service_name` method if the name needs to be different.
+
+### Testing
+
+To test code that uses the `CircuitBreaker` concern, you can use `RSpec` shared examples and pass the `service` and `subject` variables:
+
+```ruby
+it_behaves_like 'has circuit breaker' do
+ let(:service) { dummy_class.new }
+ let(:subject) { service.dummy_method }
+end
+```
+
+## How to implement a new action
+
+### Register a new method
+
+Go to the `Llm::ExecuteMethodService` and add a new method with the new service class you will create.
+
+```ruby
+class ExecuteMethodService < BaseService
+ METHODS = {
+ # ...
+ amazing_new_ai_feature: Llm::AmazingNewAiFeatureService
+ }.freeze
+```
+
+### Create a Service
+
+1. Create a new service under `ee/app/services/llm/` and inherit it from the `BaseService`.
+1. The `resource` is the object we want to act on. It can be any object that includes the `Ai::Model` concern. For example it could be a `Project`, `MergeRequest`, or `Issue`.
+
+```ruby
+# ee/app/services/llm/amazing_new_ai_feature_service.rb
+
+module Llm
+ class AmazingNewAiFeatureService < BaseService
+ private
+
+ def perform
+ ::Llm::CompletionWorker.perform_async(user.id, resource.id, resource.class.name, :amazing_new_ai_feature)
+ success
+ end
+
+ def valid?
+ super && Ability.allowed?(user, :amazing_new_ai_feature, resource)
+ end
+ end
+end
+```
+
+### Authorization
+
+We recommend to use [policies](policies.md) to deal with authorization for a feature. Currently we need to make sure to cover the following checks:
+
+1. General AI feature flag is enabled
+1. Feature specific feature flag is enabled
+1. The namespace has the required license for the feature
+1. User is a member of the group/project
+1. Resource is allowed to be sent (see `send_to_ai?` method)
+1. `experiment_features_enabled` and `third_party_ai_features_enabled` flags are set on the `Namespace`
+
+For our example, we need to implement the `allowed?(:amazing_new_ai_feature)` call. As an example, you can look at the [Issue Policy for the summarize comments feature](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/ee/app/policies/ee/issue_policy.rb). In our example case, we want to implement the feature for Issues as well:
+
+```ruby
+# ee/app/policies/ee/issue_policy.rb
+
+module EE
+ module IssuePolicy
+ extend ActiveSupport::Concern
+ prepended do
+ with_scope :subject
+ condition(:ai_available) do
+ ::Feature.enabled?(:openai_experimentation) &&
+ @subject.send_to_ai?
+ end
+
+ with_scope :subject
+ condition(:amazing_new_ai_feature_enabled) do
+ ::Feature.enabled?(:amazing_new_ai_feature, subject_container) &&
+ subject_container.licensed_feature_available?(:amazing_new_ai_feature)
+ end
+
+ rule do
+ ai_available & amazing_new_ai_feature_enabled & is_project_member
+ end.enable :amazing_new_ai_feature
+ end
+ end
+end
+```
+
+### Implement `send_to_ai?`
+
+To make sure we only send data that is allowed to be sent, we have the `send_to_ai?` method. It checks if the resource is not confidential and public data.
+Some resources already implement `send_to_ai?`. Make sure yours does as well. In our case, `Issue` is already covered with the `Issuable` concern. This is an example how it could look like:
+
+```ruby
+# ee/app/models/concerns/ee
+
+def send_to_ai?
+ !try(:confidential) && resource_parent.public?
+end
+```
+
+### Check if feature is allowed for this resource based on namespace settings
+
+There are two settings allowed on root namespace level that restrict the use of AI features:
+
+- `experiment_features_enabled`
+- `third_party_ai_features_enabled`.
+
+To check if that feature is allowed for a given namespace, call:
+
+```ruby
+Gitlab::Llm::StageCheck.available?(namespace, :name_of_the_feature)
+```
+
+Add the name of the feature to the `Gitlab::Llm::StageCheck` class. There are arrays there that differentiate
+between experimental and beta features.
+
+This way we are ready for the following different cases:
+
+- If the feature is not in any array, the check will return `true`. For example, the feature was moved to GA and does not use a third-party setting.
+- If feature is in GA, but uses a third-party setting, the class will return a proper answer based on the namespace third-party setting.
+
+To move the feature from the experimental phase to the beta phase, move the name of the feature from the `EXPERIMENTAL_FEATURES` array to the `BETA_FEATURES` array.
+

+
+ ai_response = Gitlab::Llm::OpenAi::Client.new(user).chat(content: nil, **options)
+
+ ::Gitlab::Llm::OpenAi::ResponseService.new(user, issue, ai_response, options: {}).execute(

+ )
+ end
+
+ private

+ attr_reader :ai_prompt_class
+ end
+ end

+## Breaking changes
+
+We must not make breaking changes to our REST API v4, even in major GitLab releases.
+
+Our REST API maintains its own versioning independent of GitLab versioning.
+The current REST API version is `4`. [We commit to follow semantic versioning for our REST API](../api/rest/index.md#compatibility-guidelines),
+which means we cannot make breaking changes until a major version change (most likely, `5`).
+
+Because version `5` is not scheduled, we allow rare [exceptions](#exceptions).
+
+### Accommodating backward compatibility instead of breaking changes
+
+Backward compatibility can often be accommodated in the API by continuing to adapt a changed feature to
+the old API schema. For example, our REST API
+[exposes](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/c104f6b8/lib/api/entities/merge_request_basic.rb#L43-47) both
+`work_in_progress` and `draft` fields.
+
+### Exceptions
+
+The exception is only when:
+
+- A feature must be removed in a major GitLab release.
+- Backward compatibility cannot be maintained
+ [in any form](#accommodating-backward-compatibility-instead-of-breaking-changes).
+
+This exception should be rare.
+
+Even in this exception, rather than removing a field or argument, we must always do the following:
+
+- Return an empty response for a field (for example, `"null"` or `[]`).
+- Turn an argument into a no-op.
+
+## What is a breaking change
+
+Some examples of breaking changes are:
+
+- Removing or renaming fields, arguments, or enum values.
+- Removing endpoints.
+- Adding new redirects (not all clients follow redirects).
+- Changing the type of fields in the response (for example, from `String` to `Integer`).
+- Adding a new **required** argument.
+- Changing authentication, authorization, or other header requirements.
+- Changing [any status code](../api/rest/index.md#status-codes) other than `500`.
+
+## What is not a breaking change
+
+Some examples of non-breaking changes:
+
+- Any additive change, such as adding endpoints, non-required arguments, fields, or enum values.
+- Changes to error messages.
+- Changes from a `500` status code to [any supported status code](../api/rest/index.md#status-codes) (this is a bugfix).
+- Changes to the order of fields returned in a response.

+## Error handling
+
+When throwing an error with a message that is meant to be user-facing, you should
+use the error message utility function contained in `lib/gitlab/utils/error_message.rb`.
+It adds a prefix to the error message, making it distinguishable from non-user-facing error messages.
+
+```ruby
+Gitlab::Utils::ErrorMessage.to_user_facing('Example user-facing error-message')
+```
+
+Please make sure that the Frontend is aware of the prefix usage and is using the according utils. See [Error handling](fe_guide/style/javascript.md#error-handling) in JavaScript style guide for more information.

+# Add new tables to the CI database
+
+The [pipeline data partitioning](../../architecture/blueprints/ci_data_decay/pipeline_partitioning.md)
+design blueprint describes how to partition existing tables in the CI domain. However,
+you still need to add tables for new features. Sometimes these tables hold
+references to larger tables that need to be partitioned. To reduce future
+work, all tables that use a `belongs_to` association to partitionable tables
+should be partitioned from the start.
+
+## Create a new routing table
+
+Here is an example on how to use database helpers to create a new table and foreign keys:
+
+```ruby
+ include Gitlab::Database::PartitioningMigrationHelpers
+ disable_ddl_transaction!
+
+ def up
+ create_table(:p_ci_examples, primary_key: [:id, :partition_id], options: 'PARTITION BY LIST (partition_id)', if_not_exists: true) do |t|
+ t.bigserial :id, null: false
+ t.bigint :partition_id, null: false
+ t.bigint :build_id, null: false
+ end
+
+ add_concurrent_partitioned_foreign_key(
+ :p_ci_examples, :ci_builds,
+ column: [:partition_id, :build_id],
+ target_column: [:partition_id, :id],
+ on_update: :cascade,
+ on_delete: :cascade,
+ reverse_lock_order: true
+ )
+ end
+
+ def down
+ drop_table :p_ci_examples
+ end
+```
+
+This table is called a routing table and it does not hold any data. The
+data is stored in partitions.
+
+When creating the routing table:
+
+- The table name must start with the `p_` prefix. There are analyzers in place to ensure that all queries go
+ through the routing tables and do not access the partitions directly.
+- Each new table needs a `partition_id` column and its value must equal
+ the value from the related association. In this example, that is `ci_builds`. All resources
+ belonging to a pipeline share the same `partition_id` value.
+- The primary key must have the columns ordered this way to allow efficient
+ search only by `id`.
+- The foreign key constraint must include the `ON UPDATE CASCADE` option because
+ the `partition_id` value should be able to update it for re-balancing the
+ partitions.
+
+## Create the first partition
+
+Usually, you rely on the application to create the initial partition at boot time.
+However, due to the high traffic on the CI tables and the large number of nodes,
+it can be difficult to acquire a lock on the referenced table.
+Consequently, during deployment, a node may fail to start.
+To prevent this failure, you must ensure that the partition is already in place before
+the application runs:
+
+```ruby
+ disable_ddl_transaction!
+
+ def up
+ with_lock_retries do
+ connection.execute(<<~SQL)
+ LOCK TABLE ci_builds IN SHARE UPDATE EXCLUSIVE MODE;
+ LOCK TABLE ONLY p_ci_examples IN ACCESS EXCLUSIVE MODE;
+ SQL
+
+ connection.execute(<<~SQL)
+ CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS gitlab_partitions_dynamic.ci_examples_100
+ PARTITION OF p_ci_examples
+ FOR VALUES IN (100);
+ SQL
+ end
+ end
+```
+
+Partitions are created in `gitlab_partitions_dynamic` schema.
+
+When creating a partition, remember:
+
+- Partition names do not use the `p_` prefix.
+- The default value for `partition_id` is `100`.
+
+## Cascade the partition value
+
+To cascade the partition value, the module should use the `Ci::Partitionable` module:
+
+```ruby
+class Ci::Example < Ci::ApplicationRecord
+ include Ci::Partitionable
+
+ self.table_name = :p_ci_examples
+ self.primary_key = :id
+
+ belongs_to :build, class_name: 'Ci::Build'
+ partitionable scope: :build, partitioned: true
+end
+```
+
+## Manage partitions
+
+The model must be included in the [`PARTITIONABLE_MODELS`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/920147293ae304639915f66b260dc14e4f629850/app/models/concerns/ci/partitionable.rb#L25-44)
+list because it is used to test that the `partition_id` is
+propagated correctly.
+
+If it's missing, specifying `partitioned: true` creates the first partition. The model also needs to be registered in the
+[`postgres_partitioning.rb`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/920147293ae304639915f66b260dc14e4f629850/config/initializers/postgres_partitioning.rb)

+# Code Owners development guidelines
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/219916) in GitLab 15.10.
+
+This document was created to help contributors understand the code design of
+[Code Owners](../../user/project/codeowners/index.md). You should read this
+document before making changes to the code for this feature.
+
+This document is intentionally limited to an overview of how the code is
+designed, as code can change often. To understand how a specific part of the
+feature works, view the code and the specs. The details here explain how the
+major components of the Code Owners feature work.
+
+NOTE:
+This document should be updated when parts of the codebase referenced in this
+document are updated, removed, or new parts are added.
+
+## Business logic
+
+All of the business logic for code owners is located in the `Gitlab::CodeOwners`
+namespace. Code Owners is an EE-only feature, so the files only exist in the `./ee` directory.
+
+- `Gitlab::CodeOwners`: the main module used to interact with the code owner rules.
+ - Defined in `./ee/lib/gitlab/code_owners.rb`.
+- `Gitlab::CodeOwners::File`: wraps a `CODEOWNERS` file and exposes the data through
+ the class' public methods.
+ - Defined in `./ee/lib/gitlab/code_owners/file.rb`.
+- `Gitlab::CodeOwners::Section`: wraps a section heading from a
+ `CODEOWNERS` file and parses the different parts.
+ - Defined in `./ee/lib/gitlab/code_owners/section.rb`.
+- `Gitlab::CodeOwners::Entry`: wraps an entry (a pattern and owners line) in a
+ `CODEOWNERS` file and exposes the data through the class' public methods.
+ - Defined in `./ee/lib/gitlab/code_owners/entry.rb`.
+- `Gitlab::CodeOwners::Loader`: finds the correct `CODEOWNER` file and loads the
+ content into a `Gitlab::CodeOwners::File` instance.
+ - Defined in `./ee/lib/gitlab/code_owners/loader.rb`.
+- `Gitlab::CodeOwners::ReferenceExtractor`: extracts `CODEOWNER` user, group,
+ and email references from texts.
+ - Defined in `./ee/lib/gitlab/code_owners/reference_extractor.rb`.
+- `Gitlab::CodeOwners::UsersLoader`: the correct `CODEOWNER` file and loads the
+ content into a `Gitlab::CodeOwners::File` instance.
+ - Defined in `./ee/lib/gitlab/code_owners/users_loader.rb`.
+- `Gitlab::CodeOwners::GroupsLoader`: finds the correct `CODEOWNER` file and loads
+ the content into a `Gitlab::CodeOwners::File` instance.
+ - Defined in `./ee/lib/gitlab/code_owners/groups_loader.rb`.
+- `Gitlab::CodeOwners::Validator`: validates no files in the `CODEOWNERS` entries
+ have been changed when a user pushes to a protected branch with `require_code_owner_approval` enabled.
+ - Defined in `./ee/lib/gitlab/code_owners/validator.rb`.
+
+## Related models
+
+### `ProtectedBranch`
+
+The `ProtectedBranch` model is defined in `app/models/protected_branch.rb` and
+extended in `ee/app/ee/models/protected_branch.rb`. The EE version includes a column
+named `require_code_owner_approval` which prevents changes from being pushed directly
+to the branch being protected if the file is listed in `CODEOWNERS`.
+
+### `ApprovalMergeRequestRule`
+
+The `ApprovalMergeRequestRule` model is defined in `ee/app/models/approval_merge_request_rule.rb`.
+The model stores approval rules for a merge request. We use multiple rule types,
+including a `code_owner` type rule.
+
+## Controllers and Services
+
+The following controllers and services below are being used for the approval
+rules feature to work:
+
+### `Api::Internal::Base`
+
+This `/internal/allowed` endpoint is called when pushing to GitLab to ensure the
+user is allowed to push. The `/internal/allowed` endpoint performs a `Gitlab::Checks::DiffCheck`.
+In EE, this includes code owner checks.
+
+Defined in `lib/api/internal/base.rb`.
+
+### `Repositories::GitHttpController`
+
+When changes are pushed to GitLab over HTTP, the controller performs an access check
+to ensure the user is allowed to push. The checks perform a `Gitlab::Checks::DiffCheck`.
+In EE, this includes Code Owner checks.
+
+Defined in `app/controllers/repositories/git_http_controller.rb`.
+
+### `EE::Gitlab::Checks::DiffCheck`
+
+This module extends the CE `Gitlab::Checks::DiffChecks` class and adds code owner
+validation. It uses the `Gitlab::CodeOwner::Validator` class to verify users are
+not pushing files listed in `CODEOWNER` directly to a protected branch while the
+branch requires code owner approval.
+
+### `MergeRequests::SyncCodeOwnerApprovalRules`
+
+This service is defined in `services/merge_requests/sync_code_owner_approval_rules.rb` and used for:
+
+- Deleting outdated code owner approval rules when new changes are pushed to a merge request.
+- Creating code owner approval rules for each changed file in a merge request that is also listed in the `CODEOWNER` file.
+
+## Flow
+
+These flowcharts should help explain the flow from the controllers down to the
+models for different features.
+
+### Push changes to a protected branch with `require_code_owner_approval` enabled

+# Tutorial: Make a GitLab contribution
+
+Anyone can contribute to the development of GitLab.
+
+Maybe you want to add functionality that you feel is missing. Or maybe
+you noticed some UI text that you want to improve.
+
+This tutorial will walk you through the process of updating UI text
+and related files by using the GitLab Development Kit and the GitLab community fork.
+You can follow this example exactly to familiarize yourself with the process,
+or you can choose other UI text to update.
+
+## Steps
+
+To make a contribution, you will:
+
+1. [Configure the GitLab Development Kit](#step-1-configure-the-gitlab-development-kit)
+1. [Make your code updates](#step-2-change-the-code)
+1. [Push your changes to the community fork](#step-3-push-your-changes-to-the-community-fork)
+1. [Create a merge request](#step-4-create-a-merge-request)
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+On your local machine:
+
+- Ensure Git is installed.
+ (From the command line, type `git -v`. If you get a result, you have Git installed.)
+- Install a source code editor, or decide which tool you're going to use to edit files.
+
+On GitLab.com:
+
+- Create an account. Ensure you can successfully sign in.
+- Go to the [`gitlab-community/community-members` group](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-community/community-members)
+ and select **Request access**. This action will give you access to the GitLab
+ community fork, where you'll author your changes.
+
+## Step 1: Configure the GitLab Development Kit
+
+The GitLab Development Kit (GDK) is a local version of GitLab that's yours to play with.
+It's just like an installation of self-managed GitLab. It includes sample projects you
+can use to test functionality, and it gives you access to administrator functionality.
+You can run it on your local machine, or use GitPod to run a remote version.
+
+![GDK](img/gdk_home.png)
+
+If you've never used the GDK before, and you think you might contribute
+more than once, you should install it.
+If you already have a working GDK, you should
+[update it to use the community fork](#an-existing-gdk-installation).
+
+### A new GDK installation
+
+Set aside about two hours to install the GDK. If all goes smoothly, it
+should take about an hour to install.
+
+Sometimes the installation needs some tweaks to make it work, so you should
+also set aside some time for troubleshooting.
+It might seem like a lot of work, but after you have the GDK running,
+you'll be able to contribute much more often and more easily.
+
+To install the GDK:
+
+1. Ensure you're on
+ [one of the supported platforms](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-development-kit/-/tree/main/#supported-platforms)
+ (macOS, Ubuntu, etc.).
+1. Choose the directory where you want to install the GDK.
+ In this location, a repository called `gitlab-development-kit` will be created,
+ and the application will be installed.
+1. From the command line, go to that directory.
+ In this example, we will use the `development` directory.
+
+ ```shell
+ cd development
+ ```
+
+1. Run the one-line installation command:
+
+ ```shell
+ curl "https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-development-kit/-/raw/main/support/install" | bash
+ ```
+
+1. For the message `Where would you like to install the GDK? [./gitlab-development-kit]`,
+ press Enter to accept the default location.
+
+1. For the message `Which GitLab repo URL would you like to clone?`, enter the GitLab community fork:
+
+ ```shell
+ https://gitlab.com/gitlab-community/gitlab.git
+ ```
+
+While the installation is running, copy any messages that are displayed.
+If you have any problems with the installation, you can use this output as
+part of troubleshooting.
+
+When the installation is complete:
+
+1. Go to the directory where the GDK was installed:
+
+ ```shell
+ cd gitlab-development-kit
+ ```
+
+1. Start the GDK:
+
+ ```shell
+ gdk start
+ ```
+
+1. Connect to the GDK by using the URL provided. It should be something like <http://127.0.0.1:3000>.
+1. Use the username `root` and the password `5iveL!fe`. You will be prompted
+ to reset your password the first time you sign in.
+
+If you have any problems, try going to the `gitlab-development-kit/gitlab`
+directory and running these commands:
+
+```shell
+yarn install && bundle install
+bundle exec rails db:migrate RAILS_ENV=development
+```
+
+From the `gitlab-development-kit` folder, you can also try running `gdk doctor`.
+
+For more advanced troubleshooting, see
+[the troubleshooting docs](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-development-kit/-/tree/main/doc/troubleshooting).
+
+### An existing GDK installation
+
+If you have an existing GDK installation, you should update it so it's
+using the community fork.
+
+1. Delete the existing `gitlab-development-kit/gitlab` directory.
+1. Clone the community fork into that location:
+
+ ```shell
+ cd gitlab-development-kit
+ git clone https://gitlab.com/gitlab-community/gitlab.git
+ ```
+
+To confirm it was successful:
+
+1. Ensure the `gitlab-development-kit/gitlab` directory exists.
+1. Go to the top `gitlab-development-kit` directory and run `gdk stop` and `gdk start`.
+
+If you get errors, run `gdk doctor` to troubleshoot. For more advanced troubleshooting, see
+[the troubleshooting docs](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-development-kit/-/tree/main/doc/troubleshooting).
+
+## Step 2: Change the code
+
+Now for the fun part. Let's edit some code.
+
+In this example, I found some UI text I'd like to change.
+In the upper-right corner in GitLab, I selected my avatar and then **Preferences**.
+I want to change this text:
+
+![UI text](img/ui_text_before.png)
+
+Other settings on the page start with the word `Customize` and skip the `This setting allows you to` part.
+I'll update this phrase to match the others.
+
+1. Search the `gitlab-development-kit/gitlab` directory for the string `This setting allows you to customize`.
+
+ The results show one `.haml` file, two `.md` files, one `.pot` file, and
+ several `.po` files.
+
+1. Open the `.haml` file. This file is where the UI text resides.
+1. Update the string. In this case, I'll remove the words before `customize`
+ and start the word `customize` with a capital `C`.
+1. Save the file.
+
+You can check that you were successful:
+
+- In the `gitlab-development-kit/gitlab` directory, type `git status`
+ to show the file you modified:
+
+ ```shell
+ modified: app/views/profiles/preferences/show.html.haml
+ ```
+
+- Refresh the web browser where you're viewing the GDK.
+ The changes should be displayed. Take a screenshot.
+
+ ![UI text](img/ui_text_after.png)
+
+### Update the translation files
+
+English UI strings are localized into many languages.
+These strings are saved in a `.pot` file, which you must update
+any time you update UI text.
+
+To generate the localization file:
+
+1. Ensure you are in the `gitlab-development-kit/gitlab` directory.
+1. Run the following command:
+
+ ```shell
+ bin/rake gettext:compile
+ ```
+
+ After several minutes, a `.pot` file is generated in the `/locale` directory.
+
+Now, in the `gitlab-development-kit/gitlab` directory, if you type `git status`
+you should have both files listed:
+
+```shell
+ modified: app/views/profiles/preferences/show.html.haml
+ modified: locale/gitlab.pot
+```
+
+For more information about localization, see [internationalization](../i18n/externalization.md).
+
+### Update the documentation
+
+Documentation for GitLab is published on <https://docs.gitlab.com>.
+When you add or update a feature, you must update the docs as well.
+
+1. To find the documentation for a feature, the easiest thing is to search the
+ docs site. In this case, the setting is described on this documentation page:
+
+ ```plaintext
+ https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/profile/preferences.html
+ ```
+
+1. The URL shows you the location of the file in the `/doc` directory.
+ In this case, the location is:
+
+ ```plaintext
+ doc/user/profile/preferences.md
+ ```
+
+1. Go to this location in your local `gitlab` repository and update the `.md` file
+ and any related images.
+
+Now when you run `git status`, you should have something like:
+
+```plaintext
+ modified: app/views/profiles/preferences/show.html.haml
+ modified: doc/user/profile/img/profile-preferences-syntax-themes.png
+ modified: doc/user/profile/preferences.md
+ modified: locale/gitlab.pot
+```
+
+To view these changes in action, you can
+[check out a merge request where these changes have already been made](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/116472).
+
+## Step 3: Push your changes to the community fork
+
+Now you're going to push your changes to the community fork. This is the next step
+in getting your changes put into the main GitLab repository.
+
+1. Ensure you are in the `gitlab-development-kit/gitlab` directory.
+1. Create a branch. You don't want to work in the `master` branch.
+ Instead, you want to create a branch for your work. In this example,
+ we're going to call the branch `ui-updates`.
+
+ ```shell
+ git checkout -b ui-updates
+ ```
+
+1. Add the files to the staging area.
+
+ ```shell
+ git add .
+ ```
+
+1. Provide a commit message. GitLab has somewhat strict
+ [commit message guidelines](merge_request_workflow.md#commit-messages-guidelines).
+ To be safe, a general rule is to use three to five words, start with a capital letter,
+ and do **not** end with a period.
+
+ ```shell
+ git commit -m "Updating UI text
+
+ Standardizing the text on this page so
+ that each area uses consistent language.
+
+ Changelog: changed"
+ ```
+
+ The `Changelog: changed` is because we're changing an existing feature. If we were adding a feature, we'd
+ use `Changelog: added`. For details, see [changelog entries](../changelog.md).
+
+1. Push the changes to the community fork. At the same time, set the fork as your upstream,
+ so that it will be in sync for any future contributions.
+
+ ```shell
+ git push --set-upstream origin ui-updates
+ ```
+
+## Step 4: Create a merge request
+
+Now you're ready to push changes from the community fork to the main GitLab repository!
+
+1. Go to [the community fork on GitLab.com](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-community/gitlab).
+ You should see a message like this one:
+
+ ![Create merge request banner](img/mr_button.png)
+
+ Select **Create merge request**.
+ If you don't see this message, on the left sidebar, select **Merge requests > New merge request**.
+
+1. Take a look at the branch names. You should be merging from your branch
+ in the community fork to the `master` branch in the GitLab repository.
+
+ ![New merge request](img/new_merge_request.png)
+
+1. Fill out the information and then select **Save changes**.
+ Don't worry if your merge request is not complete. If you don't want anyone
+ from GitLab to review it, you can select the **Mark as draft** checkbox.
+ If you're not happy with the merge request after you create it, you can
+ close it, no harm done.
+
+1. Select the **Changes** tab. It should look something like this:
+
+ ![Changes tab](img/changes_tab.png)
+
+ The red text shows the code before you made changes. The green shows what
+ the code looks like now.
+
+1. If you're happy with this merge request and want to start the review process, type
+ `@gitlab-bot ready` in a comment and then select **Comment**.
+
+ ![GitLab bot ready comment](img/bot_ready.png)
+
+Someone from GitLab will look at your request and let you know what the next steps are.
+
+Now, any time you want to make a contribution to GitLab, you can just
+go to the `gitlab-development-kit` folder and run `gdk update`. Then make
+your changes in the `gitlab` directory and push them to the fork.
+
+If you need help at any point in the process, type `@gitlab-bot help` in a comment
+or initiate a [mentor session](https://about.gitlab.com/community/contribute/mentor-sessions/)
+on [Discord](https://discord.gg/gitlab).
+
+Congratulations on submitting your request, and thank you for your contribution!

-- Consult the [Contribution Flow](#contribution-flow) section to learn the process.
-
-### Contribution flow
-
-The general flow of contributing to GitLab is:
-
-1. [Create a fork](../../user/project/repository/forking_workflow.md#creating-a-fork)
- of GitLab. In some cases, you will want to set up the
- [GitLab Development Kit](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-development-kit) to
- [develop against your fork](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-development-kit/-/blob/main/doc/index.md#develop-in-your-own-gitlab-fork).
-1. Make your changes in your fork.
-1. When you're ready, [create a new merge request](../../user/project/merge_requests/creating_merge_requests.md).
-1. In the merge request's description:
- - Ensure you provide complete and accurate information.
- - Review the provided checklist.
-1. Once you're ready, mark your MR as ready for review with `@gitlab-bot ready`.
- - This will add the `~"workflow::ready for review"` label, and then automatically assign a merge request coach as reviewer.
- - If you know a relevant reviewer (for example, someone that was involved a related issue), you can also
- assign them directly with `@gitlab-bot ready @username`.
+1. [Request access](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-community/meta#request-access-to-community-forks) to the [GitLab Community fork](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-community/meta). Alternatively, you can create your own public fork, but will miss out on the [benefits of the community forks](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-community/meta#why).
+1. Some GitLab projects have a detailed contributing guide located in the README or CONTRIBUTING files in the repo. Reviewing these files before setting up your development environment will help ensure you get off to a good start.
+1. Do one of the following:
+ - To run the development environment locally, download and set up the
+ [GitLab Development Kit](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-development-kit).
+ See the [GDK README](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-development-kit/blob/main/README.md) for setup instructions
+ and [Troubleshooting](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-development-kit/-/blob/main/doc/troubleshooting.md) if you get stuck.
+
+ - GDK is heavy. If you need to build something fast, by trial and error,
+ consider doing so with an empty rails app and port it to GDK after.
+
+ - To run a pre-configured GDK instance in the cloud, use [GDK with Gitpod](../../integration/gitpod.md).
+ From a project's repository, select the caret (angle-down) next to **Web IDE**,
+ and select **Gitpod** from the list.
+1. If you want to contribute to the [website](https://about.gitlab.com/) or the [handbook](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/),
+ go to the footer of any page and select **Edit in Web IDE** to open the [Web IDE](../../user/project/web_ide/index.md).
+
+### Open a merge request
+
+Now [Open a merge request](../../user/project/merge_requests/creating_merge_requests.md)
+to merge your code and its documentation. The earlier you open a merge request, the sooner
+you can get feedback. You can [mark it as a draft](../../user/project/merge_requests/drafts.md)
+to signal that you’re not done yet.
+
+1. In the merge request, fill out all the information requested in the template,
+ like why you are introducing these changes and a link to the issue this merge request is attempting to close/fix.
+1. [Add tests if needed](../testing_guide/best_practices.md), as well as [a changelog entry](../changelog.md).
+1. If the change impacts users or admins, [update the documentation](../documentation/index.md).
+
+For details, see the [merge request workflow](merge_request_workflow.md).
+
+#### How community merge requests are triaged
+
+1. When you create a merge request, the [`@gitlab-bot`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-bot) automatically applies
+ the ["~Community contribution"](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/quality/triage-operations/#ensure-quick-feedback-for-community-contributions) label.
+1. In the 24-48 hours after you create the merge request, a
+ [Merge Request Coach](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/marketing/community-relations/contributor-success/merge-request-coach-lifecycle.html)
+ will review your merge request and apply stage, group, and type labels.
+1. If a merge request was not automatically assigned, ask for a review by typing `@gitlab-bot ready` in a comment.
+ If your code has not been assigned a reviewer within two working days of its initial submission, you can ask
+ for help with `@gitlab-bot help`.
+1. The Merge Request Coach will assign the relevant reviewers or tackle the review themselves if possible.
+
+The goal is to have a merge request reviewed within a week after a reviewer is assigned. At times this may take longer due to high workload, holidays, or other reasons.

-## Labels
-
-To allow for asynchronous issue handling, we use [milestones](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/milestones)
-and [labels](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/labels). Leads and product managers handle most of the
-scheduling into milestones. Labeling is a task for everyone. (For some projects, labels can be set only by GitLab team members and not by community contributors).
-
-Most issues will have labels for at least one of the following:
-
-- Type. For example: `~"type::feature"`, `~"type::bug"`, or `~"type::maintenance"`.
-- Stage. For example: `~"devops::plan"` or `~"devops::create"`.
-- Group. For example: `~"group::source code"`, `~"group::knowledge"`, or `~"group::editor"`.
-- Category. For example: `~"Category:Code Analytics"`, `~"Category:DevOps Reports"`, or `~"Category:Templates"`.
-- Feature. For example: `~wiki`, `~ldap`, `~api`, `~issues`, or `~"merge requests"`.

-- Severity: `~"severity::1"`, `~"severity::2"`, `~"severity::3"`, `~"severity::4"`
-
-Please add `~"breaking change"` label if the issue can be considered as a [breaking change](../deprecation_guidelines/index.md).
-
-Please add `~security` label if the issue is related to application security.
-
-All labels, their meaning and priority are defined on the
-[labels page](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/labels).
-
-If you come across an issue that has none of these, and you're allowed to set
-labels, you can _always_ add the type, stage, group, and often the category/feature labels.
-
-### Type labels
-
-Type labels are very important. They define what kind of issue this is. Every
-issue should have one and only one.
-
-The SSOT for type and subtype labels is [available in the handbook](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/metrics/#work-type-classification).
-
-A number of type labels have a priority assigned to them, which automatically
-makes them float to the top, depending on their importance.
-
-Type labels are always lowercase, and can have any color, besides blue (which is
-already reserved for category labels).
-
-The descriptions on the [labels page](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/labels)
-explain what falls under each type label.
-
-The GitLab handbook documents [when something is a bug](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/product-processes/#bug-issues) and [when it is a feature request](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/product-processes/#feature-issues).
-
-### Stage labels
-
-Stage labels specify which [stage](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/categories/#hierarchy) the issue belongs to.
-
-#### Naming and color convention
-
-Stage labels respects the `devops::<stage_key>` naming convention.
-`<stage_key>` is the stage key as it is in the single source of truth for stages at
-<https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/blob/master/data/stages.yml>
-with `_` replaced with a space.
-
-For instance, the "Manage" stage is represented by the `~"devops::manage"` label in
-the `gitlab-org` group since its key under `stages` is `manage`.
-
-The current stage labels can be found by [searching the labels list for `devops::`](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/labels?search=devops::).
-
-These labels are [scoped labels](../../user/project/labels.md#scoped-labels)
-and thus are mutually exclusive.
-
-The Stage labels are used to generate the [direction pages](https://about.gitlab.com/direction/) automatically.
-
-### Group labels
-
-Group labels specify which [groups](https://about.gitlab.com/company/team/structure/#product-groups) the issue belongs to.
-
-It's highly recommended to add a group label, as it's used by our triage
-automation to
-[infer the correct stage label](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/quality/triage-operations/#auto-labelling-of-issues-and-merge-requests).
-
-#### Naming and color convention
-
-Group labels respects the `group::<group_key>` naming convention and
-their color is `#A8D695`.
-`<group_key>` is the group key as it is in the single source of truth for groups at
-<https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/blob/master/data/stages.yml>,
-with `_` replaced with a space.
-
-For instance, the "Pipeline Execution" group is represented by the
-~"group::pipeline execution" label in the `gitlab-org` group since its key
-under `stages.manage.groups` is `pipeline_execution`.
-
-The current group labels can be found by [searching the labels list for `group::`](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/labels?search=group::).
-
-These labels are [scoped labels](../../user/project/labels.md#scoped-labels)
-and thus are mutually exclusive.
-
-You can find the groups listed in the [Product Stages, Groups, and Categories](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/categories/) page.
-
-We use the term group to map down product requirements from our product stages.
-As a team needs some way to collect the work their members are planning to be assigned to, we use the `~group::` labels to do so.
-
-### Category labels
-
-From the handbook's
-[Product stages, groups, and categories](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/categories/#hierarchy)
-page:
-
-> Categories are high-level capabilities that may be a standalone product at
-another company, such as Portfolio Management, for example.
-
-It's highly recommended to add a category label, as it's used by our triage
-automation to
-[infer the correct group and stage labels](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/quality/triage-operations/#auto-labelling-of-issues).
-
-If you are an expert in a particular area, it makes it easier to find issues to
-work on. You can also subscribe to those labels to receive an email each time an
-issue is labeled with a category label corresponding to your expertise.
-
-#### Naming and color convention
-
-Category labels respects the `Category:<Category Name>` naming convention and
-their color is `#428BCA`.
-`<Category Name>` is the category name as it is in the single source of truth for categories at
-<https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/blob/master/data/categories.yml>.
-
-For instance, the "DevOps Reports" category is represented by the
-~"Category:DevOps Reports" label in the `gitlab-org` group since its
-`devops_reports.name` value is "DevOps Reports".
-
-If a category's label doesn't respect this naming convention, it should be specified
-with [the `label` attribute](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/marketing/digital-experience/website/#category-attributes)
-in <https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/blob/master/data/categories.yml>.
-
-### Feature labels
-
-From the handbook's
-[Product stages, groups, and categories](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/categories/#hierarchy)
-page:
-
-> Features: Small, discrete functionalities, for example Issue weights. Some common
-features are listed within parentheses to facilitate finding responsible PMs by keyword.
-
-It's highly recommended to add a feature label if no category label applies, as
-it's used by our triage automation to
-[infer the correct group and stage labels](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/quality/triage-operations/#auto-labelling-of-issues).
-
-If you are an expert in a particular area, it makes it easier to find issues to
-work on. You can also subscribe to those labels to receive an email each time an
-issue is labeled with a feature label corresponding to your expertise.
-
-Examples of feature labels are `~wiki`, `~ldap`, `~api`, `~issues`, and `~"merge requests"`.
-
-#### Naming and color convention
-
-Feature labels are all-lowercase.
-
-### Facet labels
-
-To track additional information or context about created issues, developers may
-add _facet labels_. Facet labels are also sometimes used for issue prioritization
-or for measurements (such as time to close). An example of a facet label is the
-~customer label, which indicates customer interest.
-
-### Department labels
-
-The current department labels are:
-
-- ~UX
-- ~Quality
-
-### Team labels
-
-**Important**: Most of the historical team labels (like Manage or Plan) are
-now deprecated in favor of [Group labels](#group-labels) and [Stage labels](#stage-labels).
-
-Team labels specify what team is responsible for this issue.
-Assigning a team label makes sure issues get the attention of the appropriate
-people.
-
-The current team labels are:
-
-- ~Delivery
-- ~"Technical Writing"
-
-#### Naming and color convention
-
-Team labels are always capitalized so that they show up as the first label for
-any issue.
-
-### Specialization labels
-
-These labels narrow the [specialization](https://about.gitlab.com/company/team/structure/#specialist) on a unit of work.
-
-- ~frontend
-- ~backend
-- ~documentation
-
-### Release scoping labels
-
-Release Scoping labels help us clearly communicate expectations of the work for the
-release. There are three levels of Release Scoping labels:
-
-- ~Deliverable: Issues that are expected to be delivered in the current
- milestone.
-- ~Stretch: Issues that are a stretch goal for delivering in the current
- milestone. If these issues are not done in the current release, they will
- strongly be considered for the next release.
-- ~"Next Patch Release": Issues to put in the next patch release. Work on these
- first, and add the `~"Pick into X.Y"` label to the merge request, along with the
- appropriate milestone.
-
-Each issue scheduled for the current milestone should be labeled ~Deliverable
-or ~"Stretch". Any open issue for a previous milestone should be labeled
-~"Next Patch Release", or otherwise rescheduled to a different milestone.
-
-### Priority labels
-
-We have the following priority labels:
-
-- ~"priority::1"
-- ~"priority::2"
-- ~"priority::3"
-- ~"priority::4"
-
-Please refer to the issue triage [priority label](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/quality/issue-triage/#priority) section in our handbook to see how it's used.
-
-### Severity labels
-
-We have the following severity labels:
-
-- ~"severity::1"
-- ~"severity::2"
-- ~"severity::3"
-- ~"severity::4"
-
-Please refer to the issue triage [severity label](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/quality/issue-triage/#severity) section in our handbook to see how it's used.
-
-### Label for community contributors
-
-There are many issues that have a clear solution with uncontroversial benefit to GitLab users.
-However, GitLab might not have the capacity for all these proposals in the current roadmap.
-These issues are labeled ~"Seeking community contributions" because we welcome merge requests to resolve them.
-
-Community contributors can submit merge requests for any issue they want, but
-the ~"Seeking community contributions" label has a special meaning. It points to
-changes that:
-
-1. We already agreed on,
-1. Are well-defined,
-1. Are likely to get accepted by a maintainer.
-
-We want to avoid a situation when a contributor picks an
-~"Seeking community contributions" issue and then their merge request gets closed,
-because we realize that it does not fit our vision, or we want to solve it in a
-different way.
-
-We manually add the ~"Seeking community contributions" label to issues
-that fit the criteria described above.
-We do not automatically add this label, because it requires human evaluation.
-
-We recommend people that have never contributed to any open source project to
-look for issues labeled `~"Seeking community contributions"` with a
-[weight of 1](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/issues?sort=created_date&state=opened&label_name[]=Seeking+community+contributions&assignee_id=None&weight=1) or the `~"good for new contributors"`
-[label](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues?scope=all&state=opened&label_name[]=good%20for%20new%20contributors&assignee_id=None)
-attached to it.
-More experienced contributors are very welcome to tackle
-[any of them](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/issues?sort=created_date&state=opened&label_name[]=Seeking+community+contributions&assignee_id=None).
-
-For more complex features that have a weight of 2 or more and clear scope, we recommend looking at issues
-with the [label `~"Community Challenge"`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues?sort=created_date&state=opened&label_name[]=Seeking+community+contributions&label_name[]=Community+challenge).
-If your MR for the `~"Community Challenge"` issue gets merged, you will also have a chance to win a custom
-GitLab merchandise.
-
-If you've decided that you would like to work on an issue, please @-mention
-the [appropriate product manager](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/#who-to-talk-to-for-what)
-as soon as possible. The product manager will then pull in appropriate GitLab team
-members to further discuss scope, design, and technical considerations. This will
-ensure that your contribution is aligned with the GitLab product and minimize
-any rework and delay in getting it merged into main.
-
-GitLab team members who apply the ~"Seeking community contributions" label to an issue
-should update the issue description with a responsible product manager, inviting
-any potential community contributor to @-mention per above.
-
-### Stewardship label
-
-For issues related to the open source stewardship of GitLab,
-there is the ~"stewardship" label.
-
-This label is to be used for issues in which the stewardship of GitLab
-is a topic of discussion. For instance if GitLab Inc. is planning to add
-features from GitLab EE to GitLab CE, related issues would be labeled with
-~"stewardship".
-
-A recent example of this was the issue for
-[bringing the time tracking API to GitLab CE](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/25517#note_20019084).

-## Technical and UX debt
-
-In order to track things that can be improved in the GitLab codebase,
-we use the ~"technical debt" label in the [GitLab issue tracker](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues).
-We use the ~"UX debt" label when we choose to deviate from the MVC, in a way that harms the user experience.

-To create a merge request:
-
-1. [Fork](../../user/project/repository/forking_workflow.md) the project into
- your personal namespace (or group) on GitLab.com.
-1. Create a feature branch in your fork (don't work off your [default branch](../../user/project/repository/branches/default.md)).
-1. Follow the [commit messages guidelines](#commit-messages-guidelines).
-1. If you have multiple commits, combine them into a few logically organized commits.
-1. Push the commits to your working branch in your fork.
-1. Submit a merge request (MR) against the default branch of the upstream project.
-1. The MR title should describe the change you want to make.
-1. The MR description should give a reason for your change.

+## Secure and sensible defaults
+
+ClickHouse instances should follow these security recommendations:
+
+### Users
+
+Files: `users.xml` and `config.xml`.
+
+| Topic | Security Requirement | Reason |
+| ----- | -------------------- | ------ |
+| [`user_name/password`](https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/operations/settings/settings-users/#user-namepassword) | Usernames **must not** be blank. Passwords **must** use `password_sha256_hex` and **must not** be blank. | `plaintext` and `password_double_sha1_hex` are insecure. If username isn't specified, [`default` is used with no password](https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/operations/settings/settings-users/). |
+| [`access_management`](https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/operations/settings/settings-users/#access_management-user-setting) | Use Server [configuration files](https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/operations/configuration-files) `users.xml` and `config.xml`. Avoid SQL-driven workflow. | SQL-driven workflow implies that at least one user has `access_management` which can be avoided via configuration files. These files are easier to audit and monitor too, considering that ["You can't manage the same access entity by both configuration methods simultaneously."](https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/operations/access-rights/#access-control). |
+| [`user_name/networks`](https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/operations/settings/settings-users/#user-namenetworks) | At least one of `<ip>`, `<host>`, `<host_regexp>` **must** be set. Do not use `<ip>::/0</ip>` to open access for any network. | Network controls. ([Trust cautiously](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/security/architecture/#trust-cautiously) principle) |
+| [`user_name/profile`](https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/operations/settings/settings-users/#user-nameprofile) | Use profiles to set similar properties across multiple users and set limits (from the user interface). | [Least privilege](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/security/architecture/#assign-the-least-privilege-possible) principle and limits. |
+| [`user_name/quota`](https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/operations/settings/settings-users/#user-namequota) | Set quotas for users whenever possible. | Limit resource usage over a period of time or track the use of resources. |
+| [`user_name/databases`](https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/operations/settings/settings-users/#user-namedatabases) | Restrict access to data, and avoid users with full access. | [Least privilege](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/security/architecture/#assign-the-least-privilege-possible) principle. |

+
+### Storage
+
+| Topic | Security Requirement | Reason |
+| ----- | -------------------- | ------ |
+| Permissions | ClickHouse runs by default with the `clickhouse` user. Running as `root` is never needed. Use the principle of least privileges for the folders: `/etc/clickhouse-server`, `/var/lib/clickhouse`, `/var/log/clickhouse-server`. These folders must belong to the `clickhouse` user and group, and no other system user must have access to them. | Default passwords, ports and rules are "open doors". ([Fail securely & use secure defaults](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/security/architecture/#fail-securely--use-secure-defaults) principle) |
+| Encryption | Use an encrypted storage for logs and data if RED data is processed. On Kubernetes, the [StorageClass](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/storage-classes/) used must be encrypted. | Encrypt data at rest. ([Defense in depth](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/security/architecture/#implement-defense-in-depth)) |
+
+### Logging
+
+| Topic | Security Requirement | Reason |
+| ----- | -------------------- | ------ |
+| `logger` | `Log` and `errorlog` **must** be defined and writable by `clickhouse`. | Make sure logs are stored. |
+| SIEM | If hosted on GitLab.com, the ClickHouse instance or cluster **must** report [logs to our SIEM](https://internal-handbook.gitlab.io/handbook/security/infrastructure_security_logging/tooling/devo/) (internal link). | [GitLab logs critical information system activity](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/security/audit-logging-policy.html). |
+| Log sensitive data | Query masking rules **must** be used if sensitive data can be logged. See [example masking rules](#example-masking-rules). | [Column level encryption](https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/sql-reference/functions/encryption-functions/) can be used and leak sensitive data (keys) in logs. |

+# Merge request analytics with ClickHouse
+
+The [merge request analytics feature](../../../user/analytics/merge_request_analytics.md)
+shows statistics about the merged merge requests in the project and also exposes record-level metadata.
+Aggregations include:
+
+- **Average time to merge**: The duration between the creation time and the merge time.
+- **Monthly aggregations**: A chart of 12 months of the merged merge requests.
+
+Under the chart, the user can see the paginated list of merge requests, 12 months per page.
+
+You can filter by:
+
+- Author
+- Assignee
+- Labels
+- Milestone
+- Source branch
+- Target branch
+
+## Current performance problems
+
+- The aggregation queries require specialized indexes, which cost additional
+ disk space (index-only scans).
+- Querying the whole 12 months is slow (statement timeout). Instead, the frontend
+ requests data per month (12 database queries).
+- Even with specialized indexes, making the feature available on the group level
+ would not be feasible due to the large volume of merge requests.
+
+## Example queries
+
+Get the number of merge requests merged in a given month:
+
+```sql
+SELECT COUNT(*)
+FROM "merge_requests"
+INNER JOIN "merge_request_metrics" ON "merge_request_metrics"."merge_request_id" = "merge_requests"."id"
+WHERE (NOT EXISTS
+ (SELECT 1
+ FROM "banned_users"
+ WHERE (merge_requests.author_id = banned_users.user_id)))
+ AND "merge_request_metrics"."target_project_id" = 278964
+ AND "merge_request_metrics"."merged_at" >= '2022-12-01 00:00:00'
+ AND "merge_request_metrics"."merged_at" <= '2023-01-01 00:00:00'
+```
+
+The `merge_request_metrics` table was de-normalized (by adding `target_project_id`)
+to improve the first-page load time. The query itself works well for smaller date ranges,
+however, it can time out as the date range increases.
+
+After an extra filter is added, the query becomes more complex because it must also
+filter the `merge_requests` table:
+
+```sql
+SELECT COUNT(*)
+FROM "merge_requests"
+INNER JOIN "merge_request_metrics" ON "merge_request_metrics"."merge_request_id" = "merge_requests"."id"
+WHERE (NOT EXISTS
+ (SELECT 1
+ FROM "banned_users"
+ WHERE (merge_requests.author_id = banned_users.user_id)))
+ AND "merge_requests"."author_id" IN
+ (SELECT "users"."id"
+ FROM "users"
+ WHERE (LOWER("users"."username") IN (LOWER('ahegyi'))))
+ AND "merge_request_metrics"."target_project_id" = 278964
+ AND "merge_request_metrics"."merged_at" >= '2022-12-01 00:00:00'
+ AND "merge_request_metrics"."merged_at" <= '2023-01-01 00:00:00'
+```
+
+To calculate mean time to merge, we also query the total time between the
+merge request creation time and merge time.
+
+```sql
+SELECT EXTRACT(epoch
+ FROM SUM(AGE(merge_request_metrics.merged_at, merge_request_metrics.created_at)))
+FROM "merge_requests"
+INNER JOIN "merge_request_metrics" ON "merge_request_metrics"."merge_request_id" = "merge_requests"."id"
+WHERE (NOT EXISTS
+ (SELECT 1
+ FROM "banned_users"
+ WHERE (merge_requests.author_id = banned_users.user_id)))
+ AND "merge_requests"."author_id" IN
+ (SELECT "users"."id"
+ FROM "users"
+ WHERE (LOWER("users"."username") IN (LOWER('ahegyi'))))
+ AND "merge_request_metrics"."target_project_id" = 278964
+ AND "merge_request_metrics"."merged_at" >= '2022-08-01 00:00:00'
+ AND "merge_request_metrics"."merged_at" <= '2022-09-01 00:00:00'
+ AND "merge_request_metrics"."merged_at" > "merge_request_metrics"."created_at"
+LIMIT 1
+```
+
+## Store merge request data in ClickHouse
+
+Several other use cases exist for storing and querying merge request data in
+ClickHouse. In this document, we focus on this particular feature.
+
+The core data exists in the `merge_request_metrics` and in the `merge_requests`
+database tables. Some filters require extra tables to be joined:
+
+- `banned_users`: Filter out merge requests created by banned users.
+- `labels`: A merge request can have one or more assigned labels.
+- `assignees`: A merge request can have one or more assignees.
+- `merged_at`: The `merged_at` column is located in the `merge_request_metrics` table.
+
+The `merge_requests` table contains data that can be filtered directly:
+
+- **Author**: via the `author_id` column.
+- **Milestone**: via the `milestone_id` column.
+- **Source branch**.
+- **Target branch**.
+- **Project**: via the `project_id` column.
+
+### Keep ClickHouse data up to date
+
+Replicating or syncing the `merge_requests` table is unfortunately not enough.
+Separate queries to associated tables are required to insert one de-normalized
+`merge_requests` row into the ClickHouse database.
+
+Change detection is non-trivial to implement. A few corners we could cut:
+
+- The feature is available for GitLab Premium and GitLab Ultimate customers.
+ We don't have to sync all the data, but instead sync only the `merge_requests` records
+ which are part of licensed groups.
+- Data changes (often) happen via the `MergeRequest` services, where bumping the
+ `updated_at` timestamp column is mostly consistent. Some sort of incremental
+ synchronization process could be implemented.
+- We only need to query the merged merge requests. After the merge, the record rarely changes.
+
+### Database table structure
+
+The database table structure uses de-normalization to make all required columns
+available in one database table. This eliminates the need for `JOINs`.
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE merge_requests
+(
+ `id` UInt64,
+ `project_id` UInt64 DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL,
+ `author_id` UInt64 DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL,
+ `milestone_id` UInt64 DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL,
+ `label_ids` Array(UInt64) DEFAULT [] NOT NULL,
+ `assignee_ids` Array(UInt64) DEFAULT [] NOT NULL,
+ `source_branch` String DEFAULT '' NOT NULL,
+ `target_branch` String DEFAULT '' NOT NULL,
+ `merged_at` DateTime64(6, 'UTC') NOT NULL,
+ `created_at` DateTime64(6, 'UTC') DEFAULT now() NOT NULL,
+ `updated_at` DateTime64(6, 'UTC') DEFAULT now() NOT NULL
+)
+ENGINE = ReplacingMergeTree(updated_at)
+ORDER BY (project_id, merged_at, id);
+```
+
+Similarly to the [activity data example](gitlab_activity_data.md), we use the
+`ReplacingMergeTree` engine. Several columns of the merge request record may change,
+so keeping the table up-to-date is important.
+
+The database table is ordered by the `project_id, merged_at, id` columns. This ordering
+optimizes the table data for our use case: querying the `merged_at` column in a project.
+
+## Rewrite the count query
+
+First, let's generate some data for the table.
+
+```sql
+INSERT INTO merge_requests (id, project_id, author_id, milestone_id, label_ids, merged_at, created_at)
+SELECT id, project_id, author_id, milestone_id, label_ids, merged_at, created_at
+FROM generateRandom('id UInt64, project_id UInt8, author_id UInt8, milestone_id UInt8, label_ids Array(UInt8), merged_at DateTime64(6, \'UTC\'), created_at DateTime64(6, \'UTC\')')
+LIMIT 1000000;
+```
+
+NOTE:
+Some integer data types were cast as `UInt8` so it is highly probable that they
+have same values across different rows.
+
+The original count query only aggregated data for one month. With ClickHouse, we can
+attempt aggregating the data for the whole year.
+
+PostgreSQL-based count query:
+
+```sql
+SELECT COUNT(*)
+FROM "merge_requests"
+INNER JOIN "merge_request_metrics" ON "merge_request_metrics"."merge_request_id" = "merge_requests"."id"
+WHERE (NOT EXISTS
+ (SELECT 1
+ FROM "banned_users"
+ WHERE (merge_requests.author_id = banned_users.user_id)))
+ AND "merge_request_metrics"."target_project_id" = 278964
+ AND "merge_request_metrics"."merged_at" >= '2022-12-01 00:00:00'
+ AND "merge_request_metrics"."merged_at" <= '2023-01-01 00:00:00'
+```
+
+ClickHouse query:
+
+```sql
+SELECT
+ toYear(merged_at) AS year,
+ toMonth(merged_at) AS month,
+ COUNT(*)
+FROM merge_requests
+WHERE
+ project_id = 200
+ AND merged_at BETWEEN '2022-01-01 00:00:00'
+ AND '2023-01-01 00:00:00'
+GROUP BY year, month
+```
+
+The query processed a significantly lower number of rows compared to the generated data.
+The `ORDER BY` clause (primary key) is helping the query execution:
+
+```plaintext
+11 rows in set. Elapsed: 0.010 sec.
+Processed 8.19 thousand rows, 131.07 KB (783.45 thousand rows/s., 12.54 MB/s.)
+```
+
+## Rewrite the Mean time to merge query
+
+The query calculates the mean time to merge as:
+`duration(created_at, merged_at) / merge_request_count`. The calculation is done in
+two separate steps:
+
+1. Request the monthly counts and the monthly duration values.
+1. Sum the counts to get the yearly count.
+1. Sum the durations to get the yearly duration.
+1. Divide the durations by the count.
+
+In ClickHouse, we can calculate the mean time to merge with one query:
+
+```sql
+SELECT
+ SUM(
+ dateDiff('second', merged_at, created_at) / 3600 / 24
+ ) / COUNT(*) AS mean_time_to_merge -- mean_time_to_merge is in days
+FROM merge_requests
+WHERE
+ project_id = 200
+ AND merged_at BETWEEN '2022-01-01 00:00:00'
+ AND '2023-01-01 00:00:00'
+```
+
+## Filtering
+
+The database queries above can be used as base queries. You can add more filters.
+For example, filtering for a label and a milestone:
+
+```sql
+SELECT
+ toYear(merged_at) AS year,
+ toMonth(merged_at) AS month,
+ COUNT(*)
+FROM merge_requests
+WHERE
+ project_id = 200
+ AND milestone_id = 15
+ AND has(label_ids, 118)
+ AND -- array includes 118
+ merged_at BETWEEN '2022-01-01 00:00:00'
+ AND '2023-01-01 00:00:00'
+GROUP BY year, month
+```
+
+Optimizing a particular filter is usually done with a database index. This particular
+query reads 8000 rows:
+
+```plaintext
+1 row in set. Elapsed: 0.016 sec.
+Processed 8.19 thousand rows, 589.99 KB (505.38 thousand rows/s., 36.40 MB/s.)
+```
+
+Adding an index on `milestone_id`:
+
+```sql
+ALTER TABLE merge_requests
+ADD
+ INDEX milestone_id_index milestone_id TYPE minmax GRANULARITY 10;
+ALTER TABLE
+ merge_requests MATERIALIZE INDEX milestone_id_index;
+```
+
+On the generated data, adding the index didn't improve the performance.
+
+### Banned users filter
+
+A recently added feature in GitLab filters out merge requests where the author is
+banned by the admins. The banned users are tracked on the instance level in the
+`banned_users` database table.
+
+#### Idea 1: Enumerate the banned user IDs
+
+This would require no structural changes to the ClickHouse database schema.
+We could query the banned users in the project and filter the values out in query time.
+
+Get the banned users (in PostgreSQL):
+
+```sql
+SELECT user_id FROM banned_users
+```
+
+In ClickHouse
+
+```sql
+SELECT
+ toYear(merged_at) AS year,
+ toMonth(merged_at) AS month,
+ COUNT(*)
+FROM merge_requests
+WHERE
+ author_id NOT IN (1, 2, 3, 4) AND -- banned users
+ project_id = 200
+ AND milestone_id = 15
+ AND has(label_ids, 118) AND -- array includes 118
+ merged_at BETWEEN '2022-01-01 00:00:00'
+ AND '2023-01-01 00:00:00'
+GROUP BY year, month
+```
+
+The problem with this approach is that the number of banned users could increase significantly which would make the query bigger and slower.
+
+#### Idea 2: replicate the `banned_users` table
+
+Assuming that the `banned_users table` doesn't grow to millions of rows, we could
+attempt to periodically sync the whole table to ClickHouse. With this approach,
+a mostly consistent `banned_users` table could be used in the ClickHouse database query:
+
+```sql
+SELECT
+ toYear(merged_at) AS year,
+ toMonth(merged_at) AS month,
+ COUNT(*)
+FROM merge_requests
+WHERE
+ author_id NOT IN (SELECT user_id FROM banned_users) AND
+ project_id = 200 AND
+ milestone_id = 15 AND
+ has(label_ids, 118) AND -- array includes 118
+ merged_at BETWEEN '2022-01-01 00:00:00' AND '2023-01-01 00:00:00'
+GROUP BY year, month
+```
+
+Alternatively, the `banned_users` table could be stored as a
+[dictionary](https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/sql-reference/dictionaries/external-dictionaries/external-dicts)
+to further improve the query performance.
+
+#### Idea 3: Alter the feature
+
+For analytical calculations, it might be acceptable to drop this particular filter.
+This approach assumes that including the merge requests of banned users doesn't skew the statistics significantly.

+> The most recent data is regularly requested but requires only a small amount of space.

+
+<!-- vale gitlab.Simplicity = YES -->
+
+When used with remote storage backends such as
+[Amazon S3](https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/engines/table-engines/mergetree-family/mergetree#table_engine-mergetree-s3),
+this makes a very efficient storage scheme. It allows for storage policies, which
+allows data to be on local disks for a period of time and then move it to object storage.
+
+An [example configuration](https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/engines/table-engines/mergetree-family/mergetree#table_engine-mergetree-multiple-volumes_configure) can look like this:
+
+```xml
+<storage_configuration>
+ <disks>
+ <fast_ssd>
+ <path>/mnt/fast_ssd/clickhouse/</path>
+ </fast_ssd>
+ <gcs>
+ <support_batch_delete>false</support_batch_delete>
+ <type>s3</type>
+ <endpoint>https://storage.googleapis.com/${BUCKET_NAME}/${ROOT_FOLDER}/</endpoint>
+ <access_key_id>${SERVICE_ACCOUNT_HMAC_KEY}</access_key_id>
+ <secret_access_key>${SERVICE_ACCOUNT_HMAC_SECRET}</secret_access_key>
+ <metadata_path>/var/lib/clickhouse/disks/gcs/</metadata_path>
+ </gcs>
+ ...
+ </disks>
+ ...
+ <policies>
+
+ <move_from_local_disks_to_gcs> <!-- policy name -->
+ <volumes>
+ <hot> <!-- volume name -->
+ <disk>fast_ssd</disk> <!-- disk name -->
+ </hot>
+ <cold>
+ <disk>gcs</disk>
+ </cold>
+ </volumes>
+ <move_factor>0.2</move_factor>
+ <!-- The move factor determines when to move data from hot volume to cold.
+ See ClickHouse docs for more details. -->
+ </moving_from_ssd_to_hdd>
+ ....
+</storage_configuration>
+```
+
+In this storage policy, two volumes are defined `hot` and `cold`. After the `hot` volume is filled with occupancy of `disk_size * move_factor`, the data is being moved to Google Cloud Storage (GCS).
+
+If this storage policy is not the default, create tables by attaching the storage policies. For example:
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE key_value_table (
+ event_date Date,
+ key String,
+ value String,
+) ENGINE = MergeTree
+ORDER BY (key)
+PARTITION BY toYYYYMM(event_date)
+SETTINGS storage_policy = 'move_from_local_disks_to_gcs'
+```
+
+NOTE:
+In this storage policy, the move happens implicitly. It is also possible to keep
+_hot_ data on local disks for a fixed period of time and then move them as _cold_.
+
+This approach is possible with
+[Table TTLs](https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/engines/table-engines/mergetree-family/mergetree/#mergetree-table-ttl),
+which are also available with MergeTree table engine.
+
+The ClickHouse documentation shows this feature in detail, in the example of
+[implementing a hot - warm - cold architecture](https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/guides/developer/ttl/#implementing-a-hotwarmcold-architecture).
+
+You can take a similar approach for the example shown above. First, adjust the storage policy:
+
+```xml
+<storage_configuration>
+ ...
+ <policies>
+ <local_disk_and_gcs> <!-- policy name -->
+ <volumes>
+ <hot> <!-- volume name -->
+ <disk>fast_ssd</disk> <!-- disk name -->
+ </hot>
+ <cold>
+ <disk>gcs</disk>
+ </cold>
+ </volumes>
+ </local_disk_and_gcs>
+ ....
+</storage_configuration>
+```
+
+Then create the table as:
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE another_key_value_table (
+ event_date Date,
+ key String,
+ value String,
+) ENGINE = MergeTree
+ORDER BY (key)
+PARTITION BY toYYYYMM(event_date)
+TTL
+ event_date TO VOLUME 'hot',
+ event_date + INTERVAL 1 YEAR TO VOLUME 'cold'
+SETTINGS storage_policy = 'local_disk_and_gcs';
+```
+
+This creates the table so that data older than 1 year (evaluated against the
+`event_date` column) is moved to GCS. Such a storage policy can be helpful for append-only
+tables (like audit events) where only the most recent data is accessed frequently.
+You can drop the data altogether, which can be a regulatory requirement.
+
+We don't mention modifying TTLs in this guide, but that is possible as well.
+See ClickHouse documentation for
+[modifying TTL](https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/sql-reference/statements/alter/ttl/#modify-ttl)
+for details.

+
+[@mbobin](https://gitlab.com/mbobin) created the [`pgai` Ruby Gem](https://gitlab.com/mbobin/pgai/#pgai) that
+greatly simplifies access to a database clone, with support for:
+
+- Access to all database clones listed in the [Postgres.ai instances page](https://console.postgres.ai/gitlab/instances);
+- Multiple `psql` sessions on the same clone.
+
+If you have `AllFeaturesUser` [`psql` access](#access-database-lab-engine), you can follow the steps below to configure
+the `pgai` Gem:
+
+1. To get started, you need to gather some values from the [Postgres.ai instances page](https://console.postgres.ai/gitlab/instances):
+
+ 1. Navigate to the instance that you want to configure and the on right side of the screen.
+ 1. Under **Connection**, select **Connect**. The menu might be collapsed.
+
+ A pop-up with everything that's needed for configuration appears, using this format:
+
+ ```shell
+ dblab init --url http://127.0.0.1:1234 --token TOKEN --environment-id <environment-id>
+ ```
+
+ ```shell
+ ssh -NTML 1234:localhost:<environment-port> <postgresai-user>@<postgresai-proxy> -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa
+ ```
+
+1. Add the following snippet to your SSH configuration file at `~/.ssh/config`, replacing the variable values:
+
+ ```plaintext
+ Host pgai-proxy
+ HostName <postgresai-proxy>
+ User <postgresai-user>
+ IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
+ ```
+
+1. Run the following command so you can accept the server key fingerprint:
+
+ ```shell
+ ssh pgai-proxy
+ ```
+
+1. Run the following commands:
+
+ ```shell
+ gem install pgai
+
+ # Grab an access token: https://console.postgres.ai/gitlab/tokens
+ # GITLAB_USER is your GitLab handle
+ pgai config --dbname=gitlabhq_dblab --prefix=$GITLAB_USER --proxy=pgai-proxy
+
+ # Grab the respective port values from https://console.postgres.ai/gitlab/instances
+ # for the instances you'll be using (in this case, for the `main` database instance)
+ pgai env add --alias main --id <environment-id> --port <environment-port>
+ ```
+
+1. Once this one-time configuration is done, you can use `pgai connect` to connect to a particular database. For
+ instance, to connect to the `main` database:
+
+ ```shell
+ pgai connect main
+ ```
+
+1. Once done with the clone, you can destroy it:
+
+ ```shell
+ pgai destroy main
+ ```
+
+#### Manual access through the Postgres.ai instances page
+
Team members with [`psql` access](#access-database-lab-engine), can gain direct access
to a clone via `psql`. Access to `psql` enables you to see data, not just metadata.

+### Counting records
+
+For tables with a large amount of data, counting records through queries can result
+in timeouts. The `EachBatch` module provides an alternative way to iteratively count
+records. The downside of using `each_batch` is the extra count query which is executed
+on the yielded relation object.
+
+The `each_batch_count` method is a more efficient approach that eliminates the need
+for the extra count query. By invoking this method, the iteration process can be
+paused and resumed as needed. This feature is particularly useful in situations
+where error budget violations are triggered after five minutes, such as when performing
+counting operations within Sidekiq workers.
+
+To illustrate, counting records using `EachBatch` involves invoking an additional
+count query as follows:
+
+```ruby
+count = 0
+
+Issue.each_batch do |relation|
+ count += relation.count
+end
+
+puts count
+```
+
+On the other hand, the `each_batch_count` method enables the counting process to be
+performed more efficiently (counting is part of the iteration query) without invoking
+an extra count query:
+
+```ruby
+count, _last_value = Issue.each_batch_count # last value can be ignored here
+```
+
+Furthermore, the `each_batch_count` method allows the counting process to be paused
+and resumed at any point. This capability is demonstrated in the following code snippet:
+
+```ruby
+stop_at = Time.current + 3.minutes
+
+count, last_value = Issue.each_batch_count do
+ Time.current > stop_at # condition for stopping the counting
+end
+
+# Continue the counting later
+stop_at = Time.current + 3.minutes
+
+count, last_value = Issue.each_batch_count(last_count: count, last_value: last_value) do
+ Time.current > stop_at
+end
+```

+# Database load balancing
+
+With database load balancing, read-only queries can be distributed across multiple
+PostgreSQL nodes to increase performance.
+
+This documentation provides a technical overview on how database load balancing
+is implemented in GitLab Rails and Sidekiq.
+
+## Nomenclature
+
+1. **Host**: Each database host. It could be a primary or a replica.
+1. **Primary**: Primary PostgreSQL host that is used for write-only and read-and-write operations.
+1. **Replica**: Secondary PostgreSQL hosts that are used for read-only operations.
+1. **Workload**: a Rails request or a Sidekiq job that requires database connections.
+
+## Components
+
+F few Ruby classes are involved in the load balancing process. All of them are
+in the namespace `Gitlab::Database::LoadBalancing`:
+
+1. `Host`
+1. `LoadBalancer`
+1. `ConnectionProxy`
+1. `Session`
+
+Each workload begins with a new instance of `Gitlab::Database::LoadBalancing::Session`.
+The `Session` keeps track of the database operations that have been performed. It then
+determines if the workload requires a connection to either the primary host or a replica host.
+
+When the workload requires a database connection through `ActiveRecord`,
+`ConnectionProxy` first redirects the connection request to `LoadBalancer`.
+`ConnectionProxy` requests either a `read` or `read_write` connection from the `LoadBalancer`
+depending on a few criteria:
+
+1. Whether the query is a read-only or it requires write.
+1. Whether the `Session` has recorded a write operation previously.
+1. Whether any special blocks have been used to prefer primary or replica, such as:
+ - `use_primary`
+ - `ignore_writes`
+ - `use_replicas_for_read_queries`
+ - `fallback_to_replicas_for_ambiguous_queries`
+
+`LoadBalancer` then yields the requested connection from the respective database connection pool.
+It yields either:
+
+- A `read_write` connection from the primary's connection pool.
+- A `read` connection from the replicas' connection pools.
+
+When responding to a request for a `read` connection, `LoadBalancer` would
+first attempt to load balance the connection across the replica hosts.
+It looks for the next `online` replica host and yields a connection from the host's connection pool.
+A replica host is considered `online` if it is up-to-date with the primary, based on
+either the replication lag size or time. The thresholds for these requirements are configurable.

+
+### Long running migrations being finalized
+
+If a migration takes a long time, it could cause a large number of customers to encounter timeouts
+during upgrades. The increased support volume may cause us to introduce a required stop. While any
+background migration may cause these issues with particularly large customers, we typically only
+introduce stops when the impact is widespread.
+
+- **Cause:** When an upgrade takes more than an hour, omnibus times out.
+- **Mitigation:** Schedule finalization for the first minor version after the next required stop.
+
+### Improperly finalized background migrations
+
+You may need to introduce a required stop for mitigation when:
+
+- A background migration is not finalized, and
+- A migration is written that depends on that background migration.
+
+- **Cause:** The dependent migration may fail if the background migration is incomplete.
+- **Mitigation:** Ensure that all background migrations are finalized before authoring dependent migrations.
+
+### Remove a migration
+
+If a migration is removed, you may need to introduce a required stop to ensure customers
+don't miss the required change.
+
+- **Cause:** Dependent migrations may fail, or the application may not function, because a required
+ migration was removed.
+- **Mitigation:** Ensure migrations are only removed after they've been a part of a planned
+ required stop.
+
+### A migration timestamp is very old
+
+If a migration timestamp is very old (> 3 weeks, or after a before the last stop),
+these scenarios may cause issues:
+
+- If the migration depends on another migration with a newer timestamp but introduced in a
+ previous release _after_ a required stop, then the new migration may run sequentially sooner
+ than the prerequisite migration, and thus fail.
+- If the migration timestamp ID is before the last, it may be inadvertently squashed when the
+ team squashes other migrations from the required stop.
+
+- **Cause:** The migration may fail if it depends on a migration with a later timestamp introduced
+ in an earlier version. Or, the migration may be inadvertently squashed after a required stop.
+- **Mitigation:** Aim for migration timestamps to fall inside the release dates and be sure that
+ they are not dated prior to the last required stop.
+
+### Bugs in migration related tooling
+
+In a few circumstances, bugs in migration related tooling has required us to introduce stops. While we aim
+to prevent these in testing, sometimes they happen.

+### Hash Partitioning
+
+Hash partitioning splits a logical table into a series of partitioned
+tables. Each partition corresponds to the ID range that matches
+a hash and remainder. For example, if partitioning `BY HASH(id)`, rows

+When hash partitioning, you must include a `WHERE hashed_column = ?` condition in

+
+Hash partitioning has one main advantage: it is the only type of partitioning that
+can enforce uniqueness on a single numeric `id` column. (While also possible with
+range partitioning, it's rarely the correct choice).
+
+Hash partitioning has downsides:
+
+- The number of partitions must be known up-front.
+- It's difficult to move new data to an extra partition if current partitions become too large.
+- Range queries, such as `WHERE id BETWEEN ? and ?`, are unsupported.
+- Lookups by other keys, such as `WHERE other_id = ?`, are unsupported.
+
+For this reason, it's often best to choose a large number of hash partitions to accommodate future table growth.

+supports distributed tracing with Jaeger out-of-the-box. GDK automatically adds
+`GITLAB_TRACING` environment variables to add services.
+
+Configure GDK for Jaeger by editing the `gdk.yml` file and adding the following
+settings:
+
+```yaml
+tracer:
+ build_tags: tracer_static tracer_static_jaeger
+ jaeger:
+ enabled: true
+ listen_address: 127.0.0.1

-[performance-bar](../administration/monitoring/performance/performance_bar.md). This can be shown
-by typing `p` `b` in the browser window.
+After modifying the `gdk.yml` file, reconfigure your GDK by running
+the `gdk reconfigure` command. This ensures that your GDK is properly configured
+and ready to use.
+
+The above configuration sets the `tracer_static` and `tracer_static_jaeger`
+build tags when rebuilding services written in Go for the first time. Any
+changes made afterward require rebuilding them with those build tags. You can
+either:
+
+- Add those build tags to the default set of build tags.
+- Manually attach them to the build command. For example, Gitaly supports adding
+ build tag out of the box. You can run

+- Do not include `(Experiment)` or `(Beta)` in the left nav.

+the `FLAG:` note should be above these details.
+
+For example:
+
+```markdown
+## Great new feature (Experiment)
+
+> [Introduced](link) in GitLab 15.10. This feature is an [Experiment](<link_to>/policy/alpha-beta-support.md).
+
+FLAG:
+On self-managed GitLab, by default this feature is not available.
+To make it available, ask an administrator to enable the feature flag named `example_flag`.
+On GitLab.com, this feature is not available. This feature is not ready for production use.
+
+Use this great new feature when you need to do this new thing.
+
+This feature is an [Experiment](<link_to>/policy/alpha-beta-support.md). To join
+the list of users testing this feature, do this thing. If you find a bug,
+[open an issue](link).
+```
+
+When the feature is ready for production, remove:
+
+- The text in parentheses.
+- Any language about the feature not being ready for production in the body
+ description.
+- The feature flag information if available.
+
+Ensure the version history is up-to-date by adding a note about the production release.

+ and edit it from there.
+- Try installing and running the [Vale linting tool](testing.md#vale)
+ and fixing the resulting issues.
+
+When you're developing code, the workflow for updating docs is slightly different.
+For details, see the [merge request workflow](../contributing/merge_request_workflow.md).
+
+## Search available issues
+
+If you're looking for an open issue, you can
+[review the list of documentation issues curated specifically for new contributors](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/?sort=created_date&state=opened&label_name%5B%5D=documentation&label_name%5B%5D=docs-only&label_name%5B%5D=Seeking%20community%20contributions&first_page_size=20).
+
+When you find an issue you'd like to work on:
+
+- If the issue is already assigned to someone, pick a different one.
+- If the issue is unassigned, add a comment and ask to work on the issue. For a Hackathon, use `@docs-hackathon`. Otherwise, use `@gl-docsteam`. For example:
+
+ ```plaintext
+ @docs-hackathon I would like to work on this issue
+ ```
+
+- Do not ask for more than three issues at a time.
+
+## Open your merge request
+
+When you are ready to update the documentation:
+
+1. Go to the [GitLab repository](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab).
+1. In the upper-right corner, select **Fork**. Forking makes a copy of the repository on GitLab.com.
+1. In your fork, find the documentation page in the `\doc` directory.
+1. If you know Git, make your changes and open a merge request.
+ If not, follow these steps:
+ 1. In the upper-right corner, select **Edit** if it is visible.
+ If it is not, select the down arrow (**{chevron-lg-down}**) next to
+ **Open in Web IDE** or **Gitpod**, and select **Edit**.
+ 1. In the **Commit message** text box, enter a commit message.
+ Use 3-5 words, start with a capital letter, and do not end with a period.
+ 1. Select **Commit changes**.
+ 1. On the left sidebar, select **Merge requests**.
+ 1. Select **New merge request**.
+ 1. For the source branch, select your fork and branch. If you did not create a branch, select `master`.
+ For the target branch, select the [GitLab repository](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab) `master` branch.
+ 1. Select **Compare branches and continue**. A new merge request opens.
+ 1. Select the **Documentation** template. In the description, write a brief summary of the changes and link to the related issue, if there is one.
+ 1. Select **Create merge request**.
+
+## Ask for help
+
+Ask for help from the Technical Writing team if you:
+
+- Need help to choose the correct place for documentation.
+- Want to discuss a documentation idea or outline.
+- Want to request any other help.
+
+To identify someone who can help you:
+
+1. Locate the Technical Writer for the relevant
+ [DevOps stage group](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/ux/technical-writing/#assignments).
+1. Either:
+ - If urgent help is required, directly assign the Technical Writer in the issue or in the merge request.
+ - If non-urgent help is required, ping the Technical Writer in the issue or merge request.
+
+If you are a member of the GitLab Slack workspace, you can request help in the `#docs` channel.

+# Glossary topic type
+
+A glossary provides a list of unfamiliar terms and their definitions to help users understand a specific
+GitLab feature.
+
+Each glossary item provides a single term and its associated definition. The definition should answer the questions:
+
+- **What** is this?
+- **Why** would you use it?
+
+For glossary terms:
+
+- Do not use jargon.
+- Do not use internal terminology or acronyms.
+- Ensure the correct usage is defined in the [word list](../styleguide/word_list.md).
+
+## Alternatives to glossaries
+
+Glossaries should provide short, concise term-definition pairs.
+
+- If a definition requires more than a brief explanation, use a concept topic instead.
+- If you find yourself explaining how to use the feature, use a task topic instead.
+
+## Glossary example
+
+Glossary topics should be in this format. Use an unordered list primarily. You can use a table if you need to apply
+additional categorization.
+
+Try to include glossary topics on pages that explain the feature, rather than as a standalone page.
+
+```markdown
+## FeatureName glossary
+
+This glossary provides definitions for terms related to FeatureName.
+
+- **Term A**: Term A does this thing.
+- **Term B**: Term B does this thing.
+- **Term C**: Term C does this thing.
+```
+
+If you use the table format:
+
+```markdown
+## FeatureName glossary
+
+This glossary provides definitions for terms related to FeatureName.
+
+| Term | Definition | Additional category |
+|--------|-------------------------|---------------------|
+| Term A | Term A does this thing. | |
+| Term B | Term B does this thing. | |
+| Term C | Term C does this thing. | |
+```
+
+## Glossary topic titles
+
+Use `FeatureName glossary`.
+
+Don't use alternatives to `glossary`. For example:
+
+- `Terminology`
+- `Glossary of terms`
+- `Glossary of common terms`
+- `Definitions`

-Anyone can contribute to the GitLab documentation! You can create a merge request for documentation when:
+Documentation at GitLab follows a workflow.
-- You find errors or other room for improvement in existing documentation.
-- You have an idea for all-new documentation that would help a GitLab user or administrator to
- accomplish their work with GitLab.
+## Before merging
-If you are working on a feature or enhancement, use the
-[feature workflow process described in the GitLab Handbook](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/ux/technical-writing/workflow/#documentation-for-a-product-change).
+Ensure your documentation includes:
-## Do not use ChatGPT or AI-generated content for the docs
-
-GitLab documentation is distributed under the [CC BY-SA 4.0 license](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/), which presupposes that GitLab owns the documentation.
-
-Under current law in the US and the EU, it’s possible that AI-generated works might either:
-
-- not be owned by anyone because they weren't created by a human, or
-- belong to the AI training data’s creator, if the AI verbatim reproduces content that it trained on
-
-If the documentation contains AI-generated content, GitLab probably wouldn't own this content, which would risk invalidating the CC BY-SA 4.0 license.

+- The GitLab [version](versions.md) that introduced the feature.
+- Accurate [links](styleguide/index.md#links).
+- Accurate [user permissions](../../user/permissions.md).
-Contributions to GitLab documentation are made under either our [DCO or our CLA terms](https://about.gitlab.com/community/contribute/dco-cla/). In both, contributors have to make certain certifications about the authorship of their work that they can't validly make for AI-generated text.
-
-For these reasons, do not add AI-generated content to the documentation.
-
-## How to update the docs
-
-If you are not a GitLab team member, or do not have the Developer role for the GitLab repository, to update GitLab documentation:
-
-1. Select an [issue](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/ux/technical-writing/#community-contribution-opportunities) you'd like to work on.
- - For a Hackathon, mention `@docs-hackathon` in a comment and ask for the issue to be assigned to you.
- To be fair to other contributors, if you see someone has already asked to work on the issue, choose another issue.
- - If you're not taking part in a Hackathon, you don't need an issue to open a merge request.
- If you are looking for issues to work on and don't see any that suit you, you can always fix [Vale](testing.md#vale) issues.
-1. Go to the [GitLab repository](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab).
-1. In the upper right, select **Fork**. Forking makes a copy of the repository on GitLab.com.
-1. In your fork, find the documentation page in the `\doc` directory.
-1. If you know Git, make your changes and open a merge request.
- If not, follow these steps:
- 1. In the upper right, select **Edit** if it is visible. If it is not, select the down arrow (**{chevron-lg-down}**) next to **Open in Web IDE** or **Gitpod**, and select **Edit**.
- 1. In the **Commit message** text box, enter a commit message. Use 3-5 words, start with a capital letter, and do not end with a period.
- 1. Select **Commit changes**.
- 1. On the left sidebar, select **Merge requests**.
- 1. Select **New merge request**.
- 1. For the source branch, select your fork and branch. If you did not create a branch, select `master`.
- For the target branch, select the [GitLab repository](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab) `master` branch.
- 1. Select **Compare branches and continue**. A new merge request opens.
- 1. Select the **Documentation** template. In the description, write a brief summary of the changes and link to the related issue, if there is one.
- 1. Select **Create merge request**.

-- The [Word list](styleguide/word_list.md)
-- The [Markdown Guide](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/markdown-guide/).
-
-### Ask for help
-
-Ask for help from the Technical Writing team if you:
-
-- Need help to choose the correct place for documentation.
-- Want to discuss a documentation idea or outline.
-- Want to request any other help.
-
-To identify someone who can help you:
-
-1. Locate the Technical Writer for the relevant
- [DevOps stage group](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/ux/technical-writing/#assignments).
-1. Either:
- - If urgent help is required, directly assign the Technical Writer in the issue or in the merge request.
- - If non-urgent help is required, ping the Technical Writer in the issue or merge request.
-
-If you are a member of the GitLab Slack workspace, you can request help in `#docs`.

+To update MailRoom:
-#### Rationale
-
-This was done because to avoid [thread deadlocks](https://github.com/ruby/net-imap/issues/14), `MailRoom` needs
-an updated version of the `net-imap` gem. However, this
-[version of the net-imap cannot be installed by an unprivileged user](https://github.com/ruby/net-imap/issues/14) due to
-[an error installing the digest gem](https://github.com/ruby/digest/issues/14).
-[This bug in the Ruby interpreter](https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17761) was fixed in Ruby
-3.0.2.
-
-Updating the gem directly in the GitLab Rails `Gemfile` caused a [production incident](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/production/-/issues/4053)
-since Kubernetes pods do not run as privileged users.
-
-Note that Omnibus GitLab runs `/opt/gitlab/embedded/bin/mail_room`
-instead of `bundle exec rake` to avoid loading the older version. With a
-Kubernetes install, the MailRoom version has always been explicitly set
-in the Helm Chart configuration rather than the `Gemfile`.
-
-#### Preserving backwards compatibility
-
-Removing the `Gemfile` would break incoming email processing for source
-installs. For now, source installs are advised to upgrade manually to
-the version specified in Omnibus and run `bin/mail_room` directly as
-done with Omnibus.
-
-We can reconsider this deprecation once we upgrade to Ruby 3.0.

+
+# clauses can be chained
+expect(page).to be_axe_clean.within('[data-testid="element"]')
+ .according_to(:wcag2aa)
+```
+
+Axe does not test hidden regions, such as inactive menus or modal windows. To test
+hidden regions for accessibility, write tests that activate or render the regions visible
+and run the matcher again.

-#### Using type policies with reactive variables
-
-Apollo Client 3 offers an alternative to [client-side resolvers](#using-client-side-resolvers) by using
-[reactive variables to store client state](https://www.apollographql.com/docs/react/local-state/reactive-variables/).
-
-**NOTE:**
-We are still learning the best practices for both **type policies** and **reactive vars**.
-Take a moment to improve this guide or [leave a comment](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/frontend/rfcs/-/issues/100)
-if you use it!
-
-In the example below we define a `@client` query and its `typedefs`:
-
-```javascript
-// ./graphql/typedefs.graphql
-extend type Query {
- localData: String!
-}
-```
-
-```javascript
-// ./graphql/get_local_data.query.graphql
-query getLocalData {
- localData @client
-}
-```
-
-Similar to resolvers, your `typePolicies` execute when the `@client` query is used. However,
-using `makeVar` triggers every relevant active Apollo query to reactively update when the state
-mutates.
-
-```javascript
-// ./graphql/local_state.js
-
-import { makeVar } from '@apollo/client/core';
-import typeDefs from './typedefs.graphql';
-
-export const createLocalState = () => {
- // set an initial value
- const localDataVar = makeVar('');
-
- const cacheConfig = {
- typePolicies: {
- Query: {
- fields: {
- localData() {
- // obtain current value
- // triggers when `localDataVar` is updated
- return localDataVar();
- },
- },
- },
- },
- };
-
- // methods that update local state
- const localMutations = {
- setLocalData(newData) {
- localDataVar(newData);
- },
- clearData() {
- localDataVar('');
- },
- };
-
- return {
- cacheConfig,
- typeDefs,
- localMutations,
- };
-};
-```
-
-Pass the cache configuration to your Apollo Client:
-
-```javascript
-// index.js
-
-// ...
-import createDefaultClient from '~/lib/graphql';
-import { createLocalState } from './graphql/local_state';
-
-const { cacheConfig, typeDefs, localMutations } = createLocalState();
-
-const apolloProvider = new VueApollo({
- defaultClient: createDefaultClient({}, { cacheConfig, typeDefs }),
-});
-
-return new Vue({
- el,
- apolloProvider,
- provide: {
- // inject local state mutations to your app
- localMutations,
- },
- render(h) {
- return h(MyApp);
- },
-});
-```
-
-Wherever used, the local query updates as the state updates thanks to the **reactive variable**.
-
### Using with Vuex
-When the Apollo Client is used in Vuex and fetched data is stored in the Vuex store, the Apollo Client cache does not need to be enabled. Otherwise we would have data from the API stored in two places - Vuex store and Apollo Client cache. With Apollo's default settings, a subsequent fetch from the GraphQL API could result in fetching data from Apollo cache (in the case where we have the same query and variables). To prevent this behavior, we need to disable Apollo Client cache by passing a valid `fetchPolicy` option to its constructor:
-
-```javascript
-import fetchPolicies from '~/graphql_shared/fetch_policy_constants';
-
-export const gqClient = createGqClient(
- {},
- {
- fetchPolicy: fetchPolicies.NO_CACHE,
- },
-);
-```
+We do not recommend creating new applications with Vuex and Apollo Client combined

-#### Testing Apollo components
-
-If we use `ApolloQuery` or `ApolloMutation` in our components, to test their functionality we need to add a stub first:
-
-```javascript
-import { ApolloMutation } from 'vue-apollo';
-
-function createComponent(props = {}) {
- wrapper = shallowMount(MyComponent, {
- sync: false,
- propsData: {
- ...props,
- },
- stubs: {
- ApolloMutation,
- },
- });
-}
-```
-
-`ApolloMutation` component exposes `mutate` method via scoped slot. If we want to test this method, we need to add it to mocks:
-
-```javascript
-const mutate = jest.fn().mockResolvedValue();
-const $apollo = {
- mutate,
-};
-
-function createComponent(props = {}) {
- wrapper = shallowMount(MyComponent, {
- sync: false,
- propsData: {
- ...props,
- },
- stubs: {
- ApolloMutation,
- },
- mocks: {
- $apollo,
- }
- });
-}
-```
-
-Then we can check if `mutate` is called with correct variables:
-
-```javascript
-const mutationVariables = {
- mutation: createNoteMutation,
- update: expect.anything(),
- variables: {
- input: {
- noteableId: 'noteable-id',
- body: 'test',
- discussionId: '0',
- },
- },
-};
-
-it('calls mutation on submitting form ', () => {
- createComponent()
- findReplyForm().vm.$emit('submitForm');
-
- expect(mutate).toHaveBeenCalledWith(mutationVariables);
-});
-```

#### Mocking Apollo Client
To test the components with Apollo operations, we need to mock an Apollo Client in our unit tests. We use [`mock-apollo-client`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mock-apollo-client) library to mock Apollo client and [`createMockApollo` helper](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/spec/frontend/__helpers__/mock_apollo_helper.js) we created on top of it.

+## Error handling
+
+When catching a server-side error, you should use the error message
+utility function contained in `app/assets/javascripts/lib/utils/error_message.js`.
+This utility accepts two parameters: the error object received from the server response and a
+default error message. The utility examines the message in the error object for a prefix that
+indicates whether the message is meant to be user-facing or not. If the message is intended
+to be user-facing, the utility returns it as is. Otherwise, it returns the default error
+message passed as a parameter.
+
+```javascript
+import { parseErrorMessage } from '~/lib/utils/error_message';
+
+onError(error) {
+ const errorMessage = parseErrorMessage(error, genericErrorText);
+}
+```
+
+To benefit from this parsing mechanism, the utility user should ensure that the server-side
+code is aware of this utility's usage and prefixes the error messages where appropriate
+before sending them back to the user. See
+[Error handling for API](../../api_styleguide.md#error-handling) for more information.

+ For example, you may want to test the output of a component when after a particular watcher has

### Accessing component state
1. When accessing props or attributes, prefer the `wrapper.props('myProp')` syntax over
`wrapper.props().myProp` or `wrapper.vm.myProp`:
- ```javascript
- // good
- expect(wrapper.props().myProp).toBe(true);

- expect(wrapper.attributes('myAttr')).toBe(true);
- ```
+ // better
+ expect(wrapper.props('myProp').toBe(true);
+ expect(wrapper.attributes('myAttr')).toBe(true);
+ ```
1. When asserting multiple props, check the deep equality of the `props()` object with
[`toEqual`](https://jestjs.io/docs/expect#toequalvalue):
- ```javascript
- // good
- expect(wrapper.props('propA')).toBe('valueA');
- expect(wrapper.props('propB')).toBe('valueB');
- expect(wrapper.props('propC')).toBe('valueC');
-
- // better
- expect(wrapper.props()).toEqual({
- propA: 'valueA',
- propB: 'valueB',
- propC: 'valueC',
- });
- ```
+ ```javascript
+ // good
+ expect(wrapper.props('propA')).toBe('valueA');
+ expect(wrapper.props('propB')).toBe('valueB');
+ expect(wrapper.props('propC')).toBe('valueC');
+
+ // better
+ expect(wrapper.props()).toEqual({
+ propA: 'valueA',
+ propB: 'valueB',
+ propC: 'valueC',
+ });
+ ```
1. If you are only interested in some of the props, you can use
[`toMatchObject`](https://jestjs.io/docs/expect#tomatchobjectobject). Prefer `toMatchObject`
over [`expect.objectContaining`](https://jestjs.io/docs/expect#expectobjectcontainingobject):
- ```javascript
- // good
- expect(wrapper.props()).toEqual(expect.objectContaining({
- propA: 'valueA',
- propB: 'valueB',
- }));
+ ```javascript
+ // good

+ }));
+

+ expect(wrapper.props()).toMatchObject({
+ propA: 'valueA',
+ propB: 'valueB',
+ });
+ ```
+
+### Testing props validation
+
+1. When checking component props use `assertProps` helper. Props validation failures will be thrown as errors
- // better
- expect(wrapper.props()).toMatchObject({
- propA: 'valueA',
- propB: 'valueB',
- });
- ```
+```javascript

+## When to add Vue application
+
+Sometimes, HAML page is enough to satisfy requirements. This statement is correct primarily for the static pages or pages that have very little logic. How do we know it's worth adding a Vue application to the page? The answer is "when we need to maintain application state and synchronize the rendered page with it".
+
+To better explain this, let's imagine the page that has one toggle, and toggling it sends an API request. This case does not involve any state we want to maintain, we send the request and switch the toggle. However, if we add one more toggle that should always be the opposite to the first one, we need a _state_: one toggle should be "aware" about the state of another one. When written in plain JavaScript, this logic usually involves listening to DOM event and reacting with modifying DOM. Cases like this are much easier to handle with Vue.js so we should create a Vue application here.
+
+### What are some flags signaling that you might need Vue application?
+
+- when you need to define complex conditionals based on multiple factors and update them on user interaction;
+- when you have to maintain any form of application state and share it between tags/elements;
+- when you expect complex logic to be added in the future - it's easier to start with basic Vue application than having to rewrite JS/HAML to Vue on the next step.

+### Vue Router
+
+To add [Vue Router](https://router.vuejs.org/) to a page:
+
+1. Add a catch-all route to the Rails route file using a wildcard named `*vueroute`:
+
+ ```ruby
+ # example from ee/config/routes/project.rb
+
+ resources :iteration_cadences, path: 'cadences(/*vueroute)', action: :index
+ ```
+
+ The above example serves the `index` page from `iteration_cadences` controller to any route
+ matching the start of the `path`, for example `groupname/projectname/-/cadences/123/456/`.
+1. Pass the base route (everything before `*vueroute`) to the frontend to use as the `base` parameter to initialize Vue Router:
+
+ ```haml
+ .js-my-app{ data: { base_path: project_iteration_cadences_path(project) } }
+ ```
+
+1. Initialize the router:
+
+ ```javascript
+ Vue.use(VueRouter);
+
+ export function createRouter(basePath) {
+ return new VueRouter({
+ routes: createRoutes(),
+ mode: 'history',
+ base: basePath,
+ });
+ }
+ ```
+
+1. Add a fallback for unrecognised routes with `path: '*'`. Either:
+ - Add a redirect to the end of your routes array:
+
+ ```javascript
+ const routes = [
+ {
+ path: '/',
+ name: 'list-page',
+ component: ListPage,
+ },
+ {
+ path: '*',
+ redirect: '/',
+ },
+ ];
+ ```
+
+ - Add a fallback component to the end of your routes array:
+
+ ```javascript
+ const routes = [
+ {
+ path: '/',
+ name: 'list-page',
+ component: ListPage,
+ },
+ {
+ path: '*',
+ component: NotFound,
+ },
+ ];
+ ```
+
+1. Optional. To also allow using the path helper for child routes, add `controller` and `action`
+ parameters to use the parent controller.
+
+ ```ruby
+ resources :iteration_cadences, path: 'cadences(/*vueroute)', action: :index do
+ resources :iterations, only: [:index, :new, :edit, :show], constraints: { id: /\d+/ }, controller: :iteration_cadences, action: :index
+ end
+ ```
+
+ This means routes like `/cadences/123/iterations/456/edit` can be validated on the backend,
+ for example to check group or project membership.
+ It also means we can use the `_path` helper, which means we can load the page in feature specs
+ without manually building the `*vueroute` part of the path..

-When there's a clear benefit to separating state management from components (for example, due to state complexity) we recommend using [Vuex](https://vuex.vuejs.org) over any other Flux pattern. Otherwise, feel free to manage state in the components.
-
-Vuex should be strongly considered when:
-
-- You expect multiple parts of the application to react to state changes.
-- There's a need to share data between multiple components.
-- There are complex interactions with Backend, for example, multiple API calls.
-- The app involves interacting with backend via both traditional REST API and GraphQL (especially when moving the REST API over to GraphQL is a pending backend task).
+[Vuex](https://vuex.vuejs.org) should no longer be considered a preferred path to store management and is currently in its legacy phase. This means it is acceptable to add upon existing `Vuex` stores, but we strongly recommend reducing store sizes over time and eventually migrating fully to [Apollo](https://www.apollographql.com/) whenever it's possible. Before adding any new `Vuex` store to an application, first ensure that the `Vue` application you plan to add it into **does not use** `Apollo`. `Vuex` and `Apollo` should not be combined unless absolutely necessary. Please consider reading through [our GraphQL documentation](../fe_guide/graphql.md) for more guidelines on how you can build `Apollo` based applications.

+# GraphQL API merge request checklist
+
+The GitLab GraphQL API has a fair degree of complexity so it's important that merge requests containing GraphQL changes be reviewed by someone familiar with GraphQL.
+You can ping one via the `@gitlab-org/graphql-experts` group in a MR or in the [`#f_graphql` channel](https://gitlab.slack.com/archives/C6MLS3XEU) in Slack (available to GitLab team members only).
+
+GraphQL queries need to be reviewed for:
+
+- breaking changes
+- authorization
+- performance
+
+## Review criteria
+
+This is not an exhaustive list.
+
+### Description with sample query
+
+Ensure that the description includes a sample query with setup instructions.
+Try running the query in [GraphiQL](../api_graphql_styleguide.md#graphiql) on your local GDK instance.
+
+### No breaking changes (unless after full deprecation cycle)
+
+Check the MR for any [breaking changes](../api_graphql_styleguide.md#breaking-changes).
+
+If a feature is marked as an [Experiment](../api_graphql_styleguide.md#mark-schema-items-as-alpha), you can make breaking changes immediately, with no deprecation period.
+
+For more information, see [deprecation and removal process](../../api/graphql/index.md#deprecation-and-removal-process).
+
+### Multiversion compatibility
+
+Ensure that multi-version compatibility is guaranteed.
+This generally means frontend and backend code for the same GraphQL feature can't be shipped in the same release.
+
+For details, see [multiple version compatibility](../multi_version_compatibility.md).
+
+### Technical writing review
+
+Changes to the generated API docs require a technical writer review.
+
+### Changelog
+
+Public-facing changes that are not marked as an [Experiment](../api_graphql_styleguide.md#mark-schema-items-as-alpha) require a [changelog entry](../changelog.md).
+
+### Use the framework
+
+GraphQL is a framework with many moving parts. It's important that the framework is followed.
+
+- Do not manually invoke framework bits. For example, do not instantiate resolvers during execution and instead let the framework do that.
+- You can subclass resolvers, as in `MyResolver.single` (see [deriving resolvers](../api_graphql_styleguide.md#deriving-resolvers)).
+- Use the `ready?` method for more complex argument logic (see [correct use of resolver#ready](../api_graphql_styleguide.md#correct-use-of-resolverready)).
+- Use the `prepare` method for more complex argument validation (see [validating arguments](../api_graphql_styleguide.md#validating-arguments)).
+
+For details, see [resolver guide](../api_graphql_styleguide.md#writing-resolvers).
+
+### Authorization
+
+Ensure proper authorization is followed and that `authorize :some_ability` is tested in the specs.
+
+For details, see [authorization guide](authorization.md).
+
+### Performance
+
+Ensure:
+
+- You avoid N+1s with [BatchLoader](batchloader.md) or [Lookahead](../api_graphql_styleguide.md#look-ahead) when appropriate.
+- You use [laziness](../api_graphql_styleguide.md#laziness) appropriately.
+
+### Use appropriate types
+
+For example:
+
+- [`TimeType`](../api_graphql_styleguide.md#typestimetype) for Ruby `Time` and `DateTime` objects.
+- Global IDs for `id` fields
+
+For details, see [types](../api_graphql_styleguide.md#types).
+
+### Appropriate complexity
+
+Query complexity is a way of quantifying how expensive a query is likely to be. Query complexity limits are defined as constants in the schema.
+When a resolver or type is expensive to call we need to ensure that the query complexity reflects that.
+
+For details, see [max complexity](../api_graphql_styleguide.md#max-complexity), [field complexity](../api_graphql_styleguide.md#field-complexity) and [query limits](../api_graphql_styleguide.md#query-limits).
+
+### Testing
+
+- Resolver (unit) specs are deprecated in favour of request (integration) specs.
+- Many aspects of our framework are outside the `resolve` method and a request spec is the only way to ensure they behave properly.
+- Every GraphQL change MR should ideally have changes to API specs.
+
+For details, see [testing guide](../api_graphql_styleguide.md#testing).

This method takes longer to import than the other methods and depends on several factors. It's recommended to use the other methods.
-### Importing via a Rake task
-
-> The [Rake task](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/lib/tasks/gitlab/import_export/import.rake) was [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/20724) in GitLab 12.6, replacing a GitLab.com Ruby script.
-
-This script was introduced in GitLab 12.6 for importing large GitLab project exports.
-
-As part of this script we also disable direct upload to avoid situations where a huge archive is being uploaded to GCS (while being inside a transaction, which can cause idle transaction timeouts).
-
-We can run this script from the terminal:
-
-Parameters:
-
-| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
-| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
-| `username` | string | yes | User name |
-| `namespace_path` | string | yes | Namespace path |
-| `project_path` | string | yes | Project name |
-| `archive_path` | string | yes | Path to the exported project tarball you want to import |
-
-```shell
-bundle exec rake "gitlab:import_export:import[root, group/subgroup, testingprojectimport, /path/to/file.tar.gz]"
-```
-
-If you're running Omnibus, run the following Rake task:
-
-```shell
-gitlab-rake "gitlab:import_export:import[root, group/subgroup, testingprojectimport, /path/to/file.tar.gz]"
-```
-
-#### Enable verbose output
-
-To make the import Rake task more verbose, use the `IMPORT_DEBUG` environment variable:
-
-```shell
-IMPORT_DEBUG=true gitlab-rake "gitlab:import_export:import[root, group/subgroup, testingprojectimport, /path/to/file.tar.gz]"
-```
-
-#### Troubleshooting
-
-Check the common errors listed below, what they mean, and how to fix them.
-
-##### `Exception: undefined method 'name' for nil:NilClass`
-
-The `username` is not valid.
-
-##### `Exception: undefined method 'full_path' for nil:NilClass`
-
-The `namespace_path` does not exist.
-For example, one of the groups or subgroups is mistyped or missing
-or you've specified the project name in the path.
-
-The task only creates the project.
-If you want to import it to a new group or subgroup then create it first.
-
-##### `Exception: No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - (filename)`
-
-The specified project export file in `archive_path` is missing.
-
-##### `Exception: Permission denied @ rb_sysopen - (filename)`
-
-The specified project export file cannot be accessed by the `git` user.
-
-Setting the file owner to `git:git`, changing the file permissions to `0400`, and moving it to a
-public folder (for example `/tmp/`) fixes the issue.
-
-##### `Name can contain only letters, digits, emojis ...`
-
-```plaintext
-Name can contain only letters, digits, emojis, '_', '.', '+', dashes, or spaces. It must start with a letter,
-digit, emoji, or '_', and Path can contain only letters, digits, '_', '-', or '.'. It cannot start
-with '-', end in '.git', or end in '.atom'.
-```
-
-The project name specified in `project_path` is not valid for one of the specified reasons.
-
-Only put the project name in `project_path`. For example, if you provide a path of subgroups
-it fails with this error as `/` is not a valid character in a project name.
-
-##### `Name has already been taken and Path has already been taken`
-
-A project with that name already exists.
-
-##### `Exception: Error importing repository into (namespace) - No space left on device`
-
-The disk has insufficient space to complete the import.
-
-During import, the tarball is cached in your configured `shared_path` directory. Verify the
-disk has enough free space to accommodate both the cached tarball and the unpacked
-project files on disk.
-
-##### Import is successful, but with a `Total number of not imported relations: XX` message, and issues are not created during the import
-
-If you receive a `Total number of not imported relations: XX` message, and issues
-aren't created during the import, check [exceptions_json.log](../administration/logs/index.md#exceptions_jsonlog).
-You might see an error like `N is out of range for ActiveModel::Type::Integer with limit 4 bytes`,
-where `N` is the integer exceeding the 4-byte integer limit. If that's the case, you
-are likely hitting the issue with rebalancing of `relative_position` field of the issues.
-
-```ruby
-# Check the current maximum value of relative_position
-Issue.where(project_id: Project.find(ID).root_namespace.all_projects).maximum(:relative_position)
-
-# Run the rebalancing process and check if the maximum value of relative_position has changed
-Issues::RelativePositionRebalancingService.new(Project.find(ID).root_namespace.all_projects).execute
-Issue.where(project_id: Project.find(ID).root_namespace.all_projects).maximum(:relative_position)
-```
-
-Repeat the import attempt after that and check if the issues are imported successfully.
-
-##### Gitaly calls error when importing
-
-If you're attempting to import a large project into a development environment, you may see Gitaly throw an error about too many calls or invocations, for example:
-
-```plaintext
-Error importing repository into qa-perf-testing/gitlabhq - GitalyClient#call called 31 times from single request. Potential n+1?
-```
+### Import by using a Rake task
-This is due to a [n+1 calls limit being set for development setups](gitaly.md#toomanyinvocationserror-errors). You can work around this by setting `GITALY_DISABLE_REQUEST_LIMITS=1` as an environment variable, restarting your development environment and importing again.

-# Set up local CodeSandbox development environment (removed)
-
-WARNING:
-This feature was [deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/108627) in GitLab 15.8
-and is planned for removal in 15.9. This change is a breaking change.
-
-This guide walks through setting up a local [CodeSandbox repository](https://github.com/codesandbox/codesandbox-client) and integrating it with a local GitLab instance. CodeSandbox
-is used to power the Web IDE [Live Preview feature](../../user/project/web_ide/index.md#live-preview-removed). Having a local CodeSandbox setup is useful for debugging upstream issues or
-creating upstream contributions like [this one](https://github.com/codesandbox/codesandbox-client/pull/5137).
-
-## Initial setup
-
-Before using CodeSandbox with your local GitLab instance, you must:
-
-1. Enable HTTPS on your GDK. CodeSandbox uses Service Workers that require `https`.
- Follow the GDK [NGINX configuration instructions](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-development-kit/-/blob/main/doc/howto/nginx.md) to enable HTTPS for GDK.
-1. Clone the [`codesandbox-client` project](https://github.com/codesandbox/codesandbox-client)
- locally. If you plan on contributing upstream, you might want to fork and clone first.
-1. Optional. Use correct `python` and `nodejs` versions. Otherwise, `yarn` may fail to
- install or build some packages. If you're using `asdf` you can run the following commands:
-
- ```shell
- asdf local nodejs 10.14.2
- asdf local python 2.7.18
- ```
-
-1. Run the following commands in the `codesandbox-client` project checkout:
-
- ```shell
- # This might be necessary for the `prepublishOnly` job that is run later
- yarn global add lerna
-
- # Install packages
- yarn
- ```
-
- You can run `yarn build:clean` to clean up the build assets.
-
-## Use local GitLab instance with local CodeSandbox
-
-GitLab integrates with two parts of CodeSandbox:
-
-- An npm package called `smooshpack` (called `sandpack` in the `codesandbox-client` project).
- This exposes an entrypoint for us to kick off CodeSandbox's bundler.
-- A server that houses CodeSandbox assets for bundling and previewing. This is hosted
- on a separate server for security.
-
-Each time you want to run GitLab and CodeSandbox together, you need to perform the
-steps in the following sections.
-
-### Use local `smooshpack` for GitLab
-
-GitLab usually satisfies its `smooshpack` dependency with a remote module, but we want
-to use a locally-built module. To build and use a local `smooshpack` module:
-
-1. In the `codesandbox-client` project directory, run:
-
- ```shell
- cd standalone-packages/sandpack
- yarn link
-
- # (Optional) you might want to start a development build
- yarn run start
- ```
-
- Now, in the GitLab project, you can run `yarn link "smooshpack"`. `yarn` looks
- for `smooshpack` **on disk** as opposed to the one hosted remotely.
-
-1. In the `gitlab` project directory, run:
-
- ```shell
- # Remove and reinstall node_modules just to be safe
- rm -rf node_modules
- yarn install
-
- # Use the "smooshpack" package on disk
- yarn link "smooshpack"
- ```
-
-### Fix possible GDK webpack problem
-
-`webpack` in GDK can fail to find packages inside a linked package. This step can help
-you avoid `webpack` breaking with messages saying that it can't resolve packages from
-`smooshpack/dist/sandpack.es5.js`.
-
-In the `codesandbox-client` project directory, run:
-
-```shell
-cd standalone-packages
-
-mkdir node_modules
-ln -s $PATH_TO_LOCAL_GITLAB/node_modules/core-js ./node_modules/core-js
-```
-
-### Start building CodeSandbox app assets
-
-In the `codesandbox-client` project directory:
-
-```shell
-cd packages/app
-
-yarn start:sandpack-sandbox
-```
-
-### Create HTTPS proxy for CodeSandbox `sandpack` assets
-
-Because we need `https`, we need to create a proxy to the webpack server. We can use
-[`http-server`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server), which can do this proxying
-out of the box:
-
-```shell
-npx http-server --proxy http://localhost:3000 -S -C $PATH_TO_CERT_PEM -K $PATH_TO_KEY_PEM -p 8044 -d false
-```
-
-### Update `bundler_url` setting in GitLab (removed)
-
-WARNING:
-This feature was [deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/108627) in GitLab 15.8
-and is planned for removal in 15.9. This change is a breaking change.
-
-We need to update our `application_setting_implementation.rb` to point to the server that hosts the
-CodeSandbox `sandpack` assets. For instance, if these assets are hosted by a server at `https://sandpack.local:8044`:
-
-```patch

-### [Rename "services" to "integrations"](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/2504)
-
-The "integrations" in GitLab were historically called "services", which frequently caused
-confusion with our "service" classes in `app/services`. We sometimes also called
-them "project services" because they were initially only available on projects, which is
-not the case anymore.
-
-We decided to change the naming from "services" and "project services" to "integrations".
-This refactoring is an ongoing effort, and there are still references to the old names in some places.
-
-Developers should be especially aware that we still use the old class names for the STI column
-`integrations.type`. For example, a class `Integrations::FooBar` still stores
-the old name `FooBarService` in the database. This mapping is handled via `Gitlab::Integrations::StiType`
-and should be mostly transparent to the rest of the app.

+# Labels
+
+To allow for asynchronous issue handling, we use [milestones](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/milestones)
+and [labels](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/labels). Leads and product managers handle most of the
+scheduling into milestones. Labeling is a task for everyone. (For some projects, labels can be set only by GitLab team members and not by community contributors).
+
+Most issues will have labels for at least one of the following:
+
+- Type. For example: `~"type::feature"`, `~"type::bug"`, or `~"type::maintenance"`.
+- Stage. For example: `~"devops::plan"` or `~"devops::create"`.
+- Group. For example: `~"group::source code"`, `~"group::knowledge"`, or `~"group::editor"`.
+- Category. For example: `~"Category:Code Analytics"`, `~"Category:DevOps Reports"`, or `~"Category:Templates"`.
+- Feature. For example: `~wiki`, `~ldap`, `~api`, `~issues`, or `~"merge requests"`.
+- Department: `~UX`, `~Quality`
+- Team: `~"Technical Writing"`, `~Delivery`
+- Specialization: `~frontend`, `~backend`, `~documentation`
+- Release Scoping: `~Deliverable`, `~Stretch`, `~"Next Patch Release"`
+- Priority: `~"priority::1"`, `~"priority::2"`, `~"priority::3"`, `~"priority::4"`
+- Severity: `~"severity::1"`, `~"severity::2"`, `~"severity::3"`, `~"severity::4"`
+
+Please add `~"breaking change"` label if the issue can be considered as a [breaking change](../deprecation_guidelines/index.md).
+
+Please add `~security` label if the issue is related to application security.
+
+All labels, their meaning and priority are defined on the
+[labels page](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/labels).
+
+If you come across an issue that has none of these, and you're allowed to set
+labels, you can _always_ add the type, stage, group, and often the category/feature labels.
+
+## Type labels
+
+Type labels are very important. They define what kind of issue this is. Every
+issue should have one and only one.
+
+The SSOT for type and subtype labels is [available in the handbook](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/metrics/#work-type-classification).
+
+A number of type labels have a priority assigned to them, which automatically
+makes them float to the top, depending on their importance.
+
+Type labels are always lowercase, and can have any color, besides blue (which is
+already reserved for category labels).
+
+The descriptions on the [labels page](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/labels)
+explain what falls under each type label.
+
+The GitLab handbook documents [when something is a bug](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/product-processes/#bug-issues) and [when it is a feature request](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/product-processes/#feature-issues).
+
+## Stage labels
+
+Stage labels specify which [stage](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/categories/#hierarchy) the issue belongs to.
+
+### Naming and color convention
+
+Stage labels respects the `devops::<stage_key>` naming convention.
+`<stage_key>` is the stage key as it is in the single source of truth for stages at
+<https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/blob/master/data/stages.yml>
+with `_` replaced with a space.
+
+For instance, the "Manage" stage is represented by the `~"devops::manage"` label in
+the `gitlab-org` group since its key under `stages` is `manage`.
+
+The current stage labels can be found by [searching the labels list for `devops::`](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/labels?search=devops::).
+
+These labels are [scoped labels](../../user/project/labels.md#scoped-labels)
+and thus are mutually exclusive.
+
+The Stage labels are used to generate the [direction pages](https://about.gitlab.com/direction/) automatically.
+
+## Group labels
+
+Group labels specify which [groups](https://about.gitlab.com/company/team/structure/#product-groups) the issue belongs to.
+
+It's highly recommended to add a group label, as it's used by our triage
+automation to
+[infer the correct stage label](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/quality/triage-operations/#auto-labelling-of-issues-and-merge-requests).
+
+### Naming and color convention
+
+Group labels respects the `group::<group_key>` naming convention and
+their color is `#A8D695`.
+`<group_key>` is the group key as it is in the single source of truth for groups at
+<https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/blob/master/data/stages.yml>,
+with `_` replaced with a space.
+
+For instance, the "Pipeline Execution" group is represented by the
+`~"group::pipeline execution"` label in the `gitlab-org` group since its key
+under `stages.manage.groups` is `pipeline_execution`.
+
+The current group labels can be found by [searching the labels list for `group::`](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/labels?search=group::).
+
+These labels are [scoped labels](../../user/project/labels.md#scoped-labels)
+and thus are mutually exclusive.
+
+You can find the groups listed in the [Product Stages, Groups, and Categories](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/categories/) page.
+
+We use the term group to map down product requirements from our product stages.
+As a team needs some way to collect the work their members are planning to be assigned to, we use the `~group::` labels to do so.
+
+## Category labels
+
+From the handbook's
+[Product stages, groups, and categories](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/categories/#hierarchy)
+page:
+
+> Categories are high-level capabilities that may be a standalone product at
+another company, such as Portfolio Management, for example.
+
+It's highly recommended to add a category label, as it's used by our triage
+automation to
+[infer the correct group and stage labels](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/quality/triage-operations/#auto-labelling-of-issues).
+
+If you are an expert in a particular area, it makes it easier to find issues to
+work on. You can also subscribe to those labels to receive an email each time an
+issue is labeled with a category label corresponding to your expertise.
+
+### Naming and color convention
+
+Category labels respects the `Category:<Category Name>` naming convention and
+their color is `#428BCA`.
+`<Category Name>` is the category name as it is in the single source of truth for categories at
+<https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/blob/master/data/categories.yml>.
+
+For instance, the "DevOps Reports" category is represented by the
+`~"Category:DevOps Reports"` label in the `gitlab-org` group since its
+`devops_reports.name` value is "DevOps Reports".
+
+If a category's label doesn't respect this naming convention, it should be specified
+with [the `label` attribute](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/marketing/digital-experience/website/#category-attributes)
+in <https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/blob/master/data/categories.yml>.
+
+## Feature labels
+
+From the handbook's
+[Product stages, groups, and categories](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/categories/#hierarchy)
+page:
+
+> Features: Small, discrete functionalities, for example Issue weights. Some common
+features are listed within parentheses to facilitate finding responsible PMs by keyword.
+
+It's highly recommended to add a feature label if no category label applies, as
+it's used by our triage automation to
+[infer the correct group and stage labels](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/quality/triage-operations/#auto-labelling-of-issues).
+
+If you are an expert in a particular area, it makes it easier to find issues to
+work on. You can also subscribe to those labels to receive an email each time an
+issue is labeled with a feature label corresponding to your expertise.
+
+Examples of feature labels are `~wiki`, `~ldap`, `~api`, `~issues`, and `~"merge requests"`.
+
+### Naming and color convention
+
+Feature labels are all-lowercase.
+
+## Workflow labels
+
+Issues use the following workflow labels to specify the current issue status:
+
+- `~"workflow::awaiting security release"`
+- `~"workflow::blocked"`
+- `~"workflow::complete"`
+- `~"workflow::design"`
+- `~"workflow::feature-flagged"`
+- `~"workflow::in dev"`
+- `~"workflow::in review"`
+- `~"workflow::planning breakdown"`
+- `~"workflow::problem validation"`
+- `~"workflow::production"`
+- `~"workflow::ready for design"`
+- `~"workflow::ready for development"`
+- `~"workflow::refinement"`
+- `~"workflow::scheduling"`
+- `~"workflow::solution validation"`
+- `~"workflow::start"`
+- `~"workflow::validation backlog"`
+- `~"workflow::verification"`
+
+## Facet labels
+
+To track additional information or context about created issues, developers may
+add _facet labels_. Facet labels are also sometimes used for issue prioritization
+or for measurements (such as time to close). An example of a facet label is the
+`~"customer"` label, which indicates customer interest.
+
+## Department labels
+
+The current department labels are:
+
+- `~"UX"`
+- `~"Quality"`
+
+## Team labels
+
+**Important**: Most of the historical team labels (like Manage or Plan) are
+now deprecated in favor of [Group labels](#group-labels) and [Stage labels](#stage-labels).
+
+Team labels specify what team is responsible for this issue.
+Assigning a team label makes sure issues get the attention of the appropriate
+people.
+
+The current team labels are:
+
+- `~"Delivery"~`
+- `~"Technical Writing"`
+
+### Naming and color convention
+
+Team labels are always capitalized so that they show up as the first label for
+any issue.
+
+## Specialization labels
+
+These labels narrow the [specialization](https://about.gitlab.com/company/team/structure/#specialist) on a unit of work.
+
+- `~"frontend"`
+- `~"backend"`
+- `~"documentation"`
+
+## Release scoping labels
+
+Release Scoping labels help us clearly communicate expectations of the work for the
+release. There are three levels of Release Scoping labels:
+
+- `~"Deliverable"`: Issues that are expected to be delivered in the current
+ milestone.
+- `~"Stretch"`: Issues that are a stretch goal for delivering in the current
+ milestone. If these issues are not done in the current release, they will
+ strongly be considered for the next release.
+- `~"Next Patch Release"`: Issues to put in the next patch release. Work on these
+ first, and follow the [patch release runbook](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/release/docs/-/blob/master/general/patch/engineers.md) to backport the bug fix to the current version.
+
+Each issue scheduled for the current milestone should be labeled `~"Deliverable"~`
+or `~"Stretch"`. Any open issue for a previous milestone should be labeled
+`~"Next Patch Release"`, or otherwise rescheduled to a different milestone.
+
+## Priority labels
+
+We have the following priority labels:
+
+- `~"priority::1"`
+- `~"priority::2"`
+- `~"priority::3"`
+- `~"priority::4"`
+
+Please refer to the issue triage [priority label](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/quality/issue-triage/#priority) section in our handbook to see how it's used.
+
+## Severity labels
+
+We have the following severity labels:
+
+- `~"severity::1"`
+- `~"severity::2"`
+- `~"severity::3"`
+- `~"severity::4"`
+
+Please refer to the issue triage [severity label](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/quality/issue-triage/#severity) section in our handbook to see how it's used.
+
+## Label for community contributors
+
+There are many issues that have a clear solution with uncontroversial benefit to GitLab users.
+However, GitLab might not have the capacity for all these proposals in the current roadmap.
+These issues are labeled `~"Seeking community contributions"` because we welcome merge requests to resolve them.
+
+Community contributors can submit merge requests for any issue they want, but
+the `~"Seeking community contributions"` label has a special meaning. It points to
+changes that:
+
+1. We already agreed on,
+1. Are well-defined,
+1. Are likely to get accepted by a maintainer.
+
+We want to avoid a situation when a contributor picks an
+~"Seeking community contributions" issue and then their merge request gets closed,
+because we realize that it does not fit our vision, or we want to solve it in a
+different way.
+
+We manually add the `~"Seeking community contributions"` label to issues
+that fit the criteria described above.
+We do not automatically add this label, because it requires human evaluation.
+
+We recommend people that have never contributed to any open source project to
+look for issues labeled `~"Seeking community contributions"` with a
+[weight of 1](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/issues?sort=created_date&state=opened&label_name[]=Seeking+community+contributions&assignee_id=None&weight=1) or the `~"quick win"`
+[label](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues?scope=all&state=opened&label_name[]=quick%20win&assignee_id=None)
+attached to it.
+More experienced contributors are very welcome to tackle
+[any of them](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/issues?sort=created_date&state=opened&label_name[]=Seeking+community+contributions&assignee_id=None).
+
+For more complex features that have a weight of 2 or more and clear scope, we recommend looking at issues
+with the [label `~"Community Challenge"`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues?sort=created_date&state=opened&label_name[]=Seeking+community+contributions&label_name[]=Community+challenge).
+If your MR for the `~"Community Challenge"` issue gets merged, you will also have a chance to win a custom
+GitLab merchandise.
+
+If you've decided that you would like to work on an issue, please @-mention
+the [appropriate product manager](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/#who-to-talk-to-for-what)
+as soon as possible. The product manager will then pull in appropriate GitLab team
+members to further discuss scope, design, and technical considerations. This will
+ensure that your contribution is aligned with the GitLab product and minimize
+any rework and delay in getting it merged into main.
+
+GitLab team members who apply the `~"Seeking community contributions"` label to an issue
+should update the issue description with a responsible product manager, inviting
+any potential community contributor to @-mention per above.
+
+## Stewardship label
+
+For issues related to the open source stewardship of GitLab,
+there is the `~"stewardship"` label.
+
+This label is to be used for issues in which the stewardship of GitLab
+is a topic of discussion. For instance if GitLab Inc. is planning to add
+features from GitLab EE to GitLab CE, related issues would be labeled with
+`~"stewardship"`.
+
+A recent example of this was the issue for
+[bringing the time tracking API to GitLab CE](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/25517#note_20019084).
+
+## Technical and UX debt
+
+In order to track things that can be improved in the GitLab codebase,
+we use the `~"technical debt"` label in the [GitLab issue tracker](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues).
+We use the `~"UX debt"` label when we choose to deviate from the MVC, in a way that harms the user experience.
+
+These labels should be added to issues that describe things that can be improved,
+shortcuts that have been taken, features that need additional attention, and all
+other things that have been left behind due to high velocity of development.
+For example, code that needs refactoring should use the `~"technical debt"` label,
+something that didn't ship according to our Design System guidelines should
+use the `~"UX debt"` label.
+
+Everyone can create an issue, though you may need to ask for adding a specific
+label, if you do not have permissions to do it by yourself. Additional labels
+can be combined with these labels, to make it easier to schedule
+the improvements for a release.
+
+Issues tagged with these labels have the same priority like issues
+that describe a new feature to be introduced in GitLab, and should be scheduled
+for a release by the appropriate person.
+
+Make sure to mention the merge request that the `~"technical debt"` issue or
+`~"UX debt"` issue is associated with in the description of the issue.

+After authentication the `batch` action is the first action called by the Git LFS
+client during downloads and uploads (such as pull, push, and clone).
+
+### Repositories::LfsStorageController
+
+#### `#upload_authorize`
+
+Provides payload to Workhorse including a path for Workhorse to save the file to. Could be remote object storage.
+
+#### `#upload_finalize`
+
+Handles requests from Workhorse that contain information on a file that workhorse already uploaded (see [this middleware](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/lib/gitlab/middleware/multipart.rb)) so that `gitlab` can either:
+
+- Create an `LfsObject`.
+- Connect an existing `LfsObject` to a project with an `LfsObjectsProject`.
+
+### LfsObject and LfsObjectsProject
+
+- Only one `LfsObject` is created for a file with a given `oid` (a SHA256 checksum of the file) and file size.
+- `LfsObjectsProject` associate `LfsObject`s with `Project`s. They determine if a file can be accessed through a project.
+- These objects are also used for calculating the amount of LFS storage a given project is using.
+ For more information, see
+ [`ProjectStatistics#update_lfs_objects_size`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/app/models/project_statistics.rb#L82-84).
+
+### Repositories::LfsLocksApiController
+
+Handles the lock API for LFS. Delegates mostly to corresponding services:
+
+- `Lfs::LockFileService`
+- `Lfs::UnlockFileService`
+- `Lfs::LocksFinderService`
+
+These services create and delete `LfsFileLock`.
+
+#### `#verify`
+
+- This endpoint responds with a payload that allows a client to check if there are any files being pushed that have locks that belong to another user.
+- A client-side `lfs.locksverify` configuration can be set so that the client aborts the push if locks exist that belong to another user.
+- The existence of locks belonging to other users is also [validated on the server side](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/65f0c6e59121b62c9b0f89b810ef5186969bb4d2/lib/gitlab/checks/diff_check.rb#L69).

-class like so:
-
-```ruby
-class MyMigration < Gitlab::Database::Migration[2.1]
- disable_ddl_transaction!
-
- INDEX_NAME = 'index_name'
-
- def up
- add_concurrent_index :table, :column, name: INDEX_NAME
- end
-
- def down
- remove_concurrent_index :table, :column, name: INDEX_NAME
- end
-end
-```
-
-You must explicitly name indexes that are created with more complex
-definitions beyond table name, column names, and uniqueness constraint.
-Consult the [Adding Database Indexes](database/adding_database_indexes.md#requirements-for-naming-indexes)
-guide for more details.
-
-If you need to add a unique index, please keep in mind there is the possibility
-of existing duplicates being present in the database. This means that should
-always _first_ add a migration that removes any duplicates, before adding the
-unique index.
-
-For a small table (such as an empty one or one with less than `1,000` records),
-it is recommended to use `add_index` in a single-transaction migration, combining it with other
-operations that don't require `disable_ddl_transaction!`.
+Before adding an index, consider if one is necessary. The [Adding Database indexes](database/adding_database_indexes.md) guide contains more details to help you decide if an index is necessary and provides best practices for adding indexes.
## Testing for existence of indexes
-If a migration requires conditional logic based on the absence or
-presence of an index, you must test for existence of that index using
-its name. This helps avoids problems with how Rails compares index definitions,
-which can lead to unexpected results. For more details, review the
-[Adding Database Indexes](database/adding_database_indexes.md#why-explicit-names-are-required)
-guide.
-
-The easiest way to test for existence of an index by name is to use the
-`index_name_exists?` method, but the `index_exists?` method can also
-be used with a name option. For example:
-
-```ruby
-class MyMigration < Gitlab::Database::Migration[2.1]
- INDEX_NAME = 'index_name'
-
- def up
- # an index must be conditionally created due to schema inconsistency
- unless index_exists?(:table_name, :column_name, name: INDEX_NAME)
- add_index :table_name, :column_name, name: INDEX_NAME
- end
- end
-
- def down
- # no op
- end
-end
-```
+If a migration requires conditional logic based on the absence or presence of an index, you must test for existence of that index using its name. This helps avoids problems with how Rails compares index definitions, which can lead to unexpected results.
-Keep in mind that concurrent index helpers like `add_concurrent_index`,
-`remove_concurrent_index`, and `remove_concurrent_index_by_name` already
-perform existence checks internally.

+# Navigation sidebar
+
+Follow these guidelines when contributing additions or changes to the
+[redesigned](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/9044) navigation
+sidebar.
+
+These guidelines reflect the current state of the navigation sidebar. However,
+the sidebar is a work in progress, and so is this documentation.
+
+## Enable the new navigation sidebar
+
+To enable the new navigation sidebar:
+
+- Enable the `super_sidebar_nav` feature flag.
+- Select your avatar, then turn on the **New navigation** toggle.
+
+## Adding items to the sidebar
+
+Before adding an item to the sidebar, ensure you follow [this process](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/ux/navigation/#how-to-propose-a-change-that-impacts-navigation).
+
+## Adding page-specific Vue content
+
+Pages can render arbitrary content into the sidebar using the `SidebarPortal`
+component. Content passed to its default slot is rendered below that
+page's navigation items in the sidebar.
+
+NOTE:
+Only one instance of this component on a given page is supported. This is to
+avoid ordering issues and cluttering the sidebar.
+
+NOTE:
+You can use arbitrary content. You should implement nav items by subclassing `::Sidebars::Panel`.
+If you must use Vue to render nav items (for example, if you need to use Vue Router) you can make an exception.
+However, in the corresponding `panel.rb` file, you must add a comment that explains how the nav items are rendered.
+
+NOTE:
+Do not use the `SidebarPortalTarget` component. It is internal to the sidebar.
+
+## Snowplow Tracking
+
+All clicks on the nav items should be automatically tracked in Snowplow, but may require additional input.
+We use `data-tracking` attributes on all the elements in the nav to send the data up to Snowplow.
+You can test that they're working by [setting up snowplow on your GDK](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-development-kit/-/blob/main/doc/howto/snowplow_micro.md).
+
+| Field | Data attribute | Notes | Example |
+| -- | -- | -- | -- |
+| Category | `data-tracking-category` | The page that the user was on when the item was clicked. | `groups:show` |
+| Action | `data-tracking-action` | The action taken. In most cases this is `click_link` or `click_menu_item` | `click_link` |
+| Label | `data-tracking-label` | A descriptor for what was clicked on. This is inferred by the ID of the item in most cases, but falls back to `item_without_id`. This is one to look out for. | `group_issue_list` |
+| Property | `data-tracking-property` | This describes where in the nav the link was clicked. If it's in the main nav panel, then it needs to describe which panel. | `nav_panel_group` |

+# Organization
+
+The [Organization initiative](../../user/organization/index.md) focuses on reaching feature parity between
+SaaS and self-managed installations.
+
+## Consolidate groups and projects
+
+- [Architecture blueprint](../../architecture/blueprints/consolidating_groups_and_projects/index.md)
+
+One facet of the Organization initiative is to consolidate groups and projects,
+addressing the feature disparity between them. Some features, such as epics, are
+only available at the group level. Some features, such as issues, are only available
+at the project level. Other features, such as milestones, are available to both groups
+and projects.
+
+We receive many requests to add features either to the group or project level.
+Moving features around to different levels is problematic on multiple levels:
+
+- It requires engineering time to move the features.
+- It requires UX overhead to maintain mental models of feature availability.
+- It creates redundant code.
+
+When features are copied from one level (project, group, or instance) to another,
+the copies often have small, nuanced differences between them. These nuances cause
+extra engineering time when fixes are needed, because the fix must be copied to
+several locations. These nuances also create different user experiences when the
+feature is used in different places.
+
+A solution for this problem is to consolidate groups and projects into a single
+entity, `namespace`. The work on this solution is split into several phases and
+is tracked in [epic 6473](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/6473).
+
+## How to plan features that interact with Group and ProjectNamespace
+
+As of now, every Project in the system has a record in the `namespaces` table. This makes it possible to
+use common interface to create features that are shared between Groups and Projects. Shared behavior can be added using
+a concerns mechanism. Because the `Namespace` model is responsible for `UserNamespace` methods as well, it is discouraged
+to use the `Namespace` model for shared behavior for Projects and Groups.
+
+### Resource-based features
+
+To migrate resource-based features, existing functionality will need to be supported. This can be achieved in two Phases.
+
+**Phase 1 - Setup**
+
+- Link into the namespaces table
+ - Add a column to the table
+ - For example, in issues a `project id` points to the projects table. We need to establish a link to the `namespaces` table.
+ - Modify code so that any new record already has the correct data in it
+ - Backfill
+
+**Phase 2 - Prerequisite work**
+
+- Investigate the permission model as well as any performance concerns related to that.
+ - Permissions need to be checked and kept in place.
+- Investigate what other models need to support namespaces for functionality dependent on features you migrate in Phase 1.
+- Adjust CRUD services and APIs (REST and GraphQL) to point to the new column you added in Phase 1.
+- Consider performance when fetching resources.
+
+Introducing new functionality is very much dependent on every single team and feature.
+
+### Settings-related features
+
+Right now, cascading settings are available for `NamespaceSettings`. By creating `ProjectNamespace`,
+we can use this framework to make sure that some settings are applicable on the project level as well.
+
+When working on settings, we need to make sure that:
+
+- They are not used in `join` queries or modify those queries.
+- Updating settings is taken into consideration.
+- If we want to move from project to project namespace, we follow a similar database process to the one described in Phase 1.

- If the finder accepts `current_user`, and doesn't check permissions, then it would be a good idea to double check other usages of the finder, and we might consider adding authorization.
- If the finder accepts `current_user`, and already checks permissions, then either we need to add our case, or the existing checks are appropriate.
+
+### Refactoring permissions
+
+#### Finding existing permissions checks
+
+As mentioned [above](#where-should-permissions-be-checked), permissions are
+often checked in multiple locations for a single endpoint or web request. As a
+result, finding the list of authorization checks that are run for a given endpoint
+can be challenging.
+
+To assist with this, you can locally set `GITLAB_DEBUG_POLICIES=true`.
+
+This outputs information about which abilities are checked in the requests
+made in any specs that you run. The output also includes the line of code where the
+authorization check was made. Caller information is especially helpful in cases
+where there is metaprogramming used because those cases are difficult to find by
+grepping for ability name strings.
+
+Example:
+
+```shell
+# example spec run
+
+GITLAB_DEBUG_POLICIES=true bundle exec rspec spec/controllers/groups_controller_spec.rb:162
+
+# permissions debug output when spec is run; if multiple policy checks are run they will all be in the debug output.
+
+POLICY CHECK DEBUG -> policy: GlobalPolicy, ability: create_group, called_from: ["/gitlab/app/controllers/application_controller.rb:245:in `can?'", "/gitlab/app/controllers/groups_controller.rb:255:in `authorize_create_group!'"]
+```
+
+This flag is meant to help learn more about authorization checks while
+refactoring and should not remain enabled for any specs on the default branch.
+
+#### Understanding logic for individual abilities
+
+References to an ability may appear in a `DeclarativePolicy` class many times
+and depend on conditions and rules which reference other abilities. As a result,
+it can be challenging to know exactly which conditions apply to a particular
+ability.
+
+`DeclarativePolicy` provides a `ability_map` for each Policy class, which
+pulls all Rules for an ability into an array.
+
+Example:
+
+```ruby
+> GroupPolicy.ability_map.map.select { |k,v| k == :read_group_member }
+=> {:read_group_member=>[[:enable, #<Rule can?(:read_group)>], [:prevent, #<Rule ~can_read_group_member>]]}
+
+> GroupPolicy.ability_map.map.select { |k,v| k == :read_group }
+=> {:read_group=>
+ [[:enable, #<Rule public_group>],
+ [:enable, #<Rule logged_in_viewable>],
+ [:enable, #<Rule guest>],
+ [:enable, #<Rule admin>],
+ [:enable, #<Rule has_projects>],
+ [:enable, #<Rule read_package_registry_deploy_token>],
+ [:enable, #<Rule write_package_registry_deploy_token>],
+ [:prevent, #<Rule all?(~public_group, ~admin, user_banned_from_group)>],
+ [:enable, #<Rule auditor>],
+ [:prevent, #<Rule needs_new_sso_session>],
+ [:prevent, #<Rule all?(ip_enforcement_prevents_access, ~owner, ~auditor)>]]}
+```
+
+`DeclarativePolicy` also provides a `debug` method that can be used to
+understand the logic tree for a specific object and actor. The output is similar
+to the list of rules from `ability_map`. But, `DeclarativePolicy` stops
+evaluating rules once one `prevent`s an ability, so it is possible that
+not all conditions are called.
+
+Example:
+
+```ruby
+policy = GroupPolicy.new(User.last, Group.last)
+policy.debug(:read_group)
+

#### Determining predictive RSpec test files in a merge request

+## Merge Trains
+
+### Why do we need to have a “stable” master branch to enable merge trains?
+
+If the master branch is unstable (i.e. CI/CD pipelines for the master branch are failing frequently), all of the merge requests pipelines that were added AFTER a faulty merge request pipeline would have to be **cancelled** and **added back to the train**, which would create a lot of delays if the merge train is long.
+
+### How stable does the master branch have to be for us to enable merge trains?
+
+We don't have a specific number, but we need to have better numbers for flaky tests failures and infrastructure failures (see the [Master Broken Incidents RCA Dashboard](https://app.periscopedata.com/app/gitlab/1082465/Master-Broken-Incidents-Root-Cause-Analysis)).

## Adding a new built-in project template
-This page provides instructions about how to contribute a
-[built-in project template](../user/project/index.md#create-a-project-from-a-built-in-template).
-
-To contribute a built-in project template, you must complete the following tasks:
-
-1. [Create a project template for GitLab review](#create-a-project-template-for-review)
-1. [Add the template SVG icon to GitLab SVGs](#add-the-template-svg-icon-to-gitlab-svgs)
-1. [Create a merge request with vendor details](#create-a-merge-request-with-vendor-details)
-
-You can contribute the following types of project templates:
-
-- Enterprise: For users with GitLab Premium and above.
-- Non-enterprise: For users with GitLab Free and above.
-
-### Prerequisites
-
-To add or update an existing template, you must have the following tools
-installed:
-
-- `wget`
-- `tar`
-
-### Create a project template for review
-
-1. In your selected namespace, create a public project.
-1. Add the project content you want to use in the template. Do not include unnecessary assets or dependencies. For an example,
-[see this project](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/project-templates/dotnetcore).
-1. When the project is ready for review, [create an issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues) with a link to your project.
- In your issue, mention the Create:Source Code [Backend Engineering Manager and Product Manager](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/categories/#source-code-group)
- for the Templates feature.
-
-### Add the template SVG icon to GitLab SVGs
-
-If the project template has an SVG icon, you must add it to the
-[GitLab SVGs project](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-svgs/-/blob/main/README.md#adding-icons-or-illustrations)
-before you can create a merge request with vendor details.
-
-### Create a merge request with vendor details
-
-Before GitLab can implement the project template, you must [create a merge request](../user/project/merge_requests/creating_merge_requests.md) in [`gitlab-org/gitlab`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab) that includes vendor details about the project.
-
-1. [Export the project](../user/project/settings/import_export.md#export-a-project-and-its-data)
- and save the file as `<name>.tar.gz`, where `<name>` is the short name of the project.
- Move this file to the root directory of `gitlab-org/gitlab`.
-1. In `gitlab-org/gitlab`, create and check out a new branch.
-1. Edit the following files to include the project template:
- - For **non-Enterprise** project templates:
- - In `lib/gitlab/project_template.rb`, add details about the template
- in the `localized_templates_table` method. In the following example,
- the short name of the project is `hugo`:
-
- ```ruby
- ProjectTemplate.new('hugo', 'Pages/Hugo', _('Everything you need to create a GitLab Pages site using Hugo'), 'https://gitlab.com/pages/hugo', 'illustrations/logos/hugo.svg'),
- ```
-
- If the project doesn't have an SVG icon, exclude `, 'illustrations/logos/hugo.svg'`.
-
- - In `spec/support/helpers/project_template_test_helper.rb`, append the short name
- of the template in the `all_templates` method.
- - In `app/assets/javascripts/projects/default_project_templates.js`,
- add details of the template. For example:
-
- ```javascript
- hugo: {
- text: s__('ProjectTemplates|Pages/Hugo'),
- icon: '.template-option .icon-hugo',
- },
- ```
-
- If the project doesn't have an SVG icon, use `.icon-gitlab_logo`
- instead.
- - For **Enterprise** project templates:
- - In `ee/lib/ee/gitlab/project_template.rb`, in the `localized_ee_templates_table` method, add details about the template. For example:
-
- ```ruby
- ::Gitlab::ProjectTemplate.new('hipaa_audit_protocol', 'HIPAA Audit Protocol', _('A project containing issues for each audit inquiry in the HIPAA Audit Protocol published by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services'), 'https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/project-templates/hipaa-audit-protocol', 'illustrations/logos/asklepian.svg')
- ```
-
- - In `ee/spec/lib/gitlab/project_template_spec.rb`, add the short name
- of the template in the `.all` test.
- - In `ee/app/assets/javascripts/projects/default_project_templates.js`,
- add the template details. For example:
-
- ```javascript
- hipaa_audit_protocol: {
- text: s__('ProjectTemplates|HIPAA Audit Protocol'),
- icon: '.template-option .icon-hipaa_audit_protocol',
- },
- ```
-
-1. Run the following Rake task, where `<path>/<name>` is the
- name you gave the template in `lib/gitlab/project_template.rb`:
+If you'd like to contribute a new built-in project template to be distributed with GitLab, please do the following:
+
+1. Create a new public project with the project content you'd like to contribute in a namespace of your choosing. You can view a working example [here](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/project-templates/dotnetcore).
+ - Projects should be as simple as possible and free of any unnecessary assets or dependencies.
+1. When the project is ready for review, please create a new issue in [GitLab](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues) with a link to your project.
+ - In your issue, `@` mention the relevant Backend Engineering Manager and Product Manager for the [Create:Source Code group](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/categories/#source-code-group).
+
+To make the project template available when creating a new project, the vendoring process will have to be completed:
+
+1. Create a working template ([example](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/project-templates/dotnetcore))
+ - 2 types of built-in templates are available within GitLab:
+ - **Normal templates**: Available in GitLab Core, Starter and above (this is the most common type of built-in template).
+ - To contribute a normal template:
+ - Add details of the template in the `localized_templates_table` method in `gitlab/lib/gitlab/project_template.rb`,
+ - Add details of the template in `spec/lib/gitlab/project_template_spec.rb`, in the test for the `all` method, and
+ - Add details of the template in `gitlab/app/assets/javascripts/projects/default_project_templates.js`.
+ - See MR [!25318](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/25318) for an example
+ - **Enterprise templates**: Introduced in GitLab 12.10, that are available only in GitLab Gold & Ultimate.
+ - To contribute an Enterprise template:
+ - Add details of the template in the `localized_ee_templates_table` method in `gitlab/ee/lib/ee/gitlab/project_template.rb`,
+ - Add details of the template in `gitlab/ee/spec/lib/gitlab/project_template_spec.rb`, in the `enterprise_templates` method, and
+ - Add details of the template in `gitlab/ee/app/assets/javascripts/projects/default_project_templates.js`.
+ - See MR [!28187](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/28187) for an example.
+
+1. Run the following in the `gitlab` project, where `$name` is the name you gave the template in `gitlab/project_template.rb`:
```shell
- bin/rake gitlab:update_project_templates\[<path>/<name>\]
+ bin/rake gitlab:update_project_templates[$name]
```
-1. Regenerate `gitlab.pot`:
-
- ```shell
- bin/rake gettext:regenerate
- ```
-
-1. After you run the scripts, there is one new file in `vendor/project_templates/` and four changed files. Commit all changes and push your branch to update the merge request. For an example, see this [merge request](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/25318).
+1. Run the `bundle_repo` script. Make sure to pass the correct arguments, or the script may damage the folder structure.
+1. Add exported project (`$name.tar.gz`) to `gitlab/vendor/project_templates` and remove the resulting build folders `tar-base` and `project`.
+1. Run `bin/rake gettext:regenerate` in the `gitlab` project and commit new `.pot` file.
+1. Add a changelog entry in the commit message (for example, `Changelog: added`).
+ For more information, see [Changelog entries](changelog.md).
+1. Add an icon to [`gitlab-svgs`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-svgs), as shown in
+ [this example](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-svgs/merge_requests/195). If a logo
+ is not available for the project, use the default 'Tanuki' logo instead.
+1. Run `yarn run svgs` on `gitlab-svgs` project and commit result.
+1. Forward changes in `gitlab-svgs` project to master. This involves:
+ - Merging your MR in `gitlab-svgs`
+ - [The bot](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/frontend/renovate-gitlab-bot/)
+ will pick the new release up and create an MR in `gitlab-org/gitlab`.
+1. Once the bot-created MR created above is merged, you can rebase your template MR onto the updated `master` to pick up the new svgs.
+1. Test everything is working.
+
+### Contributing an improvement to an existing template
+
+Existing templates are available in the [project-templates](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/project-templates)
+group.
+
+To contribute a change, please open a merge request in the relevant project
+and mention `@gitlab-org/manage/import/backend` when you are ready for a review.
+
+Then, if your merge request gets accepted, either open an issue on
+`gitlab` to ask for it to get updated, or open a merge request updating
+the vendored template using [these instructions](rake_tasks.md#update-project-templates).

-
-To update an existing built-in project template, changes are usually made to the existing template, found in the [project-templates](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/project-templates) group. A merge request is made directly against the template and the Create:Source Code [Backend Engineering Manager and Product Manager](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/categories/#source-code-group) pinged for review.

+You can seed a project, group, or instance with [CI variables](../ci/variables/index.md).
+
+By default, each command creates 10 CI variables. Variable names are prepended with its own
+default prefix (`VAR_` for project-level variables, `GROUP_VAR_` for group-level variables,
+and `INSTANCE_VAR_` for instance-level variables).
+
+Instance-level variables do not have environment scopes. Project-level and group-level variables
+use the default `"*"` environment scope if no `environment_scope` is supplied. If `environment_scope`
+is set to `"unique"`, each variable is created with its own unique environment.
+
+```shell
+# Seed a project with project-level CI variables
+# Only `project_path` is required to run this command.
+bundle exec rake "gitlab:seed:ci_variables_project[project_path, seed_count, environment_scope, prefix]"
+
+# Seed a group with group-level CI variables
+# Only `group_name` is required to run this command.
+bundle exec rake "gitlab:seed:ci_variables_group[group_name, seed_count, environment_scope, prefix]"
+
+# Seed an instance with instance-level CI variables
+bundle exec rake "gitlab:seed:ci_variables_instance[seed_count, prefix]"
+
+# Examples
+bundle exec rake "gitlab:seed:ci_variables_project[flightjs/Flight]"
+bundle exec rake "gitlab:seed:ci_variables_project[flightjs/Flight, 25, staging]"
+bundle exec rake "gitlab:seed:ci_variables_project[flightjs/Flight, 25, unique, CI_VAR_]"
+
+bundle exec rake "gitlab:seed:ci_variables_group[group_name]"
+bundle exec rake "gitlab:seed:ci_variables_group[group_name, 25, staging]"

+
+bundle exec rake "gitlab:seed:ci_variables_instance"
+bundle exec rake "gitlab:seed:ci_variables_instance[25, CI_VAR_]"

-# Real-Time Features
+# Build and deploy real-time view components
-This guide contains instructions on how to safely roll out new real-time
-features.
+GitLab provides an interactive user experience through individual view components that accept
+user input and reflect state changes back to the user. For example, on the Merge Request
+page, users can approve, leave comments, interact with the CI/CD pipeline, and more.
-Real-time features are implemented using GraphQL Subscriptions.
-[Developer documentation](api_graphql_styleguide.md#subscriptions) is available.
+However, GitLab often does not reflect state updates in a timely manner.
+This means parts of the page display stale data that only update after users reload the page.
+
+To address this, GitLab has introduced technology and programming APIs that allow view components
+to receive state updates in real-time over a WebSocket.
+
+The following documentation tells you how to build and deploy view components that
+receive updates in real-time from the GitLab Ruby on Rails server.
+
+NOTE:
+Action Cable and GraphQL subscriptions are a work-in-progress and under active development.
+Developers must evaluate their use case to check if these are the right tools to use.
+If you are not sure, ask for help in the [`#f_real-time` internal Slack channel](https://gitlab.slack.com/archives/CUX9Z2N66).
+
+## Build real-time view components
+
+Prerequisites:
+
+Read the:
+
+- [GraphQL development guide](fe_guide/graphql.md).
+- [Vue development guide](fe_guide/vue.md).
+
+To build a real-time view component on GitLab, you must:
+
+- Integrate a Vue component with Apollo subscriptions in the GitLab frontend.
+- Add and trigger GraphQL subscriptions from the GitLab Ruby on Rails backend.
+
+### Integrate a Vue component with Apollo subscriptions
+
+NOTE:
+Our current real-time stack assumes that client code is built using Vue as the rendering layer and
+Apollo as the state and networking layer. If you are working with a part of
+the GitLab frontend that has not been migrated to Vue + Apollo yet, complete that task first.
+
+Consider a hypothetical `IssueView` Vue component that observes and renders GitLab `Issue` data.
+For simplicity, we assume here that all it does is render an issue's title and description:
+
+```javascript
+import issueQuery from '~/issues/queries/issue_view.query.graqhql';
+
+export default {
+ props: {
+ issueId: {
+ type: Number,
+ required: false,
+ default: null,
+ },
+ },
+ apollo: {
+ // Name of the Apollo query object. Must match the field name bound by `data`.
+ issue: {
+ // Query used for the initial fetch.
+ query: issueQuery,
+ // Bind arguments used for the initial fetch query.
+ variables() {
+ return {
+ iid: this.issueId,
+ };
+ },
+ // Map response data to view properties.
+ update(data) {
+ return data.project?.issue || {};
+ },
+ },
+ },
+ // Reactive Vue component data. Apollo updates these when queries return or subscriptions fire.
+ data() {
+ return {
+ issue: {}, // It is good practice to return initial state here while the view is loading.
+ };
+ },
+};
+
+// The <template> code is omitted for brevity as it is not relevant to this discussion.
+```
+
+The query should:
+
+- Be defined at `app/assets/javascripts/issues/queries/issue_view.query.graqhql`.
+- Contain the following GraphQL operation:
+
+ ```plaintext
+ query gitlabIssue($iid: String!) {
+ # We hard-code the path here only for illustration. Don't do this in practice.
+ project(fullPath: "gitlab-org/gitlab") {
+ issue(iid: $iid) {
+ title
+ description
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ ```
+
+So far this view component only defines the initial fetch query to populate itself with data.
+This is an ordinary GraphQL `query` operation sent as an HTTP POST request, initiated by the view.
+Any subsequent updates on the server would make this view stale. For it to receive updates from the server, you must:
+
+1. Add a GraphQL subscription definition.
+1. Define an Apollo subscription hook.
+
+#### Add a GraphQL subscription definition
+
+A subscription defines a GraphQL query as well, but it is wrapped inside a GraphQL `subscription` operation.
+This query is initiated by the backend and its results pushed over a WebSocket into the view component.
+
+Similar to the initial fetch query, you must:
+
+- Define the subscription file at `app/assets/javascripts/issues/queries/issue_updated.subscription.graqhql`.
+- Include the following GraphQL operation in the file:
+
+ ```plaintext
+ subscription issueUpdatedSubscription($iid: String!) {
+ issueUpdated($issueId: IssueID!) {
+ issue(issueId: $issueId) {
+ title
+ description
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ ```
+
+When adding new subscriptions, use the following naming guidelines:
+
+- End the subscription's operation name with `Subscription`, or `SubscriptionEE` if it's exclusive to GitLab EE.
+ For example, `issueUpdatedSubscription`, or `issueUpdatedSubscriptionEE`.
+- Use a "has happened" action verb in the subscription's event name. For example, `issueUpdated`.
+
+While subscription definitions look similar to ordinary queries, there are some key differences that are important to understand:
+
+- The `query`:
+ - Originates from the frontend.
+ - Uses an internal ID (`iid`, numeric), which is how entities are usually referenced in URLs.
+ Because the internal ID is relative to the enclosing namespace (in this example, the `project`), you must nest the query under the `fullPath`.
+- The `subscription`:
+ - Is a request from the frontend to the backend to receive future updates.
+ - Consists of:
+ - The operation name describing the subscription itself (`issueUpdatedSubscription` in this example).
+ - A nested event query (`issueUpdated` in this example). The nested event query:
+ - Executes when running the [GraphQL trigger](#trigger-graphql-subscriptions) of the same name,
+ so the event name used in the subscription must match the trigger field used in the backend.
+ - Uses a global ID string instead of a numeric internal ID, which is the preferred way to identify resources in GraphQL.
+ For more information, see [GraphQL global IDs](fe_guide/graphql.md#global-ids).
+
+#### Define an Apollo subscription hook
+
+After defining the subscription, add it to the view component using Apollo's `subscribeToMore` property:
+
+```javascript
+import issueQuery from '~/issues/queries/issue_view.query.graqhql';
+import issueUpdatedSubscription from '~/issues/queries/issue_updated.subscription.graqhql';
+
+export default {
+ // As before.
+ // ...
+ apollo: {
+ issue: {
+ // As before.
+ // ...
+ // This Apollo hook enables real-time pushes.
+ subscribeToMore: {
+ // Subscription operation that returns future updates.
+ document: issueUpdatedSubscription,
+ // Bind arguments used for the subscription operation.
+ variables() {
+ return {
+ iid: this.issueId,
+ };
+ },
+ // Implement this to return true|false if subscriptions should be disabled.
+ // Useful when using feature-flags.
+ skip() {
+ return this.shouldSkipRealTimeUpdates;
+ },
+ },
+ },
+ },
+ // As before.
+ // ...
+ computed: {
+ shouldSkipRealTimeUpdates() {
+ return false; // Might check a feature flag here.
+ },
+ },
+};
+```
+
+Now you can enable the view component to receive updates over a WebSocket connection through Apollo.
+Next, we cover how events are triggered from the backend to initiate a push update to the frontend.
+
+### Trigger GraphQL subscriptions
+
+Writing a view component that can receive updates from a WebSocket is only half the story.
+In the GitLab Rails application, we need to perform the following steps:
+
+1. Implement a `GraphQL::Schema::Subscription` class. This class:
+ - Is used by `graphql-ruby` to resolve the `subscription` operation sent by the frontend.
+ - Defines the arguments a subscription takes and the payload returned to the caller, if any.
+ - Runs any necessary business logic to ensure that the caller is authorized to create this subscription.
+1. Add a new `field` to the `Types::SubscriptionType` class. This field maps the event name used
+ [when integrating the Vue component](#integrate-a-vue-component-with-apollo-subscriptions) to the
+ `GraphQL::Schema::Subscription` class.
+1. Add a method matching the event name to `GraphqlTriggers` that runs the corresponding GraphQL trigger.
+1. Use a service or Active Record model class to execute the new trigger as part of your domain logic.
+
+#### Implement the subscription
+
+If you subscribe to a an event that is already implemented as a `GraphQL::Schema::Subscription`, this step is optional.
+Otherwise, create a new class under `app/graphql/subscriptions/`
+that implements the new subscription. For the example of an `issueUpdated` event happening in response to an `Issue` being updated,
+the subscription implementation is as follows:
+
+```ruby
+module Subscriptions
+ class IssueUpdated < BaseSubscription
+ include Gitlab::Graphql::Laziness
+
+ payload_type Types::IssueType
+
+ argument :issue_id, Types::GlobalIDType[Issue],
+ required: true,
+ description: 'ID of the issue.'
+
+ def authorized?(issue_id:)
+ issue = force(GitlabSchema.find_by_gid(issue_id))
+
+ unauthorized! unless issue && Ability.allowed?(current_user, :read_issue, issue)
+
+ true
+ end
+ end
+end
+```
+
+When creating this new class:
+
+- Make sure every subscription type inherits from `Subscriptions::BaseSubscription`.
+- Use an appropriate `payload_type` to indicate what data subscribed queries may access,
+ or define the individual `field`s you want to expose.
+- You may also define custom `subscribe` and `update` hooks that are called each time a client subscribes or
+ an event fires. Refer to the [official documentation](https://graphql-ruby.org/subscriptions/subscription_classes)
+ for how to use these methods.
+- Implement `authorized?` to perform any necessary permission checks. These checks execute for each call
+ to `subscribe` or `update`.
+
+Read more about GraphQL subscription classes [in the official documentation](https://graphql-ruby.org/subscriptions/subscription_classes).
+
+#### Hook up the subscription
+
+Skip this step if you did not implement a new subscription class.
+
+After you implement a new subscription class, you must map that class to a `field` on the `SubscriptionType` before
+it can execute. Open the `Types::SubscriptionType` class and add the new field:
+
+```ruby
+module Types
+ class SubscriptionType < ::Types::BaseObject
+ graphql_name 'Subscription'
+
+ # Existing fields
+ # ...
+
+ field :issue_updated,
+ subscription: Subscriptions::IssueUpdated, null: true,
+ description: 'Triggered when an issue is updated.'
+ end
+end
+```
+
+NOTE:
+If you are connecting an EE subscription, update `EE::Types::SubscriptionType` instead.
+
+Make sure the `:issue_updated` argument matches the name used in the `subscription` request sent by the frontend in camel-case (`issueUpdated`), or `graphql-ruby` does not know which subscribers to inform. The event can now trigger.
+
+#### Add the new trigger
+
+Skip this step if you can reuse an existing trigger.
+
+We use a facade around `GitlabSchema.subscriptions.trigger` to make it simpler to trigger an event.
+Add the new trigger to `GraphqlTriggers`:
+
+```ruby
+module GraphqlTriggers
+ # Existing triggers
+ # ...
+
+ def self.issue_updated(issue)
+ GitlabSchema.subscriptions.trigger(:issue_updated, { issue_id: issue.to_gid }, issue)
+ end
+end
+```
+
+NOTE:
+If the trigger is for an EE subscription, update `EE::GraphqlTriggers` instead.
+
+- The first argument, `:issue_updated`, must match the `field` name used in the previous
+ step.
+- The argument hash specifies the issue for which we publish the event.
+ GraphQL uses this hash to identify the topic it should publish the event to.
+
+The final step is to call into this trigger function.
+
+#### Execute the trigger
+
+The implementation of this step depends on what exactly it is you are building. In the example
+of the issue's fields changing, we could extend `Issues::UpdateService` to call `GraphqlTriggers.issue_updated`.
+
+The real-time view component is now functional. Updates to an issue should now propagate immediately into the GitLab UI.
+
+## Deploy real-time view components

scale introduces some challenges. For that reason, new features should be rolled
out using the instructions below.

information on the WebSockets Kubernetes deployment see
[this epic](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-com/gl-infra/-/epics/355).
+
+## The GitLab real-time stack in depth
+
+Because a push initiated by the server needs to propagate over the network and trigger a view update
+in the client without any user interaction whatsoever, real-time features can only be understood
+by looking at the entire stack including frontend and backend.
+
+NOTE:
+For historic reasons, the controller routes that service updates in response to clients polling
+for changes are called `realtime_changes`. They use conditional GET requests and are unrelated
+to the real-time behavior covered in this guide.
+
+Any real-time update pushed into a client originates from the GitLab Rails application. We use the following
+technologies to initiate and service these updates:
+
+In the GitLab Rails backend:
+
+- Redis PubSub to handle subscription state.
+- Action Cable to handle WebSocket connections and data transport.
+- `graphql-ruby` to implement GraphQL subscriptions and triggers.
+
+In the GitLab frontend:
+
+- Apollo Client to handle GraphQL requests, routing and caching.
+- Vue.js to define and render view components that update in real-time.
+
+The following figure illustrates how data propagates between these layers.

+
+### Action Cable and WebSockets
+
+[Action Cable](https://guides.rubyonrails.org/action_cable_overview.html) is a library that adds
+[WebSocket](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6455) support to Ruby on Rails.
+WebSockets were developed as an HTTP-friendly solution to enhance existing HTTP-based servers and
+applications with bidirectional communication over a single TCP connection.
+A client first sends an ordinary HTTP request to the server, asking it to upgrade the connection
+to a WebSocket instead. When successful, the same TCP connection can then be used by both client
+and server to send and receive data in either direction.
+
+Because the WebSocket protocol does not prescribe how the transmitted data is encoded or structured,
+we need libraries like Action Cable that take care of these concerns. Action Cable:
+
+- Handles the initial connection upgrade from HTTP to the WebSocket protocol. Subsequent requests using
+ the `ws://` scheme are then handled by the Action Cable server and not Action Pack.
+- Defines how data transmitted over the WebSocket is encoded. Action Cable specifies this to be JSON. This allows the
+ application to provide data as a Ruby Hash and Action Cable (de)serializes it from and to JSON.
+- Provides callback hooks to handle clients connecting or disconnecting and client authentication.
+- Provides `ActionCable::Channel` as a developer abstraction to implement publish/subscribe and remote procedure calls.
+
+Action Cable supports different implementations to track which client is subscribed to which
+`ActionCable::Channel`. At GitLab we use the Redis adapter, which uses
+[Redis PubSub](https://redis.io/docs/manual/pubsub/) channels as a distributed message bus.
+Shared storage is necessary because different clients might connect to the same Action Cable channel
+from different Puma instances.
+
+NOTE:
+Do not confuse Action Cable channels with Redis PubSub channels. An Action Cable `Channel` object is a
+programming abstraction to classify and handle the various kinds of data going over the WebSocket connection.
+In Action Cable, the underlying PubSub channel is referred to as a broadcasting instead and the association
+between a client and a broadcasting is called a subscription. In particular, there can be many broadcastings
+(PubSub channels) and subscriptions for each Action Cable `Channel`.
+
+Because Action Cable allows us to express different kinds of behavior through its `Channel` API, and because
+updates to any `Channel` can use the same WebSocket connection, we only require a single WebSocket connection
+to be established for each GitLab page to enhance a view component on that page with real-time behavior.
+
+To implement real-time updates on a GitLab page, we do not write individual `Channel` implementations.
+Instead, we provide the `GraphqlChannel` to which all pages that require push-based updates on GitLab
+subscribe.
+
+### GraphQL subscriptions: Backend
+
+GitLab supports [GraphQL](https://graphql.org) for clients to request structured data from the server
+using GraphQL queries. Refer to the [GitLab GraphQL overview](../api/graphql/index.md) to learn about why we adopted GraphQL.
+GraphQL support in the GitLab backend is provided by the [`graphql-ruby`](https://graphql-ruby.org) gem.
+
+Ordinarily, GraphQL queries are client-initiated HTTP POST requests that follow the standard request-response cycle.
+For real-time functionality, we use GraphQL subscriptions instead, which are an implementation of the publish/subscribe pattern.
+In this approach the client first sends a subscription request to the `GraphqlChannel` with the:
+
+- Name of the subscription `field` (the event name).
+- GraphQL query to run when this event triggers.
+
+This information is used by the server to create a `topic` that represents this event stream. The topic is a unique name
+derived from the subscription arguments and event name and is used to identify all subscribers
+that need to be informed if the event triggers. More than one client can subscribe to the
+same topic. For example, `issuableAssigneesUpdated:issuableId:<hashed_id>` might serve as the topic
+that clients subscribe to if they wish to be updated whenever the assignees for the issue with the
+given ID change.
+
+The backend is responsible for triggering a subscription, typically in response to a domain
+event such as "issue added to epic" or "user assigned to issue". At GitLab, this could be a service object
+or an ActiveRecord model object.
+A trigger is executed by calling into [`GitlabSchema.subscriptions.trigger`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/5e3c334116178eec5f50fc5fee2ec0b3841a2504/app/graphql/graphql_triggers.rb) with the respective event name and arguments,
+from which `graphql-ruby` derives the topic. It then finds all subscribers for this topic, executes the query for
+each subscriber, and pushes the result back to all topic subscribers.
+
+Because we use Action Cable as the underlying transport for GraphQL subscriptions, topics are implemented
+as Action Cable broadcastings, which as mentioned above represent Redis PubSub channels.
+This means that for each subscriber, two PubSub channels are used:
+
+- One `graphql-event:<namespace>:<topic>` channel per each topic. This channel is used to track which client is subscribed
+ to which event and is shared among all potential clients. The use of a `namespace` is optional and it can be blank.
+- One `graphql-subscription:<subscription-id>` channel per each client. This channel is used to transmit the query result
+ back to the respective client and hence cannot be shared between different clients.
+
+The next section describes how the GitLab frontend uses GraphQL subscriptions to implement real-time updates.
+
+### GraphQL subscriptions: Frontend
+
+Because the GitLab frontend executes JavaScript, not Ruby, we need a different GraphQL implementation
+to send GraphQL queries, mutations, and subscriptions from the client to the server.
+We use [Apollo](https://www.apollographql.com) to do this.
+
+Apollo is a comprehensive implementation of GraphQL in JavaScript and is split into `apollo-server` and `apollo-client`
+as well as additional utility modules. Because we run a Ruby backend, we use `apollo-client` instead of `apollo-server`.
+
+It simplifies:
+
+- Networking, connection management and request routing.
+- Client-side state management and response caching.
+- Integrating GraphQL with view components using a bridge module.
+
+NOTE:
+When reading the Apollo Client documentation, it assumes that React.js is used for view rendering. We do not use React.js
+at GitLab. We use Vue.js, which integrates with Apollo using the [Vue.js adapter](https://apollo.vuejs.org/).
+
+Apollo provides functions and hooks with which you define how:
+
+- Views send queries, mutations or subscriptions.
+- Responses should be dealt with.
+- Response data is cached.
+
+The entry point is `ApolloClient`, which is a GraphQL client object that:
+
+- Is shared between all view components on a single page.
+- All view components use internally to communicate with the server.
+
+To decide how different types of requests should be routed, Apollo uses the `ApolloLink` abstraction. Specifically,
+it splits real-time server subscriptions from other GraphQL requests using the `ActionCableLink`. This:
+
+- Establishes the WebSocket connection to Action Cable.
+- Maps server pushes to an `Observable` event stream in the client that views can subscribe to in order to update themselves.
+
+For more information about Apollo and Vue.js, see the [GitLab GraphQL development guide](fe_guide/graphql.md).

+# Advanced search migration style guide
+
+## Creating a new advanced search migration
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/234046) in GitLab 13.6.
+
+NOTE:
+This functionality is only supported for indices created in GitLab 13.0 and later.
+
+In the [`ee/elastic/migrate/`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/tree/master/ee/elastic/migrate) folder, create a new file with the filename format `YYYYMMDDHHMMSS_migration_name.rb`. This format is the same for Rails database migrations.
+
+```ruby
+# frozen_string_literal: true
+
+class MigrationName < Elastic::Migration
+ # Important: Any updates to the Elastic index mappings must be replicated in the respective
+ # configuration files:
+ # - `Elastic::Latest::Config`, for the main index.
+ # - `Elastic::Latest::<Type>Config`, for standalone indices.
+
+ def migrate
+ end
+
+ # Check if the migration has completed
+ # Return true if completed, otherwise return false
+ def completed?
+ end
+end
+```
+
+Applied migrations are stored in `gitlab-#{RAILS_ENV}-migrations` index. All migrations not executed
+are applied by the [`Elastic::MigrationWorker`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/ee/app/workers/elastic/migration_worker.rb)
+cron worker sequentially.
+
+To update Elastic index mappings, apply the configuration to the respective files:
+
+- For the main index: [`Elastic::Latest::Config`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/ee/lib/elastic/latest/config.rb).
+- For standalone indices: `Elastic::Latest::<Type>Config`.
+
+Migrations can be built with a retry limit and have the ability to be [failed and marked as halted](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/66e899b6637372a4faf61cfd2f254cbdd2fb9f6d/ee/lib/elastic/migration.rb#L40).
+Any data or index cleanup needed to support migration retries should be handled in the migration.
+
+### Migration helpers
+
+The following migration helpers are available in `ee/app/workers/concerns/elastic/`:
+
+#### `Elastic::MigrationBackfillHelper`
+
+Backfills a specific field in an index. In most cases, the mapping for the field should already be added.
+
+Requires the `index_name` and `field_name` methods.
+
+```ruby
+class MigrationName < Elastic::Migration
+ include Elastic::MigrationBackfillHelper
+
+ private
+
+ def index_name
+ Issue.__elasticsearch__.index_name
+ end
+
+ def field_name
+ :schema_version
+ end
+end
+```
+
+#### `Elastic::MigrationUpdateMappingsHelper`
+
+Updates a mapping in an index by calling `put_mapping` with the mapping specified.
+
+Requires the `index_name` and `new_mappings` methods.
+
+```ruby
+class MigrationName < Elastic::Migration
+ include Elastic::MigrationUpdateMappingsHelper
+
+ private
+
+ def index_name
+ Issue.__elasticsearch__.index_name
+ end
+
+ def new_mappings
+ {
+ schema_version: {
+ type: 'short'
+ }
+ }
+ end
+end
+```
+
+#### `Elastic::MigrationRemoveFieldsHelper`
+
+Removes specified fields from an index.
+
+Requires the `index_name`, `document_type` methods. If there is one field to remove, add the `field_to_remove` method, otherwise add `fields_to_remove` with an array of fields.
+
+Checks in batches if any documents that match `document_type` have the fields specified in Elasticsearch. If documents exist, uses a Painless script to perform `update_by_query`.
+
+```ruby
+class MigrationName < Elastic::Migration
+ include Elastic::MigrationRemoveFieldsHelper
+
+ batched!
+ throttle_delay 1.minute
+
+ private
+
+ def index_name
+ User.__elasticsearch__.index_name
+ end
+
+ def document_type
+ 'user'
+ end
+
+ def fields_to_remove
+ %w[two_factor_enabled has_projects]
+ end
+end
+```
+
+The default batch size is `10_000`. You can override this value by specifying `BATCH_SIZE`:
+
+```ruby
+class MigrationName < Elastic::Migration
+ include Elastic::MigrationRemoveFieldsHelper
+
+ batched!
+ BATCH_SIZE = 100
+
+ ...
+end
+```
+
+#### `Elastic::MigrationObsolete`
+
+Marks a migration as obsolete when it's no longer required.
+
+```ruby
+class MigrationName < Elastic::Migration
+ include Elastic::MigrationObsolete
+end
+```
+
+#### `Elastic::MigrationHelper`
+
+Contains methods you can use when a migration doesn't fit the previous examples.
+
+```ruby
+class MigrationName < Elastic::Migration
+ include Elastic::MigrationHelper
+
+ def migrate
+ ...
+ end
+
+ def completed?
+ ...
+ end
+end
+```
+
+### Migration options supported by the `Elastic::MigrationWorker`
+
+[`Elastic::MigrationWorker`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/ee/app/workers/elastic/migration_worker.rb) supports the following migration options:
+
+- `batched!` - Allow the migration to run in batches. If set, [`Elastic::MigrationWorker`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/ee/app/workers/elastic/migration_worker.rb)
+ re-enqueues itself with a delay which is set using the `throttle_delay` option described below. The batching
+ must be handled in the `migrate` method. This setting controls the re-enqueuing only.
+
+- `batch_size` - Sets the number of documents modified during a `batched!` migration run. This size should be set to a value which allows the updates
+ enough time to finish. This can be tuned in combination with the `throttle_delay` option described below. The batching
+ must be handled in a custom `migrate` method or by using the [`Elastic::MigrationBackfillHelper`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/ee/app/workers/concerns/elastic/migration_backfill_helper.rb)
+ `migrate` method which uses this setting. Default value is 1000 documents.
+
+- `throttle_delay` - Sets the wait time in between batch runs. This time should be set high enough to allow each migration batch
+ enough time to finish. Additionally, the time should be less than 5 minutes because that is how often the
+ [`Elastic::MigrationWorker`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/ee/app/workers/elastic/migration_worker.rb)
+ cron worker runs. The default value is 3 minutes.
+
+- `pause_indexing!` - Pause indexing while the migration runs. This setting records the indexing setting before
+ the migration runs and set it back to that value when the migration is completed.
+
+- `space_requirements!` - Verify that enough free space is available in the cluster when the migration runs. This setting
+ halts the migration if the storage required is not available when the migration runs. The migration must provide
+ the space required in bytes by defining a `space_required_bytes` method.
+
+- `retry_on_failure` - Enable the retry on failure feature. By default, it retries
+ the migration 30 times. After it runs out of retries, the migration is marked as halted.
+ To customize the number of retries, pass the `max_attempts` argument:
+ `retry_on_failure max_attempts: 10`
+
+```ruby
+# frozen_string_literal: true
+
+class BatchedMigrationName < Elastic::Migration
+ # Declares a migration should be run in batches
+ batched!
+ throttle_delay 10.minutes
+ pause_indexing!
+ space_requirements!
+ retry_on_failure
+
+ # ...
+end
+```
+
+### Multi-version compatibility
+
+These advanced search migrations, like any other GitLab changes, need to support the case where
+[multiple versions of the application are running at the same time](../multi_version_compatibility.md).
+
+Depending on the order of deployment, it's possible that the migration
+has started or finished and there's still a server running the application code from before the
+migration. We need to take this into consideration until we can
+[ensure all advanced search migrations start after the deployment has finished](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/321619).
+
+### Reverting a migration
+
+Because Elasticsearch does not support transactions, we always need to design our
+migrations to accommodate a situation where the application
+code is reverted after the migration has started or after it is finished.
+
+For this reason we generally defer destructive actions (for example, deletions after
+some data is moved) to a later merge request after the migrations have
+completed successfully. To be safe, for self-managed customers we should also
+defer it to another release if there is risk of important data loss.
+
+### Best practices for advanced search migrations
+
+Follow these best practices for best results:
+
+- Order all migrations for each document type so that any migrations that use
+ [`Elastic::MigrationUpdateMappingsHelper`](#elasticmigrationupdatemappingshelper)
+ are executed before migrations that use the
+ [`Elastic::MigrationBackfillHelper`](#elasticmigrationbackfillhelper). This avoids
+ reindexing the same documents multiple times if all of the migrations are unapplied
+ and reduces the backfill time.
+- When working in batches, keep the batch size under 9,000 documents.
+ The bulk indexer is set to run every minute and process a batch
+ of 10,000 documents. This way, the bulk indexer has time to
+ process records before another migration batch is attempted.
+- To ensure that document counts are up to date, you should refresh
+ the index before checking if a migration is completed.
+- Add logging statements to each migration when the migration starts, when a
+ completion check occurs, and when the migration is completed. These logs
+ are helpful when debugging issues with migrations.
+- Pause indexing if you're using any Elasticsearch Reindex API operations.
+- Consider adding a retry limit if there is potential for the migration to fail.
+ This ensures that migrations can be halted if an issue occurs.
+
+## Deleting advanced search migrations in a major version upgrade
+
+Because our advanced search migrations usually require us to support multiple
+code paths for a long period of time, it's important to clean those up when we
+safely can.
+
+We choose to use GitLab major version upgrades as a safe time to remove
+backwards compatibility for indices that have not been fully migrated. We
+[document this in our upgrade documentation](../../update/index.md#upgrading-to-a-new-major-version).
+We also choose to replace the migration code with the halted migration
+and remove tests so that:
+
+- We don't need to maintain any code that is called from our advanced search
+ migrations.
+- We don't waste CI time running tests for migrations that we don't support
+ anymore.
+- Operators who have not run this migration and who upgrade directly to the
+ target version see a message prompting them to reindex from scratch.
+
+To be extra safe, we do not delete migrations that were created in the last
+minor version before the major upgrade. So, if we are upgrading to `%14.0`,
+we should not delete migrations that were only added in `%13.12`. This
+extra safety net allows for migrations that might
+take multiple weeks to finish on GitLab.com. It would be bad if we upgraded
+GitLab.com to `%14.0` before the migrations in `%13.12` were finished. Because
+our deployments to GitLab.com are automated and we don't have
+automated checks to prevent this, the extra precaution is warranted.
+Additionally, even if we did have automated checks to prevent it, we wouldn't
+actually want to hold up GitLab.com deployments on advanced search migrations,
+as they may still have another week to go, and that's too long to block
+deployments.
+
+### Process for removing migrations
+
+For every migration that was created 2 minor versions before the major version
+being upgraded to, we do the following:
+
+1. Confirm the migration has actually completed successfully for GitLab.com.
+1. Replace the content of the migration with:
+
+ ```ruby
+ include Elastic::MigrationObsolete
+ ```
+
+1. Delete any spec files to support this migration.
+1. Remove any logic handling backwards compatibility for this migration. You
+ can find this by looking for
+ `Elastic::DataMigrationService.migration_has_finished?(:migration_name_in_lowercase)`.
+1. Create a merge request with these changes. Noting that we should not
+ accidentally merge this before the major release is started.

## Versioning and release process
-Analyzers are independent projects that follow their own versioning. `Patch` version bumps tend to correspond to a `Minor` version bump of the underlying tools (i.e. [`bandit`](https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Security/Projects/Bandit)), allowing us greater flexibility in reserving `Minor` bumps for more significant changes to our scanners. In case of breaking changes imposed by the wrapped scanner, creating a new analyzer on a separate repository must be considered.
+GitLab Security Products use an independent versioning system from GitLab Rails' `MAJOR.MINOR`. All products use a variation of [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org) and are available as Docker images.
+
+`Patch` version bumps tend to correspond to a `Minor` version bump of the underlying tools (i.e. [`bandit`](https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Security/Projects/Bandit)), allowing us greater flexibility in reserving `Minor` bumps for more significant changes to our scanners. In case of breaking changes imposed by the wrapped scanner, creating a new analyzer on a separate repository must be considered.
The analyzers are released as Docker images following this scheme:
-- each push to the `master` branch will override the `edge` image tag
+- each push to the default branch will override the `edge` image tag
- each push to any `awesome-feature` branch will generate a matching `awesome-feature` image tag
- each Git tag will generate the corresponding `Major.Minor.Patch` image tag. A manual job allows to override the corresponding `Major` and the `latest` image tags to point to this `Major.Minor.Patch`.
+In most circumstances it is preferred to rely on the `MAJOR` image,
+which is automatically kept up to date with the latest advisories or patches to our tools.
+Our [included CI templates](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/tree/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Security) pin to major version but if preferred, users can override their version directly.

+
+## Security and Build fixes of Go
+
+The `Dockerfile` of the Secure analyzers implemented in Go must reference a `MAJOR` release of Go, and not a `MINOR` revision.
+This ensures that the version of Go used to compile the analyzer includes all the security fixes available at a given time.
+For example, the multi-stage Dockerfile of an analyzer must use the `golang:1.15-alpine` image
+to build the analyzer CLI, but not `golang:1.15.4-alpine`.
+
+When a `MINOR` revision of Go is released, and when it includes security fixes,
+project maintainers must check whether the Secure analyzers need to be re-built.
+The version of Go used for the build should appear in the log of the `build` job corresponding to the release,
+and it can also be extracted from the Go binary using the [strings](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strings_(Unix)) command.
+
+If the latest image of the analyzer was built with the affected version of Go, then it needs to be rebuilt.
+To rebuild the image, maintainers can either:
+
+- trigger a new pipeline for the Git tag that corresponds to the stable release
+- create a new Git tag where the `BUILD` number is incremented
+- trigger a pipeline for the default branch, and where the `PUBLISH_IMAGES` variable is set to a non-empty value
+
+Either way a new Docker image is built, and it's published with the same image tags: `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH` and `MAJOR`.
+
+This workflow assumes full compatibility between `MINOR` revisions of the same `MAJOR` release of Go.
+If there's a compatibility issue, the project pipeline will fail when running the tests.
+In that case, it might be necessary to reference a `MINOR` revision of Go in the Dockerfile
+and document that exception until the compatibility issue has been resolved.
+
+Since it is NOT referenced in the `Dockerfile`, the `MINOR` revision of Go is NOT mentioned in the project changelog.
+
+There may be times where it makes sense to use a build tag as the changes made are build related and don't
+require a changelog entry. For example, pushing Docker images to a new registry location.
+
+### Git tag to rebuild
+
+When creating a new Git tag to rebuild the analyzer,
+the new tag has the same `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH` version as before,
+but the `BUILD` number (as defined in [semver](https://semver.org/)) is incremented.
+
+For instance, if the latest release of the analyzer is `v1.2.3`,
+and if the corresponding Docker image was built using an affected version of Go,
+then maintainers create the Git tag `v1.2.3+1` to rebuild the image.
+If the latest release is `v1.2.3+1`, then they create `v1.2.3+2`.
+
+The build number is automatically removed from the image tag.
+To illustrate, creating a Git tag `v1.2.3+1` in the `gemnasium` project
+makes the pipeline rebuild the image, and push it as `gemnasium:1.2.3`.
+
+The Git tag created to rebuild has a simple message that explains why the new build is needed.
+Example: `Rebuild with Go 1.15.6`.
+The tag has no release notes, and no release is created.
+
+To create a new Git tag to rebuild the analyzer, follow these steps:
+
+1. Create a new Git tag and provide a message
+
+ ```shell
+ git tag -a v1.2.3+1 -m "Rebuild with Go 1.15.6"
+ ```
+
+1. Push the tags to the repo
+
+ ```shell
+ git push origin --tags
+ ```
+
+1. A new pipeline for the Git tag will be triggered and a new image will be built and tagged.
+1. Run a new pipeline for the `master` branch in order to run the full suite of tests and generate a new vulnerability report for the newly tagged image. This is necessary because the release pipeline triggered in step `3.` above runs only a subset of tests, for example, it does not perform a `Container Scanning` analysis.
+
+### Monthly release process
+
+This should be done on the **18th of each month**. Though, this is a soft deadline and there is no harm in doing it within a few days after.
+
+First, create an new issue for a release with a script from this repo: `./scripts/release_issue.rb MAJOR.MINOR`.
+This issue will guide you through the whole release process. In general, you have to perform the following tasks:
+
+- Check the list of supported technologies in GitLab documentation.
+ - [Supported languages in SAST](../../user/application_security/sast/index.md#supported-languages-and-frameworks)
+ - [Supported languages in DS](../../user/application_security/dependency_scanning/index.md#supported-languages-and-package-managers)
+ - [Supported languages in LM](../../user/compliance/license_compliance/index.md#supported-languages-and-package-managers)
+
+- Check that CI **_job definitions are still accurate_** in vendored CI/CD templates and **_all of the ENV vars are propagated_** to the Docker containers upon `docker run` per tool.
+
+ - [SAST vendored CI/CD template](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Security/SAST.gitlab-ci.yml)
+ - [Dependency Scanning vendored CI/CD template](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Security/Dependency-Scanning.gitlab-ci.yml)

+ - [Container Scanning CI/CD template](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Security/Container-Scanning.gitlab-ci.yml)
+
+ If needed, go to the pipeline corresponding to the last Git tag,
+ and trigger the manual job that controls the build of this image.

+## Commonly used terms
-## Vulnerability creation from security reports
+### Feedback
+
+An instance of `Vulnerabilities::Feedback` class. They are created to keep track of users' interactions with Vulnerability Findings before they are promoted to a Vulnerability. This model is deprecated and due to be removed by GitLab 16.0 as part of the [Deprecate and remove Vulnerabilities::Feedback epic](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/5629).
+
+### Issue Link
+
+An instance of `Vulnerabilities::IssueLink` class. They are used to link `Vulnerability` records to `Issue` records.
+
+### Merge Request Link
+
+An instance of `Vulnerabilities::MergeRequestLink` class. They are used to link `Vulnerability` records to `MergeRequest` records.
+
+### Security Finding
+
+An instance of `Security::Finding` class. These serve as a meta-data store of a specific vulnerability detected in a specific `Security::Scan`. They currently store **partial** finding data to improve performance of the pipeline security report. This class has been extended to store almost all required scan information so we can stop relying on job artifacts and is [due to be used in favor of `Vulnerability::Findings` soon.](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/393394)
+
+### Security Scan
+
+An instance of the `Security::Scan` class. Security scans are representative of a `Ci::Build` which output a `Job Artifact` which has been output as a security scan result, which GitLab acknowledges and ingests the findings of as `Security::Finding` records.
+
+### State Transition
+
+An instance of the `Vulnerabilities::StateTransition` class. This model represents a state change of a respecitve Vulnerability record, for example the dismissal of a vulnerability which has been determined to be safe.
+
+### Vulnerability
+
+An instance of `Vulnerability` class. A `Vulnerability` is representative of a `Vulnerability::Finding` which has been detected in the default branch of the project, or if the `present_on_default_branch` flag is false, is representative of a finding which has been interacted with in some way outside of the default branch, such as if it is dismissed (`State Transition`), or linked to an `Issue` or `Merge Request`. They are created based on information available in `Vulnerabilities::Finding` class. Every `Vulnerability` **must have** a corresponding `Vulnerabilities::Finding` object to be valid, however this is not enforced at the database level.
+
+### Finding
+
+An instance of `Vulnerabilities::Finding` class. A `Vulnerability::Finding` is a database only representation of a security finding which has been merged into the default branch of a project, as the same `Vulnerability` may be present in multiple places within a project. This class was previously called `Vulnerabilities::Occurrence`; after renaming the class, we kept the associated table name `vulnerability_occurrences` due to the effort involved in renaming large tables.
+
+### Identifier
+
+An instance of the `Vulnerabilities::Identifier` class. Each vulnerability is given a unique identifier that can be derived from it's finding, enabling multiple Findings of the same `Vulnerability` to be correlated accordingly.
+
+### Vulnerability Read
+
+An instance of the `Vulnerabilities::Read` class. This is a denormalised record of `Vulnerability` and `Vulnerability::Finding` data to improve performance of filtered querying of vulnerability data to the front end.
+
+### Remediation
+
+An instance of the `Vulnerabilities::Remediation` class. A remediation is representative of a known solution to a detected `Vulnerability`. These enable GitLab to recommend a change to resolve a specific `Vulnerability`.

+| `zip` | `SafeZip` |
+
+#### `SafeZip`
+
+SafeZip provides a safe interface to extract specific directories or files within a `zip` archive through the `SafeZip::Extract` class.

## Change an existing metric
-See [this video tutorial](https://youtu.be/bYf3c01KCls) for help with the update of metric attributes.
-
-NOTE:
-The `key_path` attribute represents the location of the metric in Service Ping payload and must not be changed.
-
-Because we do not control when customers update their self-managed instances of GitLab,
-we **STRONGLY DISCOURAGE** changes to the logic used to calculate any metric.
-Any such changes lead to inconsistent reports from multiple GitLab instances.
-If there is a problem with an existing metric, it's best to deprecate the existing metric,
-and use it, side by side, with the desired new metric.
-
-If you do need to change a metric, please notify the Customer Success Ops team (`@csops-team`), Analytics Engineers (`@gitlab-data/analytics-engineers`), and Product Analysts (`@gitlab-data/product-analysts`) teams by `@` mentioning those groups in a comment on the MR.
-Many Service Ping metrics are relied upon for health score and XMAU reporting and
-unexpected changes to those metrics could break reporting.
-
-Example:
-Consider following change. Before GitLab 12.6, the `example_metric` was implemented as:
-
-```ruby
-{
- ...
- example_metric: distinct_count(Project, :creator_id)
-}
-```
-
-For GitLab 12.6, the metric was changed to filter out archived projects:
-
-```ruby
-{
- ...
- example_metric: distinct_count(Project.non_archived, :creator_id)
-}
-```
+WARNING:
+We want to **PREVENT** changes to the calculation logic or important attributes on any metric as this invalidates comparisons of the same metric across different versions of GitLab.
-In this scenario, all instances running up to GitLab 12.5 continue to report `example_metric`,
-including all archived projects, while all instances running GitLab 12.6 and higher filters
-out such projects. As Service Ping data is collected from all reporting instances, the
-resulting dataset includes mixed data, which distorts any following business analysis.
+If you change a metric, you have to consider that not all instances of GitLab are running on the newest version. Old instances will still report the old version of the metric.
+Additionally, a metric's reported numbers are primarily interesting compared to previously reported numbers.
+As a result, if you need to change one of the following parts of a metric, you need to add a new metric instead. It's your choice whether to keep the old metric alongside the new one or [remove it](#remove-a-metric).
-The correct approach is to add a new metric for GitLab 12.6 release with updated logic:
+- **calculation logic**: This means any changes that can produce a different value than the previous implementation
+- **YAML attributes**: The following attributes are directly used for analysis or calculation: `key_path`, `time_frame`, `value_type`, `data_source`.
-```ruby
-{
- ...
- example_metric_without_archived: distinct_count(Project.non_archived, :creator_id)
-}
-```
+If you change the `performance_indicator_type` attribute of a metric or think your case needs an exception from the outlined rules then please notify the Customer Success Ops team (`@csops-team`), Analytics Engineers (`@gitlab-data/analytics-engineers`), and Product Analysts (`@gitlab-data/product-analysts`) teams by `@` mentioning those groups in a comment on the merge request or issue.
-and update existing business analysis artefacts to use `example_metric_without_archived` instead of `example_metric`
+You can change any other attributes without impact to the calculation or analysis. See [this video tutorial](https://youtu.be/bYf3c01KCls) for help updating metric attributes.
-Currently, the [Metrics Dictionary](https://metrics.gitlab.com/) is built automatically once a day. When a change to a metric is made in a YAML file, you can see the change in the dictionary within 24 hours.

+## Kibana dashboard for error budgets
+
+For a detailed analysis you can use [a specialized Kibana dashboard](https://log.gprd.gitlab.net/goto/771b5c10-c0ec-11ed-85ed-e7557b0a598c), like this:
+
+![Kibana dashboard](img/error_budgets_kibana_dashboard_v15_10.png)
+
+Description:
+
+- **Apdex requests over limit (graph)** - Displays only requests that exceeded their
+ target duration.
+- **Apdex operations over-limit duration (graph)** - Displays the distribution of duration
+ components (database, Redis, Gitaly, and Rails app).
+- **Apdex requests** (pie chart) - Displays the percentage of `2xx`, `3xx`, `4xx` and
+ `5xx` requests.
+- **Slow request component distribution** - Highlights the component responsible
+ for Apdex violation.
+- **Apdex operations over limit** (table) - Displays a number of operations over
+ limit for each endpoint.
+- **Apdex requests over limit** - Displays a list of individual requests responsible
+ for Apdex violation.
+
+### Use the dashboard
+
+1. Select the feature category you want to investigate.
+ 1. Scroll to the **Feature Category** section. Enter the feature name.
+ 1. Select **Apply changes**. Selected results contain only requests related to this feature category.
+1. Select the time frame for the investigation.
+1. Review dashboard and pay attention to the type of failures.
+
+Questions to answer:
+
+1. Does the failure pattern look like a spike? Or does it persist?
+1. Does the failure look related to a particular component? (database, Redis, ...)
+1. Does the failure affect a specific endpoint? Or is it system-wide?
+1. Does the failure appear caused by infrastructure incidents?

```
When running mobile tests for phone layouts, both `remote_mobile_device_name` and `mobile_layout` are `true` but when using a tablet layout, only `remote_mobile_device_name` is true. This is because phone layouts have more menus closed by default such as how both tablets and phones have the left nav closed but unlike phone layouts, tablets have the regular top navigation bar, not the mobile one. So in the case where the navigation being edited needs to be used in tablet layouts as well, use `remote_mobile_device_name` instead of `mobile_layout?` when prepending so it will use it if it's a tablet layout as well.

+## Targeting canary vs non-canary components in live environments
+
+Use the `QA_COOKIES` ENV variable to have the entire test target a `canary` (`staging-canary` or `canary`) or `non-canary` (`staging` or `production`) environment.
+
+Locally, that would mean prepending the ENV variable to your call to bin/qa. To target the `canary` version of that environment:
+
+```shell
+QA_COOKIES="gitlab_canary=true" WEBDRIVER_HEADLESS=false bin/qa Test::Instance::Staging <YOUR SPECIFIC TAGS OR TESTS>
+```
+
+Alternatively, you may set the cookie to `false` to ensure the `non-canary` version is targeted.
+
+You can also export the cookie for your current session to avoid prepending it each time:
+
+```shell
+export QA_COOKIES="gitlab_canary=true"
+```
+
+### Updating the cookie within a running spec
+
+Within a specific test, you can target either the `canary` or `non-canary` nodes within live environments, such as `staging` and `production`.
+
+For example, to switch back and forth between the two environments, you could utilize the `target_canary` method:
+
+```ruby
+it 'tests toggling between canary and non-canary nodes' do
+ Runtime::Browser.visit(:gitlab, Page::Main::Login)
+
+ # After starting the browser session, use the target_canary method ...
+
+ Runtime::Browser::Session.target_canary(true)
+ Flow::Login.sign_in
+
+ verify_session_on_canary(true)
+
+ Runtime::Browser::Session.target_canary(false)
+
+ # Refresh the page ...
+
+ verify_session_on_canary(false)
+
+ # Log out and clean up ...
+end
+
+def verify_session_on_canary(enable_canary)
+ Page::Main::Menu.perform do |menu|
+ aggregate_failures 'testing session log in' do
+ expect(menu.canary?).to be(enable_canary)
+ end
+ end
+end
+```
+
+You can verify whether GitLab is appropriately redirecting your session to the `canary` or `non-canary` nodes with the `menu.canary?` method.

+- Ease of setup
+
+**Cons**

+- Lacks the clarity or guard rails that `vue-tests-utils` provides by finding elements and asserting their presence directly
+- Creates unnecessary noise when updating components purposefully
+- High risk of taking a snapshot of bugs, which then turns the tests against us since the test will now fail when fixing the issue
+- No meaningful assertions or expectations within snapshots makes them harder to reason about or replace
+- When used with dependencies like [GitLab UI](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ui), it creates fragility in tests when the underlying library changes the HTML of a component we are testing
+
+### When to use

+
+### Examples
+
+As you can see, the cons of snapshot tests far outweight the pros in general. To illustrate this better, this section will show a few examples of when you might be tempted to
+use snapshot testing and why they are not good patterns.
+
+#### Example #1 - Element visiblity
+
+When testing elements visibility, favour using `vue-tests-utils (VTU)` to find a given component and then a basic `.exists()` method call on the VTU wrapper. This provides better readability and more resilient testing. If you look at the examples below, notice how the assertions on the snapshots do not tell you what you are expecting to see. We are relying entirely on `it` description to give us context and on the assumption that the snapshot has captured the desired behavior.
+
+```vue
+<template>
+ <my-component v-if="isVisible" />
+</template>
+```
+
+Bad:
+
+```javascript
+it('hides the component', () => {
+ createComponent({ props: { isVisible: false }})
+
+ expect(wrapper.element).toMatchSnapshot()
+})
+
+it('shows the component', () => {
+ createComponent({ props: { isVisible: true }})
+
+ expect(wrapper.element).toMatchSnapshot()
+})
+```
+
+Good:
+
+```javascript
+it('hides the component', () => {
+ createComponent({ props: { isVisible: false }})
+
+ expect(findMyComponent().exists()).toBe(false)
+})
+
+it('shows the component', () => {
+ createComponent({ props: { isVisible: true }})
+
+ expect(findMyComponent().exists()).toBe(true)
+})
+```
+
+Not only that, but imagine having passed the wrong prop to your component and having the wrong visibility: the snapshot test would still pass because you would have captured the HTML **with the issue** and so unless you double-checked the output of the snapshot, you would never know that your test is broken.
+
+#### Example #2 - Presence of text
+
+Finding text within a component is very easy by using the `vue-test-utils` method `wrapper.text()`. However, there are some cases where it might be tempting to use snapshots when the value returned has a lot of inconsistent spacing due to formatting or HTML nesting.
+
+In these instances, it is better to assert each string individually and make multiple assertions than to use a snapshot to ignore the spaces. This is because any change to the DOM layout will fail the snapshot test even if the text is still perfectly formatted.
+
+```vue
+<template>
+ <gl-sprintf :message="my-message">
+ <template #code="{ content }">
+ <code>{{ content }}</code>
+ </template>
+ </gl-sprintf>
+ <p> My second message </p>
+</template>
+```
+
+Bad:
+
+```javascript
+it('renders the text as I expect', () => {
+ expect(wrapper.text()).toMatchSnapshot()
+})
+```
+
+Good:
+
+```javascript
+it('renders the code snippet', () => {
+ expect(findCodeTag().text()).toContain("myFunction()")
+})
+
+it('renders the paragraph text', () => {
+ expect(findOtherText().text()).toBe("My second message")
+})
+```
+
+#### Example #3 - Complex HTML
+
+When we have very complex HTML, we should focus on asserting specific sensitive and meaningful points rather than capturing it as a whole. The value in a snapshot test is to **warn developers** that they might have accidentally change an HTML structure that they did not intend to change. If the output of the change is hard to read, which is often the case with complex HTML output, then **is the signal itself that something changed** sufficient? And if it is, can it be accomplished without snapshots?
+
+A good example of a complex HTML output is `GlTable`. Snapshot testing might feel like a good option since you can capture rows and columns structure, but we should instead try to assert text we expect or count the number of rows and columns manually.
+
+```vue
+<template>
+ <gl-table ...all-them-props />
+</template>
+```
+
+Bad:
+
+```javascript
+it('renders GlTable as I expect', () => {
+ expect(findGlTable().element).toMatchSnapshot()
+})
+```
+
+Good:
+
+```javascript
+it('renders the right number of rows', () => {
+ expect(findGlTable().findAllRows()).toHaveLength(expectedLength)
+})
+
+it('renders the special icon that only appears on a full moon', () => {
+ expect(findGlTable().findMoonIcon().exists()).toBe(true)
+})
+
+it('renders the correct email format', () => {
+ expect(findGlTable().text()).toContain('my_strange_email@shaddyprovide.com')
+})
+```
+
+Although more verbose, this now means that our tests are not going to break if `GlTable` changes its internal implementation, we communicate to other developers (or ourselves in 6 months) what is important to preserve when refactoring or adding to our table.

+
+## UX Design
+
+These instructions are specifically for those wanting to make UX design contributions to GitLab.
+
+The UX department at GitLab uses [Figma](https://www.figma.com/) for all of its designs, and you can see our [Design Repository documentation](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-design/blob/master/README.md#getting-started) for details on working with our files.
+
+You may leverage the [Pajamas UI Kit](https://www.figma.com/community/file/781156790581391771) in Figma to create mockups for your proposals. However, we will also gladly accept handmade drawings and sketches, wireframes, manipulated DOM screenshots, or prototypes. You can find design resources documentation in our [Design System](https://design.gitlab.com/). Use it to understand where and when to use common design solutions.
+
+## Contributing to Pajamas
+
+To contribute to [Pajamas design system](https://design.gitlab.com/) and the [UI kit](https://www.figma.com/community/file/781156790581391771), follow the [contribution guidelines](https://design.gitlab.com/get-started/contribute) documented in the handbook. While the instructions are code-focused, they will help you understand the overall process of contributing.
+
+## Contributing to other issues
+
+1. Review the list of available issues that are currently [accepting UX contribution](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/issues/?sort=weight&state=opened&label_name%5B%5D=UX&label_name%5B%5D=workflow%3A%3Aready%20for%20design&label_name%5B%5D=Accepting%20UX%20contributions&first_page_size=20).
+1. Find an issue that does not have an Assignee to ensure someone else is not working on a solution. Add the `~"workflow::design"` and `~"Community contribution"` labels and mention `@gitlab-com/gitlab-ux/reviewers` to request they assign the issue to you.
+1. Add your design proposal to the issue description/[design management](../../user/project/issues/design_management.md) section. Remember to keep the scope of the proposal/change small following our [MVCs guidelines](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/values/#minimal-viable-change-mvc).
+1. If you have any questions or are ready for a review of your proposal, mention `@gitlab-com/gitlab-ux/reviewers` in a comment to make your request.

+
+## Backend architecture
+
+You can update widgets using custom fine-grained mutations (for example, `WorkItemCreateFromTask`) or as part of the
+`workItemCreate` or `workItemUpdate` mutations.
+
+### Widget callbacks
+
+When updating the widget together with the work item's mutation, backend code should be implemented using
+callback classes that inherit from `Issuable::Callbacks::Base`. These classes have callback methods
+that are named similar to ActiveRecord callbacks and behave similarly.
+
+Callback classes with the same name as the widget are automatically used. For example, `Issuable::Callbacks::Milestone`
+is called when the work item has the milestone widget. To use a different class, you can override the `callback_class`
+class method.
+
+#### Available callbacks
+
+- `after_initialize` is called after the work item is initialized by the `BuildService` and before
+ the work item is saved by the `CreateService` and `UpdateService`. This callback runs outside the
+ creation or update database transaction.
+- `after_update_commit` is called after the DB update transaction is committed by the `UpdateService`.
+- `after_save_commit` is called after the creation or DB update transaction is committed by the
+ `CreateService` or `UpdateService`.

-# Organization
+This document was moved to [another location](../organization/index.md).
-The [Organization initiative](../../user/workspace/index.md) focuses on reaching feature parity between
-SaaS and self-managed installations.
-
-## Consolidate groups and projects
-
-- [Architecture blueprint](../../architecture/blueprints/consolidating_groups_and_projects/index.md)
-
-One facet of the Organization initiative is to consolidate groups and projects,
-addressing the feature disparity between them. Some features, such as epics, are
-only available at the group level. Some features, such as issues, are only available
-at the project level. Other features, such as milestones, are available to both groups
-and projects.
-
-We receive many requests to add features either to the group or project level.
-Moving features around to different levels is problematic on multiple levels:
-
-- It requires engineering time to move the features.
-- It requires UX overhead to maintain mental models of feature availability.
-- It creates redundant code.
-
-When features are copied from one level (project, group, or instance) to another,
-the copies often have small, nuanced differences between them. These nuances cause
-extra engineering time when fixes are needed, because the fix must be copied to
-several locations. These nuances also create different user experiences when the
-feature is used in different places.
-
-A solution for this problem is to consolidate groups and projects into a single
-entity, `namespace`. The work on this solution is split into several phases and
-is tracked in [epic 6473](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/6473).
-
-### Phase 1
-
-- [Phase 1 epic](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/6697).
-- **Goals**:
- 1. Ensure every project receives a corresponding record in the `namespaces`
- table with `type='Project'`.
- 1. For user namespaces, the type changes from `NULL` to `User`.
-
-We should make sure that projects, and the project namespace, are equivalent:
-
-- **Create project:** use Rails callbacks to ensure a new project namespace is
- created for each project. Project namespace records should contain `created_at` and
- `updated_at` attributes equal to the project's `created_at`/`updated_at` attributes.
-- **Update project:** use the `after_save` callback in Rails to ensure some
- attributes are kept in sync between project and project namespaces.
- Read [`project#after_save`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/6d26634e864d7b748dda0e283eb2477362263bc3/app/models/project.rb#L101-L101)
- for more information.
-- **Delete project:** use FKs cascade delete or Rails callbacks to ensure when a `Project`
- or its `ProjectNamespace` is removed, its corresponding `ProjectNamespace` or `Project`
- is also removed.
-- **Transfer project to a different group:** make sure that when a project is transferred,
- its corresponding project namespace is transferred to the same group.
-- **Transfer group:** make sure when transferring a group that all of its sub-projects,
- either direct or through descendant groups, have their corresponding project
- namespaces transferred correctly as well.
-- **Export or import project**
- - **Export project** continues to export only the project, and not its project namespace,
- in this phase. The project namespace does not contain any specific information
- to export at this point. Eventually we want the project namespace to be exported as well.
- - **Import project** creates a new project, so the project namespace is created through
- Rails `after_save` callback on the project model.
-- **Export or import group:** when importing or exporting a `Group`, projects are not
- included in the operation. If that feature is changed to include `Project` when its group is
- imported or exported, the logic must include their corresponding project namespaces
- in the import or export.
-
-After ensuring these points, run a database migration to create a `ProjectNamespace`
-record for every `Project`. Project namespace records created during the migration
-should have `created_at` and `updated_at` attributes set to the migration runtime.
-The project namespaces' `created_at` and `updated_at` attributes would not match
-their corresponding project's `created_at` and `updated_at` attributes. We want
-the different dates to help audit any of the created project namespaces, in case we need it.
-After this work completes, we must migrate data as described in
-[Backfill `ProjectNamespace` for every Project](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/337100).
-
-### Phase 2
-
-- [Phase 2 epic](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/6768).
-- **Goal**: Link `ProjectNamespace` to other entities on the database level.
-
-In this phase:
-
-- Communicate the changes company-wide at the engineering level. We want to make
- engineers aware of the upcoming changes, even though teams are not expected to
- collaborate actively until phase 3.
-- Raise awareness to avoid regressions, and conflicting or duplicate work that
- can be dealt with before phase 3.
-
-### Phase 3
-
-- [Phase 3 epic](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/6585).
-- **Goal**: Achieve feature parity between the namespace types.
-Problems to solve as part of this phase:
-
-- Routes handling through `ProjectNamespace` rather than `Project`.
-- Memberships handling.
-- Policies handling.
-- Import and export.
-- Other interactions between project namespace and project models.
-
-Phase 3 is when the active migration of features from `Project` to `ProjectNamespace`,
-or directly to `Namespace`, happens.
-
-### How to plan features that interact with Group and ProjectNamespace
-
-As of now, every Project in the system has a record in the `namespaces` table. This makes it possible to
-use common interface to create features that are shared between Groups and Projects. Shared behavior can be added using
-a concerns mechanism. Because the `Namespace` model is responsible for `UserNamespace` methods as well, it is discouraged
-to use the `Namespace` model for shared behavior for Projects and Groups.
-
-#### Resource-based features
-
-To migrate resource-based features, existing functionality will need to be supported. This can be achieved in two Phases.
-
-**Phase 1 - Setup**
-
-- Link into the namespaces table
- - Add a column to the table
- - For example, in issues a `project id` points to the projects table. We need to establish a link to the `namespaces` table.
- - Modify code so that any new record already has the correct data in it
- - Backfill
-
-**Phase 2 - Prerequisite work**
-
-- Investigate the permission model as well as any performance concerns related to that.
- - Permissions need to be checked and kept in place.
-- Investigate what other models need to support namespaces for functionality dependent on features you migrate in Phase 1.
-- Adjust CRUD services and APIs (REST and GraphQL) to point to the new column you added in Phase 1.
-- Consider performance when fetching resources.
-
-Introducing new functionality is very much dependent on every single team and feature.
-
-#### Settings-related features
-
-Right now, cascading settings are available for `NamespaceSettings`. By creating `ProjectNamespace`,
-we can use this framework to make sure that some settings are applicable on the project level as well.
-
-When working on settings, we need to make sure that:
-
-- They are not used in `join` queries or modify those queries.
-- Updating settings is taken into consideration.
-- If we want to move from project to project namespace, we follow a similar database process to the one described in [Phase 1](#phase-1).

# Add a file to a repository **(FREE)**
-Adding files to a repository is a small, but key task. Bringing files in to a repository,
-such as code, images, or documents, allows them to be tracked by Git, even though they
-may have been created elsewhere.
-
-You can add a file to a repository in your [terminal](#add-a-file-using-the-command-line), and
-then push to GitLab. You can also use the [web interface](../user/project/repository/web_editor.md#upload-a-file),
-which may be a simpler solution.
-
-If you need to create a file first, for example a `README.md` text file, that can
-also be done from the [terminal](command-line-commands.md#create-a-text-file-in-the-current-directory) or
-[web interface](../user/project/repository/web_editor.md#create-a-file).
-
-## Add a file using the command line
-
-Open a [terminal/shell](command-line-commands.md), and change into the folder of your
-GitLab project. This usually means running the following command until you get
-to the desired destination:
-
-```shell
-cd <destination folder>
-```
-
-[Create a new branch](../tutorials/make_your_first_git_commit.md#create-a-branch-and-make-changes) to add your file into. Submitting changes directly
-to the default branch should be avoided unless your project is very small and you're the
-only person working on it.
-
-You can also [switch to an existing branch](start-using-git.md#switch-to-a-branch)
-if you have one already.
-
-Using your standard tool for copying files (for example, Finder in macOS, or File Explorer
-on Windows), put the file into a directory in the GitLab project.
-
-Check if your file is actually present in the directory (if you're on Windows,
-use `dir` instead):
-
-```shell
-ls
-```
-
-You should see the name of the file in the list shown.
-
-Check the status:
-
-```shell
-git status
-```
-
-Your file's name should appear in red, so `git` took notice of it! Now add it
-to the repository:
-
-```shell
-git add <name of file>
-```
-
-Check the status again, your file's name should have turned green:
-
-```shell
-git status
-```
-
-Commit (save) your file to the repository:
-
-```shell
-git commit -m "DESCRIBE COMMIT IN A FEW WORDS"
-```
-
-Now you can push (send) your changes (in the branch `<branch-name>`) to GitLab
-(the Git remote named 'origin'):
-
-```shell
-git push origin <branch-name>
-```
-
-Your image is added to your branch in your repository in GitLab.
-
-<!-- ## Troubleshooting
-
-Include any troubleshooting steps that you can foresee. If you know beforehand what issues
-one might have when setting this up, or when something is changed, or on upgrading, it's
-important to describe those, too. Think of things that may go wrong and include them here.
-This is important to minimize requests for support, and to avoid doc comments with
-questions that you know someone might ask.

+Adding files to a repository is a small, but key, task. No matter where the code,
+images, or documents were created, Git tracks them after you add them to your repository.
+
+## Add an existing file
+
+To add an existing file to your repository, either:
+
+- Upload the file from the GitLab UI.
+- Add a file to your repository from the command line, then push the file up to GitLab.
+
+### From the UI
+
+If you are unfamiliar with the command line, use the
+[Web Editor](../user/project/repository/web_editor.md) to upload a file from the GitLab UI:
+
+<!-- Original source for this list: doc/user/project/repository/web_editor.md#upload-a-file -->
+<!-- For why we duplicated the info, see https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/111072#note_1267429478 -->
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
+1. From the project dashboard or repository, next to the branch name, select the plus icon (**{plus}**).
+1. From the dropdown list, select **Upload file**.
+1. Complete the fields. To create a merge request with the uploaded file, ensure the **Start a new merge request with these changes** toggle is turned on.
+1. Select **Upload file**.
+
+### From the command line
+
+To add a new file from the command line:
+
+1. Open a terminal (or shell) window.
+1. Use the "change directory" (`cd`) command to go to your GitLab project's folder.
+ Run the `cd DESTINATION` command, changing `DESTINATION` to the location of your folder.
+1. Choose a Git branch to work in. You can either:
+ - [Create a new branch](../tutorials/make_first_git_commit/index.md#create-a-branch-and-make-changes)
+ to add your file into. Don't submit changes directly to the default branch of your
+ repository unless your project is very small and you're the only person working on it.
+ - [Switch to an existing branch](start-using-git.md#switch-to-a-branch).
+1. Copy the file into the appropriate directory in your project. Use your standard tool
+ for copying files, such as Finder in macOS, or File Explorer in Windows.
+1. In your terminal window, confirm that your file is present in the directory:
+ - Windows: Use the `dir` command.
+ - All other operating systems: Use the `ls` command.
+ You should see the name of the file in the list shown.
+1. Check the status of your file with the `git status` command. Your file's name
+ should be red. Files listed in red are in your file system, but Git isn't tracking them yet.
+1. Tell Git to track this file with the `git add FILENAME` command, replacing `FILENAME`
+ with the name of your file.
+1. Check the status of your file again with the `git status` command. Your file's name
+ should be green. Files listed in green are tracked locally by Git, but still
+ need to be committed and pushed.
+1. Commit (save) your file to your local copy of your project's Git repository:
+
+ ```shell
+ git commit -m "DESCRIBE COMMIT IN A FEW WORDS"
+ ```
+
+1. Push (send) your changes from your copy of the repository, up to GitLab.
+ In this command, `origin` refers to the copy of the repository stored at GitLab.
+ Replace `BRANCHNAME` with the name of your branch:
+
+ ```shell
+ git push origin BRANCHNAME
+ ```
+
+1. Git prepares, compresses, and sends the data. Lines from the remote repository
+ (here, GitLab) are prefixed with `remote:` like this:
+
+ ```plaintext
+ Enumerating objects: 9, done.
+ Counting objects: 100% (9/9), done.
+ Delta compression using up to 10 threads
+ Compressing objects: 100% (5/5), done.
+ Writing objects: 100% (5/5), 1.84 KiB | 1.84 MiB/s, done.
+ Total 5 (delta 3), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 0
+ remote:
+ remote: To create a merge request for BRANCHNAME, visit:
+ remote: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/new?merge_request%5Bsource_branch%5D=BRANCHNAME
+ remote:
+ To https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab.git
+ * [new branch] BRANCHNAME -> BRANCHNAME
+ branch 'BRANCHNAME' set up to track 'origin/BRANCHNAME'.
+ ```
+
+Your file is now copied from your local copy of the repository, up to the remote
+repository at GitLab. To create a merge request, copy the link sent back from the remote
+repository and paste it into a browser window.
+
+## Add a new file
+
+To create a new file (like a `README.md` text file) in your repository, either:
+
+- [Create the file](../user/project/repository/web_editor.md#create-a-file) from the GitLab UI.
+- Create the file from the terminal.

-# Edit files through the command line **(FREE)**
+This document was moved to [another location](../user/index.md).
-When [working with Git from the command line](start-using-git.md), you need to
-use more than just the Git commands. There are several basic commands that you should
-learn to make full use of the command line.
-
-## Start working on your project
-
-To work on a Git project locally (from your own computer), with the command line,
-first you need to [clone (copy) it](start-using-git.md#clone-a-repository) to
-your computer.
-
-## Working with files on the command line
-
-This section has examples of some basic shell commands that you might find useful.
-For more information, search the web for _bash commands_.
-
-Alternatively, you can edit files using your choice of editor (IDE), or the GitLab user
-interface (not locally).
-
-### Common commands
-
-The list below is not exhaustive, but contains many of the most commonly used commands.
-
-| Command | Description |
-|--------------------------------|---------------------------------------------|
-| `cd NAME-OF-DIRECTORY` | Go into a directory to work in it |
-| `cd ..` | Go back one directory |
-| `ls` | List what's in the current directory |
-| `ls a*` | List what's in the current directory that starts with `a` |
-| `ls *.md` | List what's in the current directory that ends with `.md` |
-| `mkdir NAME-OF-YOUR-DIRECTORY` | Create a new directory |
-| `cat README.md` | Display the contents of a [text file you created previously](#create-a-text-file-in-the-current-directory) |
-| `pwd` | Show the current directory |
-| `clear` | Clear the shell window |
-
-### Create a text file in the current directory
-
-To create a text file from the command line, for example `README.md`, follow these
-steps:
-
-```shell
-touch README.md
-nano README.md
-#### ADD YOUR INFORMATION
-#### Press: control + X
-#### Type: Y
-#### Press: enter
-```
-
-### Remove a file or directory
-
-It's easy to delete (remove) a file or directory, but be careful:
-
-WARNING:
-This will **permanently** delete a file.
-
-```shell
-rm NAME-OF-FILE
-```
-
-WARNING:
-This will **permanently** delete a directory and **all** of its contents.
-
-```shell
-rm -r NAME-OF-DIRECTORY
-```
-
-### View and Execute commands from history
-
-You can view the history of all the commands you executed from the command line,
-and then execute any of them again, if needed.
-
-First, list the commands you executed previously:
-
-```shell
-history
-```
-
-Then, choose a command from the list and check the number next to the command (`123`,
-for example) . Execute the same full command with:
-
-```shell
-!123
-```
-
-### Carry out commands for which the account you are using lacks authority
-
-Not all commands can be executed from a basic user account on a computer, you may
-need administrator's rights to execute commands that affect the system, or try to access
-protected data, for example. You can use `sudo` to execute these commands, but you
-might be asked for an administrator password.
-
-```shell
-sudo RESTRICTED-COMMAND
-```
-
-WARNING:
-Be careful of the commands you run with `sudo`. Certain commands may cause
-damage to your data or system.
-
-## Sample Git task flow
-
-If you're completely new to Git, looking through some [sample task flows](https://rogerdudler.github.io/git-guide/)
-may help you understand the best practices for using these commands as you work.
-

For example, if you have a 3-node cluster with 4 cores each, this means you benefit from having at least 3*4=12 shards in the cluster. It's only possible to change the shards number by using [Split index API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-split-index.html) or by reindexing to a different index with a changed number of shards.
- The `Number of Elasticsearch replicas` setting should most of the time be equal to `1` (each shard has 1 replica). Using `0` is not recommended, because losing one node corrupts the index.

-
-1. Change 'CAS_PATH' to the root of your CAS instance (such as `cas`).
-
-1. If your CAS instance does not use default TGC lifetimes, update the `cas3.session_duration` to at least the current TGC maximum lifetime. To explicitly disable SLO, regardless of CAS settings, set this to 0.
-
-1. Save the configuration file.
-
-1. For the changes to take effect:
- - If you installed via Omnibus, [reconfigure GitLab](../administration/restart_gitlab.md#omnibus-gitlab-reconfigure).
- - If you installed from source, [restart GitLab](../administration/restart_gitlab.md#installations-from-source).

+
+## Security considerations
+
+The GitLab for Jira Cloud app connects GitLab and Jira. Data must be shared between the two applications, and access must be granted in both directions.
+
+### Access to GitLab through OAuth **(FREE SELF)**
+
+GitLab does not share an access token with Jira. However, users must authenticate through OAuth to configure the app.
+
+An access token is retrieved through a [PKCE](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7636) OAuth flow and stored only on the client side.
+The app frontend that initializes the OAuth flow is a JavaScript application that's loaded from GitLab through an iframe on Jira.
+
+The OAuth application must have the `api` scope, which grants complete read and write access to the API.
+This access includes all groups and projects, the container registry, and the package registry.
+However, the GitLab for Jira Cloud app only uses this access to:
+
+- Display groups to link.
+- Link groups.
+
+Access through OAuth is only needed for the time a user configures the GitLab for Jira Cloud app. For more information, see [Access token expiration](../oauth_provider.md#access-token-expiration).
+
+### Access to Jira through access token
-Other GitLab instances using the proxy must configure the **Jira Connect Proxy URL** setting and the [OAuth application](#set-up-oauth-authentication) **Redirect URI** to point to the proxy instance.
+Jira shares an access token with GitLab to authenticate and authorize data pushes to Jira.
+As part of the app installation process, Jira sends a handshake request to GitLab containing the access token.
+The handshake is signed with an [asymmetric JWT](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/understanding-jwt-for-connect-apps/),
+and the access token is stored encrypted with `AES256-GCM` on GitLab.

+and [removed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/118126) in 16.0. Use the [GitLab for Jira Cloud app](../connect-app.md) instead.
+The Jira DVCS connector was also deprecated and removed for Jira 8.13 and earlier. You can only use the Jira DVCS connector with Jira Data Center or Jira Server in Jira 8.14 and later. Upgrade your Jira instance to Jira 8.14 or later, and reconfigure the Jira integration in your GitLab instance.
-- Comment on issues.
-- Record time-tracking information against issues.
-- Transition issues to any status defined in the Jira project's workflow.
-
-Commands must be in the first line of the commit message. The
-[Jira Software documentation](https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/process-issues-with-smart-commits/)
-contains more information about how Smart Commits work, and what commands are available
-for your use.
-
-For Smart Commits to work, the committing user on GitLab must have a corresponding
-user on Jira with the same email address or username.
-
-### Smart Commit syntax
-
-Smart Commits should follow the pattern of:
+Use the Jira DVCS (distributed version control system) connector if you self-host
+your Jira instance with Jira Data Center or Jira Server and want to use the [Jira development panel](../development_panel.md).
-```plaintext
-<ISSUE_KEY> <ignored text> #<command> <optional command parameters>
-```
+If you're on Jira Cloud, migrate to the GitLab for Jira Cloud app. For more information, see [Install the GitLab for Jira Cloud app](../connect-app.md#install-the-gitlab-for-jira-cloud-app).
-Some examples:
+## Configure the Jira DVCS connector
-- Add a comment to a Jira issue: `KEY-123 fixes a bug #comment Bug is fixed.`
-- Record time tracking: `KEY-123 #time 2w 4d 10h 52m Tracking work time.`
-- Close an issue: `KEY-123 #close Closing issue`
+### Prerequisites
-A Smart Commit message must not span more than one line (no carriage returns) but
-you can still perform multiple actions in a single commit. For example:
+- Your GitLab instance must be accessible by Jira.
+- You must have at least the Maintainer role for the GitLab group.
+- Your network must allow inbound and outbound connections between GitLab and Jira.
-- Add time tracking, add a comment, and transition to **Closed**:
+### Create a GitLab application for DVCS
- ```plaintext
- KEY-123 #time 2d 5h #comment Task completed ahead of schedule #close
- ```
+- **For projects in a single group**, you should create a [group application](../../oauth_provider.md#create-a-group-owned-application).
+- **For projects across multiple groups**, you should create a separate GitLab user account for Jira integration work only.
+ This account ensures regular maintenance does not affect your integration.
+- **If you cannot create a group application or separate user account**, you can create instead:
+ - [An instance-wide application](../../oauth_provider.md#create-an-instance-wide-application)
+ - [A user-owned application](../../oauth_provider.md#create-a-user-owned-application)
-- Add a comment, transition to **In-progress**, and add time tracking:
+To create a GitLab application for DVCS:
- ```plaintext
- KEY-123 #comment started working on the issue #in-progress #time 12d 5h
- ```
+1. Go to the [appropriate **Applications** section](../../oauth_provider.md).
+1. In the **Name** text box, enter a descriptive name for the integration (for example, `Jira`).
+1. In the **Redirect URI** text box, enter the generated **Redirect URL** from
+ [linking GitLab accounts](https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/linking-gitlab-accounts-1027142272.html).
+1. In **Scopes**, select `api` and clear any other checkboxes.
+ The Jira DVCS connector requires a **write-enabled** `api` scope to automatically create and manage required webhooks.
+1. Select **Submit**.
+1. Copy the **Application ID** and **Secret** values.
+ You need these values to configure Jira.
-## Configure a GitLab application for DVCS
+### Configure Jira for DVCS
-For projects in a single group we recommend you create a [group application](../../oauth_provider.md#create-a-group-owned-application).
-For projects across multiple groups we recommend you create and use a `jira` user in GitLab, and use the account
-only for integration work. A separate account ensures regular account
-maintenance does not affect your integration. If a `jira` user or group application is not feasible,
-you can set up this integration as an [instance-wide application](../../oauth_provider.md#create-an-instance-wide-application)
-or with a [user owned application](../../oauth_provider.md#create-a-user-owned-application) instead.

-### Jira integration
+### Jira issue integration
-This integration connects one or more GitLab projects to a Jira instance. You can host
-the Jira instance yourself or in [Atlassian Cloud](https://www.atlassian.com/migration/assess/why-cloud).
-The supported Jira versions are `6.x`, `7.x`, `8.x`, and `9.x`.

Whether the checkbox is 128 or 256 bit depends on the encryption strength used when you created the keytab. To check this, on the Active Directory server:
+
+1. Open the **Users and Groups** tool.
+1. Locate the account that you used to create the keytab.
+1. Right-click the account and select **Properties**.
+1. In **Account Options** on the **Account** tab, select the appropriate AES encryption support checkbox.
+1. Save and close.
+
## Troubleshooting
+### Using Google Chrome with Kerberos authentication against Windows AD
+
+When you use Google Chrome to sign in to GitLab with Kerberos, you must enter your full username. For example, `username@domain.com`.
+
+If you do not enter your full username, the sign-in fails. Check the logs to see the following event message as evidence of this sign-in failure:
+
+```plain
+"message":"OmniauthKerberosController: failed to process Negotiate/Kerberos authentication: gss_accept_sec_context did not return GSS_S_COMPLETE: An unsupported mechanism was requested\nUnknown error"`.
+```
+
### Test connectivity between the GitLab and Kerberos servers
You can use utilities like [`kinit`](https://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-1.12/doc/user/user_commands/kinit.html) and [`klist`](https://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-1.12/doc/user/user_commands/klist.html) to test connectivity between the GitLab server

Customers Portal ->> Marketplace partner system: Success response with order status
```
-## Prerequisites
+## Marketplace API Specification
+
+OpenAPI specs for the Marketplace APIs are available at [Marketplace interactive API documentation](https://customers.staging.gitlab.com/openapi_docs/marketplace).
+
+## Access the Marketplace API
+
+To access the Marketplace API you need to:
+
+- Request access from GitLab.
+- Retrieve an OAuth access token.
+
+Marketplace API endpoints are secured with [OAuth 2.0](https://oauth.net/2/). OAuth is an authorization framework
+that grants 3rd party or client applications, like a Marketplace partner application, limited access to resources on an
+HTTP service, like the Customers Portal.
+
+OAuth 2.0 uses _grant types_ (or _flows_) that describe how a client application gets authorization in
+the form of an _access token_. An access token is a string that the client application uses to make authorized requests to
+the resource server.
+
+The Marketplace API uses the `client_credentials` grant type. The client application uses the access token to access its
+own resources, instead of accessing resources on behalf of a user.
+
+### Step 1: Request access
-Before a marketplace partner client can use the Marketplace API, GitLab must set up the following configurations for the client:
+Before you can use the Marketplace API, you must contact your Marketplace partner Manager or email [`partnerorderops`](mailto:partnerorderops@gitlab.com)
+to request access. After you request access, GitLab configures the following accounts and credentials for you:
-1. Client credential. Marketplace APIs are secured with OAuth 2.0. A client credential is required to get the OAuth token.
+1. Client credentials. Marketplace APIs are secured with OAuth 2.0. The client credentials include the client ID and client secret
+ that you need to retrieve the OAuth access token.
1. Invoice owner account in Zuora system. Required for invoice processing.
1. Distributor account in Salesforce system.
-1. Trading partner account in Salesforce system.
+1. Trading partner account in Salesforce system. GitLab adds the Trading Partner ID to a permitted list to pass the validations.
-Interested GitLab Partners should contact their GitLab Partner Manager or email [`partnerorderops`](mailto:partnerorderops@gitlab.com).
+### Step 2: Retrieve an access token
-## Marketplace API Specification
+To retrieve an access token,
+
+- Make a POST request to the [`/oauth/token`](https://customers.staging.gitlab.com/openapi_docs/marketplace#/marketplace/post_oauth_token) endpoint with the following required parameters:
+
+| Parameter | Type | Required |Description |
+|-----------------|--------|----------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| `client_id` | string | yes |ID of your client application record on the Customers Portal. Received from GitLab. |
+| `client_secret` | string | yes |Secret of your client application record on the Customers Portal. Received from GitLab. |
+| `grant_type` | string | yes |Specifies the type of credential flow. Use `client_credentials`. |
+| `scope` | string | yes |Specifies the level of access. Use `marketplace.order:read` for read-only access. Use `marketplace.order:create` for create access. |
+
+If the request is successful, the response body includes the access token that you can use in subsequent requests. For an example of a successful
+response, see the [Marketplace interactive API documentation](https://customers.staging.gitlab.com/openapi_docs/marketplace)
+
+If the request is unsuccessful, the response body includes an error and error description. The errors can be:
+
+| Status | Description |
+|--------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| 400 | Invalid scope. Ensure the `scope` is `marketplace.order:read` or `marketplace.order:create`. |
+| 401 | Invalid client. Ensure that there are no typos or extra spaces on the client specific credentials. Incorrect `client_id` or `client_secret` |
+
+### Step 3: Use the access token
+
+To use the access token from a client application:
+
+1. Set the `Authorization` header of the request to `Bearer <your_access_token>`.
+1. Set parameters or data needed for the endpoint and send the request.
+
+Example request:
+
+```shell
+curl \
+ --url "https://customers.staging.gitlab.com/api/v1/marketplace/subscriptions/:external_subscription_id" \
+ --header "Authorization: Bearer NHb_VhZhPOnBTSNfBSzmCmt28lLDWb2xtwr_c3DL148"
+```
+
+## Create a new customer subscription
+
+To create a new customer subscription from a Marketplace partner client application,
+
+- Make an authorized POST request to the
+[`/api/v1/marketplace/subscriptions`](https://customers.staging.gitlab.com/openapi_docs/marketplace#/marketplace/post_api_v1_marketplace_subscriptions)
+endpoint in the Customers Portal with the following parameters in JSON format:
+
+| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
+|--------------------------|--------|----------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| `externalSubscriptionId` | string | yes | ID of the subscription on the Marketplace partner system. |
+| `tradingPartnerId` | string | yes | ID of the Trading Partner account in Salesforce. Received from GitLab. |
+| `customer` | object | yes | Information about the customer. Must include company name. Contact must include `firstName`, `lastName` and `email`. Address must include `country`. |
+| `orderLines` | array | yes | Specifies the product purchased. Must include `quantity` and `productId`. |
+
+If the request is successful, the response body includes the newly created subscription number. For an example of a full request body,
+see the [Marketplace interactive API documentation](https://customers.staging.gitlab.com/openapi_docs/marketplace).
+
+If the subscription creation is unsuccessful, the response body includes an error message with details about the cause of the error.
+
+## Check the status of a subscription
+
+To get the status of a given subscription,
+
+- Make an authorized GET request to the
+[`/api/v1/marketplace/subscriptions/{external_subscription_id}`](https://customers.staging.gitlab.com/openapi_docs/marketplace#/marketplace/get_api_v1_marketplace_subscriptions__external_subscription_id_)
+endpoint in the Customers Portal.
+
+The request must include the Marketplace partner system ID of the subscription to fetch the status for.
+
+If the request is successful, the response body contains the status of the subscription provision. The status can be:
+
+- Creating
+- Created
+- Failed
+- Provisioned
-OpenAPI specs for the Marketplace APIs are available upon request. The specs will be made public before the end of Q1 2023.
+If the subscription cannot be found using the passed `external_subscription_id`, the response has

+### Known limitations
+
+Only basic support is provided with `capture_exception` as the holding method.
+Additional features requests (see this [issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/340178)) are added on a case-by-case basis.
+
+### Debugging issues
+
+The majority of languages are supported by Sentry expose `debug` option as part of initialization.
+It is also possible to output JSON before it is sent to the API.
+See the [Go example](#go) below for a suggested solution.
+
+### Enabling error tracking
+
+Regardless of the programming language, you need to enable error tracking for your project. This doc assumes you already have a project for which you want to enable error tracking.
+This example uses the `gitlab.com` instance.
+
+To enable error tracking, follow these steps:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > Monitor**.
+1. Expand the **Error Tracking** tab.
+1. Under **Enable error tracking**, select the **Active** checkbox.
+1. Under **Error tracking backend**, select **GitLab**.
+1. Select **Save changes**.
+1. Copy the DSN string to use later.
+
+### Listing captured errors
+
+Once your application has emitted errors to the Error Tracking API through the Sentry SDK, they should be available under **Monitor > Error Tracking** tab/section.
+
+For more details, refer to the [GitLab error tracking documentation](https://gitlab.com/help/operations/error_tracking#error-tracking-list).
+
+This process assumes the GDK feature flag `integrated_error_tracking` is enabled. If you are running GDK locally and you do not see the option for error tracking, you can enable it by running the following commands:
+
+```linux
+cd <PATH_TO_GDK>
+gdk rails console
+Feature.enable(:integrated_error_tracking)
+```
+
+### Emitting errors
+
+#### Supported Sentry types
+
+According to the [data model](https://develop.sentry.dev/sdk/envelopes/#data-model), the available item types are:
+
+- [Event](https://develop.sentry.dev/sdk/event-payloads/)
+- [Transactions](https://develop.sentry.dev/sdk/event-payloads/transaction/)
+- Attachment
+- [Session](https://develop.sentry.dev/sdk/sessions/)
+- [Sessions](https://develop.sentry.dev/sdk/sessions/)
+- [User feedback](https://develop.sentry.dev/sdk/envelopes/#user-feedback) (also known as user report)
+- [Client report](https://develop.sentry.dev/sdk/client-reports/)
+
+Items of various types can be sent to the error tracking app, using either the Store endpoint, the envelope endpoint, or both. The following table lists all event types available through Sentry SDK. It also explains which endpoint can be used for ingestion and whether it is supported by GitLab Observability Backend.
+
+Event item types can contain various interfaces, such as exception, message, stack trace, and template. You can read more about the core data interfaces in [Sentry documentation](https://develop.sentry.dev/sdk/event-payloads/#core-interfaces).
+
+| Item type | Interface | Can be sent through the Store endpoint | Can be sent through the Envelope endpoint | Supported |

+
+#### Supported languages
+
+Each language shows a basic example of how to capture exceptions with the respective SDK.
+For more in-depth documentation, see [documentation for Sentry SDK](https://docs.sentry.io/). You can also find information for additional programming languages.
+
+Only a subset of languages is supported.
+
+The following table lists them:
+
+| Sentry SDK | Supported? |
+| ----------- | ----------- |
+| Ruby | Yes |
+| Go | Yes |
+| JavaScript | Yes |

-Integrated error tracking is a lightweight alternative to Sentry backend.
-You still use Sentry SDK with your application. But you don't need to deploy Sentry
-or set up for cloud-hosted Sentry. Instead, you use GitLab as a backend for it.
+#### Go
-Sentry backend automatically assigns a Data Source Name (DSN) for every project you create.
-GitLab does the same. You should be able to find a DSN for your project in the GitLab error tracking
-settings. By using a GitLab-provided DSN, your application connects to GitLab to report an error.
-Those errors are stored in the GitLab database and rendered by the GitLab UI, in the same way as
-Sentry integration.

- ![Error Tracking Settings DSN](img/error_tracking_setting_dsn_v14_4.png)
+The Sentry DSN (client key) is a secret and it should not be exposed to the public. If it's leaked, you can rotate the Sentry DSN with the following steps:
-1. Take the DSN from the previous step and configure your Sentry SDK with it. Errors are now
- reported to the GitLab collector and are visible in the [GitLab UI](#error-tracking-list).
+1. [Create an access token](../user/profile/personal_access_tokens.md#create-a-personal-access-token) by clicking your profile picture in GitLab.com. Then choose Preferences,then Access Token. Make sure you add the API scope.
+1. Using the [error tracking API](../api/error_tracking.md), create a new Sentry DSN with the following command:
-#### Managing DSN
+ ```shell
+ curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/<your_project_number>/error_tracking/client_keys"
+ ```

-# Set up alerts for Prometheus metrics **(FREE)**
+# Set up alerts for Prometheus metrics (removed) **(FREE)**
-After [configuring metrics for your CI/CD environment](index.md), you can set up
-alerting for Prometheus metrics, and
-[trigger actions from alerts](#trigger-actions-from-alerts) to notify
-your team when environment performance falls outside of the boundaries you set.
-
-## Prometheus cluster integrations
-
-Alerts are not supported for [Prometheus cluster integrations](../../user/clusters/integrations.md).
-
-## Trigger actions from alerts **(ULTIMATE)**
-
-> - Introduced in GitLab 13.1: incidents are not created automatically by default .
-> - Mapping common severity values from the alert payload ([introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/50871) in GitLab 13.9.
-
-Turn on creating [incidents](../incident_management/incidents.md) automatically whenever an alert is triggered.
-
-Prerequisites:
-
-- You must have at least the Maintainer role for the project.
-
-To configure the actions:
-
-1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
-1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > Monitor**.
-1. Expand the **Alerts** section, then select the **Alert settings** tab.
-1. Select the **Create an incident** checkbox.
-1. Optional. To customize the incident, from the **Incident template**, select a template to be
- appended to the [incident summary](../incident_management/incidents.md#summary).
- If the dropdown list is empty,
- [create an issue template](../../user/project/description_templates.md#create-an-issue-template) first.
-1. Optional. To send [an email notification](../incident_management/paging.md#email-notifications-for-alerts), select the
- **Send a single email notification to Owners and Maintainers for new alerts** checkbox.
-1. Select **Save changes**.
-
-### Fields in automatically created incidents
-
-Incidents [created automatically from an alert](#trigger-actions-from-alerts) are filled with
-values extracted from the `alerts` field in the
-[webhook payload](https://prometheus.io/docs/alerting/latest/configuration/#webhook_config):
-
-- Incident author: `GitLab Alert Bot`
-- Incident title: Extracted from the alert payload fields `annotations/title`, `annotations/summary`, or `labels/alertname`.
-- Incident description: Extracted from alert payload field `annotations/description`.
-- Alert `Summary`: A list of properties from the alert's payload.
- - `starts_at`: Alert start time from the payload's `startsAt` field
- - `full_query`: Alert query extracted from the payload's `generatorURL` field
- - Optional list of attached annotations extracted from `annotations/*`
-- Alert [GLFM](../../user/markdown.md): GitLab Flavored Markdown from the payload's `annotations/gitlab_incident_markdown` field.
-- Alert severity:
- Extracted from the alert payload field `labels/severity`. Maps case-insensitive
- value to [Alert's severity](../incident_management/alerts.md#alert-severity):
-
- | Alert payload | Mapped to alert severity |
- | ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
- | Critical | `critical`, `s1`, `p1`, `emergency`, `fatal`, or any value not in this list |
- | High | `high`, `s2`, `p2`, `major`, `page` |
- | Medium | `medium`, `s3`, `p3`, `error`, `alert` |
- | Low | `low`, `s4`, `p4`, `warn`, `warning` |
- | Info | `info`, `s5`, `p5`, `debug`, `information`, `notice` |
-
-To further customize the incident, you can add labels, mentions, or any other supported
-[quick action](../../user/project/quick_actions.md) in the selected issue template,
-which applies to all incidents. To limit quick actions or other information to
-only specific types of alerts, use the `annotations/gitlab_incident_markdown` field.
-
-GitLab tags each incident issue with the `incident` label automatically. If the label
-does not yet exist, it's created automatically.
-
-### Recovery alerts
-
-The alert in GitLab is automatically resolved when Prometheus
-sends a payload with the field `status` set to `resolved`.
-
-You can also configure the associated [incident to be closed automatically](../incident_management/manage_incidents.md#automatically-close-incidents-via-recovery-alerts) when the alert resolves.

+# GitLab-defined metrics dashboards (removed) **(FREE)**
-> [Deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/346541) in GitLab 14.7.
-
-WARNING:
-This feature is in its end-of-life process. It is [deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/346541)
-in GitLab 14.7, and is planned for removal in GitLab 16.0.
-
-GitLab provides some dashboards out-of-the-box for any project with
-[Prometheus available](../../../user/project/integrations/prometheus.md). You can
-[duplicate these GitLab-defined dashboards](index.md#duplicate-a-gitlab-defined-dashboard):
-
-- [Overview dashboard](#overview-dashboard).
-- [Kubernetes pod health dashboard](#kubernetes-pod-health-dashboard).
-
-To learn about the components of a dashboard, read
-[Metrics dashboard for your CI/CD environment](../index.md).
-
-## Overview dashboard
-
-This dashboard is the default metrics dashboard. It displays a large number of
-metrics about the [deployed application](../index.md#configure-prometheus-to-gather-metrics).
-
-![Example of metrics dashboard](../img/example-dashboard_v13_3.png)
-
-## Kubernetes pod health dashboard
-
-This dashboard requires Kubernetes v1.14 or higher, due to the
-[change in metric labels](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/69099)
-in Kubernetes 1.14.
-
-This dashboard displays CPU, memory, network and disk metrics for the pods in your
-[connected Kubernetes cluster](../../../user/infrastructure/clusters/index.md). It provides a
-[variable selector](templating_variables.md#metric_label_values-variable-type)
-at the top of the dashboard to select which pod's metrics to display.

-# Custom dashboards (DEPRECATED) **(FREE)**
+# Custom dashboards (removed) **(FREE)**
-> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/59974) in GitLab 12.1.
-> - [Deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/346541) in GitLab 14.7.
-
-WARNING:
-This feature is in its end-of-life process. It is [deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/346541)
-in GitLab 14.7, and is planned for removal in GitLab 16.0.
-
-By default, all projects include a [GitLab-defined Prometheus dashboard](default.md), which
-includes a few key metrics, but you can also define your own custom dashboards.
-
-You may create a [new dashboard from scratch](#add-a-new-dashboard-to-your-project)
-or [duplicate a GitLab-defined Prometheus dashboard](#duplicate-a-gitlab-defined-dashboard).
-
-## Add a new dashboard to your project
-
-> UI option [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/228856) in GitLab 13.3.
-
-You can configure a custom dashboard by adding a new YAML file into your project's
-`.gitlab/dashboards/` directory. For the dashboard to display on your project's
-**Monitor > Metrics** page, the files must have a `.yml`
-extension and be present in your project's **default** branch.
-
-To create a new dashboard from the GitLab user interface:
-
-1. Sign in to GitLab as a user with Maintainer or Owner
- [permissions](../../../user/permissions.md#project-members-permissions).
-1. Navigate to your dashboard at **Monitor > Metrics**.
-1. In the upper-right corner of your dashboard, select the **{ellipsis_v}** **More actions** menu,
- and select **Create new**:
- ![Monitoring Dashboard actions menu with create new item](img/actions_menu_create_new_dashboard_v13_3.png)
-1. In the modal window, select **Open Repository**, then follow the instructions
- for creating a new dashboard from the command line.
-
-To create a new dashboard from the command line:
-
-1. Create `.gitlab/dashboards/prom_alerts.yml` under your repository's root
- directory. Each YAML file should define the layout of the dashboard and the
- Prometheus queries used to populate data. This example dashboard displays a
- single area chart:
-
- ```yaml
- dashboard: 'Dashboard Title'
- panel_groups:
- - group: 'Group Title'
- panels:
- - type: area-chart
- title: 'Chart Title'
- y_label: 'Y-Axis'
- y_axis:
- format: number
- precision: 0
- metrics:
- - id: my_metric_id
- query_range: 'http_requests_total'
- label: 'Instance: {{instance}}, method: {{method}}'
- unit: 'count'
- ```
-
-1. Save the file, commit, and push to your repository. The file must be present in your **default** branch.
-1. Navigate to your project's **Monitor > Metrics** and choose the custom
- dashboard from the dropdown list.
-
-Your custom dashboard is available at `https://example.com/project/-/metrics/custom_dashboard_name.yml`.
-
-NOTE:
-Configuration files nested under subdirectories of `.gitlab/dashboards` aren't
-supported or available in the UI.
-
-## Add a new metrics panel to a dashboard
-
-> UI option [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/228761) in GitLab 13.3.
-
-The metrics dashboard supports various [multiple panel types](../../../operations/metrics/dashboards/panel_types.md).
-You can quickly test how a panel configuration would display in your metrics dashboard
-with the **Add Panel** page:
-
-1. Sign in to GitLab as a user with Maintainer or Owner
- [permissions](../../../user/permissions.md#project-members-permissions).
-1. Select **Add panel** in the **{ellipsis_v}** **More actions** menu.
-
- NOTE:
- You can only add panels to custom dashboards.
-
- ![Monitoring Dashboard actions menu with add panel item](img/actions_menu_create_add_panel_v13_3.png)
-1. In the **Define and preview panel** section, paste in the YAML you want to
- preview in the **Panel YAML** field.
-1. Select **Preview panel**, and GitLab displays a preview of the chart below the
- `Define and preview panel` section:
- ![Monitoring Dashboard Add Panel page](img/metrics_dashboard_panel_preview_v13_3.png)
-
-## Duplicate a GitLab-defined dashboard
-
-> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/37238) in GitLab 12.7.
-> - [GitLab versions 12.8 and later](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/39505), custom metrics are also duplicated when you duplicate a dashboard.
-
-You can save a complete copy of a GitLab-defined dashboard along with all custom metrics added to it.
-The resulting `.yml` file can be customized and adapted to your project.
-You can decide to save the dashboard `.yml` file in the project's **default** branch or in a
-new branch. To duplicate a GitLab-defined dashboard:
-
-1. Select **Duplicate current dashboard** in the **{ellipsis_v}** **More actions** menu.
-1. Enter the filename and other information, such as the new commit's message, and select **Duplicate**.
-1. Select a branch to add your dashboard to:
- - *If you select your **default** branch,* the new dashboard becomes immediately available.
- - *If you select another branch,* this branch should be merged to your **default** branch first.
-
-Your custom dashboard is available at `https://example.com/project/-/metrics/custom_dashboard_name.yml`.
-
-## Manage the metrics dashboard settings
-
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/223204) in GitLab 13.2.
-
-Users with project Maintainer or Administrator
-[permissions](../../../user/permissions.md#project-members-permissions)
-can manage [the settings](settings.md) for your metrics dashboard.
-
-## Chart Context Menu
-
-You can take action related to a chart's data by selecting the
-**{ellipsis_v}** **More actions** dropdown list above the upper right corner of
-any chart on a dashboard:
-
-![Context Menu](img/panel_context_menu_v14_0.png)
-
-The options are:
-
-- **Expand panel** - Displays a larger version of a visualization. To return to
- the dashboard, select the **Back** button in your browser, or press the <kbd>Escape</kbd> key.
- ([Introduced](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/3100) in GitLab 13.0.)
-- **Download CSV** - Data from Prometheus charts on the metrics dashboard can be downloaded as CSV.
-- [Copy link to chart](../embed.md#embedding-gitlab-managed-kubernetes-metrics)
-
-### Timeline zoom and URL sharing
-
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/198910) in GitLab 12.8.
-
-You can use the **Timeline zoom** function at the bottom of a chart to zoom in
-on a date and time of your choice. When you select and drag the sliders to select
-a different beginning or end date of data to display, GitLab adds your selected start
-and end times to the URL, enabling you to share specific time frames more easily.
-
-## Dashboard Annotations
-
-> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/211330) in GitLab 12.10 (enabled by feature flag `metrics_dashboard_annotations`).
-> - [Feature flag removed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/215224) in GitLab 13.0.
-
-You can use **Metrics Dashboard Annotations** to mark any important events on
-every metrics dashboard by adding annotations to it. While viewing a dashboard,
-annotation entries assigned to the selected time range are automatically
-fetched and displayed on every chart within that dashboard. On mouse hover, each
-annotation presents additional details, including the exact time of an event and
-its description.
-
-You can create annotations by making requests to the
-[Metrics dashboard annotations API](../../../api/metrics_dashboard_annotations.md)
-
-![Annotations UI](img/metrics_dashboard_annotations_ui_v13.0.png)
-
-### Annotation retention policy
-
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/211433) in GitLab 13.01.
-
-To avoid excessive storage space consumption by stale annotations, records attached
-to time periods older than two weeks are removed daily. This recurring background
-job runs at 1:00 a.m. local server time.
-
-## Add related links to custom dashboards
-
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/216385) in GitLab 13.1.
-
-You can embed links to other dashboards or external services in your custom
-dashboard by adding **Related links** to your dashboard's YAML file. Related links
-open in the same tab as the dashboard. Related links can be displayed in the
-following locations on your dashboard:
-
-- At the top of your dashboard as the top level [`links` dashboard property](../../../operations/metrics/dashboards/yaml.md#dashboard-top-level-properties).
-- In charts context menus as the [`links` property of a panel](../../../operations/metrics/dashboards/yaml.md#panel-panels-properties).
-
-Related links can contain the following attributes:
-
-- `url`: The full URL to the link. Required.
-- `title`: A phrase describing the link. Optional. If this attribute is not set,
- the full URL is used for the link title.
-- `type`: A string declaring the type of link. Optional. If set to `grafana`, the
- dashboard's time range values are converted to the Grafana time range format and
- appended to the `url`.
-
-The dashboard's time range is appended to the `url` as URL parameters.
-
-The following example shows two related links (`GitLab.com` and `GitLab Documentation`)
-added to a dashboard:
-
-![Links UI](img/related_links_v13_1.png)
-
-### Links Syntax
-
-```yaml
-links:
- - title: GitLab.com
- url: https://gitlab.com
- - title: GitLab Documentation
- url: https://docs.gitlab.com
- - title: Public Grafana playground dashboard
- url: https://play.grafana.org/d/000000012/grafana-play-home?orgId=1
- type: grafana
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Accessing the UI of Prometheus in Kubernetes
-
-When troubleshooting issues with an in-cluster Prometheus, it can help to
-view the Prometheus UI. In the example below, we assume the Prometheus
-server to be the pod `prometheus-prometheus-server` in the `gitlab-managed-apps`
-namespace:
-
-1. Find the name of the Prometheus pod in the user interface of your Kubernetes
- provider, such as GKE, or by running the following `kubectl` command in your
- terminal. For example:
-
- ```shell
- kubectl get pods -n gitlab-managed-apps | grep 'prometheus-prometheus-server'
- ```
-
- The command should return a result like the following example, where
- `prometheus-prometheus-server-55b4bd64c9-dpc6b` is the name of the Prometheus pod:
-
- ```plaintext
- gitlab-managed-apps prometheus-prometheus-server-55b4bd64c9-dpc6b 2/2 Running 0 71d
- ```
-
-1. Run a `kubectl port-forward` command. In the following example, `9090` is the
- Prometheus server's listening port:
-
- ```shell
- kubectl port-forward prometheus-prometheus-server-55b4bd64c9-dpc6b 9090:9090 -n gitlab-managed-apps
- ```
-
- The `port-forward` command forwards all requests sent to your system's `9090` port
- to the `9090` port of the Prometheus pod. If the `9090` port on your system is used
- by another application, you can change the port number before the colon to your
- desired port. For example, to forward port `8080` of your local system, change the
- command to:
-
- ```shell
- kubectl port-forward prometheus-prometheus-server-55b4bd64c9-dpc6b 8080:9090 -n gitlab-managed-apps
- ```
-
-1. Open `localhost:9090` in your browser to display the Prometheus user interface.
-
-### "No data found" error on Metrics dashboard page
-
-If the "No data found" screen continues to appear, it could be due to:
-
-- No successful deployments have occurred to this environment.
-- Prometheus does not have performance data for this environment, or the metrics
- are not labeled correctly. To test this, connect to the Prometheus server and
- [run a query](../../../user/project/integrations/prometheus_library/kubernetes.md#metrics-supported), replacing `$CI_ENVIRONMENT_SLUG`
- with the name of your environment.
-- You may need to re-add the GitLab predefined common metrics. This can be done by running the [import common metrics Rake task](../../../administration/raketasks/maintenance.md#import-common-metrics).

-
-Starting in [version 12.8](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/202696), the y-axis values scale according to the data. Previously, it always started from 0.
-
-## Anomaly chart
-
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/16530) in GitLab 12.5.
-
-To add an anomaly chart panel type to a dashboard, add a panel with *exactly* 3 metrics.
-
-The first metric represents the current state, and the second and third metrics represent the upper and lower limit respectively:
-
-```yaml
-dashboard: 'Dashboard Title'

-
-## Stacked column
-
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/30583) in GitLab 12.8.
-
-To add a stacked column panel type to a dashboard, look at the following sample dashboard file:
-
-```yaml
-dashboard: 'Dashboard title'
-priority: 1
-panel_groups:
- - group: 'Group Title'
- priority: 5
- panels:
- - type: 'stacked-column'
- title: 'Stacked column'

-| `type` | string | yes | Type of panel to be rendered. For stacked column panel types, set to `stacked-column` |
-| `query_range` | yes | yes | For stacked column panel types, you must use a [range query](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/api/#range-queries) |
-
-## Single Stat
-
-To add a single stat panel type to a dashboard, look at the following sample dashboard file:
-
-```yaml
-dashboard: 'Dashboard Title'
-panel_groups:
- - group: 'Group Title'
- panels:
- - title: 'Single Stat'
- type: 'single-stat'
- metrics:
- - id: 10
- query: 'max(go_memstats_alloc_bytes{job="prometheus"})'
- unit: MB
- label: 'Total'
-```
-
-Note the following properties:
-
-| Property | Type | Required | Description |
-| ------- | ------ | ------ | ------ |
-| `type` | string | yes | Type of panel to be rendered. For single stat panel types, set to `single-stat` |
-| `field` | string | no | Panels display the value of a metric. For a panel to display the value of a label instead, put the name of the label in this key. |
-| `query` | string | yes | For single stat panel types, you must use an [instant query](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/api/#instant-queries). |
-
-![single stat panel type](img/prometheus_dashboard_single_stat_panel_type.png)
-
-## Percentile based results
-
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/201946) in GitLab 12.8.
-
-Query results sometimes need to be represented as a percentage value out of 100. You can use the `max_value` property at the root of the panel definition:
-
-```yaml
-dashboard: 'Dashboard Title'
-panel_groups:
- - group: 'Group Title'
- panels:
- - title: 'Single Stat'
- type: 'single-stat'
- max_value: 100
- metrics:
- - id: 10
- query: 'max(go_memstats_alloc_bytes{job="prometheus"})'
- unit: '%'
- label: 'Total'
-```
-
-For example, if you have a query value of `53.6`, adding `%` as the unit results in a single stat value of `53.6%`, but if the maximum expected value of the query is `120`, the value would be `44.6%`. Adding the `max_value` causes the correct percentage value to display.
-
-## Gauge
-
-WARNING:
-This panel type is an [Alpha](../../../policy/alpha-beta-support.md#alpha-features) feature, and is subject to change at any time
-without prior notice!
-
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/207044) in GitLab 13.3.
-
-To add a gauge panel type to a dashboard, look at the following sample dashboard file:
-
-```yaml
-dashboard: 'Dashboard Title'
-panel_groups:
- - group: 'Group Title'
- panels:
- - title: 'Gauge'
- type: 'gauge'
- min_value: 0
- max_value: 1000
- split: 5
- thresholds:
- values: [60, 90]
- mode: 'percentage'
- format: 'kilobytes'
- metrics:
- - id: 10
- query: 'floor(max(prometheus_http_response_size_bytes_bucket)/1000)'
- unit: 'kb'
-```
-
-Note the following properties:
-
-| Property | Type | Required | Description |
-| ------------ | ------ | ------ | ------ |
-| `type` | string | yes | Type of panel to be rendered. For gauge panel types, set to `gauge`. |
-| `min_value` | number | no, defaults to `0` | The minimum value of the gauge chart axis. If either of `min_value` or `max_value` are not set, they both get their default values. |
-| `max_value` | number | no, defaults to `100` | The maximum value of the gauge chart axis. If either of `min_value` or `max_value` are not set, they both get their default values. |
-| `split` | number | no, defaults to `10` | The amount of split segments on the gauge chart axis. |
-| `thresholds` | object | no | Thresholds configuration for the gauge chart axis. |
-| `format` | string | no, defaults to `engineering` | Unit format used. See the [full list of units](yaml_number_format.md). |
-| `query` | string | yes | For gauge panel types, you must use an [instant query](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/api/#instant-queries). |
-
-### Thresholds properties
-
-| Property | Type | Required | Description |
-| ------ | ------ | ------ | ------ |
-| values | array | no, defaults to 95% of the range between `min_value` and `max_value`| An array of gauge chart axis threshold values. |
-| mode | string | no, defaults to `absolute` | The mode in which the thresholds are interpreted in relation to `min_value` and `max_value`. Can be either `percentage` or `absolute`. |
-

-
-## Heatmaps
-
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/30581) in GitLab 12.5.
-
-To add a heatmap panel type to a dashboard, look at the following sample dashboard file:
-
-```yaml
-dashboard: 'Dashboard Title'
-panel_groups:
- - group: 'Group Title'
- panels:
- - title: 'Heatmap'
- type: 'heatmap'
- metrics:
- - id: 10
- query: 'sum(rate(nginx_upstream_responses_total{upstream=~"%{kube_namespace}-%{ci_environment_slug}-.*"}[60m])) by (status_code)'
- unit: req/sec
- label: 'Status code'
-```
-
-Note the following properties:
-
-| Property | Type | Required | Description |
-| ------ | ------ | ------ | ------ |
-| `type` | string | yes | Type of panel to be rendered. For heatmap panel types, set to `heatmap` |
-| `query_range` | yes | yes | For area panel types, you must use a [range query](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/api/#range-queries) |
-
-![heatmap panel type](img/heatmap_panel_type.png)
-
-WARNING:
-When a query returns too many data points, the heatmap data bucket dimensions tend downwards to 0, making the chart's data invisible, as shown in the image below. To fix this problem, limit the amount of data returned by changing the time range filter on the metrics dashboard UI, or adding the **step** property to your dashboard's YAML file.

-on the dashboard UI, allowing you to enter a value for each variable.
-
-The `text` variable type supports a simple and a full syntax.
-
-### Simple syntax
-
-This example creates a variable called `variable1`, with a default value
-of `default value`:
-
-```yaml
-templating:
- variables:
- variable1: 'default value' # `text` type variable with `default value` as its default.
-```
-
-### Full syntax
-
-This example creates a variable called `variable1`, with a default value of `default`.
-The label for the text box on the UI is the value of the `label` key:
-
-```yaml
-templating:
- variables:
- variable1: # The variable name that can be used in queries.
- label: 'Variable 1' # (Optional) label that will appear in the UI for this text box.
- type: text
- options:
- default_value: 'default' # (Optional) default value.
-```
-
-## `custom` variable type
-
-WARNING:
-This variable type is an [Alpha](../../../policy/alpha-beta-support.md#alpha-features) feature, and is subject to change at any time
-without prior notice!
-
-Each `custom` variable defined in the dashboard YAML creates a dropdown list
-selector on the dashboard UI, allowing you to select a value for each variable.
-
-The `custom` variable type supports a simple and a full syntax.
-
-### Simple syntax
-
-This example creates a variable called `variable1`, with a default value of `value1`.
-The dashboard UI displays a dropdown list with `value1`, `value2` and `value3`
-as the choices.
-
-```yaml
-templating:
- variables:
- variable1: ['value1', 'value2', 'value3']
-```
-
-### Full syntax
-
-This example creates a variable called `variable1`, with a default value of `value_option_2`.
-The label for the text box on the UI is the value of the `label` key.
-The dashboard UI displays a dropdown list with `Option 1` and `Option 2`
-as the choices.
-
-If you select `Option 1` from the dropdown list, the variable is replaced with `value option 1`.
-Similarly, if you select `Option 2`, the variable is replaced with `value_option_2`:
-
-```yaml
-templating:
- variables:
- variable1: # The variable name that can be used in queries.
- label: 'Variable 1' # (Optional) label that will appear in the UI for this dropdown.
- type: custom
- options:
- values:
- - value: 'value option 1' # The value that will replace the variable in queries.
- text: 'Option 1' # (Optional) Text that will appear in the UI dropdown.
- - value: 'value_option_2'
- text: 'Option 2'
- default: true # (Optional) This option should be the default value of this variable.
-```
-
-## `metric_label_values` variable type
-
-WARNING:
-This variable type is an [Alpha](../../../policy/alpha-beta-support.md#alpha-features) feature, and is subject to change at any time
-without prior notice!
-
-### Full syntax
-
-This example creates a variable called `variable2`. The values of the dropdown list are
-all the different values of the `backend` label in the Prometheus series described by
-`up{env="production"}`.
-
-```yaml
-templating:
- variables:
- variable2: # The variable name that can be interpolated in queries.
- label: 'Variable 2' # (Optional) label that will appear in the UI for this dropdown.
- type: metric_label_values
- options:
- series_selector: 'up{env="production"}'
- label: 'backend'

-# Using variables (DEPRECATED) **(FREE)**
+# Using variables (removed) **(FREE)**
-> [Deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/346541) in GitLab 14.7.
-
-WARNING:
-This feature is in its end-of-life process. It is [deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/346541)
-in GitLab 14.7, and is planned for removal in GitLab 16.0.
-
-## Query variables
-
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/20793) in GitLab 12.7.
-
-Variables can be specified using double curly braces, such as `"{{ci_environment_slug}}"`.
-
-Support for the `"%{ci_environment_slug}"` format was
-[removed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/31581) in GitLab 13.0.
-Queries that continue to use the old format display no data.
-
-## Predefined variables
-
-GitLab supports a limited set of [CI/CD variables](../../../ci/variables/index.md)
-in the Prometheus query. This is particularly useful for identifying a specific
-environment, for example with `ci_environment_slug`. Variables for Prometheus queries
-must be lowercase. The supported variables are:
-
-- `environment_filter`
-- `ci_environment_slug`
-- `kube_namespace`
-- `ci_project_name`
-- `ci_project_namespace`
-- `ci_project_path`
-- `ci_environment_name`
-- `__range`
-
-### `environment_filter`
-
-`environment_filter` is automatically expanded to `container_name!="POD",environment="ENVIRONMENT_NAME"`
-where `ENVIRONMENT_NAME` is the name of the current environment.
-
-For example, a Prometheus query like `container_memory_usage_bytes{ {{environment_filter}} }`
-becomes `container_memory_usage_bytes{ container_name!="POD",environment="production" }`.
-
-### `__range`
-
-The `__range` variable is useful in Prometheus
-[range vector selectors](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/basics/#range-vector-selectors).
-Its value is the total number of seconds in the dashboard's time range.
-For example, if the dashboard time range is set to 8 hours, the value of
-`__range` is `28800s`.
-
-## User-defined variables
-
-[Variables can be defined](../../../operations/metrics/dashboards/yaml.md#templating-templating-properties) in a custom dashboard YAML file.
-
-Variable names are case-sensitive.
-
-## Query variables from URL
-
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/214500) in GitLab 13.0.
-
-GitLab supports setting custom variables through URL parameters. Surround the variable
-name with double curly braces (`{{example}}`) to interpolate the variable in a query:
-
-```plaintext
-avg(sum(container_memory_usage_bytes{container_name!="{{pod}}"}) by (job)) without (job) /1024/1024/1024'
-```
-
-The URL for this query would be:
-
-```plaintext
-https://gitlab.com/<user>/<project>/-/environments/<environment_id>/metrics?dashboard=.gitlab%2Fdashboards%2Fcustom.yml&pod=POD
-```

-# Dashboard YAML properties (DEPRECATED) **(FREE)**
+# Dashboard YAML properties (removed) **(FREE)**
-> [Deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/346541) in GitLab 14.7.
-
-WARNING:
-This feature is in its end-of-life process. It is [deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/346541)
-in GitLab 14.7, and is planned for removal in GitLab 16.0.
-
-Dashboards have several components:
-
-- Templating variables.
-- Panel groups, which consist of panels.
-- Panels, which support one or more metrics.
-
-The following tables outline the details of expected properties.
-
-## Dashboard (top-level) properties
-
-| Property | Type | Required | Description |
-| ------ | ------ | ------ | ------ |
-| `dashboard` | string | yes | Heading for the dashboard. Only one dashboard should be defined per file. |
-| `panel_groups` | array | yes | The panel groups which should be on the dashboard. |
-| `templating` | hash | no | Top level key under which templating related options can be added. |
-| `links` | array | no | Add links to display on the dashboard. |
-
-## Templating (`templating`) properties
-
-| Property | Type | Required | Description |
-| -------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
-| `variables` | hash | yes | Variables can be defined here. |
-
-Read the documentation on [templating](templating_variables.md).
-
-## Links (`links`) properties
-
-| Property | Type | Required | Description |
-| -------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
-| `url` | string | yes | The address of the link. |
-| `title` | string | no | Display title for the link. |
-| `type` | string | no | Type of the link. Specifies the link type, can be: `grafana` |
-
-Read the documentation on [links](index.md#add-related-links-to-custom-dashboards).
-
-## Panel group (`panel_groups`) properties
-
-Dashboards display panel groups in the order they are listed in the dashboard YAML file.
-
-In GitLab versions 13.3 and below, panel groups were ordered by a `priority` key, which
-is no longer used.
-
-| Property | Type | Required | Description |
-| ------ | ------ | ------ | ------ |
-| `group` | string | required | Heading for the panel group. |
-| `panels` | array | required | The panels which should be in the panel group. |
-
-Panels in a panel group are laid out in rows consisting of two panels per row. An exception to this rule are single panels on a row: these panels take the full width of their containing row.
-
-## Panel (`panels`) properties
-
-Dashboards display panels in the order they are listed in the dashboard YAML file.
-
-In GitLab versions 13.3 and below, panels were ordered by a `weight` key, which
-is no longer used.
-
-| Property | Type | Required | Description |
-| ------ | ------ | ------ | ------- |
-| `type` | string | no, defaults to `area-chart` | Specifies the panel type to use, for example `area-chart`, `line-chart` or `anomaly-chart`. Only types listed among [all panel types](panel_types.md) are allowed. |
-| `title` | string | yes | Heading for the panel. |
-| `y_label` | string | no, but highly encouraged | Y-Axis label for the panel. |
-| `y_axis` | string | no | Y-Axis configuration for the panel. |
-| `max_value` | number | no | Denominator value used for calculating [percentile based results](panel_types.md#percentile-based-results) |
-| `metrics` | array | yes | The metrics which should be displayed in the panel. Any number of metrics can be displayed when `type` is `area-chart` or `line-chart`, whereas only 3 can be displayed when `type` is `anomaly-chart`. |
-| `links` | array | no | Add links to display on the chart's [context menu](index.md#chart-context-menu). |
-
-## Axis (`panels[].y_axis`) properties
-
-| Property | Type | Required | Description |
-| ----------- | ------ | ----------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `name` | string | no, but highly encouraged | Y-Axis label for the panel. Replaces `y_label` if set. |
-| `format` | string | no, defaults to `engineering` | Unit format used. See the [full list of units](yaml_number_format.md). |
-| `precision` | number | no, defaults to `2` | Number of decimal places to display in the number. | |
-
-## Metrics (`metrics`) properties
-
-| Property | Type | Required | Description |
-| ------ | ------ | ------ | ------ |
-| `id` | string | no | Used for associating dashboard metrics with database records. Must be unique across dashboard configuration files. Required for [alerting](../alerts.md) (support not yet enabled, see [relevant issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/27980)). |
-| `unit` | string | yes | Defines the unit of the query's return data. |
-| `label` | string | no, but highly encouraged | Defines the legend-label for the query. Should be unique within the panel's metrics. Can contain time series labels as interpolated variables. |
-| `query` | string/number | yes if `query_range` is not defined | Defines the Prometheus query to be used to populate the chart/panel. If defined, the `query` endpoint of the [Prometheus API](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/api/) is used. |
-| `query_range` | string/number | yes if `query` is not defined | Defines the Prometheus query to be used to populate the chart/panel. If defined, the `query_range` endpoint of the [Prometheus API](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/api/) is used. |
-| `step` | number | no, value is calculated if not defined | Defines query resolution step width in float number of seconds. Metrics on the same panel should use the same `step` value. |
-
-## Dynamic labels
-
-Dynamic labels are useful when multiple time series are returned from a Prometheus query.
-
-When a static label is used and a query returns multiple time series, then all the legend items are labeled the same, which makes identifying each time series difficult:
-
-```yaml
-metrics:
- - id: my_metric_id
- query_range: 'http_requests_total'
- label: 'Time Series'
- unit: 'count'
-```
-
-This may render a legend like this:
-
-![repeated legend label chart](img/prometheus_dashboard_repeated_label.png)
-
-For labels to be more explicit, using variables that reflect time series labels is a good practice. The variables are replaced by the values of the time series labels when the legend is rendered:
-
-```yaml
-metrics:
- - id: my_metric_id
- query_range: 'http_requests_total'
- label: 'Instance: {{instance}}, method: {{method}}'
- unit: 'count'
-```
-
-The resulting rendered legend looks like this:
-
-![legend with label variables](img/prometheus_dashboard_label_variables.png)
-
-There is also a shorthand value for dynamic dashboard labels that make use of only one time series label:
-
-```yaml
-metrics:
- - id: my_metric_id
- query_range: 'http_requests_total'
- label: 'Method'
- unit: 'count'
-```
-
-This works by converting the value of `label` to lower-case and, if there are more words separated by spaces, replacing those spaces with an underscore (`_`). The transformed value is then checked against the labels of the time series returned by the Prometheus query. If a time series label is found that is equal to the transformed value, then the label value renders in the legend like this:
-
-![legend with label shorthand variable](img/prometheus_dashboard_label_variable_shorthand.png)
-
-## Dashboard YAML syntax validation
-
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/33202) in GitLab 13.1.
-
-To confirm your dashboard definition contains valid YAML syntax:
-
-1. Go to **Repository > Files**.
-1. Go to your dashboard file in your repository.
-1. Review the information pane about the file, displayed above the file contents.
-
-Files with valid syntax display **Metrics Dashboard YAML definition is valid**,
-and files with invalid syntax display **Metrics Dashboard YAML definition is invalid**.
-
-![Metrics dashboard YAML syntax validation](img/prometheus_dashboard_yaml_validation_v13_1.png)
-
-When **Metrics Dashboard YAML definition is invalid** at least one of the following messages is displayed:
-
-1. `dashboard: can't be blank` [learn more](#dashboard-top-level-properties)
-1. `panel_groups: should be an array of panel_groups objects` [learn more](#dashboard-top-level-properties)
-1. `group: can't be blank` [learn more](#panel-group-panel_groups-properties)
-1. `panels: should be an array of panels objects` [learn more](#panel-group-panel_groups-properties)
-1. `title: can't be blank` [learn more](#panel-panels-properties)
-1. `metrics: should be an array of metrics objects` [learn more](#panel-panels-properties)
-1. `query: can't be blank` [learn more](#metrics-metrics-properties)
-1. `query_range: can't be blank` [learn more](#metrics-metrics-properties)
-1. `unit: can't be blank` [learn more](#metrics-metrics-properties)
-1. `YAML syntax: The parsed YAML is too big`
-
- This is displayed when the YAML file is larger than 1 MB.
-
-1. `YAML syntax: Invalid configuration format`
-
- This is displayed when the YAML file is empty or does not contain valid YAML.
-
-Metrics Dashboard YAML definition validation information is also available as a [GraphQL API field](../../../api/graphql/reference/index.md#metricsdashboard)

-# Unit formats reference **(FREE)**
+# Unit formats reference (removed) **(FREE)**
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/201999) in GitLab 12.9.
-
-Format the data in your dashboard panels.
-
-You can select units to format your charts by adding `format` to your
-[axis configuration](yaml.md).
-
-## Internationalization and localization
-
-Currently, your [internationalization and localization options](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalization_and_localization) for number formatting are dependent on the system you are using (that is, your OS or browser).
-
-## Engineering Notation
-
-For generic or default data, numbers are formatted according to the current locale in [engineering notation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_notation).
-
-While an [engineering notation exists for the web](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Intl/NumberFormat), GitLab uses a version based off the [scientific notation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_notation). GitLab formatting acts in accordance with SI prefixes. For example, using GitLab notation, `1500.00` becomes `1.5k` instead of `1.5E3`. Keep this distinction in mind when using the engineering notation for your metrics.
-
-Formats: `engineering`
-
-SI prefixes:
-

+# Embedding metric charts within GitLab Flavored Markdown (removed) **(FREE)**
-> [Deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/346541) in GitLab 14.7.
-
-WARNING:
-This feature is in its end-of-life process. It is [deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/346541)
-for use in GitLab 14.7, and is planned for removal in GitLab 16.0.
-
-You can display metrics charts within
-[GitLab Flavored Markdown (GLFM)](../../user/markdown.md)
-fields such as issue or merge request descriptions. The maximum number of embedded
-charts allowed in a GitLab Flavored Markdown field is 100.
-Embedding charts is useful when sharing an application incident or performance
-metrics to others, and you want to have relevant information directly available.
-
-## Embedding GitLab-managed Kubernetes metrics
-
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/merge_requests/29691) in GitLab 12.2.
-
-This feature requires [Kubernetes](../../user/project/integrations/prometheus_library/kubernetes.md) metrics.
-
-NOTE:
-In GitLab versions 13.3 and earlier, metrics dashboard links were in the form
-`https://<root_url>/<project>/-/environments/<environment_id>/metrics`. These links
-are still supported, and can be used to embed metric charts.
-
-To display metric charts, include a link of the form
-`https://<root_url>/<project>/-/metrics?environment=<environment_id>` in a field
-that supports GitLab Flavored Markdown:
-
-```markdown
-### Summary
-
-**Start time:** 2020-01-21T12:00:31+00:00
-
-### Metrics
-
-https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/monitor/tanuki-inc/-/metrics?environment=1118134
-```
-
-GitLab unfurls the link as an embedded metrics panel:
-
-![Embedded Metrics Rendered](img/embedded_metrics_rendered_v13_4.png)
-
-You can also embed a single chart. To get a link to a chart, select
-**{ellipsis_v}** **More actions** in the upper right corner of the chart,
-and select **Copy link to chart**, as shown in this example:
-
-![Copy Link To Chart](img/copy_link_to_chart_v12_10.png)
-
-The following requirements must be met for the metric to unfurl:
-
-- The `<environment_id>` must correspond to a real environment.
-- Prometheus must be monitoring the environment.
-- The GitLab instance must be configured to receive data from the environment.
-- The user must have at least the Reporter role for the monitoring dashboard for the environment.
-- The dashboard must have data within the last 8 hours.
-
- If all of the above are true, then the metric unfurls as seen below:
-
-![Embedded Metrics](img/view_embedded_metrics_v12_10.png)
-
-Metric charts may also be hidden:
-
-![Show Hide](img/hide_embedded_metrics_v12_10.png)
-
-You can open the link directly into your browser for a
-[detailed view of the data](dashboards/index.md#chart-context-menu).
-
-## Embedding metrics in issue templates
-
-You can also embed either the overview dashboard metrics or individual metrics in
-issue templates. For charts to render side-by-side, separate links to the entire metrics
-dashboard or individual metrics by either a comma or a space.
-
-![Embedded Metrics in issue templates](img/embed_metrics_issue_template.png)
-
-## Embedding metrics based on alerts in incident issues
-
-For [GitLab-managed alerting rules](alerts.md), the issue includes an embedded
-chart for the query corresponding to the alert. The chart displays an hour of data
-surrounding the starting point of the incident, 30 minutes before and after.
-
-For [manually configured Prometheus instances](../../user/project/integrations/prometheus.md#manual-configuration-of-prometheus),
-a chart corresponding to the query can be included if these requirements are met:
-
-- The alert corresponds to an environment managed through GitLab.
-- The alert corresponds to a [range query](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/api/#range-queries).
-- The alert contains the required attributes listed in the chart below.
-
-| Attributes | Required | Description |
-| ---------- | -------- | ----------- |
-| `annotations/gitlab_environment_name` | Yes | Name of the GitLab-managed environment corresponding to the alert |
-| One of `annotations/title`, `annotations/summary`, `labels/alertname` | Yes | Used as the chart title |
-| `annotations/gitlab_y_label` | No | Used as the chart's y-axis label |
-
-## Embedding cluster health charts
-
-> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/40997) in GitLab 12.9.
-> - [Moved](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/208224) from GitLab Ultimate to GitLab Free in 13.2.
-
-[Cluster Health Metrics](../../user/infrastructure/clusters/manage/clusters_health.md)
-can also be embedded in [GitLab Flavored Markdown](../../user/markdown.md).
-
-To embed a metric chart, include a link to that chart in the form
-`https://<root_url>/<project>/-/cluster/<cluster_id>?<query_params>` anywhere that
-GitLab Flavored Markdown is supported. To generate and copy a link to the chart,
-follow the instructions in the
-[Cluster Health Metric documentation](../../user/infrastructure/clusters/manage/clusters_health.md).
-
-The following requirements must be met for the metric to unfurl:
-
-- The `<cluster_id>` must correspond to a real cluster.
-- Prometheus must be monitoring the cluster.
-- The user must be allowed access to the project cluster metrics.
-- The dashboards must be reporting data on the
- [Cluster Health Page](../../user/infrastructure/clusters/manage/clusters_health.md)
-
- If the above requirements are met, then the metric unfurls as seen below.

-# Embed Grafana panels in Markdown (deprecated) **(FREE)**
+# Embed Grafana panels in Markdown (removed) **(FREE)**
-WARNING:
-This feature was [deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/110290) in GitLab 15.9
-and is planned for removal in 16.0. We intend to replace this feature with the ability to [embed charts](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/opstrace/-/epics/33) with the [GitLab Observability UI](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/opstrace/opstrace-ui).
-This change is a breaking change.
-
-Grafana panels can be embedded in [GitLab Flavored Markdown](../../user/markdown.md). You can
-embed Grafana panels using either:
-
-- [Grafana-rendered images](#use-grafana-rendered-images).
-- [Grafana API](#use-integration-with-grafana-api).
-
-## Use Grafana-rendered images
-
-You can embed live [Grafana](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/grafana.html) panels as
-[a direct link](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/v7.5/sharing/share-panel/#use-direct-link).
-Your Grafana instance must:
-
-- Be available to the target user, either as a public dashboard or on the same network.
-- Have [Grafana Image Renderer](https://grafana.com/grafana/plugins/grafana-image-renderer/) installed.
-
-To use Grafana-rendered images:
-
-1. Go to the dashboard containing the panel in Grafana.
-1. From the panel's menu, select **Share**.
-1. Select **Direct link rendered image**, which provides the link.
-1. Copy the link and add an image tag as [inline HTML](../../user/markdown.md#inline-html) in your
- Markdown in the format `<img src="your_link"/>`. You can tweak the query parameters to meet your needs, such as removing the `&from=`
- and `&to=` parameters to display a live panel.
-
-## Use integration with Grafana API
-
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/31376) in GitLab 12.5.
-
-Each project can support integration with one Grafana instance. This enables you to copy a link to a
-panel in Grafana, then paste it into a GitLab Markdown field. The panel renders in the GitLab panel
-format. To embed panels from a Grafana instance, the data source must be:
-
-- A Prometheus instance.
-- Proxyable, so the **HTTP > Access** setting for the Grafana data source should be set to
- **Server (default)**.
-
-### Set up Grafana integration
-
-To set up the Grafana API in Grafana:
-
-1. In Grafana, [generate an Admin-level API Token](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/next/developers/http_api/auth/#create-api-token).
-1. In your GitLab project, go to **Settings > Monitor** and expand the **Grafana authentication**
- section.
-1. To enable the integration, check the **Active** checkbox.
-1. For **Grafana URL**, enter the base URL of the Grafana instance.
-1. For **API Token**, enter the Administrator API token you just generated.
-1. Select **Save Changes**.
-
-NOTE:
-If the Grafana integration is enabled, users with the Reporter role on public
-projects and the Guest role on non-public projects can query metrics from the
-Prometheus instance. All requests proxied through GitLab are authenticated with
-the same Grafana Administrator API token.
-
-### Generate a link to a panel
-
-To generate a link to a panel:
-
-1. In Grafana, go to the dashboard you wish to embed a panel from.
-1. In the upper-left corner of the page, select a specific value for each variable required for the
- queries in the dashboard.
-1. In Grafana select a panel's title, then select **Share** to open the panel's sharing dialog to
- the **Link** tab.
-
- If you select the dashboard's share button instead, GitLab attempts to embed the first supported
- panel on the dashboard (if available).
-1. If your Prometheus queries use the Grafana custom template variables, ensure the
- **Template variables** option is set to on. Only the Grafana global template variables
- `$__interval`, `$__from`, and `$__to` are supported.
-1. Set the **Current time range** option to on, to specify the time range of the panel. Otherwise,
- the default range is the last 8 hours.
-1. Select **Copy** to copy the URL to the clipboard.
-1. In GitLab, paste the URL into a Markdown field and save. The panel takes a few moments to render.
-
-See the following example of a rendered panel.
-

+# Monitor your environment's metrics (removed) **(FREE)**
-> [Deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/346541) in GitLab 14.7.
-
-WARNING:
-This feature is in its end-of-life process. It is [deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/346541)
-for use in GitLab 14.7, and is planned for removal in GitLab 16.0.
-
-GitLab helps your team monitor the health and performance of your applications
-and infrastructure by turning statistics and log files into charts and graphs
-that are easy to understand, especially when time is short and decisions are
-critical. For GitLab to display your information in charts, you must:
-
-1. **Instrument your application** - Collect accurate and complete measurements.
- <I class="fa fa-youtube-play youtube" aria-hidden="true"></I>
- For an overview, see [How to instrument Prometheus metrics in GitLab](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuI2oJ3TTB4).
-1. **Expose metrics for capture** - Make logs, metrics, and traces available for capture.
-1. [**Configure Prometheus to gather metrics**](#configure-prometheus-to-gather-metrics) -
- Use applications like Elasticsearch, Prometheus, and Jaeger to gather
- the data you've exposed.
-1. **GitLab collects metrics** - GitLab uses Prometheus to scrape the data you've
- captured in your applications, and prepares the data for display. For more information, see
- [Collect and process metrics](#collect-and-process-metrics).
-1. **Display charts in the GitLab user interface** - GitLab converts your metrics
- into easy-to-read charts on a default dashboard. You can create as many custom charts
- and custom dashboards as needed so your team has full insight into your
- application's health.
-
-## Configure Prometheus to gather metrics
-
-You must connect a Prometheus instance to GitLab to collect metrics. How you configure
-your Prometheus integration depends on where your apps are running:
-
-- **For manually-configured Prometheus** -
- [Specify your Prometheus server](../../user/project/integrations/prometheus.md#manual-configuration-of-prometheus),
- and define at least one environment.
-- **For a cluster integrated Prometheus** - GitLab can query
- [an in-cluster Prometheus](../../user/clusters/integrations.md#prometheus-cluster-integration).
- You must also complete a code deployment to your cluster for the **Monitor > Metrics**
- page to contain data. You can do this using [Auto DevOps](../../topics/autodevops/cloud_deployments/auto_devops_with_gke.md).
-
-![Monitoring Dashboard](img/prometheus_monitoring_dashboard_v13_3.png)
-
-## Collect and process metrics
-
-After [configuring Prometheus for a cluster](../../user/project/integrations/prometheus.md),
-GitLab attempts to retrieve performance metrics for any [environment](../../ci/environments/index.md) with
-a successful deployment.
-
-GitLab scans the Prometheus server for metrics from known servers like Kubernetes
-and NGINX, and attempts to identify individual environments. For more information about
-the supported metrics and scan processes, see
-[Prometheus Metrics library](../../user/project/integrations/prometheus_library/index.md).
-
-To view the [default metrics dashboard](dashboards/default.md) for an environment that is
-[configured to gather metrics](#configure-prometheus-to-gather-metrics):
-
-1. *If the metrics dashboard is only visible to project members,* sign in to
- GitLab as a member of a project. Learn more about [metrics dashboard visibility](#metrics-dashboard-visibility).
-1. In your project, navigate to **Monitor > Metrics**.
-
-GitLab displays the [default metrics dashboard](dashboards/default.md) for the environment,
-like the following example:
-
-![Example of metrics dashboard](img/example-dashboard_v13_3.png)
-
-The top of the dashboard contains a navigation bar. From left to right, the
-navigation bar contains:
-
-- **Dashboard** - A dropdown list of all dashboards available for the project,
- with starred dashboards listed first.
-- **Environment** - A dropdown list of all [environments](../index.md) that searches
- through all environments as you type.
-- **Range** - The time period of data to display.
-- **Refresh dashboard** **{retry}** - Reload the dashboard with current data.
-- **Set refresh rate** - Set a time frame for refreshing the data displayed.
-- **More actions** **{ellipsis_v}** - More dashboard actions
- - **Add metric** - Adds a [custom metric](#adding-custom-metrics). Only available on GitLab-defined dashboards.
- ([Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/34779) in GitLab 12.5.)
- - **Edit dashboard YAML** - Edit the source YAML file of a custom dashboard. Only available on
- [custom dashboards](dashboards/index.md).
- ([Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/34779) in GitLab 12.5.)
- - **Duplicate current dashboard** - Save a [complete copy of a dashboard](dashboards/index.md#duplicate-a-gitlab-defined-dashboard). Only available on GitLab-defined dashboards.
- - **Star dashboard** **{star-o}** - Mark a dashboard as a favorite.
- Starred dashboards display a solid star **{star}** button, and display first
- in the **Dashboard** dropdown list.
- ([Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/214582) in GitLab 13.0.)
- - **Create new dashboard** - Create a [new custom dashboard for your project](dashboards/index.md#add-a-new-dashboard-to-your-project).
- ([Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/228856) in GitLab 13.3.)
-- **Metrics settings** - Configure the
- [settings for this dashboard](dashboards/index.md#manage-the-metrics-dashboard-settings).
-
-## Customize your metrics dashboard
-
-After creating your dashboard, you can customize it to meet your needs:
-
-- **Add custom metrics**: In addition to the GitLab default metrics, you can
- [create custom metrics](#adding-custom-metrics) and display them on your metrics dashboard.
-- **Configure alerts for metrics**: [Configure custom alerts](alerts.md) for your team when
- environment performance falls outside of the boundaries you set.
-- **Trigger actions from alerts**: [Open new issues for your team](alerts.md#trigger-actions-from-alerts) **(ULTIMATE)**
- when environment performance falls outside of the boundaries you set.
-
-## Metrics dashboard visibility
-
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/201924) in GitLab 13.0.
-
-You can set the visibility of the metrics dashboard to **Only Project Members**
-or **Everyone With Access**. When set to **Everyone with Access**, the metrics
-dashboard is visible to authenticated and non-authenticated users.
-
-## Adding custom metrics
-
-> [Moved](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/28527) from GitLab Premium to GitLab Free in 12.10.
-
-Custom metrics can be monitored by adding them on the monitoring dashboard page.
-After saving them, they display on the environment metrics dashboard provided that either:
-
-- A [connected Kubernetes cluster](../../user/clusters/agent/index.md)
- with the matching [environment scope](../../ci/environments/index.md#limit-the-environment-scope-of-a-cicd-variable) is used and
- [Prometheus installed on the cluster](../../user/project/integrations/prometheus.md#enabling-prometheus-integration).
-- Prometheus is [manually configured](../../user/project/integrations/prometheus.md#manual-configuration-of-prometheus).
-
-![Add New Metric](img/prometheus_add_metric.png)
-
-A few fields are required:
-
-- **Name**: Chart title
-- **Type**: Type of metric. Metrics of the same type are shown together.
-- **Query**: Valid [PromQL query](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/basics/).
-- **Y-axis label**: Y axis title to display on the dashboard.
-- **Unit label**: Query units, for example `req / sec`. Shown next to the value.
-
-Multiple metrics can be displayed on the same chart if the fields **Name**, **Type**,
-and **Y-axis label** match between metrics. For example, a metric with **Name**
-`Requests Rate`, **Type** `Business`, and **Y-axis label** `rec / sec` would display
-on the same chart as a second metric with the same values. A **Legend label** is
-suggested if this feature is used.
-
-## Editing additional metrics from the dashboard
-
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/208976) in GitLab 12.9.
-
-You can edit existing additional custom metrics for your dashboard by selecting the
-**{ellipsis_v}** **More actions** dropdown list and selecting **Edit metric**.
-
-![Edit metric](img/prometheus_dashboard_edit_metric_link_v_12_9.png)
-
-## Keyboard shortcuts for charts
-
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/202146) in GitLab 13.2.
-
-You can use keyboard shortcuts to interact more quickly with your currently-focused
-chart panel. To activate keyboard shortcuts, use keyboard tabs to highlight the
-**{ellipsis_v}** **More actions** dropdown list, or hover over the dropdown list
-with your mouse, then press the key corresponding to your desired action:
-
-- **Expand panel** - <kbd>e</kbd>
-- **View logs** - <kbd>l</kbd> (lowercase 'L')
-- **Download CSV** - <kbd>d</kbd>
-- **Copy link to chart** - <kbd>c</kbd>
-- **Alerts** - <kbd>a</kbd>

-# GitLab Observability Quickstart
-
-You can try GitLab Observability by [cloning or forking the project](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/opstrace/opstrace.git) and creating a local installation.
-
-## Prerequisites and dependencies
-
-To install GitLab Observability Platform (GOP), install and configure the following third-party dependencies. You can do this manually, or [automatically by using asdf](#install-dependencies-using-asdf):
-
-- [kind](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/quick-start/#installation) for creating a local Kubernetes cluster.
-- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/install)
- - [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-v2/) is now part of the `docker` distribution.
-- [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/#kubectl) for interacting with GitLab Observability.
-- [Telepresence](https://www.telepresence.io/) allows you to code and test microservices locally against a remote Kubernetes cluster.
-- [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/download/) for some Makefile utilities.
-- [Go 1.19](https://go.dev/doc/install).
-
-The current versions of these dependencies are pinned in the `.tool-versions` file in the project.
-
-You can run the following commands to check the availability and versions of these dependencies on your machine:
-
-```shell
-kind --version
-docker --version
-kubectl version
-telepresence version
-jq --version
-go version
-```
-
-### Run GOP on macOS
-
-If you're running GOP on macOS, ensure you have enough resources dedicated to Docker Desktop. The recommended minimum is:
-
-- CPUs: 4+
-- Memory: 8 GB+
-- Swap: 1 GB+
-
-It's possible to run GOP with fewer resources, but this specification works.
-
-### Install dependencies using asdf
-
-If you install dependencies using [`asdf`](https://asdf-vm.com/#/core-manage-asdf), GOP manages them for you automatically.
-
-1. If you have not already done so, clone the `opstrace` repository into your preferred location:
-
- ```shell
- git clone https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/opstrace/opstrace.git
- ```
-
-1. Change into the project directory:
-
- ```shell
- cd opstrace
- ```
-
-1. Optional. If you need to install `asdf`, run:
-
- ```shell
- make install-asdf
- ```
-
-1. Install dependencies using `asdf`:
-
- ```shell
- make bootstrap
- ```
-
-## Step 1: Create a local Kubernetes cluster with kind
-
-Make sure Docker Desktop is running. In the `opstrace` project you cloned, run the following command:
-
-```shell
-make kind
-```
-
-Wait a few minutes while kind creates your Kubernetes cluster. When it's finished, you should see the following message:
-
-```plaintext
-Traffic Manager installed successfully
-```
-
-Now deploy the scheduler by running the following command in the `opstrace` project:
-
-```shell
-make deploy
-```
-
-This takes around 1 minute.
-
-## Step 2: Create a GitLab application for authentication
-
-You must create a GitLab application to use for authentication.
-
-In the GitLab instance you'd like to connect with GOP, [create an OAuth application](../integration/oauth_provider.md).
-This application can be a user-owned, group-owned or instance-wide application.
-In production, you would create a trusted instance-wide application so that users are explicitly authorized without the consent screen.
-The following example shows how to configure the application.
-
-1. Select the API scope and enter `http://localhost/v1/auth/callback` as the redirect URI.
-
-1. Run the following command to create the secret that holds the authentication data:
-
- ```shell
- kubectl create secret generic \
- --from-literal=gitlab_oauth_client_id=<gitlab_application_client_id> \
- --from-literal=gitlab_oauth_client_secret=<gitlab_application_client_secret> \
- --from-literal=internal_endpoint_token=<error_tracking_internal_endpoint_token> \
- dev-secret
- ```
-
-1. Replace `<gitlab_application_client_id>` and `<gitlab_application_client_secret>` with the values from the GitLab application you just created.
-Replace `<error_tracking_internal_endpoint_token>` with any string if you do not plan to use error tracking.
-
-You can also view [this MR on how to get the token to test error tracking](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/91928).
-You must specify all the parameters when creating the secret.
-
-## Step 3: Create the cluster definition
-
-1. In your `opstrace` project, run the following command to create a `Cluster.yaml` manifest file:
-
- ```shell
- cat <<EOF > Cluster.yaml
- apiVersion: opstrace.com/v1alpha1
- kind: Cluster
- metadata:
- name: dev-cluster
- spec:
- target: kind
- goui:
- image: "registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/opstrace/opstrace-ui/ gitlab-observability-ui:c9fb6e70"
- dns:
- acmeEmail: ""
- dns01Challenge: {}
- externalDNSProvider: {}
- gitlab:
- groupAllowedAccess: '*'
- groupAllowedSystemAccess: "6543"
- instanceUrl: https://gitlab.com
- authSecret:
- name: dev-secret
- EOF
- ```
-
-1. Apply the file you just created with the following command:
-
- ```shell
- kubectl apply -f Cluster.yaml
- ```
-
-1. Run the following command to wait for the cluster to be ready:
-
- ```shell
- kubectl wait --for=condition=ready cluster/dev-cluster --timeout=600s
- ```
-
-After the previous command exits, the cluster is ready.
-
-## Step 4: Enable Observability on a GitLab namespace you own
-
-Go to a namespace you own in the connected GitLab instance and copy the Group ID below the group name.
-
-GOP can only be enabled for groups you own.
-To list all the groups that your user owns, go to the menu in upper left corner and select `Groups`->`View all Groups`. You then see the **Your groups** tab.
-
-In your browser, go to `http://localhost/-/{GroupID}`. For example, `http://localhost/-/14485840`.
-
-Follow the on-screen instructions to enable observability for the namespace.
-This can take a couple of minutes if it's the first time observability has been enabled for the root level namespace (GitLab.org in the previous example.)
-
-Once your namespace has been enabled and is ready, the page automatically redirects you to the GitLab Observability UI.
-
-## Step 5: Send traces to GOP
-
-[Follow this guide to send traces to your namespace and monitor them in the UI](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/opstrace/opstrace/-/blob/main/docs/guides/user/sending-traces-locally.md).
-
-## Step 6: Clean up your local GOP
-
-To tear down your locally running GOP instance, run the following command:
-
-```shell
-make destroy
-```
-
-## Known issues
-
-### Incorrect architecture for `kind/node` image
-
-If your machine has an Apple silicon (M1/M2) chip, you might encounter an architecture problem with the `kind/node` image when running the `make kind` command. For more details, see [issue 1802](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/opstrace/opstrace/-/issues/1802).
-
-To fix this problem, you first need to create a Dockerfile. Then build and deploy the image:
-
-1. Create a new Dockerfile (without a file extension) and paste the following commands:
-
- ```Dockerfile
- FROM --platform=arm64 kindest/node:v1.23.13
- RUN arch
- ```
-
-1. Save your Dockerfile, then build the image with the following command:
-
- ```shell
- docker build -t tempkind .
- ```
-
- Do not forget the period at the end.
-
-1. Create a cluster using your new image with the following command:
-
- ```shell
- kind create cluster --image tempkind
- ```
-
-### scheduler-controller-manager pod cannot start due to ImagePullBackOff
-
-If while executing `make deploy` in step 1, the `scheduler-controller-manager` pod cannot start due to `ImagePullBackOff`, you must set the `CI_COMMIT_TAG` to a non-dirty state. By setting the commit tag to the latest commit, you ensure the Docker image can be pulled from the container registry.
-
-Run the following command to set the commit tag:
-
-```shell
-make kind
-export CI_COMMIT_TAG=0.2.0-e1206acf
-make deploy
-```

The Rake task for importing bare repositories was [deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/108507)
-in GitLab 15.8 and will be removed in GitLab 16.0.
-
-Alternatives to using the `gitlab:import:repos` Rake task include:

-- Importing a [repositories from a non-GitLab source](../user/project/import/index.md).
-
-Rake tasks are available to import bare repositories into a GitLab instance.
-When migrating from an existing GitLab instance, and to preserve ownership by users and their namespaces,
-migrate projects using either:
-
-- [Direct transfer](../user/group/import/index.md#migrate-groups-by-direct-transfer-recommended).
-- [An export file](../user/project/settings/import_export.md).
-
-When you import a repository:
-
-- The owner of the project is the first administrator.
-- The groups are created as needed, including subgroups.
-- The owner of the group is the first administrator.
-- Existing projects are skipped.
-- Projects in hashed storage may be skipped. For more information, see
- [Importing bare repositories from hashed storage](#importing-bare-repositories-from-hashed-storage).
-- The existing Git repositories are moved from disk (removed from the original path).
-- You must manually [push Git LFS objects](#push-git-lfs-objects).
-
-To import bare repositories into a GitLab instance:
-
-1. Create a new folder to import your Git repositories from.
- You can also import projects into a (sub)group's namespace,
- instead of the administrator's namespace. To do so, create subfolders and
- give ownership and read/write/execute permissions of those subfolders to the
- `git` user and its group:
-
- ```shell
- sudo -u git mkdir -p /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repository-import-$(date "+%Y-%m-%d")/<optional_groupname>/<optional_subgroup>
- ```
-
-1. Copy your bare repositories inside this newly created folder. Note:
-
- - Any `.git` repositories found on any of the subfolders are imported as projects.
- - Groups are created as needed, these could be nested folders.
-
- For example, if we copy the repositories to `/var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repository-import-2020-08-22`,
- and repository `A` must be under the groups `G1` and `G2`, it must be created under those folders:
- `/var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repository-import-2020-08-22/G1/G2/A.git`.
-
- ```shell
- sudo cp -r /old/git/foo.git /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repository-import-$(date "+%Y-%m-%d")/<optional_groupname>/<optional_subgroup>
-
- # Do this once when you are done copying git repositories
- sudo chown -R git:git /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repository-import-$(date "+%Y-%m-%d")

-## Importing bare repositories from hashed storage
-
-Projects in legacy storage have a directory structure that mirrors their full
-project path in GitLab, including their namespace structure. This information is
-leveraged by the bare repository importer to import projects into their proper
-locations. Each project and its parent namespaces are meaningfully named.
-
-However, the directory structure of projects in hashed storage do not contain
-this information. This is beneficial for a variety of reasons, especially
-improved performance and data integrity. See
-[Repository Storage Types](../administration/repository_storage_types.md) for
-more details.
-
-The repositories that are importable depends on the version of GitLab.
-
-### GitLab 10.3 or earlier
-
-Importing bare repositories from hashed storage is unsupported.
-
-### GitLab 10.4 and later
-
-To support importing bare repositories from hashed storage, GitLab 10.4 and
-later stores the full project path with each repository, in a special section of
-the Git repository's configuration file. This section is formatted as follows:
-
-```ini
-[gitlab]
- fullpath = gitlab-org/gitlab
-```
-
-However, existing repositories were not migrated to include this path.
-
-Bare repositories are importable if the following events occurred to the
-repository in GitLab 10.4 and later:
-
-- Created
-- Migrated to hashed storage
-- Renamed
-- Transferred to another namespace
-- Ancestor renamed
-- Ancestor transferred to another namespace
-
-Bare repositories are **not** importable by GitLab 10.4 to GitLab 11.6, if all the following are true about the repository:
-
-- It was created in GitLab 10.3 or earlier.
-- It was not renamed, transferred, or migrated to [hashed storage](../administration/repository_storage_types.md#hashed-storage) in GitLab 10.4 to GitLab 11.6.
-- Its ancestor namespaces were not renamed or transferred in GitLab 10.4 to GitLab 11.6.
-
-[In GitLab 11.6](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/41776) and later, all
-bare repositories are importable.
-
-To manually migrate repositories yourself (for GitLab 10.4 to GitLab 11.6), you can use the
-[Rails console](../administration/operations/rails_console.md#starting-a-rails-console-session)
-to do so. In a Rails console session, run the following to migrate a project:
-
-```ruby
-project = Project.find_by_full_path('gitlab-org/gitlab')
-project.set_full_path
-```
-
-In a Rails console session, run the following to migrate all of a namespace's
-projects (this may take a while if there are thousands of projects in a namespace):
-
-```ruby
-namespace = Namespace.find_by_full_path('gitlab-org')
-namespace.send(:write_projects_repository_config)
-```
-
-## Push Git LFS objects
-
-The import task doesn't import Git LFS objects. You must manually push the LFS objects to the newly
-created GitLab repository using the following command:
-
-```shell
-git lfs push --all
-```

+# Choosing a GitLab subscription
+
+To choose the right GitLab subscription, choose an offering and a tier.
+
+## Choose a subscription
+
+Choose which GitLab subscription suits your needs:
+
+- [GitLab SaaS](gitlab_com/index.md): The GitLab software-as-a-service offering.
+ You don't need to install anything to use GitLab SaaS, you only need to
+ [sign up](https://gitlab.com/users/sign_up) and start using GitLab straight away.
+- [GitLab Dedicated](gitlab_dedicated/index.md): A single-tenant SaaS service for highly regulated and large enterprises.
+- [GitLab self-managed](self_managed/index.md): Install, administer, and maintain
+ your own GitLab instance.
+
+On a GitLab self-managed instance, a GitLab subscription provides the same set of
+features for _all_ users. On GitLab SaaS, you can apply a subscription to a group
+namespace. You cannot apply a subscription to a personal namespace.
+
+NOTE:
+Subscriptions cannot be transferred between GitLab SaaS and GitLab self-managed.
+A new subscription must be purchased and applied as needed.
+
+## Choose a GitLab tier
+
+Pricing is [tier-based](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/), allowing you to choose
+the features which fit your budget. For information on what features are available
+at each tier for each product, see the [GitLab self-managed feature comparison](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/feature-comparison/).
+
+## Find your subscription
+
+The following chart should help you determine your subscription model. Select
+the list item to go to the respective help page.

+```mermaid
+graph TD
+
+A(Is your user account on GitLab.com?)

+
+- See the tiers of [GitLab Support](https://about.gitlab.com/support/).
+- [Submit a request](https://support.gitlab.com/hc/en-us/requests/new) through the Support Portal.
+
+We also encourage all users to search our project trackers for known issues and existing feature requests in the [GitLab project](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/).
+
+These issues are the best avenue for getting updates on specific product plans and for communicating directly with the relevant GitLab team members.

+
+GitLab provides the following community program subscriptions.
+
+## GitLab for Education
+
+For qualifying non-profit educational institutions, the [GitLab for Education Program](https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/education/) provides GitLab Ultimate, plus 50,000 CI/CD minutes per month. The subscription granted under GitLab for Education can only be used for instructional use or non-commercial academic research. For more information—including instructions for applying to the program and renewing program membership—see the [GitLab for Education Program page](https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/education/) and the [GitLab handbook](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/marketing/community-relations/community-programs/education-program/).
+
+## GitLab for Open Source
+
+For qualifying open source projects, the [GitLab for Open Source Program](https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/open-source/) provides GitLab Ultimate, plus 50,000 CI/CD minutes per month. For more information—including instructions for applying to the program and renewing program membership—see the [GitLab for Open Source Program page](https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/open-source/) and the [GitLab handbook](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/marketing/community-relations/community-programs/opensource-program/).
+
+### Meeting GitLab for Open Source Program requirements
+
+To meet GitLab for Open Source Program requirements, first add an OSI-approved open source license to all projects in your namespace.
+
+To add a license to a project:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
+1. On the overview page, select **Add LICENSE**. If the license you want is not available as a license template, manually copy the entire, unaltered [text of your chosen license](https://opensource.org/licenses/) into the `LICENSE` file. GitLab defaults to **All rights reserved** if users do not perform this action.
+
+![Add license](img/add-license.png)
+
+Applicants must add the correct license to each project in their respective groups or namespaces. When you're sure you're using OSI-approved licenses for your projects, you can take your screenshots.
+
+NOTE:
+GitLab for Open Source Program benefits apply to an entire GitLab namespace. To qualify for the GitLab for Open Source Program, all projects in an applicant's namespace must meet program requirements. Applicants submit materials related to one project in the applying namespace, and the open source program team uses that project to verify eligibility of the entire namespace.
+
+### Verification for Open Source Program
+
+Next, take screenshots of your project to confirm that project's eligibility. You must upload three screenshots:
+
+- [OSI-approved license overview](#screenshot-1-license-overview)
+- [OSI-approved license contents](#screenshot-2-license-contents)
+- [Publicly visible settings](#screenshot-3-publicly-visible-settings)
+
+NOTE:
+Benefits of the GitLab Open Source Program apply to all projects in a GitLab namespace. All projects in an eligible namespace must meet program requirements.
+
+#### Screenshot 1: License overview
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
+1. On the left sidebar, select your project avatar. If you haven't specified an avatar for your project, the avatar displays as a single letter.
+1. Take a screenshot of the project overview that clearly displays the license you've chosen for your project.
+
+![License overview](img/license-overview.png)
+
+#### Screenshot 2: License contents
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Repository** and locate the project's `LICENSE` file.
+1. Take a screenshot of the contents of the file. Make sure the screenshot includes the title of the license.
+
+![License file](img/license-file.png)
+
+#### Screenshot 3: Publicly visible settings
+
+To be eligible for the GitLab Open Source Program, projects must be publicly visible. To check your project's public visibility settings:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
+1. From the left sidebar, select **Settings > General**.
+1. Expand **Visibility, project features, permissions**.
+1. From the **Project visibility** dropdown list, select **Public**.
+1. Select the **Users can request access** checkbox.
+1. Take a screenshot of this view. Include as much of the publicly visible settings as possible. Make sure to include your project's name in the upper-left of the screenshot.
+
+![Publicly visible setting](img/publicly-visible.png)
+
+NOTE:
+Exceptions to this public visibility requirement apply in select circumstances (for example, in cases where a project in an applicant's namespace may hold sensitive data). Email `opensource@gitlab.com` with details of your use case to request written permission for exceptions.
+
+## GitLab for Startups
+
+For qualifying startups, the [GitLab for Startups](https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/startups/) program provides GitLab Ultimate, plus 50,000 CI/CD minutes per month for 12 months. For more information—including instructions for applying to the program and renewing program membership—see the [GitLab for Startups Program page](https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/startups/) and the [GitLab handbook](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/marketing/community-relations/community-programs/startups-program/).

+
+You can also specifically manage your [GitLab SaaS subscription](gitlab_com/index.md)
+or [self-managed subscription](self_managed/index.md).
+
+## Change account owner information
+
+Account owner personal details are used on invoices. The account owner email address is used for the Customers Portal legacy login and license-related email.

+### Data residency
+
+GitLab Dedicated allows you to select the cloud region where your data will be stored. Upon [onboarding](../../administration/dedicated/index.md#onboarding), choose the cloud region where you want to deploy your Dedicated instance. Some AWS regions have limited features and as a result, we are not able to deploy production instances to those regions. See below for the [full list of regions](#aws-regions-not-supported) not supported.
+
+### Availability and scalability
+
+GitLab Dedicated leverages the GitLab [Cloud Native Hybrid reference architectures](../../administration/reference_architectures/index.md#cloud-native-hybrid) with high availability enabled. When [onboarding](../../administration/dedicated/index.md#onboarding), GitLab will match you to the closest reference architecture size based on your number of users. Learn about the [current Service Level Objective](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/infrastructure/team/gitlab-dedicated/slas/#current-service-level-objective).
+
+#### Disaster Recovery
+
+When [onboarding](../../administration/dedicated/index.md#onboarding) to GitLab Dedicated, you can provide a Secondary AWS region in which your data is stored. This region is used to recover your GitLab Dedicated instance in case of a disaster. Regular backups of all GitLab Dedicated datastores (including Database and Git repositories) are taken and tested regularly and stored in your desired secondary region. GitLab Dedicated also provides the ability to store copies of these backups in a separate cloud region of choice for greater redundancy.
+
+For more information, read about the [recovery plan for GitLab Dedicated](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/infrastructure/team/gitlab-dedicated/slas/#disaster-recovery-plan) as well as RPO and RTO targets.
+
+### Security
+
+#### Authentication and authorization
+
+GitLab Dedicated supports instance-level [SAML OmniAuth](../../integration/saml.md) functionality. Your GitLab Dedicated instance acts as the service provider, and you must provide the necessary [configuration](../../integration/saml.md#configure-saml-support-in-gitlab) in order for GitLab to communicate with your IdP. For more information, see how to [configure SAML](../../administration/dedicated/index.md#saml) for your instance.
+
+- SAML [request signing](../../integration/saml.md#sign-saml-authentication-requests-optional), [group sync](../../user/group/saml_sso/group_sync.md#configure-saml-group-sync), and [SAML groups](../../integration/saml.md#configure-users-based-on-saml-group-membership) are supported.
+
+#### Secure networking
+
+GitLab Dedicated offers public connectivity by default with support for IP allowlists. You can [optionally specify a list of IP addresses](../../administration/dedicated/index.md#ip-allowlist) that can access your GitLab Dedicated instance. Subsequently, when an IP not on the allowlist tries to access your instance the connection is refused.
+
+Private connectivity via [AWS PrivateLink](https://aws.amazon.com/privatelink/) is also offered as an option. Both [inbound](../../administration/dedicated/index.md#inbound-private-link) and [outbound](../../administration/dedicated/index.md#outbound-private-link) PrivateLinks are supported. When connecting to an internal service running in your VPC over HTTPS via PrivateLink, GitLab Dedicated supports the ability to use a private SSL certificate, which can be provided when [updating your instance configuration](../../administration/dedicated/index.md#custom-certificates).
+
+#### Encryption
+
+Data is encrypted at rest and in transit using the latest encryption standards.
+
+#### Bring your own key encryption
+
+During onboarding, you can specify an AWS KMS encryption key stored in your own AWS account that GitLab uses to encrypt the data for your Dedicated instance. This gives you full control over the data you store in GitLab.
+
+### Compliance
+
+#### Certifications
+
+GitLab Dedicated offers the following [compliance certifications](https://about.gitlab.com/security/):
+
+- SOC 2 Type 1 Report (Security and Confidentiality criteria)
+- ISO/IEC 27001:2013
+- ISO/IEC 27017:2015
+- ISO/IEC 27018:2019
+
+#### Isolation
+
+As a single-tenant SaaS service, GitLab Dedicated provides infrastructure-level isolation of your GitLab environment. Your environment is placed into a separate AWS account from other tenants. This AWS account contains all of the underlying infrastructure necessary to host the GitLab application and your data stays within the account boundary. You administer the application while GitLab manages the underlying infrastructure. Tenant environments are also completely isolated from GitLab.com.
+
+#### Access controls
+
+GitLab Dedicated adheres to the [principle of least privilege](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/security/access-management-policy.html#principle-of-least-privilege) to control access to customer tenant environments. Tenant AWS accounts live under a top-level GitLab Dedicated AWS parent organization. Access to the AWS Organization is restricted to select GitLab team members. All user accounts within the AWS Organization follow the overall GitLab Access Management Policy [outlined here](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/security/access-management-policy.html). Direct access to customer tenant environments is restricted to a single Hub account. The GitLab Dedicated Control Plane uses the Hub account to perform automated actions over tenant accounts when managing environments. Similarly, GitLab Dedicated engineers do not have direct access to customer tenant environments. In break glass situations, where access to resources in the tenant environment is required to address a high-severity issue, GitLab engineers must go through the Hub account to manage those resources. This is done via an approval process, and after permission is granted, the engineer will assume an IAM role on a temporary basis to access tenant resources through the Hub account. All actions within the hub account and tenant account are logged to CloudTrail.
+
+Inside tenant accounts, GitLab leverages Intrusion Detection and Malware Scanning capabilities from AWS GuardDuty. Infrastructure logs are monitored by the GitLab Security Incident Response Team to detect anomalous events.
+
+#### Audit and observability
+
+GitLab Dedicated provides access to [audit and system logs](../../administration/dedicated/index.md#access-to-application-logs) generated by the application.
+
+### Maintenance
+
+GitLab leverages [weekly maintenance windows](../../administration/dedicated/index.md#maintenance-window) to keep your instance up to date, fix security issues, and ensure the overall reliability and performance of your environment.
+
+#### Upgrades
+
+GitLab performs monthly upgrades to your instance with the latest security release during your preferred [maintenance window](../../administration/dedicated/index.md#maintenance-window) tracking one release behind the latest GitLab release. For example, if the latest version of GitLab available is 15.8, GitLab Dedicated runs on 15.7.
+
+#### Unscheduled maintenance
+
+GitLab may conduct unscheduled maintenance to address high-severity issues affecting the security, availability, or reliability of your instance.
+
+### Application
+
+GitLab Dedicated comes with the self-managed [Ultimate feature set](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/feature-comparison/) with the exception of the unsupported features [listed below](#features-that-are-not-available).
+
+#### GitLab Runners
+
+With GitLab Dedicated, you must [install the GitLab Runner application](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/install/index.html) on infrastructure that you own or manage. If hosting GitLab Runners on AWS, you can avoid having requests from the Runner fleet route through the public internet by setting up a secure connection from the Runner VPC to the GitLab Dedicated endpoint via AWS Private Link. Learn more about [networking options](#secure-networking).
+
+#### Migration
+
+To help you migrate your data to GitLab Dedicated, you can choose from the following options:
+
+1. When migrating from another GitLab instance, you can either:
+ - Use the UI, including [group import](../../user/group/import/index.md) and [project import](../../user/project/settings/import_export.md).
+ - Use APIs, including the [group import API](../../api/group_import_export.md) and [project import API](../../api/project_import_export.md).
+ - Note: Import functionality behind a feature flag (such as `bulk_import_project`) is not supported in GitLab Dedicated.
+1. When migrating from third-party services, you can use [the GitLab importers](../../user/project/import/index.md#available-project-importers).
+1. You can perform a fully-automated migration through the [Congregate Automation Tool](../../user/project/import/index.md#automate-group-and-project-import), which supports migrating from existing GitLab instances as well as third-party services.

-# GitLab subscription **(PREMIUM)**
-
-GitLab offers tiers of features. Your subscription determines which tier you
-have access to. Subscriptions are valid for 12 months.
-
-GitLab provides special subscriptions to participants in:
-
-- [Education](#gitlab-for-education)
-- [Open Source](#gitlab-for-open-source)
-
-## Choose a GitLab subscription
-
-When choosing a subscription, there are two factors to consider:
-
-- [GitLab SaaS or GitLab self-managed](#choose-between-gitlab-saas-or-gitlab-self-managed)
-- [GitLab tier](#choose-a-gitlab-tier)
-
-### Choose between GitLab SaaS or GitLab self-managed
-
-There are some differences in how a subscription applies, depending if you use
-GitLab SaaS or GitLab self-managed:
-
-- [GitLab SaaS](gitlab_com/index.md): The GitLab software-as-a-service offering.
- You don't need to install anything to use GitLab SaaS, you only need to
- [sign up](https://gitlab.com/users/sign_up) and start using GitLab straight away.
-- [GitLab Dedicated](gitlab_dedicated/index.md): a single-tenant SaaS service for highly regulated and large enterprises.
-- [GitLab self-managed](self_managed/index.md): Install, administer, and maintain
- your own GitLab instance.
-
-On a GitLab self-managed instance, a GitLab subscription provides the same set of
-features for _all_ users. On GitLab SaaS, you can apply a subscription to a group
-namespace. You cannot apply a subscription to a personal namespace.
-
-NOTE:
-Subscriptions cannot be transferred between GitLab SaaS and GitLab self-managed.
-A new subscription must be purchased and applied as needed.
-
-### Choose a GitLab tier
-
-Pricing is [tier-based](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/), allowing you to choose
-the features which fit your budget. For information on what features are available

-#### Meeting GitLab for Open Source Program requirements
-
-To meet GitLab for Open Source Program requirements, first add an OSI-approved open source license to all projects in your namespace.
-
-To add a license to a project:
-
-1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
-1. On the overview page, select **Add LICENSE**. If the license you want is not available as a license template, manually copy the entire, unaltered [text of your chosen license](https://opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical) into the `LICENSE` file. Note that GitLab defaults to **All rights reserved** if users do not perform this action.
-
-![Add license](img/add-license.png)
-
-Applicants must add the correct license to each project in their respective groups or namespaces. When you're sure you're using OSI-approved licenses for your projects, you can take your screenshots.
-
-NOTE:
-GitLab for Open Source Program benefits apply to an entire GitLab namespace. To qualify for the GitLab for Open Source Program, all projects in an applicant's namespace must meet program requirements. Applicants submit materials related to one project in the applying namespace, and the open source program team uses that project to verify eligibility of the entire namespace.
-
-#### Verification for Open Source Program
-
-Next, take screenshots of your project to confirm that project's eligibility. You must upload three screenshots:
-
-- [OSI-approved license overview](#screenshot-1-license-overview)
-- [OSI-approved license contents](#screenshot-2-license-contents)
-- [Publicly visible settings](#screenshot-3-publicly-visible-settings)
-
-NOTE:
-Benefits of the GitLab Open Source Program apply to all projects in a GitLab namespace. All projects in an eligible namespace must meet program requirements.

-## Contact Support
-
-- See the tiers of [GitLab Support](https://about.gitlab.com/support/).
-- [Submit a request](https://support.gitlab.com/hc/en-us/requests/new) through the Support Portal.
-
-We also encourage all users to search our project trackers for known issues and existing feature requests in the [GitLab project](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/).
-
-These issues are the best avenue for getting updates on specific product plans and for communicating directly with the relevant GitLab team members.
-
-<!-- ## Troubleshooting
-
-Include any troubleshooting steps that you can foresee. If you know beforehand what issues
-one might have when setting this up, or when something is changed, or on upgrading, it's
-important to describe those, too. Think of things that may go wrong and include them here.
-This is important to minimize requests for support, and to avoid doc comments with
-questions that you know someone might ask.
-
-Each scenario can be a third-level heading, for example `### Getting error message X`.
-If you have none to add when creating a doc, leave this section in place
-but commented out to help encourage others to add to it in the future. -->

+# Use Auto DevOps to deploy an application to Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS)
+
+In this tutorial, we'll help you to get started with [Auto DevOps](../index.md)
+through an example of how to deploy an application to Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS).
+
+The tutorial uses the GitLab native Kubernetes integration, so you don't need
+to create a Kubernetes cluster manually using the AWS console.
+
+You can also follow this tutorial on a self-managed instance.
+Ensure your own [runners are configured](../../../ci/runners/index.md).
+
+To deploy a project to EKS:
+
+1. [Configure your Amazon account](#configure-your-amazon-account)
+1. [Create a Kubernetes cluster and deploy the agent](#create-a-kubernetes-cluster)
+1. [Create a new project from a template](#create-an-application-project-from-a-template)
+1. [Configure the agent](#configure-the-agent)
+1. [Install Ingress](#install-ingress)
+1. [Configure Auto DevOps](#configure-auto-devops)
+1. [Enable Auto DevOps and run the pipeline](#enable-auto-devops-and-run-the-pipeline)
+1. [Deploy the application](#deploy-the-application)
+
+## Configure your Amazon account
+
+Before you create and connect your Kubernetes cluster to your GitLab project,
+you need an [Amazon Web Services account](https://aws.amazon.com/).
+Sign in with an existing Amazon account or create a new one.
+
+## Create a Kubernetes cluster
+
+To create an new cluster on Amazon EKS:
+
+- Follow the steps in [Create an Amazon EKS cluster](../../../user/infrastructure/clusters/connect/new_eks_cluster.md).
+
+If you prefer, you can also create a cluster manually using `eksctl`.
+
+## Create an application project from a template
+
+Use a GitLab project template to get started. As the name suggests,
+those projects provide a bare-bones application built on some well-known frameworks.
+
+WARNING:
+Create the application project in the group hierarchy at the same level or below the project for cluster management. Otherwise, it fails to [authorize the agent](../../../user/clusters/agent/ci_cd_workflow.md#authorize-the-agent).
+
+1. On the top bar in GitLab, select the plus icon (**{plus-square}**), and select
+ **New project/repository**.
+1. Select **Create from template**.
+1. Select the **Ruby on Rails** template.
+1. Give your project a name, optionally a description, and make it public so that
+ you can take advantage of the features available in the
+ [GitLab Ultimate plan](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/).
+1. Select **Create project**.
+
+Now you have an application project you are going to deploy to the EKS cluster.
+
+## Configure the agent
+
+Next, we'll configure the GitLab agent for Kubernetes so we can use it to deploy the application project.
+
+1. Go to the project [we created to manage the cluster](#create-a-kubernetes-cluster).
+1. Navigate to the [agent configuration file](../../../user/clusters/agent/install/index.md#create-an-agent-configuration-file) (`.gitlab/agents/eks-agent/config.yaml`) and edit it.
+1. Configure `ci_access:projects` attribute. Use the application project path as `id`:
+
+```yaml
+ci_access:
+ projects:
+ - id: path/to/application-project
+```
+
+## Install Ingress
+
+After your cluster is running, you must install NGINX Ingress Controller as a
+load balancer to route traffic from the internet to your application.
+Install the NGINX Ingress Controller
+through the GitLab [Cluster management project template](../../../user/clusters/management_project_template.md),
+or manually via the command line:
+
+1. Ensure you have `kubectl` and Helm installed on your machine.
+1. Create an IAM role to access the cluster.
+1. Create an access token to access the cluster.
+1. Use `kubectl` to connect to your cluster:
+
+ ```shell
+ helm upgrade --install ingress-nginx ingress-nginx \
+ --repo https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx \
+ --namespace gitlab-managed-apps --create-namespace
+
+ # Check that the ingress controller is installed successfully
+ kubectl get service ingress-nginx-controller -n gitlab-managed-apps
+ ```
+
+## Configure Auto DevOps
+
+Follow these steps to configure the base domain and other settings required for Auto DevOps.
+
+1. A few minutes after you install NGINX, the load balancer obtains an IP address, and you can
+ get the external IP address with the following command:
+
+ ```shell
+ kubectl get all -n gitlab-managed-apps --selector app.kubernetes.io/instance=ingress-nginx
+ ```
+
+ Replace `gitlab-managed-apps` if you have overwritten your namespace.
+
+ Next, find the actual external IP address for your cluster with the following command:
+
+ ```shell
+ nslookup [External IP]
+ ```
+
+ Where the `[External IP]` is the hostname found with the previous command.
+
+ The IP address might be listed in the `Non-authoritative answer:` section of the response.
+
+ Copy this IP address, as you need it in the next step.
+
+1. Go back to the application project.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > CI/CD** and expand **Variables**.
+ - Add a key called `KUBE_INGRESS_BASE_DOMAIN` with the application deployment domain as the value. For this example, use the domain `<IP address>.nip.io`.
+ - Add a key called `KUBE_NAMESPACE` with a value of the Kubernetes namespace for your deployments to target. You can use different namespaces per environment. Configure the environment, use the environment scope.
+ - Add a key called `KUBE_CONTEXT` with a value like `path/to/agent/project:eks-agent`. Select the environment scope of your choice.
+ - Select **Save changes**.
+
+## Enable Auto DevOps and run the pipeline
+
+While Auto DevOps is enabled by default, Auto DevOps can be disabled at both
+the instance level (for self-managed instances) and the group level. Complete
+these steps to enable Auto DevOps if it's disabled:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find the application project.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > CI/CD**.
+1. Expand **Auto DevOps**.
+1. Select **Default to Auto DevOps pipeline** to display more options.
+1. In **Deployment strategy**, select your desired [continuous deployment strategy](../requirements.md#auto-devops-deployment-strategy)
+ to deploy the application to production after the pipeline successfully runs on the default branch.
+1. Select **Save changes**.
+1. Edit `.gitlab-ci.yml` file to include the Auto DevOps template and commit the change to the default branch:
+
+ ```yaml
+ include:
+ - template: Auto-DevOps.gitlab-ci.yml
+ ```
+
+The commit should trigger a pipeline. In the next section, we explain what each job does in the pipeline.
+
+## Deploy the application
+
+When your pipeline runs, what is it doing?
+
+To view the jobs in the pipeline, select the pipeline's status badge. The
+**{status_running}** icon displays when pipeline jobs are running, and updates
+without refreshing the page to **{status_success}** (for success) or
+**{status_failed}** (for failure) when the jobs complete.
+
+The jobs are separated into stages:
+
+![Pipeline stages](img/guide_pipeline_stages_v13_0.png)
+
+- **Build** - The application builds a Docker image and uploads it to your project's
+ [Container Registry](../../../user/packages/container_registry/index.md) ([Auto Build](../stages.md#auto-build)).
+- **Test** - GitLab runs various checks on the application, but all jobs except `test`
+ are allowed to fail in the test stage:
+
+ - The `test` job runs unit and integration tests by detecting the language and
+ framework ([Auto Test](../stages.md#auto-test-deprecated))
+ - The `code_quality` job checks the code quality and is allowed to fail
+ ([Auto Code Quality](../stages.md#auto-code-quality))
+ - The `container_scanning` job checks the Docker container if it has any
+ vulnerabilities and is allowed to fail ([Auto Container Scanning](../stages.md#auto-container-scanning))
+ - The `dependency_scanning` job checks if the application has any dependencies
+ susceptible to vulnerabilities and is allowed to fail
+ ([Auto Dependency Scanning](../stages.md#auto-dependency-scanning))
+ - Jobs suffixed with `-sast` run static analysis on the current code to check for potential
+ security issues, and are allowed to fail ([Auto SAST](../stages.md#auto-sast))
+ - The `secret-detection` job checks for leaked secrets and is allowed to fail ([Auto Secret Detection](../stages.md#auto-secret-detection))
+ - The `license_scanning` job searches the application's dependencies to determine each of their
+ licenses and is allowed to fail
+ ([Auto License Compliance](../stages.md#auto-license-compliance))
+
+- **Review** - Pipelines on the default branch include this stage with a `dast_environment_deploy` job.
+ To learn more, see [Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)](../../../user/application_security/dast/index.md).
+
+- **Production** - After the tests and checks finish, the application deploys in
+ Kubernetes ([Auto Deploy](../stages.md#auto-deploy)).
+
+- **Performance** - Performance tests are run on the deployed application
+ ([Auto Browser Performance Testing](../stages.md#auto-browser-performance-testing)).
+
+- **Cleanup** - Pipelines on the default branch include this stage with a `stop_dast_environment` job.
+
+After running a pipeline, you should view your deployed website and learn how
+to monitor it.
+
+### Monitor your project
+
+After successfully deploying your application, you can view its website and check
+on its health on the **Environments** page by navigating to
+**Deployments > Environments**. This page displays details about
+the deployed applications, and the right-hand column displays icons that link
+you to common environment tasks:
+
+![Environments](img/guide_environments_v12_3.png)
+
+- **Open live environment** (**{external-link}**) - Opens the URL of the application deployed in production
+- **Monitoring** (**{chart}**) - Opens the metrics page where Prometheus collects data
+ about the Kubernetes cluster and how the application
+ affects it in terms of memory usage, CPU usage, and latency
+- **Deploy to** (**{play}** **{chevron-lg-down}**) - Displays a list of environments you can deploy to
+- **Terminal** (**{terminal}**) - Opens a [web terminal](../../../ci/environments/index.md#web-terminals-deprecated)
+ session inside the container where the application is running
+- **Re-deploy to environment** (**{repeat}**) - For more information, see
+ [Retrying and rolling back](../../../ci/environments/index.md#retry-or-roll-back-a-deployment)
+- **Stop environment** (**{stop}**) - For more information, see
+ [Stopping an environment](../../../ci/environments/index.md#stopping-an-environment)
+
+GitLab displays the [deploy board](../../../user/project/deploy_boards.md) below the
+environment's information, with squares representing pods in your
+Kubernetes cluster, color-coded to show their status. Hovering over a square on
+the deploy board displays the state of the deployment, and selecting the square
+takes you to the pod's logs page.
+
+Although the example shows only one pod hosting the application at the moment, you can add
+more pods by defining the [`REPLICAS` CI/CD variable](../cicd_variables.md)
+in **Settings > CI/CD > Variables**.
+
+### Work with branches
+
+Following the [GitLab flow](../../gitlab_flow.md#working-with-feature-branches),
+you should next create a feature branch to add content to your application:
+
+1. In your project's repository, go to the following file: `app/views/welcome/index.html.erb`.
+ This file should only contain a paragraph: `<p>You're on Rails!</p>`.
+1. Open the GitLab [Web IDE](../../../user/project/web_ide/index.md) to make the change.
+1. Edit the file so it contains:
+
+ ```html
+ <p>You're on Rails! Powered by GitLab Auto DevOps.</p>
+ ```
+
+1. Stage the file. Add a commit message, then create a new branch and a merge request
+ by selecting **Commit**.
+
+ ![Web IDE commit](img/guide_ide_commit_v12_3.png)
+
+After submitting the merge request, GitLab runs your pipeline, and all the jobs
+in it, as [described previously](#deploy-the-application), in addition to
+a few more that run only on branches other than the default branch.
+
+After a few minutes a test fails, which means a test was
+'broken' by your change. Select the failed `test` job to see more information
+about it:
+
+```plaintext
+Failure:
+WelcomeControllerTest#test_should_get_index [/app/test/controllers/welcome_controller_test.rb:7]:
+<You're on Rails!> expected but was
+<You're on Rails! Powered by GitLab Auto DevOps.>..
+Expected 0 to be >= 1.
+
+bin/rails test test/controllers/welcome_controller_test.rb:4
+```
+
+To fix the broken test:
+
+1. Return to your merge request.
+1. In the upper right corner, select **Code**, then select **Open in Gitpod**.
+1. In the left-hand directory of files, find the `test/controllers/welcome_controller_test.rb`
+ file, and select it to open it.
+1. Change line 7 to say `You're on Rails! Powered by GitLab Auto DevOps.`
+1. Select **Commit**.
+1. In the left-hand column, under **Unstaged changes**, select the checkmark icon
+ (**{stage-all}**) to stage the changes.
+1. Write a commit message, and select **Commit**.
+
+Return to the **Overview** page of your merge request, and you should not only
+see the test passing, but also the application deployed as a
+[review application](../stages.md#auto-review-apps). You can visit it by selecting
+the **View app** **{external-link}** button to see your changes deployed.
+
+After merging the merge request, GitLab runs the pipeline on the default branch,
+and then deploys the application to production.
+
+## Conclusion
+
+After implementing this project, you should have a solid understanding of the basics of Auto DevOps.
+You started from building and testing, to deploying and monitoring an application
+all in GitLab. Despite its automatic nature, Auto DevOps can also be configured
+and customized to fit your workflow. Here are some helpful resources for further reading:

-
-Check the respective Factory to find out what key is required. Usually `:author` or `:owner`.

-
-# Specify the user where @owner is a [User] record

+
+There are currently three parsers that the GitLab Data Seeder supports. Ruby, YAML, and JSON.
+
+### Ruby
+
+All Ruby Seeds must define a `DataSeeder` class with a `#seed` instance method. You may structure your Ruby class as you wish. All FactoryBot [methods](https://www.rubydoc.info/gems/factory_bot/FactoryBot/Syntax/Methods) (`create`, `build`, `create_list`) will be included in the class automatically and may be called.
+
+The `DataSeeder` class will have the following instance variables defined upon seeding:
+
+- `@seed_file` - The `File` object.
+- `@owner` - The owner of the seed data.
+- `@name` - The name of the seed. This will be the seed file name without the extension.
+- `@group` - The root group that all seeded data will be created under.
+
+```ruby
+# frozen_string_literal: true
+
+class DataSeeder
+ def seed
+ my_group = create(:group, name: 'My Group', path: 'my-group-path', parent: @group)
+ my_project = create(:project, :public, name: 'My Project', namespace: my_group, creator: @owner)
+ end
+end
+```
+
+### YAML
+
+The YAML Parser is a DSL that supports Factory definitions and allows you to seed data using a human-readable format.
+
+```yaml
+name: My Seeder
+groups:
+ - _id: my_group
+ name: My Group
+ path: my-group-path
+
+projects:
+ - _id: my_project
+ name: My Project
+ namespace_id: <%= groups.my_group.id %>
+ creator_id: <%= @owner.id %>
+ traits:
+ - public
+```
+
+### JSON
+
+The JSON Parser allows you to house seed files in JSON format.
+
+```json
+{
+ "name": "My Seeder",
+ "groups": [
+ { "_id": "my_group", "name": "My Group", "path": "my-group-path" }
+ ],
+ "projects": [
+ {
+ "_id": "my_project",
+ "name": "My Project",
+ "namespace_id": "<%= groups.my_group.id %>",
+ "creator_id": "<%= @owner.id %>",
+ "traits": ["public"]
+ }
+ ]
+}

+
+Examples of invalid IDs:
+

+- IDs that have special characters (-, !, $, @, `, =, <, >, ;, :)
+
+#### ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch: Model expected, got ... which is an instance of String

+## YAML Factories
+
+### Generator to generate _n_ amount of records
+
+### [Group Labels](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/spec/factories/labels.rb)
+
+```yaml
+group_labels:
+ # Group Label with Name and a Color
+ - name: Group Label 1
+ group_id: <%= @group.id %>
+ color: "#FF0000"
+```
+
+### [Group Milestones](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/spec/factories/milestones.rb)
+
+```yaml
+group_milestones:
+ # Past Milestone
+ - name: Past Milestone
+ group_id: <%= @group.id %>
+ group:
+ start_date: <%= 1.month.ago %>
+ due_date: <%= 1.day.ago %>
+
+ # Ongoing Milestone
+ - name: Ongoing Milestone
+ group_id: <%= @group.id %>
+ group:
+ start_date: <%= 1.day.ago %>
+ due_date: <%= 1.month.from_now %>
+
+ # Future Milestone
+ - name: Ongoing Milestone
+ group_id: <%= @group.id %>
+ group:
+ start_date: <%= 1.month.from_now %>
+ due_date: <%= 2.months.from_now %>
+```
+
+#### Quirks
+
+- You _must_ specify `group:` and have it be empty. This is because the Milestones factory will manipulate the factory in an `after(:build)`. If this is not present, the Milestone will not be associated properly with the Group.
+
+### [Epics](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/ee/spec/factories/epics.rb)
+
+```yaml
+epics:
+ # Simple Epic
+ - title: Simple Epic
+ group_id: <%= @group.id %>
+ author_id: <%= @owner.id %>
+
+ # Epic with detailed Markdown description
+ - title: Detailed Epic
+ group_id: <%= @group.id %>

+ # Markdown
+
+ **Description**

+ # Epic with dates
+ - title: Epic with dates
+ group_id: <%= @group.id %>
+ author_id: <%= @owner.id %>
+ start_date: <%= 1.day.ago %>
+ due_date: <%= 1.month.from_now %>
+```
+
+## Variables
+
+Each created factory can be assigned an identifier to be used in future seeding.
+
+You can specify an ID for any created factory that you may use later in the seed file.
+
+### Specify a variable
+
+You may pass an `_id` attribute on any factory to refer back to it later in non-Ruby parsers.
+
+Variables are under the factory definitions that they reside in.
+
+```yaml
+---
+group_labels:
+ - _id: my_label #=> group_labels.my_label
+
+projects:
+ - _id: my_project #=> projects.my_project
+```
+
+Variables:
+
+NOTE:
+It is not advised, but you may specify variables with spaces. These variables may be referred back to with underscores.
+
+### Referencing a variable
+

-# Bisect **(FREE)**
+This document was moved to [another location](index.md).
-- Find a commit that introduced a bug
-- Works through a process of elimination
-- Specify a known good and bad revision to begin
-
-## Bisect sample workflow
-
-1. Start the bisect process
-1. Enter the bad revision (usually latest commit)
-1. Enter a known good revision (commit/branch)
-1. Run code to see if bug still exists
-1. Tell bisect the result
-1. Repeat the previous 2 items until you find the offending commit
-
-## Setup
-
-```shell
- mkdir bisect-ex
- cd bisect-ex
- touch index.html
- git add -A
- git commit -m "starting out"
- vi index.html
- # Add all good
- git add -A
- git commit -m "second commit"
- vi index.html
- # Add all good 2
- git add -A
- git commit -m "third commit"
- vi index.html
-```
-
-```shell
- # Add all good 3
- git add -A
- git commit -m "fourth commit"
- vi index.html
- # This looks bad
- git add -A
- git commit -m "fifth commit"
- vi index.html
- # Really bad
- git add -A
- git commit -m "sixth commit"
- vi index.html
- # again just bad
- git add -A
- git commit -m "seventh commit"
-```
-
-## Commands
-
-```shell
- git bisect start
- # Test your code
- git bisect bad
- git bisect next
- # Say yes to the warning
- # Test
- git bisect good
- # Test
- git bisect bad
- # Test
- git bisect good

+You should expect this initial `401` log entry for each Git operation performed over HTTP,
+due to how [HTTP Basic authentication](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication) works.
+
+When the Git client initiates a clone, the initial request sent to GitLab does not provide
+any authentication details. GitLab returns a `401 Unauthorized` result for that request.
+A few milliseconds later, the Git client sends a follow-up request containing authentication
+details. This second request should succeed, and result in a `200 OK` log entry.
+
+If a `401` log entry lacks a corresponding `200` log entry, the Git client is likely using either:

+# Introduction to Git workflows **(FREE)**
With Git, you can use a variety of branching strategies and workflows.
+Having a structured workflow for collaboration in complex projects is
+crucial for several reasons:
-Because the default workflow is not specifically defined, many organizations
-end up with workflows that are too complicated, not clearly defined, or
-not integrated with their issue tracking systems.
+- **Code organization**: Keep the codebase organized, prevent
+ overlapping work, and ensure focused efforts towards a common goal.
+
+- **Version control**: Allow simultaneous work on different features
+ without conflicts, maintaining code stability.
+
+- **Code quality**: A code review and approval process helps maintain high
+ code quality and adherence to coding standards.
+
+- **Traceability and accountability**: Enable tracking of changes and their authors,
+ simplifying issue identification and responsibility assignment.
+
+- **Easier onboarding**: Help new team members quickly grasp the
+ development process, and start contributing effectively.
+
+- **Time and resource management**: Enable better planning, resource
+ allocation, and meeting deadlines, ensuring an efficient development
+ process.
+
+- **CI/CD**: Incorporate automated testing and deployment
+ processes, streamlining the release cycle and delivering high-quality
+ software consistently.
+
+A structured workflow promotes organization, efficiency, and code
+quality, leading to a more successful and streamlined development process.
+
+If the default workflow is not specifically defined, many organizations
+end up with workflows that are:
+
+- Too complicated.
+- Not clearly defined.
+- Not integrated with their issue tracking systems.
Your organization can use GitLab with any workflow you choose.
-However, if you are looking for guidance on best practices, you can use
-the GitLab Flow. This workflow combines [feature-driven development](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feature-driven_development)
-and [feature branches](https://martinfowler.com/bliki/FeatureBranch.html) with issue tracking.
+## Workflow types
-While this workflow used at GitLab, you can choose whichever workflow
-suits your organization best.
+Here are some of the most common Git workflows.
+
+### Centralized workflow
+
+Best suited for small teams transitioning from a centralized version
+control system like SVN. All team members work on a single branch,
+usually `main`, and push their changes directly to the central
+repository.
+
+### Feature branch workflow
+
+Developers create separate branches for each feature or bugfix,
+keeping the 'main' branch stable. When a feature is complete, the
+developer submits a merge request to integrate the
+changes back into `main` after a code review.
+
+### Forking workflow
+
+Commonly used in open-source projects, this workflow allows external
+contributors to work without direct access to the main repository.
+Developers create a fork (personal copy) of the main repository and
+make changes in it. They then submit a merge request to have those changes
+integrated into the main repository.
+
+### Git flow workflow
+
+This workflow is best for projects with a structured release cycle.
+It introduces two long-lived branches: `main` for production-ready
+code and `develop` for integrating features. Additional branches like
+`feature`, `release`, and `hotfix` are used for specific purposes,
+ensuring a strict and organized development process.
+
+### GitLab/GitHub flow
+
+A simplified workflow primarily used for web development and
+continuous deployment. It combines aspects of the Feature branch
+workflow and the Git flow workflow. Developers create feature branches
+from `main`, and after the changes are complete, they are merged back
+into the `main` branch, which is then immediately deployed.
+
+Each of these Git workflows has its advantages and is suited to
+different project types and team structures. Below the most popular
+workflows are reviewed in more details.

+## Enabling the package metadata database
+
+Enabling the package metadata database is required to enable [license scanning of CycloneDX files](../../user/compliance/license_scanning_of_cyclonedx_files).
+This process requires usage of the GitLab License Database, which is licensed under the [EE License](https://storage.googleapis.com/prod-export-license-bucket-1a6c642fc4de57d4/v1/LICENSE).
+Note the following in relation to use of the License Database:
+
+- We may change or discontinue all or any part of the License Database, at any time and without notice, at our sole discretion.
+- The License Database may contain links to third-party websites or resources. We provide these links only as a convenience and are not responsible for any third-party data, content, products, or services from those websites or resources or links displayed on such websites.

+
+### Using the gsutil tool to download the package metadata exports
+
+1. Install the [`gsutil`](https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/gsutil_install) tool.
+1. Find the root of the GitLab Rails directory.
+
+ ```shell
+ export GITLAB_RAILS_ROOT_DIR="$(gitlab-rails runner 'puts Rails.root.to_s')"
+ echo $GITLAB_RAILS_ROOT_DIR
+ ```
+
+1. Download the package metadata exports.
+
+ ```shell
+ # To download the package metadata exports, an outbound connection to Google Cloud Storage bucket must be allowed.
+ mkdir $GITLAB_RAILS_ROOT_DIR/vendor/package_metadata_db/
+ gsutil -m rsync -r -d gs://prod-export-license-bucket-1a6c642fc4de57d4 $GITLAB_RAILS_ROOT_DIR/vendor/package_metadata_db/
+
+ # Alternatively, if the GitLab instance is not allowed to connect to the Google Cloud Storage bucket, the package metadata
+ # exports can be downloaded using a machine with the allowed access, and then copied to the root of the GitLab Rails directory.
+ rsync rsync://example_username@gitlab.example.com/package_metadata_db $GITLAB_RAILS_ROOT_DIR/vendor/package_metadata_db/
+ ```
+
+### Using the Google Cloud Storage REST API to download the package metadata exports
+
+The package metadata exports can also be downloaded using the Google Cloud Storage API. The contents are available at [https://storage.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/prod-export-license-bucket-1a6c642fc4de57d4/o](https://storage.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/prod-export-license-bucket-1a6c642fc4de57d4/o). The following is an example of how this can be downloaded using [cURL](https://curl.se/) and [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/).
+
+```shell
+#!/bin/bash
+
+set -euo pipefail
+
+GITLAB_RAILS_ROOT_DIR="$(gitlab-rails runner 'puts Rails.root.to_s')"
+PKG_METADATA_DIR="$GITLAB_RAILS_ROOT_DIR/vendor/package_metadata_db"
+PKG_METADATA_MANIFEST_OUTPUT_FILE="/tmp/license_db_export_manifest.json"
+PKG_METADATA_DOWNLOADS_OUTPUT_FILE="/tmp/license_db_object_links.tsv"
+
+# Download the contents of the bucket
+curl --silent --show-error --request GET "https://storage.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/prod-export-license-bucket-1a6c642fc4de57d4/o" > "$PKG_METADATA_MANIFEST_OUTPUT_FILE"
+
+# Parse the links and names for the bucket objects and output them into a tsv file
+jq -r '.items[] | [.name, .mediaLink] | @tsv' "$PKG_METADATA_MANIFEST_OUTPUT_FILE" > "$PKG_METADATA_DOWNLOADS_OUTPUT_FILE"
+
+echo -e "Saving package metadata exports to $PKG_METADATA_DIR\n"
+
+# Track how many objects will be downloaded
+INDEX=1
+TOTAL_OBJECT_COUNT="$(wc -l $PKG_METADATA_DOWNLOADS_OUTPUT_FILE | awk '{print $1}')"
+
+# Download the objects
+while IFS= read -r line; do
+ FILE="$(echo -n $line | awk '{print $1}')"
+ URL="$(echo -n $line | awk '{print $2}')"
+ OUTPUT_DIR="$(dirname $PKG_METADATA_DIR/$FILE)"
+ OUTPUT_PATH="$PKG_METADATA_DIR/$FILE"
+
+ echo "Downloading $FILE"
+
+ curl --progress-bar --create-dirs --output "$OUTPUT_PATH" --request "GET" "$URL"
+
+ echo -e "$INDEX of $TOTAL_OBJECT_COUNT objects downloaded\n"
+
+ let INDEX=(INDEX+1)
+done < "$PKG_METADATA_DOWNLOADS_OUTPUT_FILE"
+
+echo "All objects saved to $PKG_METADATA_DIR"
+```
+
+### Automatic synchronization
+
+Your GitLab instance is synchronized [every hour](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/d4331343d26d6e2a81fadd8f7ecd72f7cb74d04d/config/initializers/1_settings.rb#L831-832) with the contents of the `package_metadata_db` directory.
+To automatically update your local copy with the upstream changes, a cron job can be added to periodically download new exports. For example, the following crontabs can be added to setup a cron job that runs every 30 minutes.
+
+```plaintext
+*/30 * * * * gsutil -m rsync -r -d gs://prod-export-license-bucket-1a6c642fc4de57d4 $GITLAB_RAILS_ROOT_DIR/vendor/package_metadata_db/

-# Tutorial: Use GitLab to run an Agile iteration
+This document was moved to [another location](agile_sprint/index.md).
-To run an Agile development iteration in GitLab, you use multiple GitLab features
-that work together.
-
-To run an Agile iteration from GitLab:
-
-1. Create a group.
-1. Create a project.
-1. Set up an iteration cadence.
-1. Create scoped labels.
-1. Create your epics and issues.
-1. Create an issue board.
-
-After you've created these core components, you can begin running your iterations.
-
-## Create a group
-
-Iteration cadences are created at the group level, so start by
-[creating one](../user/group/manage.md#create-a-group) if you don't have one already.
-
-You use groups to manage one or more related projects at the same time.
-You add your users as members in the group, and assign them a role. Roles determine
-the [level of permissions](../user/permissions.md) each user has on the projects in the group.
-Membership automatically cascades down to all subgroups and projects.
-
-## Create a project
-
-Now [create one or more projects](../user/project/index.md#create-a-project) in your group.
-There are several different ways to create a project. A project contains
-your code and pipelines, but also the issues that are used for planning your upcoming code changes.
-
-## Set up an iteration cadence
-
-Before you start creating epics or issues, create an
-[iteration cadence](../user/group/iterations/index.md#iteration-cadences).
-Iteration cadences contain the individual, sequential iteration timeboxes for planning and reporting
-on your issues.
-
-When creating an iteration cadence, you can decide whether to automatically manage the iterations or
-disable the automated scheduling to
-[manually manage the iterations](../user/group/iterations/index.md#manual-iteration-management).
-
-Similar to membership, iterations cascade down your group, subgroup, and project hierarchy. If your
-team works across many groups, subgroups, and projects, create the iteration cadence in the top-most
-group shared by all projects that contain the team's issues as illustrated by the diagram below.
-
-```mermaid
-graph TD
- Group --> SubgroupA --> Project1
- Group --> SubgroupB --> Project2
- Group --> IterationCadence
-```
-
-## Create scoped labels
-
-You should also [create scoped labels](../user/project/labels.md) in the same group where you created
-your iteration cadence. Labels help you
-organize your epics, issues, and merge requests, as well as help you
-to visualize the flow of issues in boards. For example, you can use scoped labels like
-`workflow::planning`, `workflow::ready for development`, `workflow::in development`, and `workflow::complete`
-to indicate the status of an issue. You can also leverage scoped labels to denote the type of issue
-or epic such as `type::feature`, `type::defect`, and `type::maintenance`.
-
-## Create your epics and issues
-
-Now you can get started planning your iterations. Start by creating [epics](../user/group/epics/index.md)
-in the group where you created your iteration cadence,
-then create child [issues](../user/project/issues/index.md) in one or more of your projects.
-Add labels to each as needed.
-
-## Create an issue board
-
-[Issue boards](../user/project/issue_board.md) help you plan your upcoming iterations or visualize
-the workflow of the iteration currently in progress. List columns can be created based on label,
-assignee, iteration, or milestone. You can also filter the board by multiple attributes and group
-issues by their epic.
-
-In the group where you created your iteration cadence and labels,
-[create an issue board](../user/project/issue_board.md#create-an-issue-board) and name it
-"Iteration Planning." Then, create lists for each of your iterations. You can then drag issues from
-the "Open" list into iteration lists to schedule them for upcoming iterations.
-
-To visualize the workflow for issues in the current iteration, create another issue board called
-"Current Iteration." When you're creating the board:
-
-1. Select **Edit board**.
-1. Next to **Iteration**, select **Edit**.
-1. From the dropdown list, select **Current iteration**.
-1. Select **Save changes**.
-
-Your board will now only ever show issues that are in the current iteration.
-You can start adding lists for each of the `workflow::...` labels you created previously.
-
-Now you're ready to start development.

+# Tutorial: Set up issue boards for team hand-off **(PREMIUM)**
+
+<!-- vale gitlab.FutureTense = NO -->
+
+This tutorial shows you how to set up [issue boards](../../user/project/issue_board.md) and [scoped labels](../../user/project/labels.md#scoped-labels) for two teams that work on issues in sequence.
+
+In this example, you'll create two issue boards for the UX and Frontend teams.
+Using the following steps, you can create issue boards and workflows for more sub-teams, like Backend
+or Quality Assurance.
+To learn how we use workflow labels at GitLab, see [Product Development Flow](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product-development-flow).
+
+To set up issue boards for multiple teams:
+
+1. [Create a group](#create-a-group)
+1. [Create a project](#create-a-project)
+1. [Create labels](#create-labels)
+1. [Create team issue boards](#create-team-issue-boards)
+1. [Create issues for features](#create-issues-for-features)
+
+## The goal workflow
+
+After you set up everything, the two teams will be able to hand off issues from one board to another, for example, like this:
+
+1. The project lead adds the `Workflow::Ready for design` and `Frontend` labels to a feature issue called **Redesign user profile page**.
+1. A product designer on the UX team:
+ 1. Checks the `Workflow::Ready for design` list on the **UX workflow** board and decides to work on the profile page redesign.
+
+ <!-- Image: UX board with lists:
+ ~Workflow::Ready for design,
+ ~Workflow::Design
+ ~Workflow::Ready for development -->
+
+ 1. Assigns themselves to the issue.
+ 1. Drags the issue card to the `Workflow::Design` list. The previous workflow label is automatically removed.
+ 1. Creates the ✨new designs✨.
+ 1. [Adds the designs to the issue](../../user/project/issues/design_management.md).
+ 1. Drags the issue card to the `Workflow::Ready for development` list, which adds this label and removes any other `Workflow::` label.
+ 1. Unassigns themselves from the issue.
+1. A developer on the Frontend team:
+ 1. Checks the `Workflow::Ready for development` list on the **Frontend workflow** board and chooses an issue to work on.
+
+ <!-- Image: Frontend board, scoped to ~Frontend, with lists:
+ ~Workflow::Ready for development
+ ~Workflow::In development
+ ~Workflow::Complete -->
+
+ 1. Assigns themselves to the issue.
+ 1. Drags the issue card to the `Workflow::In development` list. The previous workflow label is automatically removed.
+ 1. Adds the frontend code in a [merge request](../../user/project/merge_requests/index.md).
+ 1. Adds the `Workflow::Complete` label.
+
+## Create a group
+
+To prepare for when your project grows, start by creating a group.
+You use groups to manage one or more related projects at the same time.
+You add your users as members in the group, and assign them a role.
+
+Prerequisites:
+
+- If you're using an existing group for this tutorial, make sure you have at least the Reporter role
+ for the group.
+
+To create a group:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Create new... > New group**.
+1. Select **Create group**.
+1. Complete the fields. Name your group `Paperclip Software Factory`.
+1. Select **Create group**.
+
+You've created an empty group. Next, you'll create a project that will store your issues and code.
+
+## Create a project
+
+The main code development work happens in projects and their repositories.
+A project contains your code and pipelines, but also the issues that are used for planning your
+upcoming code changes.
+
+Prerequisites:
+
+- If you're using an existing project for this tutorial, make sure you have at least the Reporter role
+ for the project.
+
+To create a blank project:
+
+1. In your group, on the right of the page, select **New project**.
+1. Select **Create blank project**.
+1. Enter the project details:
+ - In the **Project name** field, name your project `Paperclip Assistant`.
+1. Select **Create project**.
+
+## Create labels
+
+You need a team label and a set of workflow labels to show where in the development cycle an issue is.
+
+You could create these labels in your `Paperclip Assistant` project, but it's better to create them
+in the `Paperclip Software Factory` group. This way, these labels will also be available in all the other
+projects you create later.
+
+To create each label:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Group** and find your **Paperclip Software Factory** group.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Group information > Labels**.
+1. Select **New label**.
+1. In the **Title** field, enter the name of the label. Start with `Frontend`.
+1. Optional. Select a color by selecting from the available colors, or enter a hex color value for
+ a specific color in the **Background color** field.
+1. Select **Create label**.
+
+Repeat these steps to create all the labels you'll need:
+
+- `Frontend`
+- `Workflow::Ready for design`
+- `Workflow::Design`
+- `Workflow::Ready for development`
+- `Workflow::In development`
+- `Workflow::Complete`
+
+## Create team issue boards
+
+Like with labels, you could create your issue boards in the **Paperclip Assistant** project,
+but it can be better to have them in the **Paperclip Software Factory** group. This way, you'll be able
+to manage issues from all the projects that you might create later in this group.
+
+To create a new group issue board:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Group** and find your **Paperclip Software Factory** group.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Issues > Boards**.
+1. Create the UX workflow and Frontend workflow boards.
+
+To create the **UX workflow** issue board:
+
+1. In the upper-left corner of the issue board page, select the dropdown list with the current board name.
+1. Select **Create new board**.
+1. In the **Title field**, enter `UX workflow`.
+1. Clear the **Show the Open list** and **Show the Closed list** checkboxes.
+1. Select **Create board**. You should see an empty board.
+
+ <!-- Image: empty UX workflow board -->
+
+1. Create a list for the `Workflow::Ready for design` label:
+ 1. In the upper-left corner of the issue board page, select **Create list**.
+ 1. In the column that appears, from the **Value** dropdown list, select the `Workflow::Ready for design` label.
+ 1. Select **Add to board**.
+1. Repeat the previous step for labels `Workflow::Design` and `Workflow::Ready for development`.
+
+To create the **Frontend workflow** board:
+
+1. In the upper-left corner of the issue board page, select the dropdown list with the current board name.
+1. Select **Create new board**.
+1. In the **Title field**, enter `Frontend workflow`.
+1. Clear the **Show the Open list** and **Show the Closed list** checkboxes.
+1. Expand **Scope**.
+1. Next to **Labels**, select **Edit** and select the `Frontend` label.
+1. Select **Create board**.
+1. Create a list for the `Workflow::Ready for development` label:
+ 1. In the upper-left corner of the issue board page, select **Create list**.
+ 1. In the column that appeared, from the **Value** dropdown list, select the `Workflow::Ready for development` label.
+ 1. Select **Add to board**.
+1. Repeat the previous step for labels `Workflow::In development` and `Workflow::Complete`.
+
+For now, lists in both your boards should be empty. Next, you'll populate them with some issues.
+
+## Create issues for features
+
+To track upcoming features, enhancements, and bugs, you must create some issues.
+Issues belong in projects, but you can also create them directly from your issue board.
+
+To create an issue from your board:
+
+1. In the upper-left corner of the issue board page, select the dropdown list with the current board name.
+1. Select **UX workflow**.
+1. On the `Workflow::Ready for development` list, select **List actions** (**{ellipsis_v}**) **> Create new issue**.
+1. Complete the fields:
+ 1. Under **Title**, enter `Redesign user profile page`.
+ 1. Under **Projects**, select **Paperclip Software Factory / Paperclip Assistant**.
+1. Select **Create issue**. Because you created the new issue in the label list, it gets created
+ with this label.
+1. Add the `Frontend` label, because only issues with this label appear on the Frontend team's board:
+ 1. Select the issue card (not its title), and a sidebar appears on the right.
+ 1. In the **Labels** section of the sidebar, select **Edit**.
+ 1. From the **Assign labels** dropdown list, select the `Workflow::Ready for design` and
+ `Frontend` labels. The selected labels are marked with a checkmark.
+ 1. To apply your changes to labels, select **X** next to **Assign labels** or select any area
+ outside the label section.
+
+Repeat these steps to create a few more issues with the same labels.
+
+You should now see at least one issue there, ready for your product designers to start working on!
+
+<!-- Image: UX workflow board with at least one issue in the `Workflow::Ready for design` list -->
+
+Congratulations! Now your teams can start collaborating on amazing software.

+
+# Tutorial: Create a compliance pipeline **(ULTIMATE)**
+
+You can use [compliance pipelines](../../user/group/compliance_frameworks.md#compliance-pipelines) to ensure specific
+compliance-related jobs are run on pipelines for all projects in a group. Compliance pipelines are applied
+to projects through [compliance frameworks](../../user/group/compliance_frameworks.md).
+
+In this tutorial, you:
+
+1. Create a [new group](#create-a-new-group).
+1. Create a [new project for the compliance pipeline configuration](#create-a-new-compliance-pipeline-project).
+1. Configure a [compliance framework](#configure-compliance-framework) to apply to other projects.
+1. Create a [new project and apply the compliance framework](#create-a-new-project-and-apply-the-compliance-framework) to it.
+1. Combine [compliance pipeline configuration and regular pipeline configuration](#combine-pipeline-configurations).
+
+Prerequisites:
+
+- Permission to create new top-level groups.
+
+## Create a new group
+
+Compliance frameworks are configured in top-level groups. In this tutorial, you create a top-level group that:
+
+- Contains two projects:
+ - The compliance pipeline project to store the compliance pipeline configuration.
+ - Another project that must run a job in its pipeline that is defined by the compliance pipeline configuration.
+- Has the compliance framework to apply to projects.
+
+To create the new group:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Create new... > New group**.
+1. Select **Create group**.
+1. In the **Group name** field, enter `Tutorial group`.
+1. Select **Create group**.
+
+## Create a new compliance pipeline project
+
+Now you're ready to create a compliance pipeline project. This project contains the
+[compliance pipeline configuration](../../user/group/compliance_frameworks.md#example-configuration) to apply to all
+projects with the compliance framework applied.
+
+To create the compliance pipeline project:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Groups** and find the `Tutorial group` group.
+1. Select **New project**.
+1. Select **Create blank project**.
+1. In the **Project name** field, enter `Tutorial compliance project`.
+1. Select **Create project**.
+
+To add compliance pipeline configuration to `Tutorial compliance project`:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find the `Tutorial compliance project` project.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **CI/CD > Editor**.
+1. Select **Configure pipeline**.
+1. In the pipeline editor, replace the default configuration with:
+
+ ```yaml
+ ---
+ compliance-job:
+ script:
+ - echo "Running compliance job required for every project in this group..."
+ ```
+
+1. Select **Commit changes**.
+
+## Configure compliance framework
+
+The compliance framework is configured in the [new group](#create-a-new-group).
+
+To configure the compliance framework:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Groups** and find the `Tutorial group` group.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > General**.
+1. Expand **Compliance frameworks**.
+1. Select **Add framework**.
+1. In the **Name** field, enter `Tutorial compliance framework`.
+1. In the **Description** field, enter `Compliance framework for tutorial`.
+1. In the **Compliance pipeline configuration (optional)** field, enter
+ `.gitlab-ci.yml@tutorial-group/tutorial-compliance-project`.
+1. In the **Background color** field, select a color of your choice.
+1. Select **Add framework**.
+
+For convenience, make the new compliance framework the default for all new projects in the group:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Groups** and find the `Tutorial group` group.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > General**.
+1. Expand **Compliance frameworks**.
+1. In the row for `Tutorial compliance framework`, select **Options** (**{ellipsis_v}**).
+1. Select **Set default**.
+
+## Create a new project and apply the compliance framework
+
+Your compliance framework is ready, so you can now create projects in the group and they automatically run the
+compliance pipeline configuration in their pipelines.
+
+To create a new project for running the compliance pipeline configuration:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Groups** and find the `Tutorial group` group.
+1. Select **New project**.
+1. Select **Create blank project**.
+1. In the **Project name** field, enter `Tutorial project`.
+1. Select **Create project**.
+
+On the project page, notice the `Tutorial compliance framework` label appears because that was set as the default
+compliance framework for the group.
+
+Without any other pipeline configuration, `Tutorial project` can run the jobs defined in the compliance
+pipeline configuration in `Tutorial compliance project`.
+
+To run the compliance pipeline configuration in `Tutorial project`:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find the `Tutorial project` project.
+1. Select **CI/CD Pipelines**.
+1. Select **Run pipeline**.
+1. On the **Run pipeline** page, select **Run pipeline**.
+
+Notice the pipeline runs a job called `compliance-job` in a **test** stage. Nice work, you've run your first compliance
+job!
+
+## Combine pipeline configurations
+
+If you want projects to run their own jobs as well as the compliance pipeline jobs, you must combine the compliance
+pipeline configuration and the regular pipeline configuration of the project.
+
+To combine the pipeline configurations, you must define the regular pipeline configuration and then update the
+compliance pipeline configuration to refer to it.
+
+To create the regular pipeline configuration:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find the `Tutorial project` project.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **CI/CD > Editor**.
+1. Select **Configure pipeline**.
+1. In the pipeline editor, replace the default configuration with:
+
+ ```yaml
+ ---
+ project-job:
+ script:
+ - echo "Running project job..."
+ ```
+
+1. Select **Commit changes**.
+
+To combine the new project pipeline configuration with the compliance pipeline configuration:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find the `Tutorial compliance project` project.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **CI/CD > Editor**.
+1. In the existing configuration, add:
+
+ ```yaml
+ include:
+ - project: 'tutorial-group/tutorial-project'
+ file: '.gitlab-ci.yml'
+ ```
+
+1. Select **Commit changes**.
+
+To confirm the regular pipeline configuration is combined with the compliance pipeline configuration:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find the `Tutorial project` project.
+1. Select **CI/CD Pipelines**.
+1. Select **Run pipeline**.
+1. On the **Run pipeline** page, select **Run pipeline**.
+
+Notice the pipeline runs two jobs in a **test** stage:
+
+- `compliance-job`.
+- `project-job`.
+
+Congratulations, you've created and configured a compliance pipeline!
+
+See more [example compliance pipeline configurations](../../user/group/compliance_frameworks.md#example-configuration).

+# Tutorial: Convert a personal namespace into a group **(FREE SAAS)**
+
+If you've started out on GitLab with a personal [namespace](../../user/namespace/index.md), but now find
+that you've outgrown its capabilities and its limitations hinder the collaboration on your projects,
+you might want to switch to a group namespace instead.
+A group namespace allows you to create multiple subgroups, and manage their members and permissions.
+
+You don't have to start from scratch - you can create a new group
+and move your existing projects to the group to get the added benefits.
+To find out how, see [Tutorial: Move your personal project to a group](../move_personal_project_to_group/index.md).
+
+But you can go one step further and convert your personal namespace into a group namespace,
+so you get to keep the existing username and URL. For example, if your username is `alex`,
+you can continue using the `https://gitlab.example.com/alex` URL for your group.
+
+This tutorial shows you how to convert your personal namespace into a group namespace
+using the following steps:
+
+1. [Create a group](#create-a-group).
+1. [Transfer projects from the personal namespace to the group](#transfer-projects-from-the-personal-namespace-to-the-group).
+1. [Rename the original username](#rename-the-original-username).
+1. [Rename the new group namespace to the original username](#rename-the-new-group-namespace-to-the-original-username).
+
+For example, if your username for a personal namespace is `alex`, first create a group namespace named `alex-group`.
+Then, move all projects from the `alex` to the `alex-group` namespace. Finally,
+rename the `alex` namespace to `alex-user`, and `alex-group` namespace to the now available `alex` username.
+
+## Create a group
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Groups > View all groups**.
+1. On the right of the page, select **New group**.
+1. In **Group name**, enter a name for the group.
+1. In **Group URL**, enter a path for the group, which is used as the namespace.
+ Don't worry about the actual path, this is only temporary. You'll change this URL to the username of the personal namespace in the [final step](#rename-the-new-group-namespace-to-the-original-username).
+1. Choose the [visibility level](../../user/public_access.md).
+1. Optional. Fill in information to personalize your experience.
+1. Select **Create group**.
+
+## Transfer projects from the personal namespace to the group
+
+Next, you must transfer your projects from the personal namespace to the new group.
+You can transfer only one project at a time, so if you want to transfer multiple projects,
+you must perform the steps below for each project.
+
+Before you start the transfer process, make sure you:
+
+- Have the Owner role for the project.
+- Remove [container images](../../user/packages/container_registry/index.md#move-or-rename-container-registry-repositories).
+ You can't transfer a project that contains container images.
+- Remove npm packages. You can't update the root namespace of a project that contains npm packages.
+
+To transfer a project to a group:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > General**.
+1. Expand **Advanced**.
+1. Under **Transfer project**, choose the group to transfer the project to.
+1. Select **Transfer project**.
+1. Enter the project's name and select **Confirm**.
+
+## Rename the original username
+
+Next, rename the original username of the personal namespace, so that the username becomes available for the new group namespace.
+You can keep on using the personal namespace for other personal projects, or [delete that user account](../../user/profile/account/delete_account.md)
+
+From the moment you rename the personal namespace, the username becomes available, so it's possible that someone else registers an account with it. To avoid this, you should [rename the new group](#rename-the-new-group-namespace-to-the-original-username) as soon as possible.
+
+To [change a user's username](../../user/profile/index.md#change-your-username):
+
+1. On the top bar, in the top-right corner, select your avatar.
+1. Select **Edit profile**.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Account**.
+1. In the **Change username** section, enter a new username as the path.
+1. Select **Update username**.
+
+## Rename the new group namespace to the original username
+
+Finally, rename the new group's URL to the username of the original personal namespace.
+
+To [change your group path](../../user/group/manage.md#change-a-groups-path) (group URL):
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Groups** and find your group.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > General page**.
+1. Expand the **Advanced** section.
+1. Under **Change group URL**, enter the user's original username.
+1. Select **Change group URL**.
+
+That's it! You have now converted a personal namespace into a group, which opens up new possibilities of
+working on projects and collaborating with more members.

+# Tutorial: Perform fuzz testing in GitLab **(ULTIMATE)**
+
+[Coverage-guided fuzz testing](../../user/application_security/coverage_fuzzing/index.md#coverage-guided-fuzz-testing-process) sends unexpected, malformed, or random data to your application, and then monitors
+your application for unstable behaviors and crashes.
+
+This helps you discover bugs and potential security issues that other QA processes may miss.
+
+You should use fuzz testing in addition to other security scanners and your own test processes.
+If you're using GitLab CI/CD, you can run fuzz tests as part your CI/CD workflow.
+
+To set up, configure, and perform coverage-guided fuzz testing
+using JavaScript in this tutorial, you:
+
+1. [Fork the project template](#fork-the-project-template) to create a project
+ to run the fuzz tests in.
+1. [Create the fuzz targets](#create-the-fuzz-targets).
+1. [Enable coverage-guided fuzz testing](#enable-coverage-guided-fuzz-testing)
+ in your forked project.
+1. [Run the fuzz test](#run-the-fuzz-test) to identify security vulnerabilities.
+1. [Fix any vulnerabilities](#fix-the-vulnerabilities) identified by the fuzz test.
+
+## Fork the project template
+
+First, to create a project to try out fuzz testing in, you must fork the `fuzz-testing`
+project template:
+
+1. Open the [`fuzz-testing` project template](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/tutorial-project-templates/fuzz-testing).
+1. [Fork the project template](../../user/project/repository/forking_workflow.md).
+1. When forking the project template:
+ - Name the forked project `fuzz-testing-demo`.
+ - Select an appropriate [namespace](../../user/namespace/index.md).
+ - Set [project visibility](../../user/public_access.md) to **Private**.
+
+You have successfully forked the `fuzz-testing` project template. Before you can
+start fuzz testing, remove the relationship between the project template and the fork:
+
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > General**.
+1. Expand **Advanced**.
+1. In the **Remove fork relationship** section, select **Remove fork relationship**.
+ Enter the name of the project when prompted.
+
+Your project is ready and you can now create the fuzz test. Next you will create
+the fuzz targets.
+
+## Create the fuzz targets
+
+Now you have a project for fuzz testing, you create the fuzz targets. A fuzz target
+is a function or program that, given an input, makes a call to the application
+being tested.
+
+In this tutorial, the fuzz targets call a function of the `my-tools.js` file using
+a random buffer as a parameter.
+
+To create the two fuzz target files:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and select the `fuzz-testing-demo` project.
+1. Create a file in the root directory of the project.
+1. Name the file `fuzz-sayhello.js` and add the following code:
+
+ ```javascript
+ let tools = require('./my-tools')
+
+ function fuzz(buf) {
+ const text = buf.toString()
+ tools.sayHello(text)
+ }
+
+ module.exports = {
+ fuzz
+ }
+ ```
+
+ You can also copy this code from the `fuzz-testing-demo/fuzzers/fuzz-sayhello.js`
+ project file.
+
+1. Name the **Target Branch** `add-fuzz-test` and write a descriptive commit message.
+ - Do not select the **Start a new merge request with these changes** checkbox yet.
+1. Select **Commit changes**.
+1. Return to the root directory of the project.
+1. Make sure you are in the `add-fuzz-test` branch.
+1. Create the second file named `fuzz-readme.js` and add the following code:
+
+ ```javascript
+ let tools = require('./my-tools')
+ function fuzz(buf) {
+ const text = buf.toString()
+ tools.readmeContent(text)
+ }
+ module.exports = {
+ fuzz
+ }
+ ```
+
+ You can also copy this code from the `fuzz-testing-demo/fuzzers/fuzz-readme.js`
+ project file.
+
+1. Write a descriptive commit message.
+1. Make sure the **Target Branch** is `add-fuzz-test`.
+1. Select **Commit changes**.
+
+You now have two fuzz targets that can make calls to the application being tested.
+Next you will enable the fuzz testing.
+
+## Enable coverage-guided fuzz testing
+
+To enable coverage-guided fuzz testing, create a CI/CD pipeline running
+the `gitlab-cov-fuzz` CLI to execute the fuzz test on the two fuzz targets.
+
+To create the pipeline file:
+
+1. Make sure you are in the `add-fuzz-test` branch.
+1. In the root directory of the `fuzz-testing-demo` project, create a new file.
+1. Name the file `.gitlab-ci.yml` and add the following code:
+
+ ```yaml
+ image: node:18
+
+ stages:
+ - fuzz
+
+ include:
+ - template: Coverage-Fuzzing.gitlab-ci.yml
+
+ readme_fuzz_target:
+ extends: .fuzz_base
+ tags: [saas-linux-large-amd64] # Optional
+ variables:
+ COVFUZZ_ADDITIONAL_ARGS: '--fuzzTime=60'
+ script:
+ - npm config set @gitlab-org:registry https://gitlab.com/api/v4/packages/npm/ && npm i -g @gitlab-org/jsfuzz
+ - ./gitlab-cov-fuzz run --engine jsfuzz -- fuzz-readme.js
+
+ hello_fuzzing_target:
+ extends: .fuzz_base
+ tags: [saas-linux-large-amd64] # Optional
+ variables:
+ COVFUZZ_ADDITIONAL_ARGS: '--fuzzTime=60'
+ script:
+ - npm config set @gitlab-org:registry https://gitlab.com/api/v4/packages/npm/ && npm i -g @gitlab-org/jsfuzz
+ - ./gitlab-cov-fuzz run --engine jsfuzz -- fuzz-sayhello.js
+ ```
+
+ This step adds the following to your pipeline:
+ - A `fuzz` stage using a template.
+ - Two jobs, `readme_fuzz_target` and `hello_fuzzing_target`. Each job runs using
+ the `jsfuzz` engine, which reports unhandled exceptions as crashes.
+
+ You can also copy this code from the `fuzz-testing-demo/fuzzers/fuzzers.yml`
+ project file.
+
+1. Write a descriptive commit message.
+1. Make sure the **Target Branch** is `add-fuzz-test`.
+1. Select **Commit changes**.
+
+You have successfully enabled coverage-guided fuzz testing. Next you will run the
+fuzz test using the pipeline you've just created.
+
+## Run the fuzz test
+
+To run the fuzz test:
+
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Merge requests**.
+1. Select **New merge request**.
+1. In the **Source branch** section, select the `add-fuzz-test` branch.
+1. In the **Target branch** section, make sure that your namespace and the `main` branch are selected.
+1. Select **Compare branches and continue**.
+1. [Create the merge request](../../user/project/merge_requests/creating_merge_requests.md).
+
+Creating the merge request triggers a new pipeline, which runs the fuzz test.
+When the pipeline is finished running, you should see a security vulnerability
+alert on the merge request page.
+
+To see more information on each vulnerability, select the individual **Uncaught-exception** links.
+
+You have successfully run the fuzz test and identified vulnerabilities to fix.
+
+## Fix the vulnerabilities
+
+The fuzz test identified two security vulnerabilities. To fix those
+vulnerabilities, you use the `my-tools.js` library.
+
+To create the `my-tools.js` file:
+
+1. Make sure you are in the `add-fuzz-test` branch of the project.
+1. Go to the root directory of your project and open the `my-tools.js` file.
+1. Replace the contents of this file with the following code:
+
+ ```javascript
+ const fs = require('fs')
+
+ function sayHello(name) {
+ if(name.includes("z")) {
+ //throw new Error("😡 error name: " + name)
+ console.log("😡 error name: " + name)
+ } else {
+ return "😀 hello " + name
+ }
+ }
+
+ function readmeContent(name) {
+
+ let fileName = name => {
+ if(name.includes("w")) {
+ return "./README.txt"
+ } else {
+ return "./README.md"
+ }
+ }
+
+ //const data = fs.readFileSync(fileName(name), 'utf8')
+ try {
+ const data = fs.readFileSync(fileName(name), 'utf8')
+ return data
+ } catch (err) {
+ console.error(err.message)
+ return ""
+ }
+
+ }
+
+ module.exports = {
+ sayHello, readmeContent
+ }
+ ```
+
+ You can also copy the code from the `fuzz-testing-demo/javascript/my-tools.js`
+ project file.
+
+1. Select **Commit changes**. This triggers another pipeline to run another fuzz test.
+1. When the pipeline is finished, check the merge request **Overview** page. You
+ should see that the security scan detected no new potential vulnerabilities.
+1. Merge your changes.
+
+Congratulations, you've successfully run a fuzz test and fixed the identified
+security vulnerabilities!
+
+For more information, see [coverage-guided fuzz testing](../../user/application_security/coverage_fuzzing/index.md).

+# Tutorial: Use the left sidebar to navigate GitLab **(FREE)**
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/9044) in GitLab 16.0.
+
+Follow this tutorial to learn how to use the new left sidebar to navigate the UI.
+
+Provide feedback in
+[issue 409005](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/409005).
+
+## Enable the new left sidebar
+
+To view the new sidebar:
+
+1. On the top bar, in the upper-right corner, select your avatar.
+1. Turn on the **New navigation** toggle.
+
+To turn off this sidebar, return to your avatar and turn off the toggle.
+
+## Find your project
+
+Let's get started exploring the GitLab UI and left sidebar.
+
+1. Start by finding the project you want to work on.
+ To explore all available projects, on the left sidebar, select **Explore**:
+
+ ![Explore](img/explore_v16_0.png)
+
+1. On the right, above the list of projects, type search criteria.
+ The search finds projects with a matching description.
+
+ ![Search projects](img/search_projects_v16_0.png)
+
+1. When you find the project you want, select the project name.
+ The left sidebar now shows project-specific options.
+
+ ![Project-specific options](img/project_selected_v16_0.png)
+
+Your issues, merge requests, and to-do items are listed in the shortcuts
+at the top:
+
+![shortcuts](img/shortcuts_v16_0.png)
+
+## Customize the sidebar
+
+You can pin menu items if you tend to use them frequently.
+
+1. Expand the sections until you are viewing the item you want to pin.
+1. Hover over and select the pin (**{thumbtack}**).
+
+ ![pin](img/pin_v16_0.png)
+
+The item is displayed in the **Pinned** section:
+
+![pinned item](img/pinned_v16_0.png)
+
+## Use a more focused view
+
+On the left sidebar, you can also choose a more focused view into the areas you have access to.
+Change the view to **Your work**:
+
+![Your work](img/your_work_v16_0.png)
+
+## Go to the Admin Area
+
+The Admin Area is also available on the left sidebar:
+
+![Admin Area](img/admin_area_v16_0.png)

+# Tutorial: Make your first Git commit
+
+This tutorial is going to teach you a little bit about how Git works. It walks
+you through the steps of creating your own project, editing a file, and
+committing changes to a Git repository from the command line.
+
+When you're done, you'll have a project where you can practice using Git.
+
+## What you need
+
+Before you begin:
+
+- [Install Git on your local machine](../../topics/git/how_to_install_git/index.md).
+- Ensure you can sign in to an instance of GitLab. If your organization doesn't
+ have GitLab, create an account on GitLab.com.
+- [Create SSH keys and add them to GitLab](../../user/ssh.md). SSH keys are how you
+ securely communicate between your computer and GitLab.
+
+## What is Git?
+
+Before we jump into steps, let's go over some basic Git concepts.
+
+Git is a version control system. It's used to track changes to files.
+
+You store files, like code or documents, in a Git *repository*. When you want to edit the files, you
+*clone* the repository to your computer, make the changes, and *push* your changes
+back to the repository. In GitLab, a Git repository is located in
+a *project*.
+
+Each time you push a change, Git records it as a unique *commit*. These commits make up
+the history of when and how a file changed, and who changed it.
+
+```mermaid
+graph LR
+ subgraph Repository commit history
+ direction LR
+ A(Author: Alex<br>Date: 3 Jan at 1PM<br>Commit message: Added sales figures<br> Commit ID: 123abc12) ---> B
+ B(Author: Sam<br>Date: 4 Jan at 10AM<br>Commit message: Removed old info<br> Commit ID: aabb1122) ---> C
+ C(Author: Zhang<br>Date: 5 Jan at 3PM<br>Commit message: Added invoices<br> Commit ID: ddee4455)
+ end
+```
+
+When you work in a Git repository, you work in *branches*. By default, the contents
+of a repository are in a default branch. To make changes, you:
+
+1. Create your own branch, which is a snapshot of the default branch at the time
+ you create it.
+1. Make changes and push them to your branch. Each push creates a commit.
+1. When you're ready, *merge* your branch into the default branch.
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+ subgraph Default branch
+ A[Commit] --> B[Commit] --> C[Commit] --> D[Commit]
+ end
+ subgraph My branch
+ B --1. Create my branch--> E(Commit)
+ E --2. Add my commit--> F(Commit)
+ F --3. Merge my branch to default--> D
+ end
+```
+
+If this all feels a bit overwhelming, hang in there. You're about to see these concepts in action.
+
+## Steps
+
+Here's an overview of what we're going to do:
+
+1. [Create a sample project](#create-a-sample-project).
+1. [Clone the repository](#clone-the-repository).
+1. [Create a branch and make your changes](#create-a-branch-and-make-changes).
+1. [Commit and push your changes](#commit-and-push-your-changes).
+1. [Merge your changes](#merge-your-changes).
+1. [View your changes in GitLab](#view-your-changes-in-gitlab).
+
+### Create a sample project
+
+To start, create a sample project in GitLab.
+
+1. In GitLab, on the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects > View all projects**.
+1. On the right of the page, select **New project**.
+1. For **Project name**, enter `My sample project`. The project slug is generated for you.
+ This slug is the URL you can use to access the project after it's created.
+1. Ensure **Initialize repository with a README** is selected.
+ How you complete the other fields is up to you.
+1. Select **Create project**.
+
+### Clone the repository
+
+Now you can clone the repository in your project. *Cloning* a repository means you're creating
+a copy on your computer, or wherever you want to store and work with the files.
+
+1. On your project page, select **Clone**. Copy the URL for **Clone with SSH**.
+
+ ![Clone a project with SSH](img/clone_project_v14_9.png)
+
+1. Open a terminal on your computer and go to the directory
+ where you want to clone the files.
+
+1. Enter `git clone` and paste the URL:
+
+ ```shell
+ git clone git@gitlab.com:gitlab-example/my-sample-project.git
+ ```
+
+1. Go to the directory:
+
+ ```shell
+ cd my-sample-project
+ ```
+
+1. By default, you've cloned the default branch for the repository. Usually this
+ branch is `main`. To be sure, get the name of the default branch:
+
+ ```shell
+ git branch
+ ```
+
+ The branch you're on is marked with an asterisk.
+ Press `Q` on your keyboard to return to the main terminal
+ window.
+
+### Create a branch and make changes
+
+Now that you have a copy of the repository, create your own branch so you can
+work on your changes independently.
+
+1. Create a new branch called `example-tutorial-branch`.
+
+ ```shell
+ git checkout -b example-tutorial-branch
+ ```
+
+1. In a text editor like Visual Studio Code, Sublime, `vi`, or any other editor,
+ open the README.md file and add this text:
+
+ ```plaintext
+ Hello world! I'm using Git!
+ ```
+
+1. Save the file.
+
+1. Git keeps track of changed files. To confirm which files have changed, get
+ the status.
+
+ ```shell
+ git status
+ ```
+
+ You should get output similar to the following:
+
+ ```shell
+ On branch example-tutorial-branch
+ Changes not staged for commit:
+ (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
+ (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
+ modified: README.md
+
+ no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
+ ```
+
+### Commit and push your changes
+
+You've made changes to a file in your repository. Now it's time to record
+those changes by making your first commit.
+
+1. Add the `README.md` file to the *staging* area. The staging area is where you
+ put files before you commit them.
+
+ ```shell
+ git add README.md
+ ```
+
+1. Confirm the file is staged:
+
+ ```shell
+ git status
+ ```
+
+ You should get output similar to the following, and the filename should be in
+ green text.
+
+ ```shell
+ On branch example-tutorial-branch
+ Changes to be committed:
+ (use "git restore --staged <file>..." to unstage)
+ modified: README.md
+ ```
+
+1. Now commit the staged file, and include a message
+ that describes the change you made. Make sure you surround the message in double
+ quotes (").
+
+ ```shell
+ git commit -m "I added text to the README file"
+ ```
+
+1. The change has been committed to your branch, but your branch and its commits
+ are still only available on your computer. No one else has access to them yet.
+ Push your branch to GitLab:
+
+ ```shell
+ git push origin example-tutorial-branch
+ ```
+
+Your branch is now available on GitLab and visible to other users in your project.
+
+![Branches dropdown list](img/branches_dropdown_v14_10.png)
+
+### Merge your changes
+
+Now you're ready to merge the changes from your `example-tutorial-branch` branch
+to the default branch (`main`).
+
+1. Check out the default branch for your repository.
+
+ ```shell
+ git checkout main
+ ```
+
+1. Merge your branch into the default branch.
+
+ ```shell
+ git merge example-tutorial-branch
+ ```
+
+1. Push the changes.
+
+ ```shell
+ git push
+ ```
+
+NOTE:
+For this tutorial, you merge your branch directly to the default branch for your
+repository. In GitLab, you typically use a [merge request](../../user/project/merge_requests/index.md)
+to merge your branch.
+
+### View your changes in GitLab
+
+You did it! You updated the `README.md` file in your branch, and you merged those changes
+into the `main` branch.
+
+Let's look in the UI and confirm your changes. Go to your project.
+
+- Scroll down and view the contents of the `README.md` file.
+ Your changes should be visible.
+- Above the `README.md` file, view the text in the **Last commit** column.
+ Your commit message is displayed in this column:
+
+ ![Commit message](img/commit_message_v14_10.png)
+
+Now you can return to the command line and change back to your personal branch
+(`git checkout example-tutorial-branch`). You can continue updating files or
+creating new ones. Type `git status` to view the status
+of your changes and commit with abandon.
+
+Don't worry if you mess things up. Everything in Git can be reverted, and if you
+find you can't recover, you can always create a new branch and start again.
+
+Nice work.

-# Tutorial: Move your personal project to a group **(FREE SAAS)**
+This document was moved to [another location](move_personal_project_to_group/index.md).
-If you created a project under a [personal namespace](../user/namespace/index.md),
-you can perform common tasks, like managing issue and merge requests,
-and using source control and CI/CD.
-
-However, at some point you might outgrow your personal project and
-want to move your project to a group namespace instead. With a group namespace, you can:
-
-- Give a group of users access to your project, rather than adding users one-by-one.
-- View all issues and merge requests for all projects in the group.
-- View all unique users in the group namespace, across all projects.
-- Manage usage quotas.
-- Start a trial or upgrade to a paid subscription tier. This option is important if you're
- impacted by the [changes to user limits](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2022/03/24/efficient-free-tier/),
- and need more users.
-
-This tutorial shows you how to move your project from a personal namespace
-to a group namespace.
-
-## Steps
-
-Here's an overview of the steps:
-
-1. [Create a group](#create-a-group).
-1. [Move your project to a group](#move-your-project-to-a-group).
-1. [Work with your group](#work-with-your-group).
-
-### Create a group
-
-To begin, make sure you have a suitable group to move your project to.
-The group must allow the creation of projects, and you must have at least the
-Maintainer role for the group.
-
-If you don't have a group, create one:
-
-1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Groups > View all groups**.
-1. On the right of the page, select **New group**.
-1. In **Group name**, enter a name for the group.
-1. In **Group URL**, enter a path for the group, which is used as the namespace.
-1. Choose the [visibility level](../user/public_access.md).
-1. Optional. Fill in information to personalize your experience.
-1. Select **Create group**.
-
-### Move your project to a group
-
-Before you move your project to a group:
-
-- You must have the Owner role for the project.
-- Remove any [container images](../user/packages/container_registry/index.md#move-or-rename-container-registry-repositories)
-- Remove any npm packages. If you transfer a project to a different root namespace, the project must not contain any npm packages. When you update the path of a user or group, or transfer a subgroup or project, you must remove any npm packages first. You cannot update the root namespace of a project with npm packages. Make sure you update your .npmrc files to follow the naming convention and run npm publish if necessary.
-
-Now you're ready to move your project:
-
-1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
-1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > General**.
-1. Expand **Advanced**.
-1. Under **Transfer project**, choose the group to transfer the project to.
-1. Select **Transfer project**.
-1. Enter the project's name and select **Confirm**.
-
-You are redirected to the project's new page.
-If you have more than one personal project, you can repeat these steps for each
-project.
-
-NOTE:
-For more information about these migration steps,
-see [Transferring your project into another namespace](../user/project/settings/index.md#transfer-a-project-to-another-namespace).
-A migration might result in follow-up work to update the project path in
-your related resources and tools, such as websites and package managers.
-
-### Work with your group
-
-You can now view your project in your group:
-
-1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Groups** and find your group.
-1. Look for your project under **Subgroups and projects**.
-
-Start enjoying the benefits of a group! For example, as the group Owner, you can
-quickly view all unique users in your namespace:
-
-1. In your group, select **Settings > Usage Quotas**.
-1. The **Seats** tab displays all users across all projects in your group.

+# Tutorial: Move your personal project to a group **(FREE SAAS)**
+
+If you created a project under a [personal namespace](../../user/namespace/index.md),
+you can perform common tasks, like managing issue and merge requests,
+and using source control and CI/CD.
+
+However, at some point you might outgrow your personal project and
+want to move your project to a group namespace instead. With a group namespace, you can:
+
+- Give a group of users access to your project, rather than adding users one-by-one.
+- View all issues and merge requests for all projects in the group.
+- View all unique users in the group namespace, across all projects.
+- Manage usage quotas.
+- Start a trial or upgrade to a paid subscription tier. This option is important if you're
+ impacted by the [changes to user limits](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2022/03/24/efficient-free-tier/),
+ and need more users.
+
+This tutorial shows you how to move your project from a personal namespace
+to a group namespace.
+
+## Steps
+
+Here's an overview of the steps:
+
+1. [Create a group](#create-a-group).
+1. [Move your project to a group](#move-your-project-to-a-group).
+1. [Work with your group](#work-with-your-group).
+
+### Create a group
+
+To begin, make sure you have a suitable group to move your project to.
+The group must allow the creation of projects, and you must have at least the
+Maintainer role for the group.
+
+If you don't have a group, create one:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Groups > View all groups**.
+1. On the right of the page, select **New group**.
+1. In **Group name**, enter a name for the group.
+1. In **Group URL**, enter a path for the group, which is used as the namespace.
+1. Choose the [visibility level](../../user/public_access.md).
+1. Optional. Fill in information to personalize your experience.
+1. Select **Create group**.
+
+### Move your project to a group
+
+Before you move your project to a group:
+
+- You must have the Owner role for the project.
+- Remove any [container images](../../user/packages/container_registry/index.md#move-or-rename-container-registry-repositories)
+- Remove any npm packages. If you transfer a project to a different root namespace, the project must not contain any npm packages. When you update the path of a user or group, or transfer a subgroup or project, you must remove any npm packages first. You cannot update the root namespace of a project with npm packages. Make sure you update your .npmrc files to follow the naming convention and run npm publish if necessary.
+
+Now you're ready to move your project:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > General**.
+1. Expand **Advanced**.
+1. Under **Transfer project**, choose the group to transfer the project to.
+1. Select **Transfer project**.
+1. Enter the project's name and select **Confirm**.
+
+You are redirected to the project's new page.
+If you have more than one personal project, you can repeat these steps for each
+project.
+
+NOTE:
+For more information about these migration steps,
+see [Transferring your project into another namespace](../../user/project/settings/index.md#transfer-a-project-to-another-namespace).
+A migration might result in follow-up work to update the project path in
+your related resources and tools, such as websites and package managers.
+
+### Work with your group
+
+You can now view your project in your group:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Groups** and find your group.
+1. Look for your project under **Subgroups and projects**.
+
+Start enjoying the benefits of a group! For example, as the group Owner, you can
+quickly view all unique users in your namespace:
+
+1. In your group, select **Settings > Usage Quotas**.
+1. The **Seats** tab displays all users across all projects in your group.

+# Tutorial: Set up a scan result policy **(ULTIMATE)**
+
+This tutorial shows you how to create and configure a [scan result policy](../../user/application_security/policies/scan-result-policies.md). These policies can be set to take action based on scan results.
+For example, in this tutorial, you'll set up a policy that requires approval from two specified users if a vulnerability is detected in a merge request.
+
+Prerequisites:
+
+The namespace used for this tutorial must:
+
+- Contain a minimum of three users, including your own. If you don't have two other users, you must first
+ create them. For details, see [Creating users](../../user/profile/account/create_accounts.md).
+
+To set up a scan result policy:
+
+1. [Create a test project](#create-a-test-project).
+1. [Add a scan result policy](#add-a-scan-result-policy).
+1. [Test the scan result policy](#test-the-scan-result-policy).
+
+## Create a test project
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects**.
+1. Select **New project**.
+1. Select **Create blank project**.
+1. Complete the fields.
+ - **Project name**: `sast-scan-result-policy`.
+ - Select the **Enable Static Application Security Testing (SAST)** checkbox.
+1. Select **Create project**.
+
+## Add a scan result policy
+
+Next, you'll add a scan result policy to your test project:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find the `sast-scan-result-policy` project.
+1. On the left sidebar, go to **Security and Compliance > Policies**.
+1. Select **New policy**.
+1. In **Scan result policy**, select **Select policy**.
+1. Complete the fields.
+ - **Name**: `sast-scan-result-policy`
+ - **Policy status**: **Enabled**
+1. Add the following rule:
+
+ ```plaintext
+ IF |Security Scan| from |SAST| find(s) more than |0| |All severity levels| |All vulnerability states| vulnerabilities in an open merge request targeting |All protected branches|
+ ```
+
+1. Set **Actions** to the following:
+
+ ```plaintext
+ THEN Require approval from | 2 | of the following approvers:
+ ```
+
+1. Select two users.
+1. Select **Configure with a merge request**.
+
+ The application creates a new project to store the policies linked to it, and creates a merge request to define the policy.
+
+1. Select **Merge**.
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and select the `sast-scan-result-policy` project.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Security and Compliance > Policies**.
+
+ You can see the list of policies added in the previous steps.
+
+## Test the scan result policy
+
+Nice work, you've created a scan result policy. To test it, create some vulnerabilities and check the result:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and select the `sast-scan-result-policy` project.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Repository > Files**.
+1. From the **Add** (**{plus}**) dropdown list, select **New file**.
+1. In the **Filename** field enter `main.ts`.
+1. In the file's content, copy the following:
+
+ ```typescript
+ // Non-literal require - tsr-detect-non-literal-require
+ var lib: String = 'fs'
+ require(lib)
+
+ // Eval with variable - tsr-detect-eval-with-expression
+ var myeval: String = 'console.log("Hello.");';
+ eval(myeval);
+
+ // Unsafe Regexp - tsr-detect-unsafe-regexp
+ const regex: RegExp = /(x+x+)+y/;
+
+ // Non-literal Regexp - tsr-detect-non-literal-regexp
+ var myregexpText: String = "/(x+x+)+y/";
+ var myregexp: RegExp = new RegExp(myregexpText);
+ myregexp.test("(x+x+)+y");
+
+ // Markup escaping disabled - tsr-detect-disable-mustache-escape
+ var template: Object = new Object;
+ template.escapeMarkup = false;
+
+ // Detects HTML injections - tsr-detect-html-injection
+ var element: Element = document.getElementById("mydiv");
+ var content: String = "mycontent"
+ Element.innerHTML = content;
+
+ // Timing attack - tsr-detect-possible-timing-attacks
+ var userInput: String = "Jane";
+ var auth: String = "Jane";
+ if (userInput == auth) {
+ console.log(userInput);
+ }
+ ```
+
+1. In the **Commit message** field, enter `Add vulnerable file`.
+1. In the **Target Branch** field, enter `test-branch`.
+1. Select **Commit changes**. The **New merge request** form opens.
+1. Select **Create merge request**.
+1. In the new merge request, select `Create merge request`.
+
+ Wait for the pipeline to complete. This could be a few minutes.
+
+The merge request security widget confirms that security scanning detected one potential
+vulnerability. As defined in the scan result policy, the merge request is blocked and waiting for
+approval.
+
+You now know how to set up and use scan result policies to catch vulnerabilities!

+Required Pipeline Configuration will be removed in the 17.0 release. This impacts self-managed users on the Ultimate license.
-Running Sidekiq with a [queue selector](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/sidekiq/processing_specific_job_classes.html#queue-selectors) (having multiple processes listening to a set of queues) and [negate settings](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/sidekiq/processing_specific_job_classes.html#negate-settings) is deprecated and will be fully removed in 17.0.
+We recommend replacing this with an alternative [compliance solution](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/group/compliance_frameworks.html#compliance-pipelines)
+that is available now. We recommend this alternative solution because it provides greater flexibility, allowing required pipelines to be assigned to specific compliance framework labels.
-You can migrate away from queue selectors to [listening to all queues in all processes](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/sidekiq/extra_sidekiq_processes.html#start-multiple-processes). For example, if Sidekiq is currently running with 4 processes (denoted by 4 elements in `sidekiq['queue_groups']` in `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`) with queue selector (`sidekiq['queue_selector'] = true`), you can change Sidekiq to listen to all queues in all 4 processes,for example `sidekiq['queue_groups'] = ['*'] * 4`. This approach is also recommended in our [Reference Architecture](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/reference_architectures/5k_users.html#configure-sidekiq). Note that Sidekiq can effectively run as many processes as the number of CPUs in the machine.
+</div>
-While the above approach is recommended for most instances, Sidekiq can also be run using [routing rules](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/sidekiq/processing_specific_job_classes.html#routing-rules) which is also being used on GitLab.com. You can follow the [migration guide from queue selectors to routing rules](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/sidekiq/processing_specific_job_classes.html#migrating-from-queue-selectors-to-routing-rules).

+As a self-managed customer, we are introducing the [feature flag](../administration/feature_flags.md#enable-or-disable-the-feature) `certificate_based_clusters` in GitLab 15.0 so you can keep your certificate-based integration enabled.

-A request to the API for `/api/v4/projects/:id/jobs` can return a paginated list of jobs. Projects can contain hundreds or thousands of jobs, so using an offset to paginate through them is slow.

+The `sidekiq` delivery method for `incoming_email` and `service_desk_email` is deprecated and is

-### Single database connection is deprecated
+GitLab uses a separate process called `mail_room` to ingest emails. Currently, GitLab administrators

+emails from `mail_room` to GitLab.
-Planned removal: GitLab <span class="removal-milestone">17.0</span> <span class="removal-date"></span>
+Using the deprecated `sidekiq` delivery method, `mail_room` writes the job data directly to the GitLab

+configuration. Another disadvantage is that framework optimizations such as job payload compression are missed.
-WARNING:
-This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
-Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+Using the `webhook` delivery method, `mail_room` pushes the ingested email body to the GitLab
+API. That way `mail_room` does not need to know your Redis configuration and the GitLab application
+adds the processing job. `mail_room` authenticates with a shared secret key.
-Previously, [GitLab's database](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/database.html)

+You can configure a custom secret key file (32 characters base 64 encoded) by running a command

+`service_desk_email_secret_file` (always specify the absolute path):
+
+```shell
+echo $( ruby -rsecurerandom -e "puts SecureRandom.base64(32)" ) > ~/.gitlab-mailroom-secret
+```
+
+If you run GitLab on more than one machine, you need to provide the secret key file for each machine.
+
+We highly encourage GitLab administrators to start using the `webhook` delivery method for
+`incoming_email_delivery_method` and `service_desk_email_delivery_method` instead of `sidekiq`.

+Previous work helped [align the vulnerabilities calls for pipeline security tabs](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/343469) to match the vulnerabilities calls for project-level and group-level vulnerability reports. This helped the frontend have a more consistent interface. The old `project.pipeline.securityReportFindings` query was formatted differently than other vulnerability data calls. Now that it has been replaced with the new `project.pipeline.vulnerabilities` field, the old `project.pipeline.securityReportFindings` is being deprecated and will be removed in GitLab 17.0.

+In GitLab 14.4 we introduced the ability to [limit your project's CI/CD job token](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/jobs/ci_job_token.html#limit-your-projects-job-token-access) (`CI_JOB_TOKEN`) access to make it more secure. You can prevent job tokens **from your project's** pipelines from being used to **access other projects**. When enabled with no other configuration, your pipelines cannot access other projects. To use the job token to access other projects from your pipeline, you must list those projects explicitly in the **Limit CI_JOB_TOKEN access** setting's allowlist, and you must be a maintainer in all the projects.
-The ability for users with the Maintainer role to change the **Packages and registries** settings for a group using
-the GraphQL API is deprecated in GitLab 15.8 and will be removed in GitLab 16.0. These settings include:
+The job token functionality was updated in 15.9 with a better security setting to [allow access to your project with a job token](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/jobs/ci_job_token.html#allow-access-to-your-project-with-a-job-token). When enabled with no other configuration, job tokens **from other projects** cannot **access your project**. Similar to the older setting, you can optionally allow other projects to access your project with a job token if you list those projects explicitly in the **Allow access to this project with a CI_JOB_TOKEN** setting's allowlist. With this new setting, you must be a maintainer in your own project, but only need to have the Guest role in the other projects.
-- [Allowing or preventing duplicate package uploads](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/packages/maven_repository/#do-not-allow-duplicate-maven-packages).
-- [Package request forwarding](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/packages/maven_repository/#request-forwarding-to-maven-central).
-- [Enabling lifecycle rules for the Dependency Proxy](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/packages/dependency_proxy/reduce_dependency_proxy_storage.html).
+As a result, the **Limit** setting is deprecated in preference of the better **Allow access** setting. In GitLab 16.0 the **Limit** setting will be disabled by default for all new projects. In projects with this setting currently enabled, it will continue to function as expected, but you will not be able to add any more projects to the allowlist. If the setting is disabled in any project, it will not be possible to re-enable this setting in 16.0 or later.
-In GitLab 16.0 and later, you must have Owner role for a group to change the **Packages and registries**
-settings for the group using either the GitLab UI or GraphQL API.
+In 17.0, we plan to remove the **Limit** setting completely, and set the **Allow access** setting to enabled for all projects. This change ensures a higher level of security between projects. If you currently use the **Limit** setting, you should update your projects to use the **Allow access** setting instead. If other projects access your project with a job token, you must add them to the **Allow access** allowlist.
+
+To prepare for this change, users on GitLab.com or self-managed GitLab 15.9 or later can enable the **Allow access** setting now and add the other projects. It will not be possible to disable the setting in 17.0 or later.

+GitLab 16.0 removes legacy URLs from the GitLab application.
-The support for runner registration tokens is deprecated. As a consequence, the REST API endpoints to reset a registration token are also deprecated and will
-be removed in GitLab 17.0.
-The deprecated endpoints are:
+When subgroups were introduced in GitLab 9.0, a `/-/` delimiter was added to URLs to signify the end of a group path. All GitLab URLs now use this delimiter for project, group, and instance level features.
-- `POST /runners/reset_registration_token`
-- `POST /projects/:id/runners/reset_registration_token`
-- `POST /groups/:id/runners/reset_registration_token`
+URLs that do not use the `/-/` delimiter are planned for removal in GitLab 16.0. For the full list of these URLs, along with their replacements, see [issue 28848](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/28848#release-notes).
-In GitLab 15.8, we plan to implement a new method to bind runners to a GitLab instance,
-as part of the new [GitLab Runner token architecture](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/architecture/blueprints/runner_tokens/).
-This new architecture introduces a new method for registering runners and will eliminate the legacy
-[runner registration token](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/security/token_overview.html#runner-registration-tokens).
-From GitLab 17.0 and later, the runner registration methods implemented by the new GitLab Runner token architecture will be the only supported methods.
+Update any scripts or bookmarks that reference the legacy URLs. GitLab APIs are not affected by this change.

However, with the continued evolution of GitLab CI, replicating all GitLab CI features into `gitlab-runner exec` was no longer viable. Pipeline syntax and validation [simulation](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/pipeline_editor/#simulate-a-cicd-pipeline) are available in the GitLab pipeline editor.

-The `POST ci/lint` API endpoint is deprecated in 15.7, and will be removed in 16.0. This endpoint does not validate the full range of CI/CD configuration options. Instead, use [`POST /projects/:id/ci/lint`](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/lint.html#validate-a-ci-yaml-configuration-with-a-namespace), which properly validates CI/CD configuration.
+By displaying data stored in a Prometheus instance, GitLab allows users to view performance metrics. GitLab also displays visualizations of these metrics in dashboards. The user can connect to a previously-configured external Prometheus instance, or set up Prometheus as a GitLab Managed App.
+However, since certificate-based integration with Kubernetes clusters is deprecated in GitLab, the metrics functionality in GitLab that relies on Prometheus is also deprecated. This includes the metrics visualizations in dashboards. GitLab is working to develop a single user experience based on [Opstrace](https://about.gitlab.com/press/releases/2021-12-14-gitlab-acquires-opstrace-to-expand-its-devops-platform-with-open-source-observability-solution.html).

+GitLab SAST uses various [analyzers](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/application_security/sast/analyzers/) to scan code for vulnerabilities.
-The `VulnerabilityFindingDismiss` GraphQL mutation is being deprecated and will be removed in GitLab 16.0. This mutation was not used often as the Vulnerability Finding ID was not available to users (this field was [deprecated in 15.3](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/update/deprecations.html#use-of-id-field-in-vulnerabilityfindingdismiss-mutation)). Users should instead use `VulnerabilityDismiss` to dismiss vulnerabilities in the Vulnerability Report or `SecurityFindingDismiss` for security findings in the CI Pipeline Security tab.
+We're reducing the number of supported analyzers used by default in GitLab SAST.
+This is part of our long-term strategy to deliver a faster, more consistent user experience across different programming languages.
-</div>
-</div>
+Starting in GitLab 16.0, the GitLab SAST CI/CD template will no longer use the [Security Code Scan](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/security-code-scan)-based analyzer for .NET, and it will enter End of Support status.
+We'll remove this analyzer from the [SAST CI/CD template](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Security/SAST.gitlab-ci.yml) and replace it with GitLab-supported detection rules for C# in the [Semgrep-based analyzer](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/semgrep).
-<div class="announcement-milestone">
+Effective immediately, this analyzer will receive only security updates; other routine improvements or updates are not guaranteed.
+After this analyzer reaches End of Support in GitLab 16.0, no further updates will be provided.
+However, we won't delete container images previously published for this analyzer or remove the ability to run it by using a custom CI/CD pipeline job.
-## Announced in 15.4
+If you've already dismissed a vulnerability finding from the deprecated analyzer, the replacement attempts to respect your previous dismissal. The system behavior depends on:
-<div class="deprecation removal-160 breaking-change">

+If you applied customizations to the affected analyzer, or if you currently disable the Semgrep-based analyzer in your pipelines, you must take action as detailed in the [deprecation issue for this change](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/390416#breaking-change).
-WARNING:
-This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
-Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+**Update:** We've reduced the scope of this change. We will no longer make the following changes in GitLab 16.0:
-All Container Scanning variables that are prefixed by `DOCKER_` in variable name are deprecated. This includes the `DOCKER_IMAGE`, `DOCKER_PASSWORD`, `DOCKER_USER`, and `DOCKERFILE_PATH` variables. Support for these variables will be removed in the GitLab 16.0 release. Use the [new variable names](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/application_security/container_scanning/#available-cicd-variables) `CS_IMAGE`, `CS_REGISTRY_PASSWORD`, `CS_REGISTRY_USER`, and `CS_DOCKERFILE_PATH` in place of the deprecated names.
+1. Remove support for the analyzer based on [PHPCS Security Audit](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/phpcs-security-audit) and replace it with GitLab-managed detection rules in the [Semgrep-based analyzer](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/semgrep).
+1. Remove Scala from the scope of the [SpotBugs-based analyzer](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/spotbugs) and replace it with GitLab-managed detection rules in the [Semgrep-based analyzer](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/semgrep).

-Access tokens that have no expiration date are valid indefinitely, which presents a security risk if the access token

+The Secure stage will be bumping the major versions of its analyzers in tandem with the GitLab 16.0 release. This bump will enable a clear delineation for analyzers, between:
-In GitLab 16.0, any [personal](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/profile/personal_access_tokens.html),
-[project](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/settings/project_access_tokens.html), or
-[group](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/group/settings/group_access_tokens.html) access token that does not have an
-expiration date will automatically have an expiration date set at one year.
+- Those released prior to May 22, 2023
+- Those released after May 22, 2023
-We recommend giving your access tokens an expiration date in line with your company's security policies before the
-default is applied:
+If you are not using the default included templates, or have pinned your analyzer versions you will need to update your CI/CD job definition to either remove the pinned version or to update the latest major version.
+Users of GitLab 13.0-15.10 will continue to experience analyzer updates as normal until the release of GitLab 16.0, following which all newly fixed bugs and released features will be released only in the new major version of the analyzers. We do not backport bugs and features to deprecated versions as per our [maintenance policy](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/policy/maintenance.html). As required, security patches will be backported within the latest 3 minor releases.
+Specifically, the following are being deprecated and will no longer be updated after 16.0 GitLab release:

You can use the vulnerabilityFindingDismiss GraphQL mutation to set the status of a vulnerability finding to `Dismissed`. Previously, this mutation used the `id` field to identify findings uniquely. However, this did not work for dismissing findings from the pipeline security tab. Therefore, using the `id` field as an identifier has been dropped in favor of the `uuid` field. Using the 'uuid' field as an identifier allows you to dismiss the finding from the pipeline security tab.

+Supporting both GitLab's Container Registry as well as third-party container registries is challenging for maintenance, code quality, and backward compatibility.

We are focusing on delivering [new features](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/5136), most of which will require functionalities only available on the GitLab Container Registry.

-The [Jira DVCS Connector](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/integration/jira/dvcs/) (which enables the [Jira Development Panel](https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/view-development-information-for-an-issue/)), will no longer support Jira Cloud users starting with GitLab 16.0. The [GitLab for Jira App](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/integration/jira/connect-app.html) has always been recommended for Jira Cloud users, and it will be required instead of the DVCS connector. If you are a Jira Cloud user, we recommended you begin migrating to the GitLab for Jira App.
-Any Jira Server and Jira Data Center users will need to confirm they are not using the GitHub Enterprise Connector to enable the GitLab DVCS integration, but they may continue to use the [native GitLab DVCS integration](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/integration/jira/dvcs/) (supported in Jira 8.14 and later).
+In GitLab 16.0 we will remove the ability to use a global ID in the work items path. The number at the end of the path will be considered an internal ID (IID) without the need of adding a query param at the end.

+For more information about the blockers to removal, see [this issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/configure/general/-/issues/199).
-The ability to sort the Vulnerability Report by the `State` column was disabled and put behind a feature flag in GitLab 14.10 due to a refactor
-of the underlying data model. The feature flag has remained off by default as further refactoring will be required to ensure sorting
-by this value remains performant. Due to very low usage of the `State` column for sorting, the feature flag will instead be removed to simplify the codebase and prevent any unwanted performance degradation.
+For updates and details about this deprecation, follow [this epic](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/configure/-/epics/8).
+
+GitLab self-managed customers can still use the feature [with a feature flag](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/update/deprecations.html#self-managed-certificate-based-integration-with-kubernetes).

+Previously, variables that referenced or applied alias file variables expanded the value of the `File` type variable. For example, the file contents. This behavior was incorrect because it did not comply with typical shell variable expansion rules. To leak secrets or sensitive information stored in `File` type variables, a user could run an $echo command with the variable as an input parameter.
-In GitLab 15.0, for Dependency Scanning, the default version of Java that the scanner expects will be updated from 11 to 17. Java 17 is [the most up-to-date Long Term Support (LTS) version](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_version_history). Dependency scanning continues to support the same [range of versions (8, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/application_security/dependency_scanning/#supported-languages-and-package-managers), only the default version is changing. If your project uses the previous default of Java 11, be sure to [set the `DS_Java_Version` variable to match](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/application_security/dependency_scanning/#configuring-specific-analyzers-used-by-dependency-scanning).
+This breaking change fixes this issue but could disrupt user workflows that work around the behavior. With this change, job variable expansions that reference or apply alias file variables, expand to the file name or path of the `File` type variable, instead of its value, such as the file contents.

+There was an [identified CVE for Grafana](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-31107), and to mitigate this security vulnerability, we must swap to our own fork because the older version of Grafana we were bundling is no longer receiving long-term support.
-This impacts a small subset of object storage providers:
+This is not expected to cause any incompatibilities with the previous version of Grafana. Neither when using our bundled version, nor when using an external instance of Grafana.

-Effective immediately, they will receive only security updates; other routine improvements or updates are not guaranteed.
-After these analyzers reach End of Support, no further updates will be provided.
-We will not delete container images previously published for these analyzers; any such change would be announced as a [deprecation, removal, or breaking change announcement](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/marketing/blog/release-posts/#deprecations-removals-and-breaking-changes).

-The vulnerability check feature is deprecated in GitLab 14.8 and scheduled for removal in GitLab 15.0. We encourage you to migrate to the new security approvals feature instead. You can do so by navigating to **Security & Compliance > Policies** and creating a new Scan Result Policy.
-
-The new security approvals feature is similar to vulnerability check. For example, both can require approvals for MRs that contain security vulnerabilities. However, security approvals improve the previous experience in several ways:
-
-- Users can choose who is allowed to edit security approval rules. An independent security or compliance team can therefore manage rules in a way that prevents development project maintainers from modifying the rules.
-- Multiple rules can be created and chained together to allow for filtering on different severity thresholds for each scanner type.
-- A two-step approval process can be enforced for any desired changes to security approval rules.
-- A single set of security policies can be applied to multiple development projects to allow for ease in maintaining a single, centralized ruleset.

-The certificate-based integration with Kubernetes [will be deprecated and removed](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2021/11/15/deprecating-the-cert-based-kubernetes-integration/).
-
-As a self-managed customer, we are introducing the [feature flag](../administration/feature_flags.md#enable-or-disable-the-feature) `certificate_based_clusters` in GitLab 15.0 so you can keep your certificate-based integration enabled. However, the feature flag will be disabled by default, so this change is a **breaking change**.
-
-In GitLab 17.0 we will remove both the feature and its related code. Until the final removal in 17.0, features built on this integration will continue to work, if you enable the feature flag. Until the feature is removed, GitLab will continue to fix security and critical issues as they arise.
+The vulnerability check feature is deprecated in GitLab 14.8 and scheduled for removal in GitLab 15.0. We encourage you to migrate to the new security approvals feature instead. You can do so by navigating to **Security & Compliance > Policies** and creating a new Scan Result Policy.

+- Multiple rules can be created and chained together to allow for filtering on different severity thresholds for each scanner type.
+- A two-step approval process can be enforced for any desired changes to security approval rules.
+- A single set of security policies can be applied to multiple development projects to allow for ease in maintaining a single, centralized ruleset.

+- Praefect's metadata verifier's [invalid metadata deletion behavior](../administration/gitaly/praefect.md#enable-deletions) is now enabled by default.
+
+ The metadata verifier processes replica records in the Praefect database and verifies the replicas actually exist on the Gitaly nodes. If the replica doesn't exist, its
+ metadata record is deleted. This enables Praefect to fix situations where a replica has a metadata record indicating it's fine but, in reality, it doesn't exist on disk.
+ After the metadata record is deleted, Praefect's reconciler schedules a replication job to recreate the replica.
+
+ Because of past issues with the state management logic, there may be invalid metadata records in the database. These could exist, for example, because of incomplete
+ deletions of repositories or partially completed renames. The verifier deletes these stale replica records of affected repositories. These repositories may show up as
+ unavailable repositories in the metrics and `praefect dataloss` sub-command because of the replica records being removed. If you encounter such repositories, remove
+ the repository using `praefect remove-repository` to remove the repository's remaining records.
+
+ You can find repositories with invalid metadata records prior in GitLab 15.0 and later by searching for the log records outputted by the verifier. [Read more about repository verification, and to see an example log entry](../administration/gitaly/praefect.md#repository-verification).

+
+### Auto DevOps no longer provisions a database by default
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+Currently, Auto DevOps provisions an in-cluster PostgreSQL database by default.
+In GitLab 16.0, databases will be provisioned only for users who opt in. This
+change supports production deployments that require more robust database management.
+
+If you want Auto DevOps to provision an in-cluster database,
+set the `POSTGRES_ENABLED` CI/CD variable to `true`.
+
+### Azure Storage Driver defaults to the correct root prefix
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+The Azure Storage Driver used to write to `//` as the default root directory. This default root directory appeared in some places in the Azure UI as `/<no-name>/`. We maintained this legacy behavior to support older deployments using this storage driver. However, when moving to Azure from another storage driver, this behavior hides all your data until you configure the storage driver with `trimlegacyrootprefix: true` to build root paths without an extra leading slash.
+
+In GitLab 16.0, the new default configuration for the storage driver uses `trimlegacyrootprefix: true`, and `/` is the default root directory. You can set your configuration to `trimlegacyrootprefix: false` if needed, to revert to the previous behavior.
+
+### Bundled Grafana Helm Chart
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+The Grafana Helm chart that was bundled with the GitLab Helm Chart is removed in the GitLab Helm Chart 7.0 release (releasing along with GitLab 16.0).
+
+The `global.grafana.enabled` setting for the GitLab Helm Chart has also been removed alongside the Grafana Helm chart.
+
+If you're using the bundled Grafana, you should switch to the [newer chart version from Grafana Labs](https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/grafana/grafana)
+or a Grafana Operator from a trusted provider.
+
+In your new Grafana instance, you can [configure the GitLab provided Prometheus as a data source](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/monitoring/performance/grafana_configuration.html#integration-with-gitlab-ui)
+and [connect Grafana to the GitLab UI](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/monitoring/performance/grafana_configuration.html#integration-with-gitlab-ui).
+
+### CAS OmniAuth provider is removed
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+The `omniauth-cas3` gem that provides GitLab with the CAS OmniAuth provider is being removed. You can no longer authenticate into a GitLab instance through CAS. This gem sees very little use. [The gem](https://rubygems.org/gems/omniauth-cas3/) has not had a new release in almost 5 years, which means that its dependencies are out of date and required manual patching during GitLab's [upgrade to OmniAuth 2.0](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/30073).

+### CiCdSettingsUpdate mutation renamed to ProjectCiCdSettingsUpdate
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).

+
+The `CiCdSettingsUpdate` mutation was renamed to `ProjectCiCdSettingsUpdate` in GitLab 15.0.
+The `CiCdSettingsUpdate` mutation will be removed in GitLab 16.0.
+Any user scripts that use the `CiCdSettingsUpdate` mutation must be updated to use `ProjectCiCdSettingsUpdate`
+instead.

+### Conan project-level search returns only project-specific results"
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+The [GitLab Conan repository](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/packages/conan_repository/) supports the `conan search` command, but when searching a project-level endpoint, instance-level Conan packages could have been returned. This unintended functionality is removed in GitLab 16.0. The search endpoint for the project level now only returns packages from the target project.
+
+### Configuring Redis config file paths using environment variables is no longer supported
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+You can no longer specify Redis configuration file locations
+using the environment variables like `GITLAB_REDIS_CACHE_CONFIG_FILE` or
+`GITLAB_REDIS_QUEUES_CONFIG_FILE`. Use the default
+configuration file locations instead, for example `config/redis.cache.yml` or
+`config/redis.queues.yml`.
+
+### Container Registry pull-through cache is removed
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+The Container Registry [pull-through cache](https://docs.docker.com/registry/recipes/mirror/) was deprecated in GitLab 15.8 and removed in GitLab 16.0. This feature is part of the upstream [Docker Distribution project](https://github.com/distribution/distribution) but we are removing that code in favor of the GitLab Dependency Proxy. Use the GitLab Dependency Proxy to proxy and cache container images from Docker Hub.
+
+### Container Scanning variables that reference Docker removed
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+All Container Scanning variables with a name prefixed by `DOCKER_` have been removed. This includes:
+
+- `DOCKER_IMAGE`
+- `DOCKER_PASSWORD`
+- `DOCKER_USER`
+- `DOCKERFILE_PATH`
+
+Instead, use the [new variable names](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/application_security/container_scanning/#available-cicd-variables):
+
+- `CS_IMAGE`
+- `CS_REGISTRY_PASSWORD`
+- `CS_REGISTRY_USER`

+
+Dependency Scanning no longer supports projects that use Java versions 13, 14, 15, and 16.
+
+### Developer role providing the ability to import projects to a group
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+The ability for users with the Developer role for a group to import projects to that group was deprecated in GitLab
+15.8 and is removed in GitLab 16.0.
+
+From GitLab 16.0, only users with at least the Maintainer role for a group can import projects to that group.
+
+### Embedding Grafana panels in Markdown is removed
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+The ability to add Grafana panels in GitLab Flavored Markdown is removed.
+We intend to replace this feature with the ability to [embed charts](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/opstrace/-/epics/33)
+with the [GitLab Observability UI](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/opstrace/opstrace-ui).
+
+### Enforced validation of CI/CD parameter character lengths
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+Previously, only CI/CD [job names](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/jobs/index.html#job-name-limitations) had a strict 255-character limit. Now, more CI/CD keywords are validated to ensure they stay under the limit.
+
+The following to 255 characters are now strictly limited to 255 characters:
+
+- The `stage` keyword.
+- The `ref` parameter, which is the Git branch or tag name for the pipeline.
+- The `description` and `target_url` parameters, used by external CI/CD integrations.
+
+Users on self-managed instances should update their pipelines to ensure they do not use parameters that exceed 255 characters. Users on GitLab.com do not need to make any changes, as these parameters are already limited in that database.
+
+### GitLab administrators must have permission to modify protected branches or tags
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+GitLab administrators can no longer perform actions on protected branches or tags unless they have been explicitly granted that permission. These actions include pushing and merging into a [protected branch](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/protected_branches.html), unprotecting a branch, and creating [protected tags](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/protected_tags.html).
+
+### GitLab.com importer
+
+The [GitLab.com importer](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/import/gitlab_com.html) was deprecated in GitLab 15.8 and is removed in GitLab 16.0.
+
+The GitLab.com importer was introduced in 2015 for importing a project from GitLab.com to a self-managed GitLab instance through the UI.
+
+This feature was available on self-managed instances only. [Migrating GitLab groups and projects by direct transfer](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/group/import/#migrate-groups-by-direct-transfer-recommended)
+supersedes the GitLab.com importer and provides a more cohesive importing functionality.
+
+See [migrated group items](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/group/import/#migrated-group-items) and [migrated project items](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/group/import/#migrated-project-items) for an overview.
+
+### GraphQL API: Runner status no longer returns `PAUSED` and `ACTIVE` values
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+In GitLab 16.0 and later, the GraphQL query for runners will no longer return the statuses `PAUSED` and `ACTIVE`.
+
+- `PAUSED` has been replaced with the field, `paused: true`.
+- `ACTIVE` has been replaced with the field, `paused: false`.
+
+### Jira DVCS connector for Jira Cloud and Jira 8.13 and earlier
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+The [Jira DVCS connector](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/integration/jira/dvcs/) for Jira Cloud was deprecated in GitLab 15.1 and has been removed in 16.0. Use the [GitLab for Jira Cloud app](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/integration/jira/connect-app.html) instead. The Jira DVCS connector was also deprecated for Jira 8.13 and earlier. You can only use the Jira DVCS connector with Jira Data Center or Jira Server in Jira 8.14 and later. Upgrade your Jira instance to Jira 8.14 or later, and reconfigure the Jira integration in your GitLab instance.
+If you cannot upgrade your Jira instance in time and are on GitLab self-managed version, we offer a workaround until GitLab 16.6. This breaking change is deployed in GitLab 16.0 behind a feature flag named `jira_dvcs_end_of_life_amnesty`. The flag is disabled by default, but you can ask an administrator to enable the flag at any time. For questions related to this announcement, see the [feedback issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/408185).
+
+### Legacy Gitaly configuration method
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+Previously, Gitaly configuration keys for Omnibus GitLab were scattered throughout the configuration file. In GitLab
+15.10, we added support for a single configuration structure that matches Gitaly internal configuration. Both methods
+of configuring Gitaly were supported in parallel.
+
+In GitLab 16.0, we removed support for the former configuration method and now only support the new configuration
+method.
+
+Before upgrading to GitLab 16.0, administrators must migrate to the new single configuration structure. For
+instructions, see [Gitaly - Omnibus GitLab configuration structure change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/update/#gitaly-omnibus-gitlab-configuration-structure-change).
+
+### Legacy Gitaly configuration methods with variables
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+The environment variables `GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM` and `GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL` were deprecated in GitLab 14.8 and are removed
+in GitLab 16.0. These variables are replaced with standard
+[`config.toml` Gitaly configuration](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/gitaly/reference.html).
+
+GitLab instances that use `GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM` and `GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL` to configure Gitaly must switch to configuring
+using `config.toml`.
+
+### Legacy Praefect configuration method
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+Previously, Praefect configuration keys for Omnibus GitLab were scattered throughout the configuration file. In GitLab
+15.9, we added support for a single configuration structure that matches Praefect internal configuration. Both methods
+of configuring Praefect were supported in parallel.
+
+In GitLab 16.0, we removed support for the former configuration method and now only support the new configuration
+method.
+
+Before upgrading to GitLab 16.0, administrators must migrate to the new single configuration structure. For
+instructions, see [Praefect - Omnibus GitLab configuration structure change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/update/#praefect-omnibus-gitlab-configuration-structure-change).
+
+### License-Check and the Policies tab on the License Compliance page
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+The License Check Policies feature has been removed. Additionally, the Policies tab on the License Compliance page and all APIs related to the License Check feature have been removed. To enforce approvals based on detected licenses, use the [License Approval policy](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/compliance/license_approval_policies.html) feature instead.
+
+### Limit CI_JOB_TOKEN scope is disabled
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+In GitLab 14.4 we introduced the ability to [limit your project's CI/CD job token](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/jobs/ci_job_token.html#limit-your-projects-job-token-access) (`CI_JOB_TOKEN`) access to make it more secure. You could use the **Limit CI_JOB_TOKEN access** setting to prevent job tokens from your project's pipelines from being used to **access other projects**. When enabled with no other configuration, your pipelines could not access any other projects. To use job tokens to access other projects from your project's pipelines, you needed to list those other projects explicitly in the setting's allowlist, and you needed to be a maintainer in _all_ the projects. You might have seen this mentioned as the "outbound scope" of the job token.
+
+The job token functionality was updated in 15.9 with a [better security setting](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/jobs/ci_job_token.html#allow-access-to-your-project-with-a-job-token). Instead of securing your own project's job tokens from accessing other projects, the new workflow is to secure your own project from being accessed by other projects' job tokens without authorization. You can see this as an "inbound scope" for job tokens. When this new **Allow access to this project with a CI_JOB_TOKEN** setting is enabled with no other configuration, job tokens from other projects cannot **access your project**. If you want a project to have access to your own project, you must list it in the new setting's allowlist. You must be a maintainer in your own project to control the new allowlist, but you only need to have the Guest role in the other projects. This new setting is enabled by default for all new projects.
+
+In GitLab 16.0, the old **Limit CI_JOB_TOKEN access** setting is disabled by default for all **new** projects. In existing projects with this setting currently enabled, it will continue to function as expected, but you are unable to add any more projects to the old allowlist. If the setting is disabled in any project, it is not possible to re-enable this setting in 16.0 or later. To control access between your projects, use the new **Allow access** setting instead.
+
+In 17.0, we plan to remove the **Limit** setting completely, and set the **Allow access** setting to enabled for all projects. This change ensures a higher level of security between projects. If you currently use the **Limit** setting, you should update your projects to use the **Allow access** setting instead. If other projects access your project with a job token, you must add them to the **Allow access** setting's allowlist.
+
+To prepare for this change, users on GitLab.com or self-managed GitLab 15.9 or later can enable the **Allow access** setting now and add the other projects. It will not be possible to disable the setting in 17.0 or later.
+
+### Managed Licenses API
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+The [Managed Licenses API](https://archives.docs.gitlab.com/15.8/ee/api/managed_licenses.html) has been removed. To enforce approvals in merge requests when non-compliant licenses are detected, use the [License Approval policy](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/compliance/license_approval_policies.html) feature instead.
+
+Our [GraphQL APIs](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/graphql/reference/) can be used to create a Security Policy Project, [update the policy.yml](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/graphql/reference/#mutationscanexecutionpolicycommit) in the Security Policy Project, and enforce those policies.
+
+To query a list of dependencies and components, use our [Dependencies REST API](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/dependencies.html) or [export from the Dependency List](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/application_security/dependency_list/).
+
+### Maximum number of active pipelines per project limit (`ci_active_pipelines`)
+
+The [**Maximum number of active pipelines per project** limit](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/admin_area/settings/continuous_integration.html#set-cicd-limits) has been removed. Instead, use the other recommended rate limits that offer similar protection:
+
+- [**Pipelines rate limits**](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/admin_area/settings/rate_limit_on_pipelines_creation.html).
+- [**Total number of jobs in currently active pipelines**](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/admin_area/settings/continuous_integration.html#set-cicd-limits).
+
+### Monitoring performance metrics through Prometheus is removed
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+We previously launched a solution that allows you to view performance metrics by displaying data stored in a Prometheus instance.
+The Prometheus instance can be set up as a GitLab-managed app or you can connect a previously configured Prometheus instance.
+The latter is known as an "external Prometheus" in GitLab. The value we provided was to enable you to easily set up monitoring
+(using GitLab Managed Apps) and have the visualization of the metrics all in the same tool you used to build the application.
+
+However, as we are removing certificate-based integrations, the full monitoring experience is also deprecated as you will not
+have the option to easily set up Prometheus from GitLab. Furthermore, we plan to consolidate on
+a focused observability dashboard experience instead of having multiple paths to view metrics. Because of this, we are also removing the external
+Prometheus experience, together with the metrics visualization capability.
+
+This removal only refers to the GitLab Metrics capabilities, and **does not** include:
+
+- Deprecating [alerts for Prometheus](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/338834).
+- [Capabilities that GitLab comes with that allow operators of GitLab to retrieve metrics from those instances](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/monitoring/prometheus/gitlab_metrics.html).
+
+### Non-expiring access tokens no longer supported
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+Currently, you can create access tokens that have no expiration date. These access tokens are valid indefinitely, which presents a security risk if the access token is
+divulged. Because expiring access tokens are better, from GitLab 15.4 we [populate a default expiration date](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/348660).
+
+In GitLab 16.0, any personal, project, or group access token that does not have an expiration date will automatically have an expiration date set at 365 days later than the current date.
+
+### Non-standard default Redis ports are no longer supported
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+If GitLab starts without any Redis configuration file present,
+GitLab assumes it can connect to three Redis servers at `localhost:6380`,
+`localhost:6381` and `localhost:6382`. We are changing this behavior
+so GitLab assumes there is one Redis server at `localhost:6379`.
+
+If you want to keep using the three servers, you must configure
+the Redis URLs by editing the `config/redis.cache.yml`,`config/redis.queues.yml`,
+and `config/redis.shared_state.yml` files.
+
+### PipelineSecurityReportFinding name GraphQL field
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+Previously, the [PipelineSecurityReportFinding GraphQL type was updated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/335372) to include a new `title` field. This field is an alias for the current `name` field, making the less specific `name` field redundant. The `name` field is removed from the PipelineSecurityReportFinding type in GitLab 16.0.
+
+### PostgreSQL 12 compatibility
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+In GitLab 16.0, PostgreSQL 13 is the minimum supported PostgreSQL version. PostgreSQL 12 is no longer shipped with the GitLab Omnibus package.
+Before upgrading to GitLab 16.0, if you are:
+
+- Still using GitLab-packaged PostgreSQL 12, you must [perform a database upgrade](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/database.html#upgrade-packaged-postgresql-server)
+ to PostgreSQL 13.
+- Using an externally-provided PostgreSQL 12, you must upgrade to PostgreSQL 13 or later to meet the
+ [minimum version requirements](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/install/requirements.html#postgresql-requirements).
+
+### Praefect custom metrics endpoint configuration
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+Support for using the `prometheus_exclude_database_from_default_metrics` configuration value was deprecated in
+GitLab 15.9 and is removed in GitLab 16.0. We made this change to improve the performance of Praefect.
+All metrics that scrape the Praefect database are now exported to the `/db_metrics` endpoint.
+
+You must update your metrics collection targets to use the `/db_metrics` endpoint.
+
+### Project REST API field `operations_access_level` removed
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+In project REST API endpoints, the `operations_access_level` field
+is removed in favor of more specialized fields like:
+
+- `releases_access_level`
+- `environments_access_level`
+- `feature_flags_access_level`
+- `infrastructure_access_level`
+- `monitor_access_level`
+
+### Rake task for importing bare repositories
+
+The [Rake task for importing bare repositories](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/raketasks/import.html) `gitlab:import:repos` was deprecated in GitLab 15.8 and is removed in GitLab 16.0.
+
+This Rake task imported a directory tree of repositories into a GitLab instance. These repositories must have been
+managed by GitLab previously, because the Rake task relied on the specific directory structure or a specific custom Git setting in order to work (`gitlab.fullpath`).
+
+Importing repositories using this Rake task had limitations. The Rake task:
+
+- Only knew about project and project wiki repositories and didn't support repositories for designs, group wikis, or snippets.
+- Permitted you to import non-hashed storage projects even though these aren't supported.
+- Relied on having Git config `gitlab.fullpath` set. [Epic 8953](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/8953) proposes removing support for this setting.
+
+Alternatives to using the `gitlab:import:repos` Rake task include:
+
+- Migrating projects using either [an export file](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/settings/import_export.html) or
+ [direct transfer](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/group/import/#migrate-groups-by-direct-transfer-recommended) migrate repositories as well.
+- Importing a [repository by URL](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/import/repo_by_url.html).
+- Importing a [repositories from a non-GitLab source](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/import/).
+
+### Redis 5 compatibility
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+In GitLab 13.9, we updated the Omnibus GitLab package and GitLab Helm chart 4.9 to Redis 6. Redis 5 reached end of life in April 2022 and is not supported.
+
+GitLab 16.0, we have removed support for Redis 5. If you are using your own Redis 5.0 instance, you must upgrade it to Redis 6.0 or later before upgrading to GitLab 16.0
+or later.
+
+### Removal of job_age parameter in `POST /jobs/request` Runner endpoint
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+The `job_age` parameter, returned from the `POST /jobs/request` API endpoint used in communication with GitLab Runner, has been removed in GitLab 16.0.
+
+This could be a breaking change for anyone that developed their own runner that relies on this parameter being returned by the endpoint. This is not a breaking change for anyone using an officially released version of GitLab Runner, including public shared runners on GitLab.com.
+
+### Remove legacy configuration fields in GitLab Runner Helm Chart
+
+In GitLab 13.6 and later, users can [specify any runner configuration in the GitLab Runner Helm chart](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/install/kubernetes.html). When this features was released, we deprecated the fields in the GitLab Helm Chart configuration specific to the runner. As of v1.0 of the GitLab Runner Helm chart (GitLab 16.0), the following fields have been removed and are no longer supported:
+
+- `image`
+- `rbac.resources`
+- `rbac.verbs`
+- `runners.image`
+- `runners.imagePullSecrets`
+- `runners.imagePullPolicy`
+- `runners.requestConcurrency`
+- `runners.privileged`
+- `runners.namespace`
+- `runners.pollTimeout`
+- `runners.outputLimit`
+- `runners.cache.cacheType`
+- `runners.cache.cachePath`
+- `runners.cache.cacheShared`
+- `runners.cache.s3ServerAddress`
+- `runners.cache.s3BucketLocation`
+- `runners.cache.s3CacheInsecure`
+- `runners.cache.gcsBucketName`
+- `runners.builds`
+- `runners.services`
+- `runners.helpers`
+- `runners.pod_security_context`
+- `runners.serviceAccountName`
+- `runners.cloneUrl`
+- `runners.nodeSelector`
+- `runners.nodeTolerations`
+- `runners.podLabels`
+- `runners.podAnnotations`
+- `runners.env`
+
+### Remove the deprecated `environment_tier` parameter from the DORA API
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+The `environment_tier` parameter has been superseded by the `environment_tiers` parameter.
+
+If you use the `environment_tier` parameter in your integration (REST or GraphQL) then you need to replace it with the `environment_tiers` parameter which accepts an array of strings.
+
+### Removed `external` field from GraphQL `ReleaseAssetLink` type
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+From GitLab 15.9, all Release links are external. The `external` field of the `ReleaseAssetLink` type was deprecated in 15.9, and removed in GitLab 16.0.
+
+### Removed `external` field from Releases and Release link APIs
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+From GitLab 15.9, all Release links are external. The `external` field in the Releases and Release link APIs was deprecated in 15.9, and removed in GitLab 16.0.
+
+### Security report schemas version 14.x.x
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+Version 14.x.x [security report schemas](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/security-report-schemas) have been removed.
+Security reports that use schema version 14.x.x will cause an error in the pipeline's **Security** tab. For more information, refer to [security report validation](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/application_security/#security-report-validation).
+
+### Self-monitoring project is removed
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+GitLab self-monitoring project was meant to enable self-hosted GitLab administrators to visualize performance metrics of GitLab within GitLab itself. This feature relied on GitLab Metrics dashboards. With metrics dashboard being removed, self-monitoring project is also removed. We recommended that self-hosted users monitor their GitLab instance with alternative visualization tools, such as Grafana.
+
+### Starboard directive in the config for the GitLab agent for Kubernetes removed
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+The GitLab operational container scanning feature no longer requires you to install Starboard. The `starboard:` directive in configuration files for the GitLab agent for Kubernetes has been removed. Use the `container_scanning:` directive instead.
+
+### Stop publishing GitLab Runner images based on Windows Server 2004 and 20H2
+
+As of GitLab 16.0, GitLab Runner images based on Windows Server 2004 and 20H2 will not be provided as these operating systems are end-of-life.
+
+### The Phabricator task importer
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+The [Phabricator task importer](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/import/phabricator.html) was deprecated in
+GitLab 15.7 and is removed in 16.0.
+
+The Phabricator project hasn't been actively maintained since June 1, 2021. We haven't observed imports using this
+tool. There has been no activity on the open related issues on GitLab.
+
+### The Security Code Scan-based GitLab SAST analyzer is now removed
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+GitLab SAST uses various [analyzers](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/application_security/sast/analyzers/) to scan code for vulnerabilities.
+We've reduced the number of supported analyzers used by default in GitLab SAST.
+This is part of our long-term strategy to deliver a faster, more consistent user experience across different programming languages.
+
+As of GitLab 16.0, the [SAST CI/CD template](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Security/SAST.gitlab-ci.yml) no longer uses the [Security Code Scan](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/security-code-scan)-based analyzer for .NET.
+We've removed this analyzer from the SAST CI/CD template and replaced it with GitLab-supported detection rules for C# in the [Semgrep-based analyzer](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/semgrep).
+
+Because this analyzer has reached End of Support in GitLab 16.0, we won't provide further updates to it.
+However, we won't delete any container images we previously published for this analyzer or remove the ability to run it by using a [custom CI/CD pipeline job](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/artifacts_reports.html#artifactsreportssast).
+
+If you've already dismissed a vulnerability finding from the deprecated analyzer, the replacement attempts to respect your previous dismissal. See [Vulnerability translation documentation](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/application_security/sast/analyzers.html#vulnerability-translation) for further details.
+
+If you customize the behavior of GitLab SAST by disabling the Semgrep-based analyzer or depending on specific SAST jobs in your pipelines, you must take action as detailed in the [deprecation issue for this change](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/390416#actions-required).
+
+### The stable Terraform CI/CD template has been replaced with the latest template
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+With every major GitLab version, we update the stable Terraform templates with the current latest templates.
+This change affects the [quickstart](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Terraform.gitlab-ci.yml)
+and the [base](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Terraform/Base.gitlab-ci.yml) templates.
+
+The new templates do not change the directory to `$TF_ROOT` explicitly: `gitlab-terraform` gracefully
+handles directory changing. If you altered the job scripts to assume that the current working directory is `$TF_ROOT`, you must manually add `cd "$TF_ROOT"` now.
+
+Because the latest template introduces Merge Request Pipeline support which is not supported in Auto DevOps,
+those rules are not yet integrated into the stable template.
+However, we may introduce them later on, which may break your Terraform pipelines in regards to which jobs are executed.
+
+To accommodate the changes, you might need to adjust the [`rules`](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/#rules) in your
+`.gitlab-ci.yml` file.
+
+### Two DAST API variables have been removed
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+The variables `DAST_API_HOST_OVERRIDE` and `DAST_API_SPECIFICATION` have been removed from use for DAST API scans.
+
+`DAST_API_HOST_OVERRIDE` has been removed in favor of using the `DAST_API_TARGET_URL` to automatically override the host in the OpenAPI specification.
+
+`DAST_API_SPECIFICATION` has been removed in favor of `DAST_API_OPENAPI`. To continue using an OpenAPI specification to guide the test, users must replace the `DAST_API_SPECIFICATION` variable with the `DAST_API_OPENAPI` variable. The value can remain the same, but the variable name must be replaced.
+
+### Use of `id` field in vulnerabilityFindingDismiss mutation
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+You can use the vulnerabilityFindingDismiss GraphQL mutation to set the status of a vulnerability finding to `Dismissed`. Previously, this mutation used the `id` field to identify findings uniquely. However, this did not work for dismissing findings from the pipeline security tab. Therefore, using the `id` field as an identifier has been dropped in favor of the `uuid` field. Using the 'uuid' field as an identifier allows you to dismiss the finding from the pipeline security tab.
+
+### Vulnerability confidence field
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+In GitLab 15.3, [security report schemas below version 15 were deprecated](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/update/deprecations.html#security-report-schemas-version-14xx).
+The `confidence` attribute on vulnerability findings exists only in schema versions before `15-0-0` and in GitLab prior to 15.4. To maintain consistency
+between the reports and our public APIs, the `confidence` attribute on any vulnerability-related components of our GraphQL API is now removed.
+
+### `CI_BUILD_*` predefined variables removed
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+The predefined CI/CD variables that start with `CI_BUILD_*` were deprecated in GitLab 9.0, and removed in GitLab 16.0. If you still use these variables, you must change to the replacement [predefined variables](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/variables/predefined_variables.html) which are functionally identical:
+
+| Removed variable | Replacement variable |
+| --------------------- |------------------------ |
+| `CI_BUILD_BEFORE_SHA` | `CI_COMMIT_BEFORE_SHA` |
+| `CI_BUILD_ID` | `CI_JOB_ID` |
+| `CI_BUILD_MANUAL` | `CI_JOB_MANUAL` |
+| `CI_BUILD_NAME` | `CI_JOB_NAME` |
+| `CI_BUILD_REF` | `CI_COMMIT_SHA` |
+| `CI_BUILD_REF_NAME` | `CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME` |
+| `CI_BUILD_REF_SLUG` | `CI_COMMIT_REF_SLUG` |
+| `CI_BUILD_REPO` | `CI_REPOSITORY_URL` |
+| `CI_BUILD_STAGE` | `CI_JOB_STAGE` |
+| `CI_BUILD_TAG` | `CI_COMMIT_TAG` |
+| `CI_BUILD_TOKEN` | `CI_JOB_TOKEN` |
+| `CI_BUILD_TRIGGERED` | `CI_PIPELINE_TRIGGERED` |
+
+### `POST ci/lint` API endpoint removed
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+The `POST ci/lint` API endpoint was deprecated in 15.7, and removed in 16.0. This endpoint did not validate the full range of CI/CD configuration options. Instead, use [`POST /projects/:id/ci/lint`](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/lint.html#validate-a-ci-yaml-configuration-with-a-namespace), which properly validates CI/CD configuration.
+
+### vulnerabilityFindingDismiss GraphQL mutation
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+The `VulnerabilityFindingDismiss` GraphQL mutation has been removed. This mutation was not used often as the Vulnerability Finding ID was not available to users (this field was [deprecated in 15.3](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/update/deprecations.html#use-of-id-field-in-vulnerabilityfindingdismiss-mutation)). Instead of `VulnerabilityFindingDismiss`, you should use `VulnerabilityDismiss` to dismiss vulnerabilities in the Vulnerability Report or `SecurityFindingDismiss` for security findings in the CI Pipeline Security tab.

+
+The Live Preview feature of the Web IDE was intended to provide a client-side preview of static web applications. However, complex configuration steps and a narrow set of supported project types have limited its utility. With the introduction of the Web IDE Beta in GitLab 15.7, you can now connect to a full server-side runtime environment. With upcoming support for installing extensions in the Web IDE, we’ll also support more advanced workflows than those available with Live Preview. As of GitLab 15.9, Live Preview is no longer available in the Web IDE.

+### `artifacts:public` CI/CD keyword refactored
+
+WARNING:
+This is a [breaking change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/deprecation_guidelines/).
+Review the details carefully before upgrading.
+
+The [`artifacts:public` CI/CD keyword](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/#artifactspublic) was discovered to be not working properly since GitLab 15.8 and needed to be refactored. This feature is disabled on GitLab.com, and disabled by default on self-managed instances. If an administrator for an instance running GitLab 15.8 or 15.9 enabled this feature via the `non_public_artifacts` feature flag, it is likely that artifacts created with the `public:false` setting are being treated as `public:true`.
+
+If you have projects that use this setting, you should delete artifacts that must not be public, or [change the visibility](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/public_access.html#change-project-visibility) of affected projects to private, before updating to GitLab 15.8 or later.
+
+In GitLab 15.10, this feature's code was refactored. On instances with this feature enabled, new artifacts created with `public:false` are now working as expected, though still disabled by default. Avoid testing this feature with production data until it is enabled by default and made generally available.

The rate limit also applies to users who authenticate with a [personal](../../../user/profile/personal_access_tokens.md) or [group access token](../../../user/group/settings/group_access_tokens.md).
-If the `git_abuse_rate_limit_feature_flag` feature flag is enabled, all application administrators receive an email when a user is about to be banned.

-If automatic banning is disabled, a user is not banned automatically when they exceed the limit. However, administrators are still notified. You can use this setup to determine the correct values of the rate limit settings before enabling automatic banning.

+> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/112283) in GitLab 15.10 with a [flag](../../../administration/feature_flags.md) named `rate_limit_for_unauthenticated_projects_api_access`. Disabled by default.
+> - [Enabled on GitLab.com](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/391922) on May 08, 2023.
+> - [Enabled on self-managed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/119603) in GitLab 16.0 by default.
+> - [Generally available](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/120445) in GitLab 16.0. Feature flag `rate_limit_for_unauthenticated_projects_api_access` removed.
+
+You can configure the rate limit per IP address for unauthenticated requests to the [list all projects API](../../../api/projects.md#list-all-projects).
+
+To change the rate limit:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Admin**.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > Network**.
+1. Expand **Projects API rate limit**.
+1. In the **Maximum requests per 10 minutes per IP address** text box, enter the new value.
+1. Select **Save changes**.
+
+The rate limit:
+
+- Applies per IP address.
+- Doesn't apply to authenticated requests.
+- Can be set to 0 to disable rate limiting.
+
+The default value of the rate limit is `400`.
+
+Requests over the rate limit are logged into the `auth.log` file.
+
+For example, if you set a limit of 400, unauthenticated requests to the `GET /projects` API endpoint that
+exceed a rate of 400 within 10 minutes are blocked. Access to the endpoint is restored after ten minutes have elapsed.

+# AI/ML powered features
+
+GitLab is creating AI-assisted features across our DevSecOps platform. These features aim to help increase velocity and solve key pain points across the software development lifecycle.
+
+## Enable AI/ML features
+
+> Introduced in GitLab 16.0 and is [actively being rolled out](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/118222).
+
+Prerequisites:
+
+- You must have the Owner role for the group.
+
+To enable AI/ML features:
+
+- Enable the [Experiment features setting](group/manage.md#group-experiment-features-setting).
+- The [third-party AI features setting](group/manage.md#group-third-party-ai-features-setting) is enabled by default. To disable AI features powered by third-party APIs, disable this setting.
+
+These settings give you control over which features are enabled. These settings work together so you can have a mix of both experimental and third-party AI features.
+
+## Generally Available AI features
+
+When a feature is [Generally Available](../policy/alpha-beta-support.md#generally-available-ga), it does not require the [group-level Experiment features setting](group/manage.md#group-experiment-features-setting) to be enabled. Some of these features might require the [group-level third-party AI features setting](group/manage.md#group-third-party-ai-features-setting).

+The following feature is Generally Available:
+
+- [Suggested Reviewers](project/merge_requests/reviews/index.md#suggested-reviewers)

+## Beta AI features
+
+[Beta features](../policy/alpha-beta-support.md#beta) do not require the [group-level Experiment features setting](group/manage.md#group-experiment-features-setting) to be enabled.
+
+The following feature is in Beta:
+
+- [Code Suggestions](project/repository/code_suggestions.md)

+
+## Third-party AI features
+
+Third-party AI features require the [group-level third-party AI features setting](group/manage.md#group-third-party-ai-features-setting) to be enabled. Experiment third-party AI features also require the [Experiment features setting](group/manage.md#group-experiment-features-setting) to be enabled.

+### Explain Selected Code in the Web UI **(ULTIMATE SAAS)**
+
+> Introduced in GitLab 15.11 as an [Experiment](../policy/alpha-beta-support.md#experiment) on GitLab.com.
+
+This feature is an [Experiment](../policy/alpha-beta-support.md) on GitLab.com that is powered by OpenAI's GPT-3.
+
+GitLab can help you get up to speed faster if you:
+
+- Spend a lot of time trying to understand pieces of code that others have created, or
+- Struggle to understand code written in a language that you are not familiar with.
+
+By using a large language model, GitLab can explain the code in natural language.
+
+Prerequisites:
+
+- The project must be a public project on GitLab.com.
+- You must have the GitLab Ultimate subscription tier.
+- You must be a member of the project.
+
+To explain your code:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Merge requests**, then select your merge request.
+1. On the secondary menu, select **Changes**.
+1. Go to the file, and select the lines that you want to have explained.
+1. On the left side, select the question mark (**{question}**). You might have to scroll to the first line of your selection to view it. This sends the selected code, together with a prompt, to provide an explanation to the large language model.
+1. A drawer is displayed on the right side of the page. Wait a moment for the explanation to be generated.
+1. Provide feedback about how satisfied you are with the explanation, so we can improve the results.
+
+![How to use the Explain Code Experiment](img/explain_code_experiment.png)

+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/10366) in GitLab 16.0 as an [Experiment](../policy/alpha-beta-support.md#experiment).
+
+This feature is an [Experiment](../policy/alpha-beta-support.md) on GitLab.com that is powered by OpenAI's GPT-3. It requires the [group-level third-party AI features setting](group/manage.md#group-third-party-ai-features-setting) to be enabled.
+
+When in a merge request you can choose to have GitLab suggest tests for the file you are reviewing. This can help to determine if appropriate test coverage has been provided or help with writing tests to provide more coverage for your project. To generate a test suggestion:
+
+1. Select the menu icon on the header of a file.
+1. Select **Generate test with AI**.
+
+A sidebar opens where the test suggestion is generated. From there you can choose to copy that suggestion in to your editor as the start of your tests.
+
+Feedback on this experimental feature can be provided in [issue 408995](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/408995).

+## Data Usage
+
+GitLab AI features leverage generative AI to help increase velocity and aim to help make you more productive. Each feature operates independently of other features and is not required for other features to function.
+
+### Progressive enhancement
+
+These features are designed as a progressive enhancement to existing GitLab features across our DevSecOps platform. They are designed to fail gracefully and should not prevent the core functionality of the underlying feature. Please note each feature is subject to its expected functionality as defined by the relevant [feature support policy](../policy/alpha-beta-support.md).
+
+### Stability and performance
+
+These features are in a variety of [feature support levels](../policy/alpha-beta-support.md#beta). Due to the nature of these features, there may be high demand for usage which may cause degraded performance or unexpected downtime of the feature. We have built these features to gracefully degrade and have controls in place to allow us to mitigate abuse or misuse. GitLab may disable **beta and experimental** features for any or all customers at any time at our discretion.
+
+## Third party services
+
+### Data privacy
+
+Some AI features require the use of third-party AI services models and APIs from: Google AI and OpenAI. The processing of any personal data is in accordance with our [Privacy Statement](https://about.gitlab.com/privacy/). You may also visit the [Sub-Processors page](https://about.gitlab.com/privacy/subprocessors/#third-party-sub-processors) to see the list of our Sub-Processors that we use in order to provide these features.
+
+Group owners can control which top-level groups have access to third-party AI features by using the [group level third-party AI features setting](group/manage.md#group-third-party-ai-features-setting).
+
+### Model accuracy and quality
+
+Generative AI may produce unexpected results that may be:
+
+- Low-quality
+- Incoherent
+- Incomplete
+- Produce failed pipelines
+- Insecure code
+- Offensive or insensitive
+
+GitLab is actively iterating on all our AI-assisted capabilities to improve the quality of the generated content. We will continue improving the quality through prompt engineering, evaluating new AI/ML models to power these features, and through novel heuristics built into these features directly.

+Software leaders can use the deployment frequency metric to understand how often the team successfully deploys software to production, and how quickly the teams can respond to customers' requests or new market opportunities.
+High deployment frequency means you can get feedback sooner and iterate faster to deliver improvements and features.
-To retrieve metrics for deployment frequency, use the [GraphQL](../../api/graphql/reference/index.md) or the [REST](../../api/dora/metrics.md) APIs.
+### How deployment frequency is calculated
+
+In GitLab, Deployment frequency is measured by the average number of deployments per day to a given environment, based on the deployment's end time (its `finished_at` property).
+GitLab calculates the deployment frequency from the number of finished deployments on the given day.
+
+The calculation takes into account the production `environment tier` or the environments named `production/prod`. The environment must be part of the production deployment tier for its deployment information to appear on the graphs.
+
+### How to improve deployment frequency
+
+The first step is to benchmark the cadence of code releases between groups and projects. Next, you should consider:
+
+- Add more automated testing.
+- Add more automated code validation.
+- Break the changes down into smaller iterations.
## Lead time for changes
-DORA Lead time for changes measures the time to successfully deliver a commit into production.
-This metric reflects the efficiency of CI/CD pipelines.
+Lead time for changes is the amount of time it takes a code change to get into production.
+

-We measure **from** code committed **to** code successfully running in production, without adding the `coding_time` to the calculation.
+For software leaders, Lead time for changes reflects the efficiency of CI/CD pipelines and visualizes how quickly work is delivered to customers.
+Over time, the lead time for changes should decrease, while your team's performance should increase. Low lead time for changes means more efficient CI/CD pipelines.

GitLab measures cycle time from the earliest commit of a [linked issue's merge request](../project/issues/crosslinking_issues.md) to when that issue is closed. The cycle time approach underestimates the lead time because merge request creation is always later than commit time.

-## Access permissions for value stream analytics
-
-Access permissions for value stream analytics depend on the project type.
-
-| Project type | Permissions |
-|--------------|----------------------------------------|
-| Public | Anyone can access. |
-| Internal | Any authenticated user can access. |
-| Private | Any member Guest and above can access. |
-
-## How value stream analytics measures each stage
-
-Value stream analytics uses start and end events to measure the time that an issue or merge request
-spends in each stage.
-
-For example, a stage might start when a user adds a label to an issue, and ends when they add another label.
-Items aren't included in the stage time calculation if they have not reached the end event.
-
-| Stage | Measurement method |
-|---------|----------------------|
-| Issue | The median time between creating an issue and taking action to solve it, by either labeling it or adding it to a milestone. The label is tracked only if it already includes an [issue board list](../project/issue_board.md) that has been created for the label. |
-| Plan | The median time between the action you took for the previous stage, and when you push the first commit to the branch. The first branch commit triggers the transition from **Plan** to **Code**, and at least one of the commits in the branch must include the related issue number (such as `#42`). If the issue number is not included in a commit, that data is not included in the measurement time of the stage. |
-| Code | The median time between pushing a first commit (previous stage) and creating a merge request. The process is tracked with the [issue closing pattern](../project/issues/managing_issues.md#closing-issues-automatically) in the description of the merge request. For example, if the issue is closed with `Closes #xxx`, `xxx` is the issue number for the merge request. If there is no closing pattern, the start time is set to the create time of the first commit. |
-| Test | The time from start to finish for all pipelines. Measures the median time to run the entire pipeline for that project. Related to the time required by GitLab CI/CD to run every job for the commits pushed to that merge request, as defined in the previous stage. |
-| Review | The median time taken to review merge requests with a closing issue pattern, from creation to merge. |
-| Staging | The median time between merging the merge request (with a closing issue pattern) to the first deployment to a [production environment](../../ci/environments/index.md#deployment-tier-of-environments). Data is not collected without a production environment. |
-
-## Example workflow
-
-This example shows a workflow through all seven stages in one day. In this
-example, milestones have been created and CI for testing and setting environments is configured.
-
-- 09:00: Create issue. **Issue** stage starts.
-- 11:00: Add issue to a milestone, start work on the issue, and create a branch locally.
-**Issue** stage stops and **Plan** stage starts.
-- 12:00: Make the first commit.
-- 12:30: Make the second commit to the branch that mentions the issue number. **Plan** stage stops and **Code** stage starts.
-- 14:00: Push branch and create a merge request that contains the [issue closing pattern](../project/issues/managing_issues.md#closing-issues-automatically). **Code** stage stops and **Test** and **Review** stages start.
-- The CI takes 5 minutes to run scripts defined in [`.gitlab-ci.yml`](../../ci/yaml/index.md).
-**Test** stage stops.
-- Review merge request.
-- 19:00: Merge the merge request. **Review** stage stops and **Staging** stage starts.
-- 19:30: Deployment to the `production` environment starts and finishes. **Staging** stops.
-
-Value stream analytics records the following times for each stage:
-
-- **Issue**: 09:00 to 11:00: 2 hrs
-- **Plan**: 11:00 to 12:00: 1 hr
-- **Code**: 12:00 to 14:00: 2 hrs
-- **Test**: 5 minutes
-- **Review**: 14:00 to 19:00: 5 hrs
-- **Staging**: 19:00 to 19:30: 30 minutes
-
-Keep in mind the following observations related to this example:
-
-- Although this example specifies the issue number in a later commit, the process
-still collects analytics data for the issue.
-- The time required in the **Test** stage is included in the **Review** process,
-as every merge request should be tested.
-- This example illustrates only one cycle of multiple stages. The value
-stream analytics dashboard shows the calculated median elapsed time for these issues.
-- Value stream analytics identifies production environments based on the
-[deployment tier of environments](../../ci/environments/index.md#deployment-tier-of-environments).
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### 100% CPU utilization by Sidekiq `cronjob:analytics_cycle_analytics`
-
-It is possible that Value stream analytics background jobs
-strongly impact performance by monopolizing CPU resources.
-
-To recover from this situation:
-
-1. Disable the feature for all projects in [the Rails console](../../administration/operations/rails_console.md),
- and remove existing jobs:
-
- ```ruby
- Project.find_each do |p|
- p.analytics_access_level='disabled';
- p.save!
- end
-
- Analytics::CycleAnalytics::GroupStage.delete_all
- Analytics::CycleAnalytics::Aggregation.delete_all
- ```
-
-1. Configure a [Sidekiq routing](../../administration/sidekiq/processing_specific_job_classes.md)
- with for example a single `feature_category=value_stream_management`
- and multiple `feature_category!=value_stream_management` entries.
- Find other relevant queue metadata in the
- [Enterprise Edition list](../../administration/sidekiq/processing_specific_job_classes.md#list-of-available-job-classes).
-1. Enable value stream analytics for one project after another.
- You might need to tweak the Sidekiq routing further according to your performance requirements.

+**Solution**
+
+Authentication credentials are provided using the methods outlined in the [Access an image from a private Container Registry](../../../ci/docker/using_docker_images.md#access-an-image-from-a-private-container-registry) documentation section. The method used is dictated by your container registry provider and its configuration. If your using a container registry provided by a third party, such as a cloud provider (Azure, Google Could (GCP), AWS and so on), check the providers documentation for information on how to authenticate to their container registries.
+
+The following example uses the [statically defined credentials](../../../ci/docker/using_docker_images.md#use-statically-defined-credentials) authentication method. In this example the container registry is `registry.example.com` and image is `my-target-app:latest`.
+
+1. Read how to [Determine your `DOCKER_AUTH_CONFIG` data](../../../ci/docker/using_docker_images.md#determine-your-docker_auth_config-data) to understand how to compute the variable value for `DOCKER_AUTH_CONFIG`. The configuration variable `DOCKER_AUTH_CONFIG` contains the Docker JSON configuration to provide the appropriate authentication information. For example, to access private container registry: `registry.example.com` with the credentials `aGVsbG8gd29ybGQK`, the Docker JSON looks like:
+
+ ```json
+ {
+ "auths": {
+ "registry.example.com": {
+ "auth": "aGVsbG8gd29ybGQK"
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ ```
+
+1. Add the `DOCKER_AUTH_CONFIG` as a CI/CD variable. Instead of adding the configuration variable directly in your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file you should create a project [CI/CD variable](../../../ci/variables/index.md#for-a-project).
+1. Rerun your job, and the statically-defined credentials are now used to sign in to the private container registry `registry.example.com`, and let you pull the image `my-target-app:latest`. If succeeded the job console shows an output like:

+# API Discovery **(ULTIMATE)**
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/9302) in GitLab 15.9. The API Discovery feature is in [Beta](../../../../policy/alpha-beta-support.md).
+
+API Discovery analyzes your application and produces an OpenAPI document describing the web APIs it exposes. This schema document can then be used by [DAST API](../../dast_api/index.md) or [API Fuzzing](../../api_fuzzing/index.md) to perform security scans of the web API.
+
+## Supported frameworks
+
+- [Java Spring-Boot](#java-spring-boot)
+
+## When does API Discovery run?
+
+API Discovery runs as a standalone job in your pipeline. The resulting OpenAPI document is captured as a job artifact so it can be used by other jobs in later stages.
+
+API Discovery runs in the `test` stage by default. The `test` stage was chosen as it typically executes before the stages used by other API Security features such as DAST API and API Fuzzing.
+
+## Example API Discovery configurations
+
+The following projects demonstrate API Discovery:
+
+- [Example Java Spring Boot v2 Pet Store](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/demos/api-discovery/java-spring-boot-v2-petstore)
+
+## Java Spring-Boot
+
+[Spring Boot](https://spring.io/projects/spring-boot) is a popular framework for creating stand-alone, production-grade Spring-based applications.
+
+### Supported Applications
+
+- Spring Boot: v2.X (>= 2.1)
+- Java: 11, 17 (LTS versions)
+- Executable JARs
+
+API Discovery supports Spring Boot major version 2, minor versions 1 and later. Versions 2.0.X are not supported due to known bugs which affect API Discovery and were fixed in 2.1.
+
+Major version 3 is planned to be supported in the future. Support for major version 1 is not planned.
+
+API Discovery is tested with and officially supports LTS versions of the Java runtime. Other versions may work also, and bug reports from non-LTS versions are welcome.
+
+Only applications that are built as Spring Boot [executable JARs](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/executable-jar.html#appendix.executable-jar.nested-jars.jar-structure) are supported.
+
+### Configure as pipeline job
+
+The easiest way to run API Discovery is through a pipeline job based on our CI template.
+When running in this method, you provide a container image that has the required dependencies installed (such as an appropriate Java runtime). See [Image Requirements](#image-requirements) for more information.
+
+1. A container image that meets the [image requirements](#image-requirements) is uploaded to a container registry. If the container registry requires authentication see [this help section](/ee/ci/docker/using_docker_images.md#access-an-image-from-a-private-container-registry).
+1. In a job in the `build` stage, build your application and configure the resulting Spring Boot executable JAR as a job artifact.
+1. Include the API Discovery template in your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file.
+
+ ```yaml
+ include:
+ - template: Security/API-Discovery.gitlab-ci.yml
+ ```
+
+ Only a single `include` statement is allowed per `.gitlab-ci.yml` file. If you are including other files, combine them into a single `include` statement.
+
+ ```yaml
+ include:
+ - template: Security/API-Discovery.gitlab-ci.yml
+ - template: Security/DAST-API.gitlab-ci.yml
+ ```
+
+1. Create a new job that extends from `.api_discovery_java_spring_boot`. The default stage is `test` which can be optionally changed to any value.
+
+ ```yaml
+ api_discovery:
+ extends: .api_discovery_java_spring_boot
+ ```
+
+1. Configure the `image` for the job.
+
+ ```yaml
+ api_discovery:
+ extends: .api_discovery_java_spring_boot
+ image: openjdk:11-jre-slim
+ ```
+
+1. Provide the Java class path needed by your application. This includes your compatible build
+ artifact from step 2, along with any additional dependencies. For this example, the build artifact
+ is `build/libs/spring-boot-app-0.0.0.jar` and contains all needed dependencies. The variable
+ `API_DISCOVERY_JAVA_CLASSPATH` is used to provide the class path.
+
+ ```yaml
+ api_discovery:
+ extends: .api_discovery_java_spring_boot
+ image: openjdk:11-jre-slim
+ variables:
+ API_DISCOVERY_JAVA_CLASSPATH: build/libs/spring-boot-app-0.0.0.jar
+ ```
+
+1. Optional. If the image provided is missing a dependency needed by API Discovery, it can be added
+ using a `before_script`. In this example, the `openjdk:11-jre-slim` container doesn't include
+ `curl` which is required by API Discovery. The dependency can be installed using the Debian
+ package manager `apt`:
+
+ ```yaml
+ api_discovery:
+ extends: .api_discovery_java_spring_boot
+ image: openjdk:11-jre-slim
+ variables:
+ API_DISCOVERY_JAVA_CLASSPATH: build/libs/spring-boot-app-0.0.0.jar
+ before_script:
+ - apt-get update && apt-get install -y curl
+ ```
+
+1. Optional. If the image provided doesn't automatically set the `JAVA_HOME` environment variable,
+ or include `java` in the path, the `API_DISCOVERY_JAVA_HOME` variable can be used.
+
+ ```yaml
+ api_discovery:
+ extends: .api_discovery_java_spring_boot
+ image: openjdk:11-jre-slim
+ variables:
+ API_DISCOVERY_JAVA_CLASSPATH: build/libs/spring-boot-app-0.0.0.jar
+ API_DISCOVERY_JAVA_HOME: /opt/java
+ ```
+
+1. Optional. If the package registry at `API_DISCOVERY_PACKAGES` is not public, provide a token that
+ has read access to the GitLab API and registry using the `API_DISCOVERY_PACKAGE_TOKEN` variable.
+ This is not required if you are using `gitlab.com` and have not customized the `API_DISCOVERY_PACKAGES`
+ variable. The following example uses a
+ [custom CI/CD variable](../../../../ci/variables/index.md#define-a-cicd-variable-in-the-ui) named
+ `GITLAB_READ_TOKEN` to store the token.
+
+ ```yaml
+ api_discovery:
+ extends: .api_discovery_java_spring_boot
+ image: openjdk:8-jre-alpine
+ variables:
+ API_DISCOVERY_JAVA_CLASSPATH: build/libs/spring-boot-app-0.0.0.jar
+ API_DISCOVERY_PACKAGE_TOKEN: $GITLAB_READ_TOKEN
+ ```
+
+After the API Discovery job has successfully run, the OpenAPI document is available as a job artifact called `gl-api-discovery-openapi.json`.
+
+#### Image requirements
+
+- Linux container image.
+- Java versions 11 or 17 are officially supported, but other versions are likely compatible as well.
+- The `curl` command.
+- A shell at `/bin/sh` (like `busybox`, `sh`, or `bash`).
+
+### Available CI/CD variables
+
+| CI/CD variable | Description |
+|---------------------------------------------|--------------------|
+| `API_DISCOVERY_DISABLED` | Disables the API Discovery job when using template job rules. |
+| `API_DISCOVERY_DISABLED_FOR_DEFAULT_BRANCH` | Disables the API Discovery job for default branch pipelines when using template job rules. |
+| `API_DISCOVERY_JAVA_CLASSPATH` | Java class-path that includes target Spring Boot application. (`build/libs/sample-0.0.0.jar`) |
+| `API_DISCOVERY_JAVA_HOME` | If provided is used to set `JAVA_HOME`. |
+| `API_DISCOVERY_PACKAGES` | GitLab Project Package API Prefix (defaults to `$CI_API_V4_URL/projects/42503323/packages`). |
+| `API_DISCOVERY_PACKAGE_TOKEN` | GitLab token for calling the GitLab package API. Only needed when `API_DISCOVERY_PACKAGES` is set to a non-public project. |

+# API Security **(ULTIMATE)**
+
+API Security refers to the measures taken to secure and protect web Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) from unauthorized access, misuse, and attacks.
+APIs are a crucial component of modern application development as they allow applications to interact with each other and exchange data.
+However, this also makes them attractive to attackers and vulnerable to security threats if not properly secured.
+In this section, we discuss GitLab features that can be used to ensure the security of web APIs in your application.
+Some of the features discussed are specific to web APIs and others are more general solutions that are also used with web API applications.
+
+- [SAST](../sast) identified vulnerabilities by analyzing the application's codebase.
+- [Dependency Scanning](../dependency_scanning) reviews a project 3rd party dependencies for known vulnerabilities (for example CVEs).
+- [Container Scanning](../container_scanning) analyzes container images to identify known OS package vulnerabilities and installed language dependencies.
+- [API Discovery](api_discovery) examines an application containing a REST API and intuits an OpenAPI specification for that API. OpenAPI specification documents are used by other GitLab security tools.
+- [DAST API](../dast_api) performs dynamic analysis security testing of web APIs. It can identify various security vulnerabilities in your application, including the OWASP Top 10.
+- [API Fuzzing](../api_fuzzing) performs fuzz testing of a web API. Fuzz testing looks for issues in an application that are not previously known and don't map to classic vulnerability types such as SQL Injection.

+# Breach and Attack Simulation **(ULTIMATE)**
+
+> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/402784) in GitLab 15.11 as an Incubating feature.
+> - [Included](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/119981) in the `Security/BAS.latest.gitlab-ci.yml` in GitLab 16.0.
+
+DISCLAIMER:
+Breach and Attack Simulation is a set of incubating features being developed by the Incubation Engineering Department and is subject to significant changes over time.
+
+Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) uses additional security testing techniques to assess the risk of detected vulnerabilities and prioritize the remediation of exploitable vulnerabilities.
+
+For feedback, bug reports, and feature requests, see the [feedback issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/404809).
+
+WARNING:
+Only run BAS scans against test servers. Testing attacker behavior can lead to modification or loss of data.
+
+## Extend Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)
+
+You can simulate attacks with [DAST](../dast/index.md) to detect vulnerabilities.
+By default, DAST active checks match an expected response, or determine by response
+time whether a vulnerability was exploited.
+
+To enable BAS extended DAST scanning for your application, use the `dast_with_bas` job defined
+in the GitLab BAS CI/CD template file. Updates to the template are provided with GitLab
+upgrades, allowing you to benefit from any improvements and additions.
+
+1. Include the appropriate CI/CD template:
+
+ - [`BAS.latest.gitlab-ci.yml`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Security/BAS.latest.gitlab-ci.yml):
+ Latest version of the BAS template. ([Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/119981)
+ in GitLab 16.0).
+
+ WARNING:
+ The latest version of the template may include breaking changes. Use the
+ stable template unless you need a feature provided only in the latest template.
+
+ For more information about template versioning, see the [CI/CD documentation](../../../development/cicd/templates.md#latest-version).
+
+1. Choose one of the following options for running BAS extended DAST scans:
+
+ - [Enable a separate BAS extended DAST job](#enable-a-separate-bas-extended-dast-job)
+
+ - You're not using the latest DAST template yet.
+ - Continue using a stable version of the DAST security analyzer image for DAST scans.
+ - Create a duplicate `dast_with_bas` job which extends your existing DAST job configuration.
+
+ - [Extend an existing DAST job](#extend-an-existing-dast-job)
+ - You're already using the latest DAST template rather than the stable template.
+ - Extend your existing DAST job to include the latest DAST security analyzer image tag from the Breach and Attack Simulation SEG.
+
+1. Setup a callback server to [enable callback attacks](#enable-callback-attacks).
+
+### Enable a separate BAS extended DAST job
+
+To maintain a separate DAST job while testing the BAS extended DAST image:
+
+1. Add a `dast` stage to your GitLab CI/CD stages configuration.
+
+ ```yaml
+ stages:
+ - build
+ - test
+ - deploy
+ - dast
+ ```
+
+1. Set the `DAST_WEBSITE` [CI/CD variable](../../../ci/yaml/index.md#variables).
+
+ ```yaml
+ dast_with_bas:
+ variables:
+ DAST_WEBSITE: http://yourapp
+ ```
+
+### Extend an existing DAST job
+
+To enable Breach and Attack Simulation features inside of an existing DAST job:
+
+1. Follow the steps in [Create a DAST CI/CD job](../dast/browser_based.md#create-a-dast-cicd-job).
+
+1. Extend DAST to using the [extends](../../../ci/yaml/yaml_optimization.md#use-extends-to-reuse-configuration-sections) keyword to your DAST job's configuration:
+
+ ```yaml
+ dast:
+ extends: .dast_with_bas
+ ```
+
+1. Disable the `dast+job` job included in the BAS template by setting `DAST_BAS_DISABLED`:
+
+ ```yaml
+ variables:
+ DAST_BAS_DISABLED: "true"
+ ```
+
+### Enable callback attacks

+
+Perform Out-of-Band Application Security Testing (OAST) for certain [active checks](../dast/checks/index.md#active-checks).
+
+1. Extend the `.dast_with_bas_using_services` job configuration using the [extends](../../../ci/yaml/yaml_optimization.md#use-extends-to-reuse-configuration-sections) keyword:
+
+ ```yaml
+ dast:
+ extends: .dast_with_bas_using_services
+
+ dast_with_bas:
+ extends:
+ # NOTE: extends overwrites rather than merges so dast must be included in this list.
+ - dast
+ - .dast_with_bas_using_services
+ ```
+
+1. Use a [!reference tag](../../../ci/yaml/yaml_optimization.md#reference-tags) to pull in the default `callback` service container in your `services`.
+
+ ```yaml
+ services:
+ # NOTE: services overwrites rather than merges so it must be referenced to merge.
+ - !reference [.dast_with_bas_using_services, services]
+ - name: $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE
+ alias: yourapp
+ ```
+
+You can also manually enable callback attacks by making sure to:
+
+1. Set the `DAST_FF_ENABLE_BAS` [CI/CD variable](../dast/browser_based.md#available-cicd-variables) to `true`.
+1. Enable both the application being tested and callback service container using [services](../../../ci/services/index.md).
+1. Enable container-to-container networking [making the callback service accessible](../../../ci/services/index.md#connecting-services) in the job.
+1. Set `DAST_BROWSER_CALLBACK` to include `Address:$YOUR_CALLBACK_URL` key/value pair where the callback service is accessible to the Runner/DAST container.

- Limit the number of actions executed by the browser with the [variable](#available-cicd-variables) `DAST_BROWSER_MAX_ACTIONS`. The default is `10,000`.
- Limit the page depth that the browser-based crawler checks coverage on with the [variable](#available-cicd-variables) `DAST_BROWSER_MAX_DEPTH`. The crawler uses a breadth-first search strategy, so pages with smaller depth are crawled first. The default is `10`.
-- Vertically scale the runner and use a higher number of browsers with [variable](#available-cicd-variables) `DAST_BROWSER_NUMBER_OF_BROWSERS`. The default is `3`.

+- Build the crawl graph with the [variable](#available-cicd-variables) `DAST_BROWSER_CRAWL_GRAPH` to see what pages are being crawled.

+- Prevent elements being selected using the [variable](#available-cicd-variables) `DAST_BROWSER_EXCLUDED_ELEMENTS`. Use with caution, as defining this variable causes an extra lookup for each page crawled.

+```
+
+**Error message**
+
+- In GitLab 15.9 and earlier, `ERROR: Job failed: failed to pull image` followed by `Error response from daemon: Get IMAGE: unauthorized`.
+
+**Solution**
+
+Authentication credentials are provided using the methods outlined in the [Access an image from a private Container Registry](../../../ci/docker/using_docker_images.md#access-an-image-from-a-private-container-registry) documentation section. The method used is dictated by your container registry provider and its configuration. If your using a container registry provided by a 3rd party, such as a cloud provider (Azure, Google Could (GCP), AWS and so on), check the providers documentation for information on how to authenticate to their container registries.
+
+The following example uses the [statically defined credentials](../../../ci/docker/using_docker_images.md#use-statically-defined-credentials) authentication method. In this example the container registry is `registry.example.com` and image is `my-target-app:latest`.
+
+1. Read how to [Determine your `DOCKER_AUTH_CONFIG` data](../../../ci/docker/using_docker_images.md#determine-your-docker_auth_config-data) to understand how to compute the variable value for `DOCKER_AUTH_CONFIG`. The configuration variable `DOCKER_AUTH_CONFIG` contains the Docker JSON configuration to provide the appropriate authentication information. For example, to access private container registry: `registry.example.com` with the credentials `aGVsbG8gd29ybGQK`, the Docker JSON looks like:
+
+ ```json
+ {
+ "auths": {
+ "registry.example.com": {
+ "auth": "aGVsbG8gd29ybGQK"
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ ```
+
+1. Add the `DOCKER_AUTH_CONFIG` as a CI/CD variable. Instead of adding the configuration variable directly in your `.gitlab-ci.yml`file you should create a project [CI/CD variable](../../../ci/variables/index.md#for-a-project).
+1. Rerun your job, and the statically-defined credentials are now used to sign in to the private container registry `registry.example.com`, and let you pull the image `my-target-app:latest`. If succeeded the job console shows an output like:

+### Troubleshooting common issues configuring security policies
+
+- Confirm that projects contain a `.gitlab-ci.yml` file. This file is required for scan execution policies.
+- Confirm that scanners are properly configured and producing results for the latest branch. Security Policies are designed to require approval when there are no results (no security report), as this ensures that no vulnerabilities are introduced. We cannot know if there are any vulnerabilities unless the scans enforced by the policy complete successfully and are evaluated.
+- When running scan execution policies based on a SAST action, ensure target repositories contain proper code files. SAST runs different analyzers [based on the types of files in the repo](../sast/index.md#supported-languages-and-frameworks), and if no supported files are found it will not run any jobs. See the [SAST CI template](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Jobs/SAST.gitlab-ci.yml) for more details.
+- Check for any branch configuration conflicts. If your policy is configured to enforce rules on `main` but some projects within the scope are using `master` as their default branch, the policy is not applied for the latter. Support for specifying the `default` branch in your policies is proposed in [epic 9468](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/9468).
+- Scan result policies created at the group or sub-group level can take some time to apply to all the merge requests in the group.
+- Scheduled scan execution policies run with a minimum 15 minute cadence. Learn more [about the schedule rule type](../policies/scan-execution-policies.md#schedule-rule-type).
+- When scheduling pipelines, keep in mind that CRON scheduling is based on UTC on GitLab SaaS and is based on your server time for self managed instances. When testing new policies, it may appear pipelines are not running properly when in fact they are scheduled in your server's timezone.
+- When enforcing scan execution policies, the target project's pipeline is triggered by the user who last updated the security policy project's `policy.yml` file. The user must have permission to trigger the pipeline in the project for the policy to be enforced, and the pipeline to run. Work to address this is being tracked in [issue 394958](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/394958).
+- You should not link a security policy project to a development project and to the group or sub-group the development project belongs to at the same time. Linking this way will result in approval rules from the Scan Result Policy not being applied to merge requests in the development project.

+# Automatic response to leaked secrets **(ULTIMATE)**
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/4639) in GitLab 13.6.
+
+GitLab Secret Detection automatically responds when it finds certain types of leaked secrets.
+Automatic responses can:
+
+- Automatically revoke the secret.
+- Notify the partner that issued the secret. The partner can then revoke the secret, notify its owner, or otherwise protect against abuse.
+
+## Supported secret types and actions
+
+GitLab supports automatic response for the following types of secrets:
+
+| Secret type | Action taken | Supported on GitLab.com | Supported in self-managed |
+| ----- | --- | --- | --- |
+| GitLab [Personal access tokens](../../profile/personal_access_tokens.md) | Immediately revoke token, send email to owner | ✅ | ✅ [15.9 and later](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/371658) |
+| Amazon Web Services (AWS) [IAM access keys](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_access-keys.html) | Notify AWS | ✅ | ⚙ |
+
+**Component legend**
+
+- ✅ - Available by default
+- ⚙ - Requires manual integration using a [Token Revocation API](../../../development/sec/token_revocation_api.md)
+
+## Feature availability
+
+> [Enabled for non-default branches](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/299212) in GitLab 15.11.
+
+Credentials are only post-processed when Secret Detection finds them:
+
+- In public projects, because publicly exposed credentials pose an increased threat. Expansion to private projects is considered in [issue 391379](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/391379).
+- In projects with GitLab Ultimate, for technical reasons. Expansion to all tiers is tracked in [issue 391763](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/391763).
+
+## High-level architecture
+
+This diagram describes how a post-processing hook revokes a secret in the GitLab application:
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+ autonumber
+ GitLab Rails-->+GitLab Rails: gl-secret-detection-report.json
+ GitLab Rails->>+GitLab Sidekiq: StoreScansService
+ GitLab Sidekiq-->+GitLab Sidekiq: ScanSecurityReportSecretsWorker

+ GitLab Token Revocation API-->>+Partner API: revoke revocable keys
+ Partner API-->>+GitLab Token Revocation API: ACCEPTED
+```
+
+1. A pipeline with a Secret Detection job completes, producing a scan report (**1**).
+1. The report is processed (**2**) by a service class, which schedules an asynchronous worker if token revocation is possible.
+1. The asynchronous worker (**3**) communicates with an externally deployed HTTP service
+ (**4** and **5**) to determine which kinds of secrets can be automatically revoked.
+1. The worker sends (**6** and **7**) the list of detected secrets which the GitLab Token Revocation API is able to
+ revoke.
+1. The GitLab Token Revocation API sends (**8** and **9**) each revocable token to their respective vendor's [Partner API](#implement-a-partner-api). See the [GitLab Token Revocation API](../../../development/sec/token_revocation_api.md)
+ documentation for more information.
+
+## Partner program for leaked-credential notifications
+
+GitLab notifies partners when credentials they issue are leaked in public repositories on GitLab.com.
+If you operate a cloud or SaaS product and you're interested in receiving these notifications, learn more in [epic 4944](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/4944).
+Partners must [implement a Partner API](#implement-a-partner-api), which is called by the GitLab Token Revocation API.
+
+### Implement a Partner API
+
+A Partner API integrates with the GitLab Token Revocation API to receive and respond to leaked token revocation
+requests. The service should be a publicly accessible HTTP API that is idempotent and rate-limited.
+
+Requests to your service can include one or more leaked tokens, and a header with the signature of the request
+body. We strongly recommend that you verify incoming requests using this signature, to prove it's a genuine
+request from GitLab. The diagram below details the necessary steps to receive, verify, and revoke leaked tokens:
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+ autonumber
+ GitLab Token Revocation API-->>+Partner API: Send new leaked credentials
+ Partner API-->>+GitLab Public Keys endpoint: Get active public keys
+ GitLab Public Keys endpoint-->>+Partner API: One or more public keys
+ Partner API-->>+Partner API: Verify request is signed by GitLab
+ Partner API-->>+Partner API: Respond to leaks
+ Partner API-->>+GitLab Token Revocation API: HTTP status
+```
+
+1. The GitLab Token Revocation API sends (**1**) a [revocation request](#revocation-request) to the Partner API. The request
+ includes headers containing a public key identifier and signature of the request body.
+1. The Partner API requests (**2**) a list of [public keys](#public-keys-endpoint) from GitLab. The response (**3**)
+ may include multiple public keys in the event of key rotation and should be filtered with the identifier in the request header.
+1. The Partner API [verifies the signature](#verifying-the-request) against the actual request body, using the public key (**4**).
+1. The Partner API processes the leaked tokens, which may involve automatic revocation (**5**).
+1. The Partner API responds to the GitLab Token Revocation API (**6**) with the appropriate HTTP status code:
+ - A successful response code (HTTP 200 through 299) acknowledges that the partner has received and processed the request.
+ - An error code (HTTP 400 or higher) causes the GitLab Token Revocation API to retry the request.
+
+#### Revocation request
+
+This JSON schema document describes the body of the revocation request:
+
+```json
+{
+ "type": "array",
+ "items": {
+ "description": "A leaked token",
+ "type": "object",
+ "properties": {
+ "type": {
+ "description": "The type of token. This is vendor-specific and can be customised to suit your revocation service",
+ "type": "string",
+ "examples": [
+ "my_api_token"
+ ]
+ },
+ "token": {
+ "description": "The substring that was matched by the Secret Detection analyser. In most cases, this is the entire token itself",
+ "type": "string",
+ "examples": [
+ "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
+ ]
+ },
+ "url": {
+ "description": "The URL to the raw source file hosted on GitLab where the leaked token was detected",
+ "type": "string",
+ "examples": [
+ "https://gitlab.example.com/some-repo/-/raw/abcdefghijklmnop/compromisedfile1.java"
+ ]
+ }
+ }
+ }
+}
+```
+
+Example:
+
+```json
+[{"type": "my_api_token", "token": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", "url": "https://example.com/some-repo/-/raw/abcdefghijklmnop/compromisedfile1.java"}]
+```
+
+In this example, Secret Detection has determined that an instance of `my_api_token` has been leaked. The
+value of the token is provided to you, in addition to a publicly accessible URL to the raw content of the
+file containing the leaked token.
+
+The request includes two special headers:
+
+| Header | Type | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|
+| `Gitlab-Public-Key-Identifier` | string | A unique identifier for the key pair used to sign this request. Primarily used to aid in key rotation. |
+| `Gitlab-Public-Key-Signature` | string | A base64-encoded signature of the request body. |
+
+You can use these headers along with the GitLab Public Keys endpoint to verify that the revocation request was genuine.
+
+#### Public Keys endpoint
+
+GitLab maintains a publicly-accessible endpoint for retrieving public keys used to verify revocation
+requests. The endpoint can be provided on request.
+
+This JSON schema document describes the response body of the public keys endpoint:
+
+```json
+{
+ "type": "object",
+ "properties": {
+ "public_keys": {
+ "description": "An array of public keys managed by GitLab used to sign token revocation requests.",
+ "type": "array",
+ "items": {
+ "type": "object",
+ "properties": {
+ "key_identifier": {
+ "description": "A unique identifier for the keypair. Match this against the value of the Gitlab-Public-Key-Identifier header",
+ "type": "string"
+ },
+ "key": {
+ "description": "The value of the public key",
+ "type": "string"
+ },
+ "is_current": {
+ "description": "Whether the key is currently active and signing new requests",
+ "type": "boolean"
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ }
+}
+```
+
+Example:
+
+```json
+{
+ "public_keys": [
+ {
+ "key_identifier": "6917d7584f0fa65c8c33df5ab20f54dfb9a6e6ae",
+ "key": "-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----\nMFkwEwYHKoZIzj0CAQYIKoZIzj0DAQcDQgAEN05/VjsBwWTUGYMpijqC5pDtoLEf\nuWz2CVZAZd5zfa/NAlSFgWRDdNRpazTARndB2+dHDtcHIVfzyVPNr2aznw==\n-----END PUBLIC KEY-----\n",
+ "is_current": true
+ }
+ ]
+}
+```
+
+#### Verifying the request
+
+You can check whether a revocation request is genuine by verifying the `Gitlab-Public-Key-Signature` header
+against the request body, using the corresponding public key taken from the API response above. We use
+[ECDSA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_Curve_Digital_Signature_Algorithm) with SHA256 hashing to
+produce the signature, which is then base64-encoded into the header value.
+
+The Python script below demonstrates how the signature can be verified. It uses the popular
+[pyca/cryptography](https://cryptography.io/en/latest/) module for cryptographic operations:
+
+```python
+import hashlib
+import base64
+from cryptography.hazmat.primitives import hashes
+from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.serialization import load_pem_public_key
+from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric import ec
+
+public_key = str.encode("") # obtained from the public keys endpoint
+signature_header = "" # obtained from the `Gitlab-Public-Key-Signature` header
+request_body = str.encode(r'') # obtained from the revocation request body
+
+pk = load_pem_public_key(public_key)
+decoded_signature = base64.b64decode(signature_header)
+
+pk.verify(decoded_signature, request_body, ec.ECDSA(hashes.SHA256())) # throws if unsuccessful
+
+print("Signature verified!")
+```
+
+The main steps are:
+
+1. Loading the public key into a format appropriate for the crypto library you're using.
+1. Base64-decoding the `Gitlab-Public-Key-Signature` header value.
+1. Verifying the body against the decoded signature, specifying ECDSA with SHA256 hashing.

-# Secret Detection post-processing and revocation **(ULTIMATE SAAS)**
+This document was moved to [another location](automatic_response.md).
-> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/4639) in GitLab 13.6.
-> - [Disabled by default for GitLab personal access tokens](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/371658) in GitLab 15.6 [with a flag](../../../administration/feature_flags.md) named `gitlab_pat_auto_revocation`. Available to GitLab.com only.
-> - [Enabled by default for GitLab personal access tokens](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/371658) in GitLab 15.9
-
-GitLab.com and self-managed supports running post-processing hooks after detecting a secret. These
-hooks can perform actions, like notifying the vendor that issued the secret.
-The vendor can then confirm the credentials and take remediation actions, like:
-
-- Revoking a secret.
-- Reissuing a secret.
-- Notifying the creator of the secret.
-
-GitLab supports post-processing for the following vendors and secrets:
-
-| Vendor | Secret | GitLab.com | Self-managed |
-| ----- | --- | --- | --- |
-| GitLab | [Personal access tokens](../../profile/personal_access_tokens.md) | ✅ | ✅ 15.9 and later |
-| Amazon Web Services (AWS) | [IAM access keys](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_access-keys.html) | ✅ | ⚙ |
-
-**Component legend**
-
-- ✅ - Available by default
-- ⚙ - Requires manual integration using a [Token Revocation API](../../../development/sec/token_revocation_api.md)
-
-## Feature availability
-
-Credentials are only post-processed when Secret Detection finds them:
-
-- In public projects, because publicly exposed credentials pose an increased threat. Expansion to private projects is considered in [issue 391379](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/391379).
-- On the project [default branch](../../project/repository/branches/default.md), for technical reasons. Expansion to all branches is tracked in [issue 299212](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/299212).
-- In projects with GitLab Ultimate, for technical reasons. Expansion to all tiers is tracked in [issue 391763](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/391763).
-
-## High-level architecture
-
-This diagram describes how a post-processing hook revokes a secret within the GitLab application:
-
-```mermaid
-sequenceDiagram
- autonumber
- GitLab Rails->>+Sidekiq: gl-secret-detection-report.json
- Sidekiq-->+Sidekiq: StoreSecurityReportsWorker
- Sidekiq-->+Token Revocation API: GET revocable keys types

- Token Revocation API-->>+Receiver Service: revoke revocable keys
- Receiver Service-->>+Token Revocation API: ACCEPTED
-```
-
-1. A pipeline with a Secret Detection job completes on the project's default branch, producing a scan
- report (**1**).
-1. The report is processed (**2**) by an asynchronous worker, which communicates with an externally
- deployed HTTP service (**3** and **4**) to determine which kinds of secrets can be automatically
- revoked.
-1. The worker sends (**5** and **6**) the list of detected secrets which the Token Revocation API is able to
- revoke.
-1. The Token Revocation API sends (**7** and **8**) each revocable token to their respective vendor's [receiver service](#integrate-your-cloud-provider-service-with-gitlabcom).
-
-See the [Token Revocation API](../../../development/sec/token_revocation_api.md) documentation for more
-information.
-
-## Integrate your cloud provider service with GitLab.com
-
-Third-party cloud and SaaS vendors interested in automated token revocation can
-[express integration interest by filling out this form](https://forms.gle/wWpvrtLRK21Q2WJL9).
-Vendors must [implement a revocation receiver service](#implement-a-revocation-receiver-service)
-which will be called by the Token Revocation API.
-
-### Implement a revocation receiver service
-
-A revocation receiver service integrates with a GitLab instance's Token Revocation API to receive and respond
-to leaked token revocation requests. The service should be a publicly accessible HTTP API that is
-idempotent and rate-limited. Requests to your service from the Token Revocation API will follow the example
-below:
-
-```plaintext
-POST / HTTP/2
-Accept: */*
-Content-Type: application/json
-X-Gitlab-Token: MYSECRETTOKEN
-
-[
- {"type": "my_api_token", "token":"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX","url": "https://example.com/some-repo/~/raw/abcdefghijklmnop/compromisedfile1.java"}
-]
-```
-
-In this example, Secret Detection has determined that an instance of `my_api_token` has been leaked. The
-value of the token is provided to you, in addition to a publicly accessible URL to the raw content of the
-file containing the leaked token.

+info: An example of how to structure a repository for GitOps deployments
+---
+
+# Example GitOps repository structure **(FREE)**
+
+This page describes an example structure for a project that builds and deploys an application
+to a Kubernetes cluster with [GitOps](https://about.gitlab.com/topics/gitops) and the
+[GitLab agent for Kubernetes](../../agent/gitops.md).
+
+You can find an example project that uses this structure
+[in this GitLab repository](https://gitlab.com/tigerwnz/minimal-gitops-app). You can use the example project
+as a starting point to create your own deployment project.
+
+## Deployment workflow
+
+The default branch is the single source of truth for your application and the
+Kubernetes manifests that deploy it. To be reflected in a Kubernetes cluster,
+a code or configuration change must exist in the default branch.
+
+A GitLab agent for Kubernetes is installed in every Kubernetes cluster. The agent
+is configured to sync manifests from a corresponding branch in the repository.
+These branches represent the state of each cluster, and contain only commits that
+exist in the default branch.
+
+Changes are deployed by merging the default branch into the branch of a cluster.
+The agent that watches the branch picks up the change and syncs it to the cluster.
+
+For the actual deployment, the example project uses the GitLab agent for Kubernetes,
+but you can also use other GitOps tools.
+
+### Review apps
+
+Ephemeral environments such as [review apps](../../../../ci/review_apps/index.md)
+are deployed differently. Their configuration does not exist on the default branch,
+and the changes are not meant to be deployed to a permanent environment. Review app
+manifests are generated and deployed in a merge request feature branch, which is removed
+when the MR is merged.
+
+## Example deployment
+
+The example project deploys to two permanent environments, staging and production,
+which each have a dedicated Kubernetes cluster. A third cluster is used for ephemeral
+review apps.
+
+Each cluster has a corresponding branch that represents the current state of the cluster:
+`_gitlab/agents/staging`, `_gitlab/agents/production` and `_gitlab/agents/review`. Each branch is
+[protected](../../../../user/project/protected_branches.md) and
+a [project access token](../../../../user/project/settings/project_access_tokens.md)
+is created for each branch with a configuration that allows only the corresponding token to push to the branch.
+This ensures that environment branches are updated only through the configured process.
+
+Deployment branches are updated by CI/CD jobs. The access token that allows pushing to each
+branch is configured as a [CI/CD variable](../../../../ci/variables/index.md). These variables
+are protected, and only available to pipelines running on a protected branch.
+The CI/CD job merges the default branch `main` into the deployment branch, and pushes
+the deployment branch back to the repository using the provided token. To preserve the
+commit history between both branches, the CI/CD job uses a fast-forward merge.
+
+Each cluster has an agent for Kubernetes, and each agent is configured to
+[sync manifests from the branch corresponding to its cluster](../gitops.md#gitops-configuration-reference).
+In your own project, you can different GitOps tool like Flux, or use the same configuration to deploy
+to virtual machines with GitLab CI/CD.
+
+### Application changes
+
+The example project follows this process to deploy an application change:
+
+1. A new feature branch is created with the desired changes. The pipeline builds an image,
+ runs the test suite, and deploy the changes to a review app in the `review` cluster.
+1. The feature branch is merged to `main` and the review app is removed.
+1. Manifests are updated on `main` (either directly or via merge request) to point to an updated
+ version of the deployed image. The pipeline automatically merges `main` into the `_gitlab/agents/staging`
+ branch, which updates the `staging` cluster.
+1. The `production` job is triggered manually, and merges `main` into the `_gitlab/agents/production` branch,
+ deploying to the `production` cluster.

+# Flux (Beta) **(FREE)**
+
+Flux is a GitOps tool that helps you manage your Kubernetes clusters.
+You can use Flux to:
+
+- Keep your clusters in sync with your Git repositories.
+- Reconcile code changes with your deployments.
+- Manage your Flux installation itself with a bootstrap.
+
+To get started, see the [Flux installation documentation](https://fluxcd.io/flux/installation).
+
+Support for Flux is in [Beta](../../../../policy/alpha-beta-support.md#beta).
+
+## Bootstrap installation
+
+Use the Flux command [`bootstrap gitlab`](https://fluxcd.io/flux/installation/#gitlab-and-gitlab-enterprise)
+to configure a Kubernetes cluster to manage itself from a Git repository.
+
+You must authenticate your installation with either:
+
+- Recommended. [A project access token](../../../project/settings/project_access_tokens.md).
+- A [group access token](../../../group/settings/group_access_tokens.md).
+- A [personal access token](../../../profile/personal_access_tokens.md).
+
+Some Flux features like [automated image updates](https://fluxcd.io/flux/guides/image-update/) require
+write access to the source repositories.
+
+## GitOps repository structure
+
+You should organize your repositories to meet the needs of your team. For detailed recommendations, see the Flux [repository structure documentation](https://fluxcd.io/flux/guides/repository-structure/).

+# Tutorial: Set up Flux for GitOps **(FREE)**
+
+This tutorial teaches you how to set up Flux for GitOps. You'll set up a sample project,
+complete a bootstrap Flux installation, and authenticate your installation with a
+[project deploy token](../../../project/deploy_tokens/index.md).
+
+You can find the fully configured tutorial project [in this GitLab repository](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/configure/examples/flux/flux-config).
+It works in conjunction with [this repository](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/configure/examples/flux/web-app-manifests/-/tree/main), which contains the example Kubernetes manifests.
+
+To set up Flux for GitOps:
+
+1. [Create a personal access token](#create-a-personal-access-token)
+1. [Create the Flux repository](#create-the-flux-repository)
+1. [Create the Kubernetes manifest repository](#create-the-kubernetes-manifest-repository)
+1. [Configure Flux to sync your manifests](#configure-flux-to-sync-your-manifests)
+1. [Verify your configuration](#verify-your-configuration)
+
+Prerequisites:
+
+- You must have a Kubernetes cluster running.
+
+## Create a personal access token
+
+To authenticate with the Flux CLI, you must create a personal access token
+with the `api` scope:
+
+1. In the upper-right corner, select your avatar.
+1. Select **Edit profile**.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Access Tokens**.
+1. Enter a name and optional expiry date for the token.
+1. Select the `api` scope.
+1. Select **Create personal access token**.
+
+You can also use a [project](../../../project/settings/project_access_tokens.md) or [group access token](../../../group/settings/group_access_tokens.md) with the `api` scope.
+
+## Create the Flux repository
+
+Create a Git repository, install Flux, and authenticate Flux with your repo:
+
+1. Make sure your `kubectl` is configured to access your cluster.
+1. [Install the Flux CLI](https://fluxcd.io/flux/installation/#install-the-flux-cli). You must install Flux v2 or higher.
+1. In GitLab, create a new empty project called `flux-config`.
+1. From your shell, export a `GITLAB_TOKEN` environment variable with the value of your personal access token.
+ For example, `export GITLAB_TOKEN=<personal-access-token>`.
+1. Run the `bootstrap` command. The exact command depends on whether you are
+ creating the Flux repository under a GitLab user, group, or subgroup. For more information,
+ see the [Flux bootstrap documentation](https://fluxcd.io/flux/installation/#gitlab-and-gitlab-enterprise).
+
+ In this tutorial, you're working with a public project in a subgroup. The bootstrap command looks like this:

+ --owner=gitlab-org/configure/examples/flux \
+ --repository=flux-config \
+ --branch=main \
+ --path=clusters/my-cluster \
+ --deploy-token-auth
+ ```
+
+ This command installs Flux on the Kubernetes cluster and configures it to manage itself from the repository `flux-config`.
+ The command also automatically creates the project deploy token required to access the `flux-config` repository.
+
+Great work! You now have a repository bootstrapped with a Flux configuration. Any updates to your repository are automatically synced to the cluster.
+
+## Create the Kubernetes manifest repository
+
+Next, create a repository for your Kubernetes manifests:
+
+1. In GitLab, create a new repository called `web-app-manifests`.
+1. Add a file to `web-app-manifests` named `nginx-deployment.yaml` with the following contents:
+
+ ```yaml
+ apiVersion: apps/v1
+
+ kind: Deployment
+
+ metadata:
+ name: nginx-deployment
+ labels:
+ app: nginx
+ spec:
+ replicas: 3
+ selector:
+ matchLabels:
+ app: nginx
+ template:
+ metadata:
+ labels:
+ app: nginx
+ spec:
+ containers:
+ - name: nginx
+ image: nginx:1.14.2
+ ports:
+ - containerPort: 80
+ ```
+
+1. In the new repository, [create a deploy token](../../../project/deploy_tokens/index.md#create-a-deploy-token) with only the `read_repository` scope.
+1. Store your deploy token username and password somewhere safe.
+1. In Flux CLI, create a secret with your deploy token and point the secret to the new repository. For example:
+
+ ```shell
+ flux create secret git flux-deploy-authentication \
+ --url=https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/configure/examples/flux/web-app-manifests \
+ --namespace=default \
+ --username=<token-user-name> \
+ --password=<token-password>
+ ```
+
+1. To check if your secret was generated successfully, run:
+
+ ```shell
+ kubectl -n default get secrets flux-deploy-authentication -o yaml
+ ```
+
+ Under `data`, you should see base64-encoded values associated with your token username and password.
+
+Congratulations! You now have a manifest repository, a deploy token, and a secret generated directly on your cluster.
+
+## Configure Flux to sync your manifests
+
+Next, tell `flux-config` to sync with the `web-app-manifests` repository.
+
+To do so, create a [`GitRepository`](https://fluxcd.io/flux/components/source/gitrepositories/) resource:
+
+1. Clone the `flux-config` repo to your machine.
+1. In your local clone of `flux-config`, add the `GitRepository` file `clusters/my-cluster/web-app-manifests-source.yaml`:
+
+ ```yaml
+ ---
+ apiVersion: source.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1beta2
+ kind: GitRepository
+ metadata:
+ name: web-app-manifests
+ namespace: default
+ spec:
+ interval: 1m0s
+ ref:
+ branch: main
+ secretRef:
+ name: flux-deploy-authentication
+ url: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/configure/examples/flux/web-app-manifests
+ ```
+
+ This file uses `secretRef` to refer back to the deploy token secret you created in the last step.
+
+1. In your local clone of `flux-config`, add the `GitRepository` file `clusters/my-cluster/web-app-manifests-kustomization.yaml`:
+
+ ```yaml
+ ---
+ apiVersion: kustomize.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1beta2
+ kind: Kustomization
+ metadata:
+ name: nginx-source-kustomization
+ namespace: default
+ spec:
+ interval: 1m0s
+ path: ./
+ prune: true
+ sourceRef:
+ kind: GitRepository
+ name: web-app-manifests
+ namespace: default
+ targetNamespace: default
+ ```
+
+ This file adds a [`Kustomization`](https://fluxcd.io/flux/components/kustomize/kustomization/) resource that tells Flux to sync the manifests from
+ `web-app-manifests` with `kustomize`.
+
+1. Commit the new files and push.
+
+## Verify your configuration
+
+You should see a newly created `nginx-deployment` pod in your cluster.
+
+To check whether the `nginx-deployment` pod is running in the default namespace, run the following:
+
+```shell
+kubectl -n default get pods -n default
+```
+
+If you want to see the deployment sync again, try updating the number of replicas in the
+`nginx-deployment.yaml` file and push to your `main` branch. If all is working well, it
+should sync to the cluster.
+
+Excellent work! You've successfully set up a complete Flux project.

-
-Cluster cost management provides insights into cluster resource usage. GitLab provides an example
-[`kubecost-cost-model`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-examples/kubecost-cost-model/)
-project that uses the GitLab Prometheus integration and
-[OpenCost `cost-model`](https://github.com/opencost/opencost) to provide cluster cost
-insights within GitLab:
-
-![Example dashboard](img/kubecost_v13_5.png)
-
-## Configure cluster cost management
-
-To get started with cluster cost management, you need the Maintainer role for a project or group.
-
-1. Clone the [`kubecost-cost-model`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-examples/kubecost-cost-model/)
- example repository, which contains minor modifications to the upstream Kubecost
- `cost-model` project:
- - Configures your Prometheus endpoint to the GitLab-managed Prometheus. You may
- need to change this value if you use a non-managed Prometheus.
- - Adds the necessary annotations to the deployment manifest to be scraped by
- GitLab-managed Prometheus.
- - Changes the Google Pricing API access key to the GitLab access key.
- - Contains definitions for a custom GitLab Metrics dashboard to show the cost insights.
-1. Connect GitLab with Prometheus, depending on your configuration:
- - *If Prometheus is already configured,* navigate to **Settings > Integrations > Prometheus**
- to provide the API endpoint of your Prometheus server.
- - *To use the Prometheus cluster integration,* navigate to your cluster's **Details** page,
- select the **Integrations** tab, and follow the instructions to enable the Prometheus
- cluster integration.
-1. Set up the Prometheus integration on the cloned example project.
-1. Add the Kubecost `cost-model` to your cluster:
- - *For non-managed clusters*, deploy it with GitLab CI/CD.
- - *To deploy it manually*, use the following commands:
-
- ```shell
- kubectl create namespace cost-model
- kubectl apply -f kubernetes/ --namespace cost-model
- ```
-
-To access the cost insights, navigate to **Monitor > Metrics** and select
-the `default_costs.yml` dashboard. You can [customize](#customize-the-cost-dashboard)
-this dashboard.
-
-### Customize the cost dashboard
-
-You can customize the cost dashboard by editing the `.gitlab/dashboards/default_costs.yml`
-file or creating similar dashboard configuration files. For more information, see
-[Custom dashboards](../../operations/metrics/dashboards/index.md).
-
-#### Available metrics
-
-Metrics contain both instance and node labels. The instance label is scheduled for deprecation in a future version.
-
-- `node_cpu_hourly_cost` - Hourly cost per vCPU on this node.
-- `node_gpu_hourly_cost` - Hourly cost per GPU on this node.
-- `node_ram_hourly_cost` - Hourly cost per gigabyte of memory on this node.
-- `node_total_hourly_cost` - Total node cost per hour.
-- `container_cpu_allocation` - Average number of CPUs requested/used over the previous minute.
-- `container_gpu_allocation` - Average number of GPUs requested over the previous minute.
-- `container_memory_allocation_bytes` - Average bytes of RAM requested/used over the previous minute.
-- `pod_pvc_allocation` - Bytes provisioned for a PVC attached to a pod.
-- `pv_hourly_cost` - Hourly cost per GB on a persistent volume.

-# Cluster integrations (DEPRECATED) **(FREE)**
+# Cluster integrations (removed) **(FREE)**
-> - [Deprecated](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/configure/-/epics/8) in GitLab 14.5.
-> - [Disabled on self-managed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/353410) in GitLab 15.0.
-
-WARNING:
-This feature was [deprecated](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/configure/-/epics/8) in GitLab 14.5.
-
-FLAG:
-On self-managed GitLab, by default this feature is not available. To make it available, ask an administrator to [enable the feature flag](../../administration/feature_flags.md) named `certificate_based_clusters`.
-
-GitLab provides several ways to integrate applications to your
-Kubernetes cluster.
-
-To enable cluster integrations, first add a Kubernetes cluster to a GitLab
-[project](../project/clusters/index.md) or
-[group](../group/clusters/index.md) or
-[instance](../instance/clusters/index.md).
-
-You can install your applications manually as shown in the following sections, or use the
-[Cluster management project template](management_project_template.md) that automates the
-installation.
-
-Although, the [Cluster management project template](management_project_template.md) still
-requires that you manually do the last steps of this section,
-[Enable Prometheus integration for your cluster](#enable-prometheus-integration-for-your-cluster). [An issue exists](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/326565)
-to automate this step.
-
-Prometheus cluster integrations can only be enabled for clusters [connected through cluster certificates](../project/clusters/add_existing_cluster.md).
-
-To enable Prometheus for your cluster connected through the [GitLab agent](agent/index.md), you can [integrate it manually](../project/integrations/prometheus.md#manual-configuration-of-prometheus).
-
-There is no option to enable Elastic Stack for your cluster if it is connected with the GitLab agent.
-Follow this [issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/300230) for updates.
-
-## Prometheus cluster integration
-
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/55244) in GitLab 13.11.
-
-WARNING:
-This feature was [deprecated](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/configure/-/epics/8) in GitLab 14.5. However, you can **still use** Prometheus
-for Kubernetes clusters connected to GitLab through the
-[agent](agent/index.md) by [enabling Prometheus manually](../project/integrations/prometheus.md#manual-configuration-of-prometheus).
-
-You can integrate your Kubernetes cluster with
-[Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/) for monitoring key metrics of your
-apps directly from the GitLab UI.
-
-Once enabled, you can see metrics from services available in the
-[metrics library](../project/integrations/prometheus_library/index.md).
-
-### Prometheus Prerequisites
-
-To use this integration:
-
-1. Prometheus must be installed in your cluster in the `gitlab-managed-apps` namespace.
-1. The `Service` resource for Prometheus must be named `prometheus-prometheus-server`.
-
-You can manage your Prometheus however you like, but as an example, you can set
-it up using [Helm](https://helm.sh/) as follows:
-
-```shell
-# Create the required Kubernetes namespace
-kubectl create ns gitlab-managed-apps
-
-# Download Helm chart values that is compatible with the requirements above.
-# These are included in the Cluster Management project template.
-wget https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/project-templates/cluster-management/-/raw/master/applications/prometheus/values.yaml
-
-# Add the Prometheus community Helm chart repository
-helm repo add prometheus-community https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts
-
-# Install Prometheus
-helm install prometheus prometheus-community/prometheus -n gitlab-managed-apps --values values.yaml
-```
-
-Alternatively, you can use your preferred installation method to install
-Prometheus as long as you meet the requirements above.
-
-### Enable Prometheus integration for your cluster
-
-To enable the Prometheus integration for your cluster:
-
-1. Go to the cluster's page:
- - For a [project-level cluster](../project/clusters/index.md), go to your project's
- **Infrastructure > Kubernetes clusters**.
- - For a [group-level cluster](../group/clusters/index.md), go to your group's
- **Kubernetes** page.
- - For an [instance-level cluster](../instance/clusters/index.md), go to your instance's
- **Kubernetes** page.
-1. Select the **Integrations** tab.
-1. Check the **Enable Prometheus integration** checkbox.
-1. Select **Save changes**.
-1. Go to the **Health** tab to see your cluster's metrics.
+This feature was [deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/346541) in GitLab 14.7
+and [removed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/399231) in 16.0.

-License check policies allow you to specify licenses that are `allowed` or `denied` in a project. If a `denied`

-Note, the merge request is not able to be merged until the `denied` license is removed.
-You may add a [`License-Check` approval rule](#enabling-license-approvals-within-a-project),
-which enables a designated approver that can approve and then merge a merge request with `denied` license.

-## Enabling License Approvals within a project
-
-Prerequisites:
-
-- Maintainer or Owner role.
-
-`License-Check` is a [merge request approval](../project/merge_requests/approvals/index.md) rule
-you can enable to allow an individual or group to approve a merge request that contains a `denied`
-license.
-
-You can enable `License-Check` one of two ways:
-
-1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
-1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > General**.
-1. Expand **Merge request approvals**.
-1. Select **Enable** or **Edit**.
-1. Add or change the **Rule name** to `License-Check` (case sensitive).
-
-![License Check Approver Rule](img/license-check_v13_4.png)
-
-- Create an approval group in the [project policies section for License Compliance](license_check_rules.md#license-check-policies-deprecated).
- You must set this approval group's number of approvals required to greater than zero. After you
- enable this group in your project, the approval rule is enabled for all merge requests.
-
-Any code changes cause the approvals required to reset.
-
-An approval is required when a license report:
-
-- Contains a dependency that includes a software license that is `denied`.
-- Is not generated during pipeline execution.
-
-An approval is optional when a license report:
-
-- Contains no software license violations.
-- Contains only new licenses that are `allowed` or unknown.
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### The License Compliance widget is stuck in a loading state
-
-A loading spinner is displayed in the following scenarios:
-
-- While the pipeline is in progress.
-- If the pipeline is complete, but still parsing the results in the background.
-- If the license scanning job is complete, but the pipeline is still running.
-
-The License Compliance widget polls every few seconds for updated results. When the pipeline is complete, the first poll after pipeline completion triggers the parsing of the results. This can take a few seconds depending on the size of the generated report.
-
-The final state is when a successful pipeline run has been completed, parsed, and the licenses displayed in the widget.

## License expressions
GitLab has limited support for [composite licenses](https://spdx.github.io/spdx-spec/v2-draft/SPDX-license-expressions/).
License compliance can read multiple licenses, but always considers them combined using the `AND` operator. For example,
-if a dependency has two licenses, and one of them is allowed and the other is denied by the project [policy](../license_check_rules.md),
+if a dependency has two licenses, and one of them is allowed and the other is denied by the project [license approval policy](../license_approval_policies.md),
GitLab evaluates the composite license as _denied_, as this is the safer option.

in [this epic](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/6571).

+## Running in an offline environment
+
+For self-managed GitLab instances in an environment with limited, restricted, or intermittent access to external resources through the internet, some adjustments are required to successfully scan

+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### A CycloneDX file is not being scanned and appears to provide no results
+
+Ensure that the CycloneDX file adheres to the [CycloneDX JSON specification](https://cyclonedx.org/docs/latest/json). This specification does [not permit duplicate entries](https://cyclonedx.org/docs/latest/json/#components). Projects that contain multiple SBOM files should either report each SBOM file up as individual CI report artifacts or they should ensure that duplicates are removed if the SBOMs are merged as part of the CI pipeline.
+
+You can validate CycloneDX SBOM files against the `CycloneDX JSON specification` as follows:
+
+```shell
+$ docker run -it --rm -v "$PWD:/my-cyclonedx-sboms" -w /my-cyclonedx-sboms cyclonedx/cyclonedx-cli:latest cyclonedx validate --input-version v1_4 --input-file gl-sbom-all.cdx.json

+
+- [Bypass email confirmation for provisioned users](#bypass-email-confirmation-for-provisioned-users).
+
+### Set up a verified domain
+
+Prerequisites:
+
+- A custom domain name `example.com` or subdomain `subdomain.example.com`.
+- Access to your domain's server control panel to set up a DNS `TXT` record to verify your domain's ownership.
+
+Setting up a verified domain is similar to [setting up a custom domain on GitLab Pages](../project/pages/custom_domains_ssl_tls_certification/index.md). However, you must:

+- Configure the DNS `TXT` record to verify the domain's ownership.

+
+#### 1. Add a custom domain for the matching email domain
+
+The custom domain must match the email domain exactly. For example, if your email is `username@example.com`, verify the `example.com` domain.
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Groups** and find your top group.

+
+#### 2. Get a verification code
+
+After you create a new domain, the verification code prompts you. Copy the values from GitLab
+and paste them in your domain's control panel as a `TXT` record.

-
-### NameID
-
-GitLab.com uses the SAML NameID to identify users. The NameID element:
-
-- Is a required field in the SAML response.
-- Must be unique to each user.
-- Must be a persistent value that never changes, such as a randomly generated unique user ID.
-- Is case sensitive. The NameID must match exactly on subsequent login attempts, so should not rely on user input that could change between upper and lower case.
-- Should not be an email address or username. We strongly recommend against these as it's hard to
- guarantee it doesn't ever change, for example, when a person's name changes. Email addresses are
- also case-insensitive, which can result in users being unable to sign in.
-
-The relevant field name and recommended value for supported providers are in the [provider specific notes](#providers).
-
-WARNING:
-Once users have signed into GitLab using the SSO SAML setup, changing the `NameID` breaks the configuration and potentially locks users out of the GitLab group.
-
-#### NameID Format
-
-We recommend setting the NameID format to `Persistent` unless using a field (such as email) that requires a different format.
-Most NameID formats can be used, except `Transient` due to the temporary nature of this format.
-
-### User attributes
-
-To create users with the correct information for improved [user access and management](#user-access-and-management),
-the user's details must be passed to GitLab as attributes in the SAML assertion. At a minimum, the user's email address
-must be specified as an attribute named `email` or `mail`.
-
-You can configure the following attributes with GitLab.com Group SAML:
+The SAML standard means that you can use a wide range of identity providers with GitLab. Your identity provider might have relevant documentation. It can be generic SAML documentation or specifically targeted for GitLab.
-- `username` or `nickname`. We recommend you configure only one of these.

+1. You should set the following attributes:
+ - **Unique User Identifier (Name identifier)** to `user.objectID`.
+ - **nameid-format** to `persistent`. For more information, see how to [manage user SAML identity](#manage-user-saml-identity).
+ - **Additional claims** to [supported attributes](#user-attributes).
-Many SAML terms can vary between providers. It is possible that the information you are looking for is listed under another name.
+1. Make sure the identity provider is set to have provider-initiated calls
+ to link existing GitLab accounts.
-For more information, start with your identity provider's documentation. Look for their options and examples to see how they configure SAML. This can provide hints on what you need to configure GitLab to work with these providers.
-
-It can also help to look at our [more detailed docs for self-managed GitLab](../../../integration/saml.md).
-SAML configuration for GitLab.com is mostly the same as for self-managed instances.
-However, self-managed GitLab instances use a configuration file that supports more options as described in the external [OmniAuth SAML documentation](https://github.com/omniauth/omniauth-saml/).
-Internally that uses the [`ruby-saml` library](https://github.com/onelogin/ruby-saml), so we sometimes check there to verify low level details of less commonly used options.
-
-It can also help to compare the XML response from your provider with our [example XML used for internal testing](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/ee/spec/fixtures/saml/response.xml).

-> - [Improved](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/375788) in GitLab 15.8 by enabling transparent SSO by default on GitLab.com.
-
-FLAG:
-On self-managed GitLab, transparent SSO enforcement is unavailable. An
-[issue exists](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/382917) to add
-transparent SSO enforcement to self-managed GitLab.
-On GitLab.com, transparent SSO enforcement is available by default. To turn off
-transparent SSO, ask a support or production team to enable the
-`transparent_sso_enforcement_override` feature flag for a specific customer
-group.
-
-#### Transparent SSO enforcement
-
-By default, transparent SSO enforcement is enabled in GitLab.com. This means SSO is enforced:
-
-- When users access groups and projects in the organization's
- group hierarchy. Users can view other groups and projects without SSO sign in.
-- For each user with an existing SAML identity.
-
-When transparent SSO enforcement is enabled, users:
-
-- Are not prompted to sign in through SSO on each visit. GitLab checks
- whether a user has authenticated through SSO. If the user last signed in more
- than 24 hours ago, GitLab prompts the user to sign in again through SSO.
-- Without SAML identities are not required to use SSO unless **Enforce
- SSO-only authentication for web activity for this group** is enabled.
-
-A user has a SAML identity if one or both of the following are true:
-
-- They have signed in to GitLab by using their GitLab group's single sign-on URL.
-- They were provisioned by SCIM.
-
-With transparent SSO enabled, SSO is enforced as follows:
-
-| Project/Group visibility | Enforce SSO setting | Member with identity | Member without identity | Non-member or not signed in |
-|--------------------------|---------------------|--------------------| ------ |------------------------------|
-| Private | Off | Enforced | Not enforced | No access |
-| Private | On | Enforced | Enforced | No access |
-| Public | Off | Enforced | Not enforced | Not enforced |
-| Public | On | Enforced | Enforced | Not enforced |
-
-An [issue exists](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/297389) to add a similar SSO requirement for API activity.
-
-#### SSO-only for web activity enforcement
-
-When the **Enforce SSO-only authentication for web activity for this group** option is enabled:
-
-- All users must access GitLab by using their GitLab group's single sign-on URL
- to access group resources, regardless of whether they have an existing SAML
- identity.
-- SSO is enforced when users access groups and projects in the organization's
- group hierarchy. Users can view other groups and projects without SSO sign in.
-- Users cannot be added as new members manually.
-- Users with the Owner role can use the standard sign in process to make
- necessary changes to top-level group settings.
-
-SSO enforcement for web activity has the following effects when enabled:
-
-- For groups, users cannot share a project in the group outside the top-level
- group, even if the project is forked.
-- For Git activity over SSH and HTTPS, users must have at least one active
- session signed-in through SSO before they can push to or
- pull from a GitLab repository.
-- Git activity originating from CI/CD jobs do not have the SSO check enforced.
-- Credentials that are not tied to regular users (for example, project and group
- access tokens, and deploy keys) do not have the SSO check enforced.
-- Users must be signed-in through SSO before they can pull images using the
- [Dependency Proxy](../../packages/dependency_proxy/index.md).
-- When the **Enforce SSO-only authentication for Git and Dependency Proxy
- activity for this group** option is enabled, any API endpoint that involves
- Git activity is under SSO enforcement. For example, creating or deleting a
- branch, commit, or tag.
-
-When SSO for web activity is enforced, non-SSO group members do not lose access
-immediately. If the user:
-
-- Has an active session, they can continue accessing the group for up to 24
- hours until the identity provider session times out.
-- Is signed out, they cannot access the group after being removed from the
- identity provider.

+
+On GitLab.com, SSO is enforced:
+
+- When SAML SSO is enabled.
+- For users with an existing SAML identity when accessing groups and projects in the organization's
+ group hierarchy. Users can view other groups and projects as well as their user settings without SSO sign in by using their GitLab.com credentials.
+
+A user has a SAML identity if one or both of the following are true:
+
+- They have signed in to GitLab by using their GitLab group's single sign-on URL.
+- They were provisioned by SCIM.
+
+Users are not prompted to sign in through SSO on each visit. GitLab checks
+whether a user has authenticated through SSO. If the user last signed in more
+than 24 hours ago, GitLab prompts the user to sign in again through SSO.
+
+SSO is enforced as follows:
+
+| Project/Group visibility | Enforce SSO setting | Member with identity | Member without identity | Non-member or not signed in |
+|--------------------------|---------------------|----------------------|-------------------------|-----------------------------|
+| Private | Off | Enforced | Not enforced | Not enforced |
+| Private | On | Enforced | Enforced | Enforced |
+| Public | Off | Enforced | Not enforced | Not enforced |
+| Public | On | Enforced | Enforced | Not enforced |
+
+An [issue exists](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/297389) to add a similar SSO requirement for API activity.
+
+### SSO-only for web activity enforcement
+
+When the **Enforce SSO-only authentication for web activity for this group** option is enabled:
+
+- All members must access GitLab by using their GitLab group's single sign-on URL
+ to access group resources, regardless of whether they have an existing SAML
+ identity.
+- SSO is enforced when users access groups and projects in the organization's
+ group hierarchy. Users can view other groups and projects without SSO sign in.
+- Users cannot be added as new members manually.
+- Users with the Owner role can use the standard sign in process to make
+ necessary changes to top-level group settings.
+- For non-members or users who are not signed in:
+ - SSO is not enforced when they access public group resources.
+ - SSO is enforced when they access private group resources.
+
+SSO enforcement for web activity has the following effects when enabled:
+
+- For groups, users cannot share a project in the group outside the top-level
+ group, even if the project is forked.
+- Git activity originating from CI/CD jobs do not have the SSO check enforced.
+- Credentials that are not tied to regular users (for example, project and group
+ access tokens, and deploy keys) do not have the SSO check enforced.
+- Users must be signed-in through SSO before they can pull images using the
+ [Dependency Proxy](../../packages/dependency_proxy/index.md).
+- When the **Enforce SSO-only authentication for Git and Dependency Proxy
+ activity for this group** option is enabled, any API endpoint that involves

## Troubleshooting
-See our [troubleshooting SAML guide](troubleshooting.md).
+If you find it difficult to match the different SAML terms between GitLab and the
+identity provider:
+
+1. Check your identity provider's documentation. Look at their example SAML
+ configurations for information on the terms they use.
+1. Check the [SAML SSO for self-managed GitLab instances documentation](../../../integration/saml.md).
+ The self-managed GitLab instance SAML configuration file supports more options
+ than the GitLab.com file. You can find information on the self-managed instance
+ file in the:
+ - External [OmniAuth SAML documentation](https://github.com/omniauth/omniauth-saml/).
+ - [`ruby-saml` library](https://github.com/onelogin/ruby-saml).
+1. Compare the XML response from your provider with our
+ [example XML used for internal testing](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/ee/spec/fixtures/saml/response.xml).
+

+- A **value stream** contains a value stream stage list.
+- Each value stream stage list contains one or more **stages**.
+- Each stage has two **events**: start and stop.

-> - [Feature flag removed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/323982) in GitLab 13.12.
+### Value stream stages
-The **Overview** dashboard in value stream analytics shows key metrics and DORA metrics of group performance. Based on the filter you select,
-the dashboard automatically aggregates DORA metrics and displays the current status of the value stream. Select a DORA metric to view its chart.
+A stage represents an event pair (start and end events) with additional metadata, such as the name of the stage. You can configure the stages in the pairing rules defined in the backend.
-Prerequisite:
+### Value streams
-- To view deployment metrics, you must have a
-[production environment configured](../../../ci/environments/index.md#deployment-tier-of-environments).
+Value streams are container objects for the stages. You can have multiple value streams per group, to focus on different aspects of the DevOps lifecycle.

-### Key metrics in the value stream
-
-The **Overview** dashboard shows the following key metrics that measure team performance:
-
-- Lead time: Median time from when the issue was created to when it was closed.
-- Cycle time: Median time from first commit to issue closed. GitLab measures cycle time from the earliest commit of a
- [linked issue's merge request](../../project/issues/crosslinking_issues.md#from-commit-messages) to when that issue is closed.
- The cycle time approach underestimates the lead time because merge request creation is always later than commit time.
-- New issues: Number of new issues created.
-- Deploys: Total number of deployments to production.
-
-### DORA metrics **(ULTIMATE)**
+Events are the smallest building blocks of the value stream analytics feature. A stage consists of a start event and an end event.

Registry, this workaround is not required because we implemented a special tag delete operation. In
this case, you can expect cleanup policies to be consistent and predictable.
+#### Example cleanup policy workflow
+
+The interaction between the keep and remove rules for the cleanup policy can be complex.
+For example, with a project with this cleanup policy configuration:
+
+- **Keep the most recent**: 1 tag per image name.
+- **Keep tags matching**: `production-.*`
+- **Remove tags older than**: 7 days.
+- **Remove tags matching**: `.*`.
+
+And a container repository with these tags:
+
+- `latest`, published 2 hours ago.
+- `production-v44`, published 3 days ago.
+- `production-v43`, published 6 days ago.
+- `production-v42`, published 11 days ago.
+- `dev-v44`, published 2 days ago.
+- `dev-v43`, published 5 day ago.
+- `dev-v42`, published 10 days ago.
+- `v44`, published yesterday.
+- `v43`, published 12 days ago.
+- `v42`, published 20 days ago.
+
+In this example, the tags that would be deleted in the next cleanup run are `dev-v42`, `v43`, and `v42`.
+You can interpret the rules as applying with this precedence:
+
+1. The keep rules have highest precedence. Tags must be kept when they match **any** rule.
+ - The `latest` tag must be kept, because `latest` tags are always kept.
+ - The `production-v44`, `production-v43`, and `production-v42` tags must be kept,
+ because they match the **Keep tags matching** rule.
+ - The `v44` tag must be kept because it's the most recent, matching the **Keep the most recent** rule.
+1. The remove rules have lower precedence, and tags are only deleted if **all** rules match.
+ For the tags not matching any keep rules (`dev-44`, `dev-v43`, `dev-v42`, `v43`, and `v42`):
+ - `dev-44` and `dev-43` do **not** match the **Remove tags older than**, and are kept.
+ - `dev-v42`, `v43`, and `v42` match both **Remove tags older than** and **Remove tags matching**
+ rules, so these three tags can be deleted.

-
-You can use one of three API endpoints to install a Maven package. You must publish a package to a project, but note which endpoint
-you use to install the package. The option you choose determines the settings you add to your `pom.xml` file for publishing.
-
-The three endpoints are:
-
-- **Project-level**: Use when you have a few Maven packages that are not in the same GitLab group.
-- **Group-level**: Use when installing packages from many different projects in the same GitLab group. GitLab does not guarantee the uniqueness of package names in the group. You can have two projects with the same package name and package version. As a result, GitLab serves whichever one is more recent.
-- **Instance-level**: Use when installing many packages from different GitLab groups or in their own namespace.
-
-**Only packages with the same path as the project** are exposed by the instance-level endpoint.
-
-| Project | Package | Instance-level endpoint available |

-
-In all cases, to publish a package, you need:
-
-- A project-specific URL in the `distributionManagement` section.
-- A `repository` and `distributionManagement` section.
-
-### Edit the Groovy DSL or Kotlin DSL
-
-The Gradle Groovy DSL `repositories` section should look like this:
-
-```groovy
-repositories {
- maven {
- url "<your_endpoint_url>"
- name "GitLab"
- }
-}
-```
-
-In Kotlin DSL:
-
-```kotlin
-repositories {
- maven {
- url = uri("<your_endpoint_url>")
- name = "GitLab"
- }
-}
-```
-
-- Replace `<your_endpoint_url>` with the [endpoint](#endpoint-urls) you chose.
-
-## Publish using Gradle
-
-Your token name depends on which token you use.
-
-| Token type | Token name |
-| --------------------- | --------------- |
-| Personal access token | `Private-Token` |
-| Deploy token | `Deploy-Token` |
-
-To publish a package by using Gradle:
-
-1. Add the Gradle plugin [`maven-publish`](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/publishing_maven.html) to the plugins section:
-
- In Groovy DSL:
-
- ```groovy
- plugins {
- id 'java'
- id 'maven-publish'
- }
- ```
-
- In Kotlin DSL:
-
- ```kotlin
- plugins {
- java
- `maven-publish`
- }
- ```
-
-1. Add a `publishing` section:
-
- In Groovy DSL:
-
- ```groovy
- publishing {
- publications {
- library(MavenPublication) {
- from components.java
- }
- }
- repositories {
- maven {
- url "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/<PROJECT_ID>/packages/maven"
- credentials(HttpHeaderCredentials) {
- name = "REPLACE_WITH_TOKEN_NAME"
- value = gitLabPrivateToken // the variable resides in $GRADLE_USER_HOME/gradle.properties
- }
- authentication {
- header(HttpHeaderAuthentication)
- }
- }
- }
- }
- ```
-
- In Kotlin DSL:
-
- ```kotlin
- publishing {
- publications {
- create<MavenPublication>("library") {
- from(components["java"])
- }
- }
- repositories {
- maven {
- url = uri("https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/<PROJECT_ID>/packages/maven")
- credentials(HttpHeaderCredentials::class) {
- name = "REPLACE_WITH_TOKEN_NAME"
- value =
- findProperty("gitLabPrivateToken") as String? // the variable resides in $GRADLE_USER_HOME/gradle.properties
- }
- authentication {
- create("header", HttpHeaderAuthentication::class)
- }
- }
- }
- }
- ```
-
-1. Replace `PROJECT_ID` with your project ID, which you can find on your project's home page.
-
-1. Run the publish task:
-
- ```shell
- gradle publish
- ```
-
-Go to your project's **Packages and registries** page and view the published packages.
-
-## Install a package
-
-To install a package from the GitLab Package Registry, you must configure
-the [remote and authenticate](#authenticate-to-the-package-registry-with-gradle).
-After configuring the remote and authenticate, you can install a package from a project, group, or namespace.
-
-If multiple packages have the same name and version, when you install
-a package, the most recently-published package is retrieved.
-
-Add a [dependency](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/declaring_dependencies.html) to `build.gradle` in the dependencies section:
-
-```groovy
-dependencies {
- implementation 'com.mycompany.mydepartment:my-project:1.0-SNAPSHOT'
-}
-```
-
-Or to `build.gradle.kts` if you are using Kotlin DSL:
-
-```kotlin
-dependencies {
- implementation("com.mycompany.mydepartment:my-project:1.0-SNAPSHOT")
-}
-```
-
-## Helpful hints
-
-For the complete list of helpful hints, see the [Maven documentation](../maven_repository/index.md#helpful-hints).
-
-### Create Maven packages with GitLab CI/CD by using Gradle
-
-You can create a package each time the `main` branch
-is updated.
-
-1. Authenticate with [a CI job token in Gradle](#authenticate-with-a-ci-job-token-in-gradle).
-
-1. Add a `deploy` job to your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file:
-
- ```yaml
- deploy:
- image: gradle:6.5-jdk11
- script:
- - 'gradle publish'
- only:
- - main
- ```
-
-1. Commit files to your repository.
-
-When the pipeline is successful, the Maven package is created.
-
-### Publishing a package with the same name or version
-
-When you publish a package with the same name and version as an existing package, the new package
-files are added to the existing package. You can still use the UI or API to access and view the
-existing package's older assets.
-
-Consider using the Packages API or the UI to delete older package versions.
-
-### Do not allow duplicate Maven packages
-
-To prevent users from publishing duplicate Maven packages, you can use the [GraphQl API](../../../api/graphql/reference/index.md#packagesettings) or the UI.
-
-In the UI:
-
-1. For your group, go to **Settings > Packages and registries**.
-1. Expand the **Package Registry** section.
-1. Turn on the **Do not allow duplicates** toggle.
-1. Optional. To allow some duplicate packages, in the **Exceptions** box, enter a regex pattern that matches the names and/or versions of packages you want to allow.
-
-Your changes are automatically saved.
-
-### Request forwarding to Maven Central
-
-FLAG:
-By default, this feature is not available for self-managed. To make it available, ask an administrator to [enable the feature flag](../../../administration/feature_flags.md) named `maven_central_request_forwarding`.
-This feature is not available for SaaS users.
-
-When a Maven package is not found in the Package Registry, the request is forwarded
-to [Maven Central](https://search.maven.org/).
-
-When the feature flag is enabled, administrators can disable this behavior in the
-[Continuous Integration settings](../../admin_area/settings/continuous_integration.md).
-
-There are many ways to configure your Maven project to request packages
-in Maven Central from GitLab. Maven repositories are queried in a
-[specific order](https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-multiple-repositories.html#repository-order).
-By default, maven-central is usually checked first through the
-[Super POM](https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-pom.html#Super_POM), so
-GitLab needs to be configured to be queried before maven-central.
-
-[Using GitLab as a mirror of the central proxy](../maven_repository/index.md#setting-gitlab-as-a-mirror-for-the-central-proxy) is one
-way to force GitLab to be queried in place of maven-central.
-
-Maven forwarding is restricted to only the project level and
-group level [endpoints](#naming-convention). The instance-level endpoint
-has naming restrictions that prevent it from being used for packages that don't follow that convention and also
-introduces too much security risk for supply-chain style attacks.

-# Infrastructure Registry **(FREE)**
+This document was moved to [another location](../terraform_module_registry/index.md).
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/3221) in GitLab 14.0.
-
-With the GitLab Infrastructure Registry, you can use GitLab projects as a
-private registry for infrastructure packages. You can create and publish
-packages with GitLab CI/CD, which can then be consumed from other private
-projects.
-
-## View packages
-
-To view packages within your project:
-
-1. Go to the project.
-1. Go to **Packages and registries > Infrastructure Registry**.
-
-You can search, sort, and filter packages on this page.
-
-For information on how to create and upload a package, view the GitLab
-documentation for your package type:
-
-- [Terraform modules](../terraform_module_registry/index.md)
-
-## Use GitLab CI/CD to build packages
-
-To use [GitLab CI/CD](../../../ci/index.md) to build packages, you can
-authenticate with the [`CI_JOB_TOKEN` predefined variable](../../../ci/variables/predefined_variables.md).
-
-CI/CD templates, which you can use to get started, are in [this repository](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/tree/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates).
-
-For more information about using CI/CD to build Terraform modules,
-see [Publish a Terraform module by using CI/CD](../terraform_module_registry/index.md#publish-a-terraform-module-by-using-cicd).
-
-If you use CI/CD to build a package, you can find extended activity information
-when you view the package details:
-
-![Package CI/CD activity](../package_registry/img/package_activity_v12_10.png)
-
-You can see the pipeline that published the package as well as the commit and the user who triggered it. However, the history is limited to five updates per package.
-
-## Download a package
-
-To download a package:
-
-1. Go to **Packages and registries > Infrastructure Registry**.
-1. Select the name of the package you want to download.
-1. In the **Activity** section, select the name of the package you want to download.
-
-## Delete a package
-
-You cannot edit a package after you publish it in the Infrastructure Registry. Instead, you
-must delete and recreate it.
-
-To delete a package, you must have suitable [permissions](../../permissions.md).
-
-You can delete packages by using [the API](../../../api/packages.md#delete-a-project-package) or the UI.
-
-To delete a package in the UI, from your project:
-
-1. Go to **Packages and registries > Infrastructure Registry**.
-1. Find the name of the package you want to delete.
-1. Select **Delete**.
-
-The package is permanently deleted.
-
-## Disable the Infrastructure Registry
-
-The Infrastructure Registry is automatically enabled.
-
-For self-managed instances, a GitLab administrator can
-[disable](../../../administration/packages/index.md) **Packages and registries**,
-which removes this menu item from the sidebar.
-
-You can also remove the Infrastructure Registry for a specific project:
-
-1. In your project, go to **Settings > General**.
-1. Expand the **Visibility, project features, permissions** section and toggle **Packages** off (in gray).
-1. Select **Save changes**.
-
-To enable it back, follow the same steps above and toggle it on (in blue).
-
-## How module resolution works
-
-When you upload a new module, GitLab generates a path for the module, for example, `https://gitlab.example.com/parent-group/my-infra-package`.
-
-- This path conforms with [the Terraform spec](https://www.terraform.io/internals/module-registry-protocol).
-- The name of the path must be unique within the namespace.
-
-For projects in subgroups, GitLab checks that the module name does not already exist anywhere in the namespace, including all subgroups and the parent group.
-
-For example, if:
-
-- The project is `gitlab.example.com/parent-group/sub-group/my-project`.
-- The infrastructure package is `my-infra-package`.
-
-The project name must be unique in all projects in all groups under `parent-group`.

- //gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/<your_project_id_b>/packages/npm/:_authToken=${MY_TOKEN}
- ```
+If the package and its dependencies are spread across multiple groups, you can use a [personal access token](../../profile/personal_access_tokens.md)
+from a user that has access to all the groups or individual projects:

+### Deleting packages
+
+When package requests are forwarded to a public registry, deleting packages can
+be a [dependency confusion vulnerability](https://medium.com/@alex.birsan/dependency-confusion-4a5d60fec610).
+
+If a system tries to pull a deleted package, the request is forwarded to the public
+registry. If a package with the same name and version is found in the public registry, that package
+is pulled instead. There is a risk that the package pulled from the registry might not be
+what is expected, and could even be malicious.
+
+To reduce the associated security risks, before deleting a package you can:
+
+- Verify the package is not being actively used.
+- Disable request forwarding:
+ - Instance administrators can disable forwarding in the [**Continuous Integration** section](../../admin_area/settings/continuous_integration.md#package-registry-configuration) of the Admin Area.
+ - Group owners can disable forwarding in the **Packages and Registries** section of the group settings.
## Allow or prevent duplicates **(FREE)**

+## Reference a Terraform module
+
+Prerequisites:
+
+- You need to [authenticate with the API](../../../api/rest/index.md#authentication). If authenticating with a personal access token, it must be configured with the `read_api` scope.
+
+Authentication tokens (Job Token or Personal Access Token) can be provided for `terraform` in your `~/.terraformrc` file:
+
+```terraform
+credentials "gitlab.com" {
+ token = "<TOKEN>"
+}
+```
+
+Where `gitlab.com` can be replaced with the hostname of your self-managed GitLab instance.
+
+You can then refer to your Terraform module from a downstream Terraform project:
+
+```terraform
+module "<module>" {
+ source = "gitlab.com/<namespace>/<module-name>/<module-system>"
+}
+```
+
+Where `<namespace>` is the [namespace](../../../user/namespace/index.md) of the Terraform Module Registry.
+
+## Download a Terraform module
+
+To download a Terraform module:
+
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Packages and registries > Terraform modules**.
+1. Select the name of the module you want to download.
+1. In the **Activity** section, select the name of the module you want to download.
+
+## How module resolution works
+
+When you upload a new module, GitLab generates a path for the module, for example, `https://gitlab.example.com/parent-group/my-infra-package`.
+
+- This path conforms with [the Terraform spec](https://www.terraform.io/internals/module-registry-protocol).
+- The name of the path must be unique in the namespace.
+
+For projects in subgroups, GitLab checks that the module name does not already exist anywhere in the namespace, including all subgroups and the parent group.
+
+For example, if:
+
+- The project is `gitlab.example.com/parent-group/sub-group/my-project`.
+- The Terraform module is `my-infra-package`.
+
+The project name must be unique in all projects in all groups under `parent-group`.
+
+## Delete a Terraform module
+
+You cannot edit a Terraform module after you publish it in the Terraform Module Registry. Instead, you
+must delete and recreate it.
+
+To delete a module, you must have suitable [permissions](../../permissions.md).
+
+You can delete modules by using [the packages API](../../../api/packages.md#delete-a-project-package) or the UI.
+
+To delete a module in the UI, from your project:
+
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Packages and registries > Terraform modules**.
+1. Find the name of the package you want to delete.
+1. Select **Delete**.
+
+The package is permanently deleted.
+
+## Disable the Terraform Module Registry
+
+The Terraform Module Registry is automatically enabled.
+
+For self-managed instances, a GitLab administrator can
+[disable](../../../administration/packages/index.md) **Packages and registries**,
+which removes this menu item from the sidebar.
+
+You can also remove the Terraform Module Registry for a specific project:
+
+1. In your project, go to **Settings > General**.
+1. Expand the **Visibility, project features, permissions** section and toggle **Packages** off (in gray).
+1. Select **Save changes**.
+
+To enable it back, follow the same steps above and toggle it on (in blue).

## Publish to GitLab Package Registry
+You can use Yarn to publish to the GitLab Package Registry.
+
### Authentication to the Package Registry
You need a token to publish a package. Different tokens are available depending on what you're trying to
achieve. For more information, review the [guidance on tokens](../../../user/packages/package_registry/index.md#authenticate-with-the-registry).
-- If your organization uses two-factor authentication (2FA), you must use a personal access token with the scope set to `api`.
-- If you publish a package via CI/CD pipelines, you must use a CI job token.
+- If your organization uses two-factor authentication (2FA), you must use a
+ personal access token with the scope set to `api`.
+- If you publish a package via CI/CD pipelines, you can use a CI job token in
+ private runners or you can register a variable for shared runners.
-Create a token and save it to use later in the process.
+### Publish configuration
-### Naming convention
+To publish, set the following configuration in `.yarnrc.yml`. This file should be
+located in the root directory of your package project source where `package.json` is found.
-Depending on how you install the package, you may need to adhere to the naming convention.
+```yaml
+npmScopes:
+ <my-org>:
+ npmPublishRegistry: 'https://<your_domain>/api/v4/projects/<your_project_id>/packages/npm/'
+ npmAlwaysAuth: true
+ npmAuthToken: '<your_token>'
+```
-You can use one of two API endpoints to install packages:
+In this configuration:
-- **Instance-level**: Use when you have many npm packages in different GitLab groups or in their own namespace.
-- **Project-level**: Use when you have a few npm packages, and they are not in the same GitLab group.
+- Replace `<my-org>` with your organization scope, exclude the `@` symbol.
+- Replace `<your_domain>` with your domain name.
+- Replace `<your_project_id>` with your project's ID, which you can find on the project's home page.
+- Replace `<your_token>` with a deployment token, group access token, project access token, or personal access token.
-If you plan to install a package through the [project level](#install-from-the-project-level), you do not have to
-adhere to the naming convention.
+Scoped registry does not work in Yarn Classic in `package.json` file, based on
+this [issue](https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/pull/7829).
+Therefore, under `publishConfig` there should be `registry` and not `@scope:registry` for Yarn Classic.
+You can publish using your command line or a CI/CD pipeline to the GitLab Package Registry.
-If you plan to install a package through the [instance level](#install-from-the-instance-level), then you must name
-your package with a [scope](https://docs.npmjs.com/misc/scope/). Scoped packages begin with a `@` and have the
-`@owner/package-name` format. You can set up the scope for your package in the `.yarnrc.yml` file and by using the
-`publishConfig` option in the `package.json`.
+### Publishing via the command line - Manual Publish
-- The value used for the `@scope` is the root of the project that hosts the packages and not the root
- of the project with the package's source code. The scope should be lowercase.
-- The package name can be anything you want
+```shell
+# Yarn 1 (Classic)
+yarn publish
-| Project URL | Package Registry in | Scope | Full package name |
-| ------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------- | --------- | ---------------------- |
-| `https://gitlab.com/my-org/engineering-group/analytics` | Analytics | `@my-org` | `@my-org/package-name` |
+# Yarn 2+
+yarn npm publish
+```
-### Configuring `.yarnrc.yml` to publish from the project level
+Your package should now publish to the Package Registry.
-To publish with the project-level npm endpoint, set the following configuration in
-`.yarnrc.yml`:
+### Publishing via a CI/CD pipeline - Automated Publish
-```yaml
-npmScopes:
- foo:
- npmRegistryServer: 'https://<your_domain>/api/v4/projects/<your_project_id>/packages/npm/'
- npmPublishRegistry: 'https://<your_domain>/api/v4/projects/<your_project_id>/packages/npm/'
+You can use pipeline variables when you use this method.
-npmRegistries:
- //gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/<your_project_id>/packages/npm/:
- npmAlwaysAuth: true
- npmAuthToken: '<your_token>'
-```
+You can use **Shared Runners** *(Default)* or **Private Runners** (Advanced).
-In this configuration:
+#### Shared runners
-- Replace `<your_domain>` with your domain name.
-- Replace `<your_project_id>` with your project's ID, which you can find on the project's home page.
-- Replace `<your_token>` with a deploy token, group access token, project access token, or personal access token.
+Third party images such as `node:latest` or `node:current` do not have direct access
+to the `CI_JOB_TOKEN` when operating in a shared runner. You must configure an
+authentication token or use a private runner.
+
+To create a authentication token:
-### Configuring `.yarnrc.yml` to publish from the instance level
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu**, and:
+ - For a project, select **Projects** and find your project.
+ - For a group, select **Groups** and find your group.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > Repository > Deploy Tokens**.
+1. Create a deployment token with `read_package_registry` and `write_package_registry` scopes and copy the generated token.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > CI/CD > Variables**.
+1. Select `Add variable` and use the following settings:
-For the instance-level npm endpoint, use this Yarn 2 configuration in `.yarnrc.yml`:
+| Field | Value |
+|--------------------|------------------------------|
+| key | `NPM_AUTH_TOKEN` |
+| value | `<DEPLOY-TOKEN-FROM-STEP-3>` |
+| type | Variable |
+| Protected variable | `CHECKED` |
+| Mask variable | `CHECKED` |
+| Expand variable | `CHECKED` |
+
+To use any **Protected variable**:
+
+ 1. Go to the repository that contains the Yarn package source code.
+ 1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > Repository**.
+ - If you are building from branches with tags, select **Protected Tags** and add `v*` (wildcard) for semantic versioning.
+ - If you are building from branches without tags, select **Protected Branches**.
+
+Then add the `NPM_AUTH_TOKEN` created above, to the `.yarnrc.yml` configuration
+in your package project root directory where `package.json` is found:
```yaml
npmScopes:
- <scope>:
- npmRegistryServer: 'https://<your_domain>/api/v4/packages/npm/'
-
-npmRegistries:
- //gitlab.example.com/api/v4/packages/npm/:

+ npmPublishRegistry: "${CI_API_V4_URL}/projects/${CI_PROJECT_ID}/packages/npm/"
npmAlwaysAuth: true
- npmAuthToken: '<your_token>'
+ npmAuthToken: "${NPM_AUTH_TOKEN}"
```
-In this configuration:
+#### Private runners
-- Replace `<your_domain>` with your domain name.
-- Your scope is `<scope>`, without `@`.
-- Replace `<your_token>` with a deploy token, group access token, project access token, or personal access token.
+Add the `CI_JOB_TOKEN` to the `.yarnrc.yml` configuration in your package project
+root directory where `package.json` is found:
-### Publishing a package via the command line
+```yaml
+npmScopes:
+ esp-code:
+ npmPublishRegistry: "${CI_API_V4_URL}/projects/${CI_PROJECT_ID}/packages/npm/"
+ npmAlwaysAuth: true
+ npmAuthToken: "${CI_JOB_TOKEN}"
+```
-Publish a package:
+To publish the package using CI/CD pipeline, In the GitLab project that houses
+your `yarnrc.yml`, edit or create a `.gitlab-ci.yml` file. For example to trigger
+only on any tag push:
-```shell
-npm publish
-```
+```yaml
+# Yarn 1
+image: node:lts
-Your package should now publish to the Package Registry.
+stages:
+ - deploy
-### Publishing via a CI/CD pipeline
+rules:
+- if: $CI_COMMIT_TAG
-In the GitLab project that houses your `yarnrc.yml`, edit or create a `.gitlab-ci.yml` file. For example:
+deploy:
+ stage: deploy
+ script:
+ - yarn publish
+```
```yaml
-image: node:latest
+# Yarn 2+
+image: node:lts
stages:
- deploy
+rules:
+ - if: $CI_COMMIT_TAG
+
deploy:
stage: deploy
+ before_script:
+ - corepack enable
+ - yarn set version stable
script:
- - npm publish
+ - yarn npm publish
```
Your package should now publish to the Package Registry when the pipeline runs.
## Install a package

+ the scope for your package in the `.yarnrc.yml` file and by using the `publishConfig`
+ option in the `package.json`.
-WARNING:
-You must use packages published with the scoped [naming convention](#naming-convention) when you install a package from the instance level.
+- The value used for the `@scope` is the organization root (top-level project) `...com/my-org`
+ *(@my-org)* that hosts the packages, not the root of the project with the package's source code.
+- The scope is always lowercase.
+- The package name can be anything you want `@my-org/any-name`.

+and convert the JSON output to any required format.
+
+To export the raw data for a specific dimension, pass a list of dimensions to the `dimensions` key.
+For example, the following query outputs the raw data for the attributes listed:
+
+```json
+POST /api/v4/projects/PROJECT_ID/product_analytics/request/load?queryType=multi

+
+Achievements are a way to reward users for their activity on GitLab.
+As a namespace maintainer or owner, you can create custom achievements for specific contributions, which you can award to or revoke from users based on your criteria.
+
+As a user, you can collect achievements to highlight your contributions to different projects or groups on your profile.
+An achievement consists of a name, a description, and an avatar.
+
+![Achievements on user profile page](img/user_profile_achievements_v15_11.png)
+
+Achievements are considered to be owned by the user. They are visible regardless of the visibility setting of the namespace that created the Achievement.
+
+This feature is an Experiment.
+For more information about planned work, see [epic 9429](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/9429).

+
+## Types of achievement
+
+Programmatically, there is only one way to create, award, revoke, or delete achievements.
+
+Practically, you can differentiate between achievements that are awarded:
+
+- Once and irrevocable. For example, a "First contribution merged" achievement.
+- Once and revocable. For example, a "Core team member" achievement.
+- Multiple times. For example, a "Contributor of the month" achievement.
+
+## View a user's achievements
+
+You can view a user's achievements on their profile page.
+
+Prerequisites:
+
+- The user profile must be public.
+
+To view a user's achievements:
+
+1. Go to the user's profile page.
+1. Below the user's avatar, see their achievements.
+1. To view details about an achievement, hover over it.
+ It displays the following information:
+
+ - Name of the achievement
+ - Description of the achievement
+ - Date when the achievement was awarded to the user
+ - Namespace that awarded the achievement if the user is a member of the namespace or the namespace is public
+
+To retrieve a list of a user's achievements, query the [`user` GraphQL type](../../api/graphql/reference/index.md#user).
+
+```graphql
+query {
+ user(username: "<username>") {

+
+You can create custom achievements to award for specific contributions.
+
+Prerequisites:

-## Troubleshooting
+## Session duration
-### Why do you keep getting signed out?
+### Stay signed in for two weeks
-When you sign in to the main GitLab application, a `_gitlab_session` cookie is
-set. When you close your browser, the cookie is cleared client-side
-and it expires after a set duration. GitLab administrators can determine the duration:
+By default, you are signed out of GitLab after seven days (10080 minutes) of inactivity or until you close your browser
+window, whichever comes first.
-1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Admin**.
-1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > General**.
-1. Expand **Account and limit**. The set duration is in **Session duration (minutes)**.
+GitLab administrators can
+[change this default](../admin_area/settings/account_and_limit_settings.md#customize-the-default-session-duration).
-The default is `10080`, which equals 7 days.
+### Stay signed in indefinitely
-When you sign in to the main GitLab application, you can also check the
-**Remember me** option. This sets the `remember_user_token`
-cookie via [`devise`](https://github.com/heartcombo/devise).
-The `remember_user_token` cookie expires after
-`config/initializers/devise.rb` -> `config.remember_for`. The default is 2 weeks.
+> Ability to turn the **Remember me** setting on and off [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/369133) in GitLab 16.0.
-When the `_gitlab_session` expires or isn't available, GitLab uses the `remember_user_token`
-to get you a new `_gitlab_session` and keep you signed in through browser restarts.
+To remain signed in indefinitely, select the **Remember me** checkbox on the GitLab sign-in page.
-After your `remember_user_token` expires and your `_gitlab_session` is cleared/expired,
-you are asked to sign in again to verify your identity for security reasons.
+You remain signed in because, although the server sets a session time of one week, your browser stores a secure token
+that enables automatic reauthentication.
-NOTE:
-When any session is signed out, or when a session is revoked
-via [Active Sessions](active_sessions.md), all **Remember me** tokens are revoked.
-While other sessions remain active, the **Remember me** feature doesn't restore
-a session if the browser is closed or the existing session expires.
+GitLab administrators can [turn off the **Remember me** setting](../admin_area/settings/account_and_limit_settings.md#session-duration) for environments
+that require sessions to expire periodically for security or compliance purposes.
-### Increased sign-in time
+### Cookies used for sign-in
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/20340) in GitLab 13.1.
-The `remember_user_token` lifetime of a cookie can now extend beyond the deadline set by `config.remember_for`, as the `config.extend_remember_period` flag is now set to true.
+When you sign in, three cookies are set:
-GitLab uses both session and persistent cookies:
+- A session cookie called `_gitlab_session`.
+ This cookie has no set expiration date. However, it expires based on its `session_expire_delay`.
+- A session cookied called `about_gitlab_active_user`.
+ This cookie is used by the [marketing site](https://about.gitlab.com/) to determine if a user has an active GitLab session. No user information is passed to the cookie and it expires with the session.
+- A persistent cookie called `remember_user_token`, which is set only if you selected **Remember me** on the sign-in page.
-- Session cookie: Session cookies are typically removed at the end of the browser session when
- the browser is closed. The `_gitlab_session` cookie has no fixed expiration date. However,
- it expires based on its [`session_expire_delay`](#why-do-you-keep-getting-signed-out).
-- Persistent cookie: The `remember_user_token` is a cookie with an expiration date of two weeks.
- GitLab activates this cookie if you select **Remember Me** when you sign in.
+When you close your browser, the `_gitlab_session` and `about_gitlab_active_user` cookies are usually cleared client-side.
+When it expires or isn't available, GitLab:
-By default, the server sets a time-to-live (TTL) of 1-week on any session that is used.
+- Uses the `remember_user_token`cookie to get you a new `_gitlab_session` cookie and keep you signed in, even if you close your browser.
+- Sets the `about_gitlab_active_user` to `true`.
-When you close a browser, the session cookie may still remain. For example, Chrome has the "Continue where you left off" option that restores session cookies.
-In other words, as long as you access GitLab at least once every 2 weeks, you could remain signed in with GitLab, as long as your browser tab is open.
-The server continues to reset the TTL for that session, independent of whether 2FA is installed,
-If you close your browser and open it up again, the `remember_user_token` cookie allows your user to reauthenticate itself.
+When both the `remember_user_token` and `_gitlab_session` cookies are gone or expired, you must sign in again.
-Without the `config.extend_remember_period` flag, you would be forced to sign in again after two weeks.
+NOTE:
+When any session is signed out, or when a session is revoked
+from the [active sessions list](active_sessions.md), all **Remember me** tokens are revoked.
+While other sessions remain active, the **Remember me** feature doesn't restore
+a session if the browser is closed or the existing session expires.

-# Code Owners **(PREMIUM)**
+This document was moved to [another location](codeowners/index.md).
-> Moved to GitLab Premium in 13.9.
-
-Code Owners define who develops and maintains a feature, and own the resulting
-files or directories in a repository.
-
-- The users you define as Code Owners are displayed in the UI when you browse directories.
-- You can set your merge requests so they must be approved by Code Owners before merge.
-- You can protect a branch and allow only Code Owners to approve changes to the branch.
-
-<div class="video-fallback">
- Video introduction: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoyBySTUSB0">Code Owners</a>.

-<figure class="video-container">

-
-Use Code Owners and approvers together with
-[approval rules](merge_requests/approvals/rules.md) to build a flexible approval
-workflow:
-
-- Use **Code Owners** to define the users who have domain expertise for specific paths in your repository.
-- Use **Approvers** and **Approval rules** to define domains of expertise (such as a security team)
- that are not scoped to specific file paths in your repository.
- - **Approvers** define the users.
- - **Approval rules** define when these users can approve work, and whether or not their approval is required.
-
-For example:
-
-| Type | Name | Scope | Comment |
-|------|------|--------|------------|
-| Approval rule | UX | All files | A user experience (UX) team member reviews the user experience of all changes made in your project. |
-| Approval rule | Security | All files | A security team member reviews all changes for vulnerabilities. |
-| Code Owner approval rule | Frontend: Code Style | `*.css` files | A frontend engineer reviews CSS file changes for adherence to project style standards. |
-| Code Owner approval rule | Backend: Code Review | `*.rb` files | A backend engineer reviews the logic and code style of Ruby files. |
-
-## Code Owners file
-
-A `CODEOWNERS` file (with no extension) can specify users or [shared groups](members/share_project_with_groups.md)
-that are responsible for specific files and directories in a repository. Each repository
-can have a single `CODEOWNERS` file, and it must be found one of these three locations:
-
-- In the root directory of the repository.
-- In the `.gitlab/` directory.
-- In the `docs/` directory.
-
-A CODEOWNERS file in any other location is ignored.
-
-## Set up Code Owners
-
-1. Create a file named `CODEOWNERS` (with no extension) in one of these locations:
-
-- In the root directory of the repository
-- In the `.gitlab/` directory
-- In the `docs/` directory
-
-1. In the file, enter text that follows one of these patterns:
-
- ```plaintext
- # Code Owners for a file
- filename @username1 @username2
-
- # Code Owners for a directory
- directoryname/ @username1 @username2
-
- # All group members as Code Owners for a file
- filename @groupname
-
- # All group members as Code Owners for a directory
- directoryname/ @groupname
- ```
-
-The Code Owners are now displayed in the UI. They apply to the current branch only.
-
-Next steps:
-
-- [Add Code Owners as merge request approvers](merge_requests/approvals/rules.md#code-owners-as-eligible-approvers).
-- Set up [Code Owner approval on a protected branch](protected_branches.md#require-code-owner-approval-on-a-protected-branch).
-
-## Groups as Code Owners
-
-> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/53182) in GitLab 12.1.
-> - Group and subgroup hierarchy support was [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/32432) in GitLab 13.0.
-
-You can use members of groups and subgroups as Code Owners for projects:
-
-```mermaid
-graph TD
- A[Parent group X] -->|owns| B[Project A]
- A -->|contains| C[Subgroup Y]
- C -->|owns| D[Project B]
- A-. inherits ownership .-> D
-```
-
-In this example:
-
-- **Parent group X** (`group-x`) owns **Project A**.
-- **Parent group X** also contains a subgroup, **Subgroup Y**. (`group-x/subgroup-y`)
-- **Subgroup Y** owns **Project B**.
-
-The eligible Code Owners are:
-
-- **Project A**: the members of **Group X** only, because **Project A** doesn't belong to **Subgroup Y**.
-- **Project B**: the members of both **Group X** and **Subgroup Y**.
-
-You can [invite](members/share_project_with_groups.md) **Subgroup Y** to **Project A**
-so that their members also become eligible Code Owners.
-
-```mermaid
-graph LR
- A[Parent group X] -->|owns| B[Project A]
- A -->|also contains| C[Subgroup Y]
- C -.->D{Invite Subgroup Y<br/>to Project A?} -.->|yes| F[Approvals can be<br/> required] -.-> B
- D{Invite Subgroup Y<br/>to Project A?} -.->|no| I[Subgroup Y cannot be<br /> an approver] -.-> B
- C -.->E{Add Subgroup Y<br/>as Code Owners<br/>to Project A?} -.->|yes| H[Approvals can only<br/>be optional] -.-> B
-```
-
-If you do not invite **Subgroup Y** to **Project A**, but make them Code Owners, their approval
-of the merge request becomes optional.
-
-Inviting **Subgroup Y** to a parent group of **Project A**
-[is not supported](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/288851). To set **Subgroup Y** as
-Code Owners, add this group directly to the project itself.
-
-NOTE:
-For approval to be required, groups as Code Owners must have a direct membership
-(not inherited membership) in the project. Approval can only be optional for groups
-that inherit membership. Members in the Code Owners group also must be direct members,
-and not inherit membership from any parent groups.
-
-### Add a group as a Code Owner
-
-To set a group as a Code Owner:
-
-In the `CODEOWNERS` file, enter text that follows one of these patterns:
-
-```plaintext
-# All group members as Code Owners for a file
-file.md @group-x
-
-# All subgroup members as Code Owners for a file
-file.md @group-x/subgroup-y
-
-# All group and subgroup members as Code Owners for a file
-file.md @group-x @group-x/subgroup-y
-```
-
-## When a file matches multiple `CODEOWNERS` entries
-
-When a file matches multiple entries in the `CODEOWNERS` file,
-the users from last pattern matching the file are used.
-
-For example, in the following `CODEOWNERS` file:
-
-```plaintext
-README.md @user1
-
-# This line would also match the file README.md
-*.md @user2
-```
-
-The Code Owner for `README.md` would be `@user2`.
-
-If you use sections, the last pattern matching the file for each section is used.
-For example, in a `CODEOWNERS` file using sections:
-
-```plaintext
-[README Owners]
-README.md @user1 @user2
-internal/README.md @user4
-
-[README other owners]
-README.md @user3
-```
-
-The Code Owners for the `README.md` in the root directory are `@user1`, `@user2`,
-and `@user3`. The Code Owners for `internal/README.md` are `@user4` and `@user3`.
-
-Only one CODEOWNERS pattern can match per file path.
-
-### Organize Code Owners by putting them into sections
-
-> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/12137) in GitLab 13.2 [with a flag](../../administration/feature_flags.md) named `sectional_codeowners`. Disabled by default.
-> - [Generally available](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/42389) in GitLab 13.4. Feature flag `sectional_codeowners` removed.
-
-You can organize Code Owners by putting them into named sections.
-
-You can use sections for shared directories, so that multiple
-teams can be reviewers.
-
-To add a section to the `CODEOWNERS` file, enter a section name in brackets,
-followed by the files or directories, and users, groups, or subgroups:
-
-```plaintext
-[README Owners]
-README.md @user1 @user2
-internal/README.md @user2
-```
-
-Each Code Owner in the merge request widget is listed under a label.
-The following image shows a **Groups** and **Documentation** section:
-
-![MR widget - Sectional Code Owners](img/sectional_code_owners_v13.2.png)
-
-### Sections with duplicate names
-
-If multiple sections have the same name, they are combined.
-Also, section headings are not case-sensitive. For example:
-
-```plaintext
-[Documentation]
-ee/docs/ @docs
-docs/ @docs
-
-[Database]
-README.md @database
-model/db/ @database
-
-[DOCUMENTATION]
-README.md @docs
-```
-
-This code results in three entries under the **Documentation** section header, and two
-entries under **Database**. The entries defined under the sections **Documentation** and
-**DOCUMENTATION** are combined, using the case of the first section.
-
-### Make a Code Owners section optional
-
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/232995) in GitLab 13.8.
-
-You can designate optional sections in your Code Owners file. Prepend the
-section name with the caret `^` character to treat the entire section as optional.
-Optional sections enable you to designate responsible parties for various parts
-of your codebase, but not require approval from them. This approach provides
-a more relaxed policy for parts of your project that are frequently updated,
-but don't require stringent reviews.
-
-In this example, the `[Go]` section is optional:
-
-```plaintext
-[Documentation]
-*.md @root
-
-[Ruby]
-*.rb @root
-
-^[Go]
-*.go @root
-```
-
-The optional Code Owners section displays in merge requests under the **Approval Rules** area:
-
-![MR widget - Optional Code Owners sections](img/optional_code_owners_sections_v13_8.png)
-
-If a section is duplicated in the file, and one of them is marked as optional and the other isn't, the section is required.
-
-Optional sections in the `CODEOWNERS` file are treated as optional only
-when changes are submitted by using merge requests. If a change is submitted directly
-to the protected branch, approval from Code Owners is still required, even if the
-section is marked as optional.
-
-### Allowed to Push
-
-The Code Owner approval and protected branch features do not apply to users who
-are **Allowed to push**.
-
-## Example `CODEOWNERS` file
-
-```plaintext
-# This is an example of a CODEOWNERS file.
-# Lines that start with `#` are ignored.
-
-# app/ @commented-rule
-
-# Specify a default Code Owner by using a wildcard:
-* @default-codeowner
-
-# Specify multiple Code Owners by using a tab or space:
-* @multiple @code @owners
-
-# Rules defined later in the file take precedence over the rules
-# defined before.
-# For example, for all files with a filename ending in `.rb`:
-*.rb @ruby-owner
-
-# Files with a `#` can still be accessed by escaping the pound sign:
-\#file_with_pound.rb @owner-file-with-pound
-
-# Specify multiple Code Owners separated by spaces or tabs.
-# In the following case the CODEOWNERS file from the root of the repo
-# has 3 Code Owners (@multiple @code @owners):
-CODEOWNERS @multiple @code @owners
-
-# You can use both usernames or email addresses to match
-# users. Everything else is ignored. For example, this code
-# specifies the `@legal` and a user with email `janedoe@gitlab.com` as the
-# owner for the LICENSE file:
-LICENSE @legal this_does_not_match janedoe@gitlab.com
-
-# Use group names to match groups, and nested groups to specify
-# them as owners for a file:
-README @group @group/with-nested/subgroup
-
-# End a path in a `/` to specify the Code Owners for every file
-# nested in that directory, on any level:
-/docs/ @all-docs
-
-# End a path in `/*` to specify Code Owners for every file in
-# a directory, but not nested deeper. This code matches
-# `docs/index.md` but not `docs/projects/index.md`:
-/docs/* @root-docs
-
-# Include `/**` to specify Code Owners for all subdirectories
-# in a directory. This rule matches `docs/projects/index.md` or
-# `docs/development/index.md`
-/docs/**/*.md @root-docs
-
-# This code makes matches a `lib` directory nested anywhere in the repository:
-lib/ @lib-owner
-
-# This code match only a `config` directory in the root of the repository:
-/config/ @config-owner
-
-# If the path contains spaces, escape them like this:
-path\ with\ spaces/ @space-owner
-
-# Code Owners section:
-[Documentation]
-ee/docs @docs
-docs @docs
-
-[Database]
-README.md @database
-model/db @database
-
-# This section is combined with the previously defined [Documentation] section:
-[DOCUMENTATION]
-README.md @docs
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Approvals shown as optional
-
-A Code Owner approval rule is optional if any of these conditions are true:
-
-- The user or group are not a member of the project. Code Owners [cannot inherit from parent groups](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/288851/).
-- [Code Owner approval on a protected branch](protected_branches.md#require-code-owner-approval-on-a-protected-branch) has not been set up.
-- The section is [marked as optional](#make-a-code-owners-section-optional).
-
-### Approvals do not show
-
-Code Owner approval rules only update when the merge request is created.
-If you update the `CODEOWNERS` file, close the merge request and create a new one.
-
-### User not shown as possible approver
-
-A user might not show as an approver on the Code Owner merge request approval rules
-if any of these conditions are true:
-
-- A rule prevents the specific user from approving the merge request.
- Check the project [merge request approval](merge_requests/approvals/settings.md#edit-merge-request-approval-settings) settings.
-- A Code Owner group has a visibility of **private**, and the current user is not a
- member of the Code Owner group.

+# Code Owners **(PREMIUM)**
+
+> Moved to GitLab Premium in 13.9.
+
+Use the Code Owners feature to define who has expertise for specific parts of your project's codebase.
+Define the owners of files and directories in a repository to:
+
+- **Require owners to approve changes.** Combine protected branches with Code Owners to require
+ experts to approve merge requests before they merge into a protected branch.
+- **Identify owners.** Code Owner names are displayed on the files and directories they own:
+ ![Code Owners displayed in UI](../img/codeowners_in_UI_v15_10.png)
+
+Use Code Owners in combination with merge request
+[approval rules](../merge_requests/approvals/rules.md) (either optional or required)
+to build a flexible approval workflow:
+
+- Use **Code Owners** to ensure quality. Define the users who have domain expertise
+ for specific paths in your repository.
+- Use **Approval rules** to define areas of expertise that don't correspond to specific
+ file paths in your repository. Approval rules help guide merge request creators to
+ the correct set of reviewers, such as frontend developers or a security team.
+
+For example:
+
+| Type | Name | Scope | Comment |
+|------|------|--------|------------|
+| Approval rule | UX | All files | A user experience (UX) team member reviews the user experience of all changes made in your project.
+| Approval rule | Security | All files | A security team member reviews all changes for vulnerabilities.
+| Code Owner approval rule | Frontend: Code Style | `*.css` files | A frontend engineer reviews CSS file changes for adherence to project style standards.
+| Code Owner approval rule | Backend: Code Review | `*.rb` files | A backend engineer reviews the logic and code style of Ruby files.

+
+## View Code Owners of a file or directory
+
+To view the Code Owners of a file or directory:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Repository > Files**.
+1. Go to the file or directory you want to see the Code Owners for.
+1. Optional. Select a branch or tag.
+
+GitLab shows the Code Owners at the top of the page.
+
+## Set up Code Owners
+
+1. Create a `CODEOWNERS` file in your [preferred location](#code-owners-file).
+1. Define some rules in the file following the [Code Owners syntax reference](reference.md).
+ Some suggestions:
+ - Configure [All eligible approvers](../merge_requests/approvals/rules.md#code-owners-as-eligible-approvers) approval rule.
+ - [Require Code Owner approval](../protected_branches.md#require-code-owner-approval-on-a-protected-branch) on a protected branch.
+1. Commit your changes, and push them up to GitLab.
+
+### Code Owners file
+
+A `CODEOWNERS` file (with no extension) specifies the users or
+[shared groups](../members/share_project_with_groups.md) responsible for
+specific files and directories in a repository.
+
+Each repository uses a single `CODEOWNERS` file. GitLab checks these locations
+in your repository in this order. The first `CODEOWNERS` file found is used, and
+all others are ignored:
+
+1. In the root directory: `./CODEOWNERS`.
+1. In the `docs` directory: `./docs/CODEOWNERS`.
+1. In the `.gitlab` directory: `./.gitlab/CODEOWNERS`.
+
+### Add a group as a Code Owner
+
+> Group and subgroup hierarchy support was [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/32432) in GitLab 13.0.
+
+To set the members of a group or subgroup as a Code Owner:
+
+In the `CODEOWNERS` file, enter text that follows one of these patterns:
+
+```plaintext
+# All group members as Code Owners for a file
+file.md @group-x
+
+# All subgroup members as Code Owners for a file
+file.md @group-x/subgroup-y
+
+# All group and subgroup members as Code Owners for a file
+file.md @group-x @group-x/subgroup-y
+```
+
+#### Group inheritance and eligibility
+
+> Group and subgroup hierarchy support was [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/32432) in GitLab 13.0.
+
+```mermaid
+graph TD
+ A[Parent group X] -->|owns| B[Project A]
+ A -->|contains| C[Subgroup Y]
+ C -->|owns| D[Project B]
+ A-. inherits ownership .-> D
+```
+
+In this example:
+
+- **Parent group X** (`group-x`) owns **Project A**.
+- **Parent group X** also contains a subgroup, **Subgroup Y**. (`group-x/subgroup-y`)
+- **Subgroup Y** owns **Project B**.
+
+The eligible Code Owners are:
+
+- **Project A**: the members of **Group X** only, because **Project A** doesn't belong to **Subgroup Y**.
+- **Project B**: the members of both **Group X** and **Subgroup Y**.
+
+##### Inviting subgroups to projects in parent groups
+
+You can [invite](../members/share_project_with_groups.md) **Subgroup Y** to **Project A**
+so that their members also become eligible Code Owners.
+
+```mermaid
+graph LR
+ A[Parent group X] -->|owns| B[Project A]
+ A -->|also contains| C[Subgroup Y]
+ C -.->D{Invite Subgroup Y<br/>to Project A?} -.->|yes| E[Members of Subgroup Y<br/>can submit Approvals]
+ D{Invite Subgroup Y<br/>to Project A?} -.->|no| F[Members of Subgroup Y<br />cannot submit Approvals]
+ E -.->|Add Subgroup Y<br/> as Code Owner to Project A| I[Approvals can be<br/>required] -.-> B
+ F -.-> |Add Subgroup Y<br/> as Code Owners to Project A| J[Approvals can only<br/>be optional] -.-> B
+```
+
+If you do not invite **Subgroup Y** to **Project A**, but make them Code Owners, their approval
+of the merge request becomes optional.
+
+##### Inviting subgroups to parent groups
+
+Inviting **Subgroup Y** to a parent group of **Project A**
+[is not supported](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/288851). To set **Subgroup Y** as
+Code Owners [invite this group directly to the project](#inviting-subgroups-to-projects-in-parent-groups) itself.
+
+NOTE:
+For approval to be required, groups as Code Owners must have a direct membership
+(not inherited membership) in the project. Approval can only be optional for groups
+that inherit membership. Members in the Code Owners group also must be direct members,
+and not inherit membership from any parent groups.
+
+### Define more specific owners for more specifically defined files or directories
+
+When a file or directory matches multiple entries in the `CODEOWNERS` file,
+the users from last pattern matching the file or directory are used. This enables you
+to define more specific owners for more specifically defined files or directories, when
+you order the entries in a sensible way.
+
+For example, in the following `CODEOWNERS` file:
+
+```plaintext
+# This line would match the file terms.md
+*.md @doc-team
+
+# This line would also match the file terms.md
+terms.md @legal-team
+```
+
+The Code Owner for `terms.md` would be `@legal-team`.
+
+If you use sections, the last pattern matching the file or directory for each section is used.
+For example, in a `CODEOWNERS` file using sections:
+
+```plaintext
+[README Owners]
+README.md @user1 @user2
+internal/README.md @user4
+
+[README other owners]
+README.md @user3
+```
+
+The Code Owners for the `README.md` in the root directory are `@user1`, `@user2`,
+and `@user3`. The Code Owners for `internal/README.md` are `@user4` and `@user3`.
+
+Only one CODEOWNERS pattern per section is matched to a file path.
+
+### Organize Code Owners by putting them into sections
+
+> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/12137) in GitLab 13.2 [with a flag](../../../administration/feature_flags.md) named `sectional_codeowners`. Disabled by default.
+> - [Generally available](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/42389) in GitLab 13.4. Feature flag `sectional_codeowners` removed.
+
+You can organize Code Owners by putting them into named sections.
+
+You can use sections for shared directories, so that multiple
+teams can be reviewers.
+
+To add a section to the `CODEOWNERS` file, enter a section name in brackets,
+followed by the files or directories, and users, groups, or subgroups:
+
+```plaintext
+[README Owners]
+README.md @user1 @user2
+internal/README.md @user2
+```
+
+Each Code Owner in the merge request widget is listed under a label.
+The following image shows a **Groups** and **Documentation** section:
+
+![MR widget - Sectional Code Owners](../img/sectional_code_owners_v13.2.png)
+
+#### Set default owner for a section
+
+> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/371711) in GitLab 15.11 [with a flag](../../../administration/feature_flags.md) named `codeowners_default_owners`. Disabled by default.
+> - [Generally available](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/115888) in GitLab 15.11. Feature flag `codeowners_default_owners` removed.
+
+If multiple file paths inside a section share the same ownership, define a default
+Code Owner for the section. All paths in that section inherit this default, unless
+you override the section default on a specific line.
+
+Default owners are applied when specific owners are not specified for file paths.
+Specific owners defined beside the file path override default owners:
+
+```plaintext
+[Documentation] @docs-team
+docs/
+README.md
+
+[Database] @database-team
+model/db/
+config/db/database-setup.md @docs-team
+```
+
+In this example:
+
+- `@docs-team` owns all items in the `Documentation` section.
+- `@database-team` owns all items in the `Database` section except
+ `config/db/database-setup.md`, which has an override assigning it to `@docs-team`.
+
+To combine the syntax for default owners with [optional sections](#make-a-code-owners-section-optional)
+and required approvals, place default owners at the end:
+
+```plaintext
+[Documentation][2] @docs-team
+docs/
+README.md
+
+^[Database] @database-team
+model/db/
+config/db/database-setup.md @docs-team
+```
+
+#### Sections with duplicate names
+
+If multiple sections have the same name, they are combined.
+Also, section headings are not case-sensitive. For example:
+
+```plaintext
+[Documentation]
+ee/docs/ @docs
+docs/ @docs
+
+[Database]
+README.md @database
+model/db/ @database
+
+[DOCUMENTATION]
+README.md @docs
+```
+
+This code results in three entries under the **Documentation** section header, and two
+entries under **Database**. The entries defined under the sections **Documentation** and
+**DOCUMENTATION** are combined, using the case of the first section.
+
+#### Make a Code Owners section optional
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/232995) in GitLab 13.8.
+
+You can designate optional sections in your Code Owners file. Prepend the
+section name with the caret `^` character to treat the entire section as optional.
+Optional sections enable you to designate responsible parties for various parts
+of your codebase, but not require approval from them. This approach provides
+a more relaxed policy for parts of your project that are frequently updated,
+but don't require stringent reviews.
+
+In this example, the `[Go]` section is optional:
+
+```plaintext
+[Documentation]
+*.md @root
+
+[Ruby]
+*.rb @root
+
+^[Go]
+*.go @root
+```
+
+The optional Code Owners section displays in merge requests under the **Approval Rules** area:
+
+![MR widget - Optional Code Owners sections](../img/optional_code_owners_sections_v13_8.png)
+
+If a section is duplicated in the file, and one of them is marked as optional and the other isn't, the section is required.
+
+Optional sections in the `CODEOWNERS` file are treated as optional only
+when changes are submitted by using merge requests. If a change is submitted directly
+to the protected branch, approval from Code Owners is still required, even if the
+section is marked as optional.
+
+### Require multiple approvals from Code Owners
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/335451) in GitLab 15.9.
+
+You can require multiple approvals for the Code Owners sections under the Approval Rules area in merge requests.
+Append the section name with a number `n` in brackets. This requires `n` approvals from the Code Owners in this section.
+Please note valid entries for `n` are integers `≥ 1`. `[1]` is optional as it is the default. Invalid values for `n` are treated as `1`.
+
+WARNING:
+[Issue #384881](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/385881) proposes changes
+to the behavior of this setting. Do not intentionally set invalid values. They may
+become valid in the future, and cause unexpected behavior.
+
+Please confirm you enabled `Require approval from code owners` in `Settings > Repository > Protected branches`, otherwise the Code Owner approvals will be optional.
+
+In this example, the `[Documentation]` section requires 2 approvals:
+
+```plaintext
+[Documentation][2]
+*.md @tech-writer-team
+
+[Ruby]
+*.rb @dev-team
+```
+
+The `Documentation` Code Owners section under the **Approval Rules** area displays 2 approvals are required:
+
+![MR widget - Multiple Approval Code Owners sections](../img/multi_approvals_code_owners_sections_v15_9.png)
+
+### Allowed to Push
+
+The Code Owner approval and protected branch features do not apply to users who
+are **Allowed to push**.
+
+## Technical Resources
+
+[Code Owners development guidelines](../../../development/code_owners/index.md)
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+For more information about how the Code Owners feature handles errors, see the
+[Code Owners reference](reference.md).
+
+### Approvals shown as optional
+
+A Code Owner approval rule is optional if any of these conditions are true:
+
+- The user or group are not a member of the project. Code Owners [cannot inherit from parent groups](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/288851/).
+- [Code Owner approval on a protected branch](../protected_branches.md#require-code-owner-approval-on-a-protected-branch) has not been set up.
+- The section is [marked as optional](#make-a-code-owners-section-optional).
+
+### Approvals do not show
+
+Code Owner approval rules only update when the merge request is created.
+If you update the `CODEOWNERS` file, close the merge request and create a new one.
+
+### User not shown as possible approver
+
+A user might not show as an approver on the Code Owner merge request approval rules
+if any of these conditions are true:
+
+- A rule prevents the specific user from approving the merge request.
+ Check the project [merge request approval](../merge_requests/approvals/settings.md#edit-merge-request-approval-settings) settings.
+- A Code Owner group has a visibility of **private**, and the current user is not a
+ member of the Code Owner group.
+- Current user is an external user who does not have permission to the internal Code Owner group.
+
+### Approval rule is invalid. GitLab has approved this rule automatically to unblock the merge request
+
+This message may appear if an approval rule uses a Code Owner that is not a direct member of the project.
+Check that the group or user has been invited to the project.

+# Code Owners syntax and error handling **(PREMIUM)**
+
+This page describes the syntax and error handling used in Code Owners files,
+and provides an example file.
+
+## Code Owners syntax
+
+### Comments
+
+Lines beginning with `#` are ignored:
+
+```plaintext
+# This is a comment
+```
+
+### Sections
+
+Sections are groups of entries. A section begins with a section heading in square brackets, followed by the entries.
+
+```plaintext
+[Section name]
+/path/of/protected/file.rb @username
+/path/of/protected/dir/ @group
+```
+
+#### Section headings
+
+Section headings must always have a name. They can also be made optional, or
+require a number of approvals. A list of default owners can be added to the section heading line.
+
+```plaintext
+# Required section
+[Section name]
+
+# Optional section
+^[Section name]
+
+# Section requiring 5 approvals
+[Section name][5]
+
+# Section with @username as default owner
+[Section name] @username
+
+# Section with @group and @subgroup as default owners and requiring 2 approvals
+[Section name][2] @group @subgroup
+```
+
+#### Section names
+
+Sections names are defined between square brackets. Section names are not case-sensitive.
+[Sections with duplicate names](index.md#sections-with-duplicate-names) are combined.
+
+```plaintext
+[Section name]
+```
+
+#### Required sections
+
+Required sections do not include `^` before the [section name](#section-names).
+
+```plaintext
+[Required section]
+```
+
+#### Optional sections
+
+Optional sections include a `^` before the [section name](#section-names).
+
+```plaintext
+^[Optional section]
+```
+
+#### Sections requiring multiple approvals
+
+Sections requiring multiple approvals include the number of approvals in square brackets after the [section name](#section-names).
+
+```plaintext
+[Section requiring 5 approvals][5]
+```
+
+NOTE:
+Optional sections ignore the number of approvals required.
+
+#### Sections with default owners
+
+You can define a default owner for the entries in a section by appending the owners to the [section heading](#section-headings).
+
+```plaintext
+# Section with @username as default owner
+[Section name] @username
+
+# Section with @group and @subgroup as default owners and requiring 2 approvals
+[Section name][2] @group @subgroup
+```
+
+### Code Owner entries
+
+Each Code Owner entry includes a path followed by one or more owners.
+
+```plaintext
+README.md @username1
+```
+
+NOTE:
+If an entry is duplicated in a section, [the last entry is used from each section.](index.md#define-more-specific-owners-for-more-specifically-defined-files-or-directories)
+
+### Relative paths
+
+If a path does not start with a `/`, the path is treated as if it starts with
+a [globstar](#globstar-paths). `README.md` is treated the same way as `/**/README.md`:
+
+```plaintext
+# This will match /README.md, /internal/README.md, /app/lib/README.md
+README.md @username
+
+# This will match /internal/README.md, /docs/internal/README.md, /docs/api/internal/README.md
+internal/README.md
+```
+
+### Absolute paths
+
+If a path starts with a `/` it matches the root of the repository.
+
+```plaintext
+# Matches only the file named `README.md` in the root of the repository.
+/README.md
+
+# Matches only the file named `README.md` inside the `/docs` directory.
+/docs/README.md
+```
+
+### Directory paths
+
+If a path ends with `/`, the path matches any file in the directory.
+
+```plaintext
+# This is the same as `/docs/**/*`
+/docs/
+```
+
+### Wildcard paths
+
+Wildcards can be used to match one of more characters of a path.
+
+```plaintext
+# Any markdown files in the docs directory
+/docs/*.md @username
+
+# /docs/index file of any filetype
+# For example: /docs/index.md, /docs/index.html, /docs/index.xml
+/docs/index.* @username
+
+# Any file in the docs directory with 'spec' in the name.
+# For example: /docs/qa_specs.rb, /docs/spec_helpers.rb, /docs/runtime.spec
+/docs/*spec* @username
+
+# README.md files one level deep within the docs directory
+# For example: /docs/api/README.md
+/docs/*/README.md @username
+```
+
+### Globstar paths
+
+Globstars (`**`) can be used to match zero or more directories and subdirectories.
+
+```plaintext
+# This will match /docs/index.md, /docs/api/index.md, /docs/api/graphql/index.md
+/docs/**/index.md
+```
+
+### Entry owners
+
+Entries must be followed by one or more owner. These can be groups, subgroups,
+and users. Order of owners is not important.
+
+```plaintext
+/path/to/entry.rb @group
+/path/to/entry.rb @group/subgroup
+/path/to/entry.rb @user
+/path/to/entry.rb @group @group/subgroup @user
+```
+
+#### Groups as entry owners
+
+Groups and subgroups can be owners of an entry.
+Each entry can be owned by [one or more owners](#entry-owners).
+For more details see the [Add a group as a Code Owner](index.md#add-a-group-as-a-code-owner).
+
+```plaintext
+/path/to/entry.rb @group
+/path/to/entry.rb @group/subgroup
+/path/to/entry.rb @group @group/subgroup
+```
+
+### Users as entry owners
+
+Users can be owners of an entry. Each entry can be owned by
+[one or more owners](#entry-owners).
+
+```plaintext
+/path/to/entry.rb @username1
+/path/to/entry.rb @username1 @username2
+```
+
+## Error handling in Code Owners
+
+### Entries with spaces
+
+Paths containing whitespace must be escaped with backslashes: `path\ with\ spaces/*.md`.
+Without the backslashes, the path after the first whitespace is parsed as an owner.
+GitLab the parses `folder with spaces/*.md @group` into
+`path: "folder", owners: " with spaces/*.md @group"`.
+
+### Unparsable sections
+
+If a section heading cannot be parsed, the section is:
+
+1. Parsed as an entry.
+1. Added to the previous section.
+1. If no previous section exists, the section is added to the default section.
+
+For example, this file is missing a square closing bracket:
+
+```plaintext
+* @group
+
+[Section name
+docs/ @docs_group
+```
+
+GitLab recognizes the heading `[Section name` as an entry. The default section includes 3 rules:
+
+- Default section
+ - `*` owned by `@group`
+ - `[Section` owned by `name`
+ - `docs/` owned by `@docs_group`
+
+This file contains an unescaped space between the words `Section` and `name`.
+GitLab recognizes the intended heading as an entry:
+
+```plaintext
+[Docs]
+docs/**/* @group
+
+[Section name]{2} @group
+docs/ @docs_group
+```
+
+The `[Docs]` section then includes 3 rules:
+
+- `docs/**/*` owned by `@group`
+- `[Section` owned by `name]{2} @group`
+- `docs/` owned by `@docs_group`
+
+### Malformed owners
+
+Each entry must contain 1 or more owners to be valid, malformed owners are ignored.
+For example `/path/* @group user_without_at_symbol @user_with_at_symbol`
+is owned by `@group` and `@user_with_at_symbol`.
+
+### Inaccessible or incorrect owners
+
+Inaccessible or incorrect owners are ignored. For example, if `@group`, `@username`,
+and `example@gitlab.com` are accessible on the project and we create an entry:
+
+```plaintext
+* @group @grou @username @i_left @i_dont_exist example@gitlab.com invalid@gitlab.com
+```
+
+GitLab ignores `@grou`, `@i_left`, `@i_dont_exist`, and `invalid@gitlab.com`.
+
+For more information on who is accessible, see [Add a group as a Code Owner](index.md#add-a-group-as-a-code-owner).
+
+### Zero owners
+
+If an entry includes no owners, or zero [accessible owners](#inaccessible-or-incorrect-owners)
+exist, the entry is invalid. Because this rule can never be satisfied, GitLab
+auto-approves it in merge requests.
+
+NOTE:
+When a protected branch has `Require code owner approval` enabled, rules with
+zero owners are still honored.
+
+### Less than 1 required approval
+
+When [defining the number of approvals](index.md#require-multiple-approvals-from-code-owners) for a section,
+the minimum number of approvals is `1`. Setting the number of approvals to
+`0` results in GitLab requiring one approval.
+
+## Example `CODEOWNERS` file
+
+```plaintext
+# This is an example of a CODEOWNERS file.
+# Lines that start with `#` are ignored.
+
+# app/ @commented-rule
+
+# Specify a default Code Owner by using a wildcard:
+* @default-codeowner
+
+# Specify multiple Code Owners by using a tab or space:
+* @multiple @code @owners
+
+# Rules defined later in the file take precedence over the rules
+# defined before.
+# For example, for all files with a filename ending in `.rb`:
+*.rb @ruby-owner
+
+# Files with a `#` can still be accessed by escaping the pound sign:
+\#file_with_pound.rb @owner-file-with-pound
+
+# Specify multiple Code Owners separated by spaces or tabs.
+# In the following case the CODEOWNERS file from the root of the repo
+# has 3 Code Owners (@multiple @code @owners):
+CODEOWNERS @multiple @code @owners
+
+# You can use both usernames or email addresses to match
+# users. Everything else is ignored. For example, this code
+# specifies the `@legal` and a user with email `janedoe@gitlab.com` as the
+# owner for the LICENSE file:
+LICENSE @legal this_does_not_match janedoe@gitlab.com
+
+# Use group names to match groups, and nested groups to specify
+# them as owners for a file:
+README @group @group/with-nested/subgroup
+
+# End a path in a `/` to specify the Code Owners for every file
+# nested in that directory, on any level:
+/docs/ @all-docs
+
+# End a path in `/*` to specify Code Owners for every file in
+# a directory, but not nested deeper. This code matches
+# `docs/index.md` but not `docs/projects/index.md`:
+/docs/* @root-docs
+
+# Include `/**` to specify Code Owners for all subdirectories
+# in a directory. This rule matches `docs/projects/index.md` or
+# `docs/development/index.md`
+/docs/**/*.md @root-docs
+
+# This code makes matches a `lib` directory nested anywhere in the repository:
+lib/ @lib-owner
+
+# This code match only a `config` directory in the root of the repository:
+/config/ @config-owner
+
+# If the path contains spaces, escape them like this:
+path\ with\ spaces/ @space-owner
+
+# Code Owners section:
+[Documentation]
+ee/docs @docs
+docs @docs
+
+# Use of default owners for a section. In this case, all files (*) are owned by
+the dev team except the README.md and data-models which are owned by other teams.
+[Development] @dev-team
+*
+README.md @docs-team
+data-models/ @data-science-team
+
+# This section is combined with the previously defined [Documentation] section:
+[DOCUMENTATION]
+README.md @docs

To define these attributes, create a file called `.gitattributes` in the root
directory of your repository and push it to the default branch of your project.
-## Encoding Requirements
+## Encoding requirements
The `.gitattributes` file _must_ be encoded in UTF-8 and _must not_ contain a
Byte Order Mark. If a different encoding is used, the file's contents are
ignored.
-## Syntax Highlighting
+## Support for mixed file encodings
+
+GitLab attempts to detect the encoding of files automatically, but defaults to UTF-8 unless
+the detector is confident of a different type (such as `ISO-8859-1`). Incorrect encoding
+detection can result in some characters not displaying in the text, such as accented characters in a
+non-UTF-8 encoding.
+
+Git has built-in support for handling this eventuality and automatically converts files between
+a designated encoding and UTF-8 for the repository itself. Configure support for mixed file encoding in the `.gitattributes`
+file using the `working-tree-encoding` attribute.
+
+Example:
+
+```plaintext
+*.xhtml text working-tree-encoding=ISO-8859-1
+```
+
+With this example configuration, Git maintains all `.xhtml` files in the repository in ISO-8859-1
+encoding in the local tree, but converts to and from UTF-8 when committing into the repository. GitLab
+renders the files accurately as it only sees correctly encoded UTF-8.
+
+If applying this configuration to an existing repository, files may need to be touched and recommitted
+if the local copy has the correct encoding but the repository does not. This can
+be performed for the whole repository by running `git add --renormalize .`.
+

+
+> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/111621) in GitLab 15.10 [with a flag](../../../administration/feature_flags.md) named `google_play_integration`. Disabled by default.
+> - [Generally available](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/389611) in GitLab 15.11. Feature flag `google_play_integration` removed.
+
+This feature is part of [Mobile DevOps](../../../ci/mobile_devops.md) developed by [GitLab Incubation Engineering](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/incubation/).
+The feature is still in development, but you can:
+
+- [Request a feature](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/incubation-engineering/mobile-devops/feedback/-/issues/new?issuable_template=feature_request).
+- [Report a bug](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/incubation-engineering/mobile-devops/feedback/-/issues/new?issuable_template=report_bug).
+- [Share feedback](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/incubation-engineering/mobile-devops/feedback/-/issues/new?issuable_template=general_feedback).
+
+With the Google Play integration, you can configure your CI/CD pipelines to connect to the [Google Play Console](https://play.google.com/console) to build and release apps for Android devices.
+
+The Google Play integration works out of the box with [fastlane](https://fastlane.tools/). You can also use this integration with other build tools.
+
+## Enable the integration in GitLab
+
+Prerequisites:
+
+- You must have a [Google Play Console](https://play.google.com/console/developers) developer account.
+- You must [generate a new service account key for your project](https://developers.google.com/android-publisher/getting_started) from the Google Cloud console.
+
+To enable the Google Play integration in GitLab:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > Integrations**.
+1. Select **Google Play**.
+1. In **Enable integration**, select the **Active** checkbox.
+1. In **Package name**, enter the package name of the app (for example, `com.gitlab.app_name`).
+1. In **Service account key (.JSON)**, drag or upload your key file.
+1. Select **Save changes**.
+
+After you enable the integration, the global variables `$SUPPLY_PACKAGE_NAME` and `$SUPPLY_JSON_KEY_DATA` are created for CI/CD use.
+
+### CI/CD variable security
+
+Malicious code pushed to your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file could compromise your variables, including `$SUPPLY_JSON_KEY_DATA`, and send them to a third-party server. For more information, see [CI/CD variable security](../../../ci/variables/index.md#cicd-variable-security).
+
+## Enable the integration in fastlane
+
+To enable the integration in fastlane and upload the build to the given track in Google Play, you can add the following code to your app's `fastlane/Fastfile`:
+
+```ruby
+upload_to_play_store(
+ track: 'internal',
+ aab: '../build/app/outputs/bundle/release/app-release.aab'
+)
+```

-# Prometheus **(FREE)**
+# Prometheus (removed) **(FREE)**
-GitLab offers powerful integration with [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io) for
-monitoring key metrics of your apps, directly in GitLab.
-Metrics for each environment are retrieved from Prometheus, and then displayed
-in the GitLab interface.
-
-![Environment Dashboard](img/prometheus_dashboard.png)
-
-There are two ways to set up Prometheus integration, depending on where your apps are running:
-
-- For deployments on Kubernetes, GitLab can be [integrated with an in-cluster Prometheus](#prometheus-cluster-integration)
-- For other deployment targets, [specify the Prometheus server](#manual-configuration-of-prometheus).
-
-Once enabled, GitLab detects metrics from known services in the
-[metric library](prometheus_library/index.md). You can also
-[add your own metrics](../../../operations/metrics/index.md#adding-custom-metrics) and create
-[custom dashboards](../../../operations/metrics/dashboards/index.md).

-GitLab can query an in-cluster Prometheus for your metrics.
-See [Prometheus cluster integration](../../clusters/integrations.md#prometheus-cluster-integration) for details.
-
-### Manual configuration of Prometheus
-
-#### Requirements
-
-Integration with Prometheus requires the following:
-
-- Prometheus must be configured to collect one of the [supported metrics](prometheus_library/index.md)
-- Each metric must have a label to indicate the environment
-- GitLab must have network connectivity to the Prometheus server
-
-#### Getting started
-
-Installing and configuring Prometheus to monitor applications is fairly straightforward.
-
-1. [Install Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/installation/)
-1. Set up one of the [supported monitoring targets](prometheus_library/index.md)
-1. Configure the Prometheus server to
- [collect their metrics](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#scrape_config)
-
-#### Configuration in GitLab
-
-The actual configuration of Prometheus integration in GitLab
-requires the domain name or IP address of the Prometheus server you'd like
-to integrate with. If the Prometheus resource is secured with Google's Identity-Aware Proxy (IAP),
-you can pass information like Client ID and Service Account credentials.
-GitLab can use these to access the resource. More information about authentication from a
-service account can be found at Google's documentation for
-[Authenticating from a service account](https://cloud.google.com/iap/docs/authentication-howto#authenticating_from_a_service_account).
-
-1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
-1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > Integrations**.
-1. Select **Prometheus**.
-1. For **API URL**, provide the domain name or IP address of your server, such as
- `http://prometheus.example.com/` or `http://192.0.2.1/`.
-1. (Optional) In **Google IAP Audience Client ID**, provide the Client ID of the
- Prometheus OAuth Client secured with Google IAP.
-1. (Optional) In **Google IAP Service Account JSON**, provide the contents of the
- Service Account credentials file that is authorized to access the Prometheus resource.
- The JSON key `token_credential_uri` is discarded to prevent
- [Server-side Request Forgery (SSRF)](https://www.hackerone.com/application-security/how-server-side-request-forgery-ssrf).
-1. Select **Save changes**.
-
-![Configure Prometheus Service](img/prometheus_manual_configuration_v13_2.png)
-
-#### Thanos configuration in GitLab
-
-You can configure [Thanos](https://thanos.io/) as a drop-in replacement for Prometheus
-with GitLab. Use the domain name or IP address of the Thanos server you'd like
-to integrate with.
-
-1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
-1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > Integrations**.
-1. Select **Prometheus**.
-1. Provide the domain name or IP address of your server, for example
- `http://thanos.example.com/` or `http://192.0.2.1/`.
-1. Select **Save changes**.
-
-### Precedence with multiple Prometheus configurations
-
-Although you can enable both a [manual configuration](#manual-configuration-of-prometheus)
-and [cluster integration](#prometheus-cluster-integration) of Prometheus, you
-can use only one:
-
-- If you have enabled a
- [Prometheus manual configuration](#manual-configuration-of-prometheus)
- and a [Prometheus cluster integration](#prometheus-cluster-integration),
- the manual configuration takes precedence and is used to run queries from
- [custom dashboards](../../../operations/metrics/dashboards/index.md) and
- [custom metrics](../../../operations/metrics/index.md#adding-custom-metrics).
-- If you have managed Prometheus applications installed on Kubernetes clusters
- at **different** levels (project, group, instance), the order of precedence is described in
- [Cluster precedence](../../instance/clusters/index.md#cluster-precedence).
-- If you have managed Prometheus applications installed on multiple Kubernetes
- clusters at the **same** level, the Prometheus application of a cluster with a
- matching [environment scope](../../../ci/environments/index.md#limit-the-environment-scope-of-a-cicd-variable) is used.
-
-## Determining the performance impact of a merge
-
-Developers can view the performance impact of their changes in the merge
-request workflow. This feature requires [Kubernetes](prometheus_library/kubernetes.md) metrics.
-
-When a source branch has been deployed to an environment, a sparkline and
-numeric comparison of the average memory consumption displays. On the
-sparkline, a dot indicates when the current changes were deployed, with up to 30 minutes of
-performance data displayed before and after. The comparison shows the difference
-between the 30 minute average before and after the deployment. This information
-is updated after each commit has been deployed.
-
-Once merged and the target branch has been redeployed, the metrics switches
-to show the new environments this revision has been deployed to.
-
-Performance data is available for the duration it is persisted on the
-Prometheus server.
-

-in GitLab 14.7, and is planned for removal in GitLab 16.0.
-
-GitLab offers automatic detection of select [Prometheus exporters](https://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/exporters/).
-
-## Exporters
-
-Currently supported exporters are:
-
-- [Kubernetes](kubernetes.md)
-- [NGINX](nginx.md)
-- [NGINX Ingress Controller 0.9.0-0.15.x](nginx_ingress_vts.md)
-- [NGINX Ingress Controller 0.16.0+](nginx_ingress.md)
-- [HAProxy](haproxy.md)
-- [Amazon Cloud Watch](cloudwatch.md)
-
-We have tried to surface the most important metrics for each exporter, and
-continue to add support for additional exporters in future releases. If you
-would like to add support for other official exporters, contributions are welcome.
-
-## Identifying Environments
-
-GitLab retrieves performance data from the configured Prometheus server, and
-attempts to identifying the presence of known metrics. Once identified, GitLab
-then needs to be able to map the data to a particular environment.
-
-To isolate and only display relevant metrics for a given environment,
-GitLab needs a method to detect which labels are associated. To do that,
-GitLab uses the defined queries and fills in the environment specific variables.
-Typically this involves looking for the
-[`$CI_ENVIRONMENT_SLUG`](../../../../ci/variables/index.md#predefined-cicd-variables),
-but may also include other information such as the project's Kubernetes namespace.
-Each search query is defined in the [exporter specific documentation](#exporters).

- ```
-
-## Configuring Prometheus to monitor for Kubernetes metrics
-
-Prometheus needs to be deployed into the cluster and configured properly to gather Kubernetes metrics. GitLab supports two methods for doing so:
-
-- GitLab [integrates with Kubernetes](../../clusters/index.md), and can [query a Prometheus in a connected cluster](../../../clusters/integrations.md#prometheus-cluster-integration). The in-cluster Prometheus can be configured to automatically collect application metrics from your cluster.
-- To configure your own Prometheus server, you can follow the [Prometheus documentation](https://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/overview/).
-
-## Specifying the Environment
-
-To isolate and only display relevant CPU and Memory metrics for a given environment, GitLab needs a method to detect which containers it is running. Because these metrics are tracked at the container level, traditional Kubernetes labels are not available.
-
-Instead, the [Deployment](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/deployment/) or [DaemonSet](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/daemonset/) name should begin with [CI_ENVIRONMENT_SLUG](../../../../ci/variables/index.md#predefined-cicd-variables). It can be followed by a `-` and additional content if desired. For example, a deployment name of `review-homepage-5620p5` would match the `review/homepage` environment.
-
-## Displaying Canary metrics **(PREMIUM)**
-
-GitLab also gathers Kubernetes metrics for [canary deployments](../../canary_deployments.md), allowing easy comparison between the current deployed version and the canary.
-
-These metrics expect the [Deployment](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/deployment/) or [DaemonSet](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/daemonset/) name to begin with `$CI_ENVIRONMENT_SLUG-canary`, to isolate the canary metrics.
-
-### Canary metrics supported
-
-- Average Memory Usage (MB)
-
- ```prometheus
- avg(sum(container_memory_usage_bytes{container_name!="POD",pod_name=~"^%{ci_environment_slug}-canary-(.*)",namespace="%{kube_namespace}"}) by (job)) without (job) / count(avg(container_memory_usage_bytes{container_name!="POD",pod_name=~"^%{ci_environment_slug}-canary-(.*)",namespace="%{kube_namespace}"}) without (job)) /1024/1024

-
-## Configuring NGINX Ingress monitoring
-
-Version 0.9.0 and above of [NGINX Ingress](https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx) have built-in support for exporting Prometheus metrics. To enable, a ConfigMap setting must be passed: `enable-vts-status: "true"`. Once enabled, a Prometheus metrics endpoint starts running on port 10254.
-
-Next, the Ingress needs to be annotated for Prometheus monitoring. Two new annotations need to be added:
-
-- `prometheus.io/scrape: "true"`
-- `prometheus.io/port: "10254"`
-
-Managing these settings depends on how NGINX Ingress has been deployed. If you have deployed via the [official Helm chart](https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/tree/master/charts/ingress-nginx), metrics can be enabled with `controller.stats.enabled` along with the required annotations. Alternatively it is possible to edit the NGINX Ingress YAML directly in the [Kubernetes dashboard](https://github.com/kubernetes/dashboard).
-
-## Specifying the Environment label
-
-To isolate and display only relevant metrics for a given environment, GitLab needs a method to
-detect which labels are associated. To do this, GitLab searches for metrics with appropriate labels.
-In this case, the `ingress` label must include the value `<CI_ENVIRONMENT_SLUG>`.
-
-If you have used [Auto Deploy](../../../../topics/autodevops/stages.md#auto-deploy) to deploy your app, this format is used automatically and metrics are detected with no action on your part.

-# Monitoring NGINX Ingress Controller with VTS metrics (DEPRECATED) **(FREE)**
+# Monitoring NGINX Ingress Controller with VTS metrics (removed) **(FREE)**
-> [Deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/346541) in GitLab 14.7.
-
-WARNING:
-This feature is in its end-of-life process. It is [deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/346541)
-in GitLab 14.7, and is planned for removal in GitLab 16.0.
-
-NOTE:
-[NGINX Ingress version 0.16](nginx_ingress.md) and above have built-in Prometheus metrics, which are different than the VTS based metrics.
-
-GitLab has support for automatically detecting and monitoring the Kubernetes NGINX Ingress controller. This is provided by leveraging the included VTS Prometheus metrics exporter in [version 0.9.0](https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/blob/master/Changelog.md#09-beta1) through [0.15.x](https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/blob/master/Changelog.md#0150).
-
-## Requirements
-
-[Prometheus integration](../prometheus.md) must be active.
-
-## Metrics supported
-
-| Name | Query |
-| ---- | ----- |
-| Throughput (req/sec) | `sum(rate(nginx_upstream_responses_total{upstream=~"%{kube_namespace}-%{ci_environment_slug}-.*"}[2m])) by (status_code)` |
-| Latency (ms) | `avg(nginx_upstream_response_msecs_avg{upstream=~"%{kube_namespace}-%{ci_environment_slug}-.*"})` |
-| HTTP Error Rate (%) | `sum(rate(nginx_upstream_responses_total{status_code="5xx", upstream=~"%{kube_namespace}-%{ci_environment_slug}-.*"}[2m])) / sum(rate(nginx_upstream_responses_total{upstream=~"%{kube_namespace}-%{ci_environment_slug}-.*"}[2m])) * 100` |
-
-## Configuring NGINX Ingress monitoring
-
-Version 0.9.0 and above of [NGINX Ingress](https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx) has built-in support for exporting Prometheus metrics. To enable, a ConfigMap setting must be passed: `enable-vts-status: "true"`. Once enabled, a Prometheus metrics endpoint begins running on port 10254.
-
-Next, the Ingress needs to be annotated for Prometheus monitoring. Two new annotations need to be added:
-
-- `prometheus.io/scrape: "true"`
-- `prometheus.io/port: "10254"`
-
-Managing these settings depends on how NGINX Ingress has been deployed. If you have deployed via the [official Helm chart](https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/tree/master/charts/ingress-nginx), metrics can be enabled with `controller.stats.enabled` along with the required annotations. Alternatively it is possible edit the NGINX Ingress YAML directly in the [Kubernetes dashboard](https://github.com/kubernetes/dashboard).
-
-## Specifying the Environment label
-
-To isolate and only display relevant metrics for a given environment, GitLab needs a method to detect which labels are associated. To do this, GitLab searches for metrics with appropriate labels. In this case, the `upstream` label must be of the form `<KUBE_NAMESPACE>-<CI_ENVIRONMENT_SLUG>-*`.
-
-If you have used [Auto Deploy](../../../../topics/autodevops/stages.md#auto-deploy) to deploy your app, this format is used automatically and metrics are detected with no action on your part.
+This feature was [deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/346541) in GitLab 14.7
+and [removed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/399231) in 16.0.

-
-By reordering your lists, you can create workflows. As lists in issue boards are
-based on labels, it works out of the box with your existing issues.
-
-So if you've already labeled things with **Backend** and **Frontend**, the issue appears in
-the lists as you create them. In addition, this means you can move something between lists by
-changing a label.
-
-A typical workflow of using an issue board would be:
-
-1. You [create](labels.md#create-a-label) and [prioritize](labels.md#set-label-priority)
- labels to categorize your issues.
-1. You have a bunch of issues (ideally labeled).
-1. You visit the issue board and start [creating lists](#create-a-new-list) to
- create a workflow.
-1. You move issues around in lists so that your team knows who should be working
- on what issue.
-1. When the work by one team is done, the issue can be dragged to the next list
- so someone else can pick it up.
-1. When the issue is finally resolved, the issue is moved to the **Done** list
- and gets automatically closed.
-
-For example, you can create a list based on the label of **Frontend** and one for
-**Backend**. A designer can start working on an issue by adding it to the
-**Frontend** list. That way, everyone knows that this issue is now being
-worked on by the designers.
-
-Then, when they're done, all they have to do is
-drag it to the next list, **Backend**. Then, a backend developer can
-eventually pick it up. When they're done, they move it to **Done**, to close the
-issue.
-
-This process can be seen clearly when visiting an issue. With every move
-to another list, the label changes and a system note is recorded.

## Configure the commit message for applied suggestions
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/13086) in GitLab 12.7.
+GitLab uses a default commit message when applying suggestions. This message
+supports placeholders, and can be changed. For example, the default message
+`Apply %{suggestions_count} suggestion(s) to %{files_count} file(s)` renders
+like this if you apply three suggestions to two different files:
-GitLab uses a default commit message
-when applying suggestions: `Apply %{suggestions_count} suggestion(s) to %{files_count} file(s)`
-
-<!-- vale gitlab.BadPlurals = NO -->
+```plaintext
+Apply 3 suggestion(s) to 2 file(s)
+```
-For example, consider that a user applied 3 suggestions to 2 different files, the
-default commit message is: **Apply 3 suggestion(s) to 2 file(s)**
+Merge requests created from forks use the template defined in the target project.
-<!-- vale gitlab.BadPlurals = YES -->
+To meet your project's needs, you can customize these messages and include other
+placeholder variables:
-These commit messages can be customized to follow any guidelines you might have.
-To do so, expand the **Merge requests** tab within your project's **General**
-settings and change the **Merge suggestions** text:
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > Merge requests**.
+1. Scroll to **Merge suggestions**, and alter the text to meet your needs.
+ See [Supported variables](#supported-variables) for a list of placeholders
+ you can use in this message.
-![Custom commit message for applied suggestions](img/suggestions_custom_commit_messages_v14_7.png)
+### Supported variables
-You can also use following variables besides static text:
+The template for commit messages for applied suggestions supports these variables:
| Variable | Description | Output example |
|------------------------|-------------|----------------|
| `%{branch_name}` | The name of the branch to which suggestions were applied. | `my-feature-branch` |
-| `%{files_count}` | The number of files to which suggestions were applied.| **2** |
+| `%{files_count}` | The number of files to which suggestions were applied.| `2` |
| `%{file_paths}` | The paths of the file to which suggestions were applied. Paths are separated by commas.| `docs/index.md, docs/about.md` |
| `%{project_path}` | The project path. | `my-group/my-project` |
-| `%{project_name}` | The human-readable name of the project. | **My Project** |
-| `%{suggestions_count}` | The number of suggestions applied.| **3** |
+| `%{project_name}` | The human-readable name of the project. | `My Project` |
+| `%{suggestions_count}` | The number of suggestions applied.| `3` |
| `%{username}` | The username of the user applying suggestions. | `user_1` |
-| `%{user_full_name}` | The full name of the user applying suggestions. | **User 1** |
+| `%{user_full_name}` | The full name of the user applying suggestions. | `User 1` |
For example, to customize the commit message to output
-**Addresses user_1's review**, set the custom text to
+`Addresses user_1's review`, set the custom text to
`Addresses %{username}'s review`.
-For merge requests created from forks, GitLab uses the template defined in target project.

-Custom commit messages for each applied suggestion is
-introduced by [#25381](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/25381).

-DISCLAIMER:
-Machine Learning Experiment Tracking is an experimental feature being developed by the Incubation Engineering Department,
-and will receive significant changes over time. This feature is being release with the aim of getting user feedback, but
-is not stable and can lead to performance degradation. See below on how to disable this feature.
+FLAG:
+On self-managed GitLab, model experiment tracking is disabled by default.
+To enable the feature, ask an administrator to [enable the feature flag](../../../../administration/feature_flags.md) named `ml_experiment_tracking`.

+engineering to improve the performance of the model. Keeping track of all this metadata and the associated
artifacts so that the data scientist can later replicate the experiment is not trivial. Machine learning experiment
tracking enables them to log parameters, metrics, and artifacts directly into GitLab, giving easy access later on.

## What is an experiment?

-a use case), or short lived (results from hyperparameter tuning triggered by a merge request), but usually hold model candidates
-that have a similar set of parameters and metrics.

## Model candidate
A model candidate is a variation of the training of a machine learning model, that can be eventually promoted to a version
-of the model. The goal of a data scientist is to find the model candidate whose parameter values lead to the best model

+Experiment and trials can only be tracked through the
+[MLflow](https://www.mlflow.org/docs/latest/tracking.html) client integration.
+See [MLflow client integration](../../integrations/mlflow_client.md) for more information
+on how to use GitLab as a backend for the MLflow Client.
-An experiment is always associated to a project. Only users with access to the project an experiment is associated with

-## Release evidence
-
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/26019) in GitLab 12.6.
-
-Each time a release is created, GitLab takes a snapshot of data that's related to it.
-This data is saved in a JSON file and called *release evidence*. The feature
-includes test artifacts and linked milestones to facilitate
-internal processes, like external audits.
-
-To access the release evidence, on the Releases page, select the link to the JSON file that's listed
-under the **Evidence collection** heading.
-
-You can also [use the API](../../../api/releases/index.md#collect-release-evidence) to
-generate release evidence for an existing release. Because of this, each release
-can have multiple release evidence snapshots. You can view the release evidence and
-its details on the Releases page.
-
-When the issue tracker is disabled, release evidence [can't be downloaded](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/208397).
-

-### Collect release evidence **(PREMIUM SELF)**
-
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/199065) in GitLab 12.10.
-
-When a release is created, release evidence is automatically collected. To initiate evidence collection any other time, use an [API call](../../../api/releases/index.md#collect-release-evidence). You can collect release evidence multiple times for one release.
-
-Evidence collection snapshots are visible on the Releases page, along with the timestamp the evidence was collected.
-
-### Include report artifacts as release evidence **(ULTIMATE)**
-
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/32773) in GitLab 13.2.
-
-When you create a release, if [job artifacts](../../../ci/yaml/index.md#artifactsreports) are included in the last pipeline that ran, they are automatically included in the release as release evidence.
-
-Although job artifacts normally expire, artifacts included in release evidence do not expire.
-
-To enable job artifact collection you must specify both:
-
-1. [`artifacts:paths`](../../../ci/yaml/index.md#artifactspaths)
-1. [`artifacts:reports`](../../../ci/yaml/index.md#artifactsreports)
-

+# Release evidence **(FREE)**
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/26019) in GitLab 12.6.
+
+Each time a release is created, GitLab takes a snapshot of data that's related to it.
+This data is saved in a JSON file and called *release evidence*. The feature
+includes test artifacts and linked milestones to facilitate
+internal processes, like external audits.
+
+To access the release evidence, on the Releases page, select the link to the JSON file that's listed
+under the **Evidence collection** heading.
+
+You can also [use the API](../../../api/releases/index.md#collect-release-evidence) to
+generate release evidence for an existing release. Because of this, each release
+can have multiple release evidence snapshots. You can view the release evidence and
+its details on the Releases page.
+
+When the issue tracker is disabled, release evidence [can't be downloaded](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/208397).
+
+Here is an example of a release evidence object:
+
+```json
+{
+ "release": {
+ "id": 5,
+ "tag_name": "v4.0",
+ "name": "New release",

+
+## Collect release evidence **(PREMIUM SELF)**
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/199065) in GitLab 12.10.
+
+When a release is created, release evidence is automatically collected. To initiate evidence collection any other time, use an [API call](../../../api/releases/index.md#collect-release-evidence). You can collect release evidence multiple times for one release.
+
+Evidence collection snapshots are visible on the Releases page, along with the timestamp the evidence was collected.
+
+## Include report artifacts as release evidence **(ULTIMATE)**
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/32773) in GitLab 13.2.
+
+When you create a release, if [job artifacts](../../../ci/yaml/index.md#artifactsreports) are included in the last pipeline that ran, they are automatically included in the release as release evidence.
+
+Although job artifacts normally expire, artifacts included in release evidence do not expire.
+
+To enable job artifact collection you must specify both:
+
+1. [`artifacts:paths`](../../../ci/yaml/index.md#artifactspaths)
+1. [`artifacts:reports`](../../../ci/yaml/index.md#artifactsreports)
+
+```yaml
+ruby:
+ script:
+ - gem install bundler
+ - bundle install
+ - bundle exec rspec --format progress --format RspecJunitFormatter --out rspec.xml
+ artifacts:
+ paths:
+ - rspec.xml
+ reports:
+ junit: rspec.xml
+```
+
+If the pipeline ran successfully, when you create your release, the `rspec.xml` file is saved as
+release evidence.
+
+If you [schedule release evidence collection](#schedule-release-evidence-collection),
+some artifacts may already be expired by the time of evidence collection. To avoid this you can use
+the [`artifacts:expire_in`](../../../ci/yaml/index.md#artifactsexpire_in)

+# Tutorial: Connect a remote machine to the Web IDE **(FREE)**
+
+This tutorial shows you how to:
+
+- Create a development environment outside of GitLab.
+- Connect a remote machine to the [Web IDE](../web_ide/index.md).
+
+To connect a remote machine to the Web IDE, you must:
+
+1. [Generate Let's Encrypt certificates](#generate-lets-encrypt-certificates).
+1. [Connect a development environment to the Web IDE](#connect-a-development-environment-to-the-web-ide).
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- A remote virtual machine with root access
+- A domain address resolving to that machine
+- Docker installation
+
+## Generate Let's Encrypt certificates
+
+To generate Let's Encrypt certificates:
+
+1. Create an `A` record to point a domain to your remote machine (for example, from `example.remote.gitlab.dev` to `1.2.3.4`).
+1. Install [Certbot](https://certbot.eff.org/) to enable HTTPS:
+
+ ```shell
+ sudo apt-get update
+ sudo apt-get install certbot
+ ```
+
+1. Generate the certificates:
+
+ ```shell
+ export EMAIL="YOUR_EMAIL@example.com"
+ export DOMAIN="example.remote.gitlab.dev"
+
+ certbot -d "${DOMAIN}" \
+ -m "${EMAIL}" \
+ --config-dir ~/.certbot/config \
+ --logs-dir ~/.certbot/logs \
+ --work-dir ~/.certbot/work \
+ --manual \
+ --preferred-challenges dns certonly
+ ```
+
+Now that you've generated the certificates, it's time to create and connect a development environment.
+
+## Connect a development environment to the Web IDE
+
+To connect a development environment to the Web IDE:
+
+1. Create a development environment:
+
+ ```shell
+ export CERTS_DIR="/home/ubuntu/.certbot/config/live/${DOMAIN}"
+ export PROJECTS_DIR="/home/ubuntu"
+
+ docker run -d \
+ --name my-environment \
+ -p 3443:3443 \
+ -v "${CERTS_DIR}/fullchain.pem:/gitlab-rd-web-ide/certs/fullchain.pem" \
+ -v "${CERTS_DIR}/privkey.pem:/gitlab-rd-web-ide/certs/privkey.pem" \
+ -v "${PROJECTS_DIR}:/projects" \
+ registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/remote-development/gitlab-rd-web-ide-docker:0.2-alpha \
+ --log-level warn --domain "${DOMAIN}" --ignore-version-mismatch
+ ```
+
+ The new development environment starts automatically.
+
+1. Fetch a token:
+
+ ```shell
+ docker exec my-environment cat TOKEN
+ ```
+
+1. [Configure a remote connection](#configure-a-remote-connection).
+
+### Configure a remote connection
+
+To configure a remote connection from the Web IDE:
+
+1. Open the Web IDE.
+1. On the menu bar, select **View > Terminal** or press <kbd>Control</kbd>+<kbd>`</kbd>.
+1. In the terminal panel, select **Configure a remote connection**.
+1. Enter the URL for the remote host including the port (for example, `yourdomain.com:3443`).
+1. Enter the project path.
+1. Enter the token you've fetched.
+
+Alternatively, you can pass the parameters from a URL and connect directly to the Web IDE:
+
+1. Run this command:
+
+ ```shell
+ echo "https://gitlab-org.gitlab.io/gitlab-web-ide?remoteHost=${DOMAIN}:3443&hostPath=/projects"
+ ```
+
+1. Go to that URL and enter the token you've fetched.
+
+You've done it! Your development environment now runs as a remote host that's connected to the Web IDE.

# Branches **(FREE)**
-A branch is a version of a project's working tree. You create a branch for each
-set of related changes you make. This keeps each set of changes separate from
-each other, allowing changes to be made in parallel, without affecting each
-other.
+Branches are versions of a project's working tree. When you create a new
+[project](../../index.md), GitLab creates a [default branch](default.md) (which
+cannot be deleted) for your repository. Default branch settings can be configured
+at the project, subgroup, group, or instance level.
-After pushing your changes to a new branch, you can:
+As your project grows, your team [creates](../web_editor.md#create-a-branch) more
+branches, preferably by following [branch naming patterns](#prefix-branch-names-with-issue-numbers).
+Each branch represents a set of changes, which allows development work to be done
+in parallel. Development work in one branch does not affect another branch.
-- Create a [merge request](../../merge_requests/index.md). You can streamline this process
- by following [branch naming patterns](#naming).
-- Perform inline code review.
-- [Discuss](../../../discussions/index.md) your implementation with your team.
-- Preview changes submitted to a new branch with [Review Apps](../../../../ci/review_apps/index.md).
+Branches are the foundation of development in a project:
-You can also request [approval](../../merge_requests/approvals/index.md)
-from your managers.
+1. To get started, create a branch and add commits to it.
+1. When the work is ready for review, create a [merge request](../../merge_requests/index.md) to propose
+ merging the changes in your branch. To streamline this process, you should follow
+ [branch naming patterns](#prefix-branch-names-with-issue-numbers).
+1. Preview changes in a branch with a [review app](../../../../ci/review_apps/index.md).
+1. After the contents of your branch are merged, [delete the merged branch](#delete-merged-branches).
-For more information on managing branches using the GitLab UI, see:

+Prerequisites:
-## Naming
+- You must have at least the Developer role in the project.
+- Unless you have the Maintainer or Owner roles, the
+ [default branch protection](../../../group/manage.md#change-the-default-branch-protection-of-a-group)
+ must be set to `Partially protected` or `Not protected` for you to push a commit
+ to the default branch.
-Prefix a branch name with an issue number to streamline merge request creation.
-When you create a merge request for a branch with a name beginning with an issue
-number, GitLab:
+To add a [default branch](default.md) to an empty project:
-- Marks the issue as related. If your project is configured with a
- [default closing pattern](../../issues/managing_issues.md#default-closing-pattern),
- merging this merge request [also closes](../../issues/managing_issues.md#closing-issues-automatically)
- the related issue.
-- Copies label and milestone metadata from the issue.
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
+1. Scroll to **The repository for this project is empty** and select the type of
+ file you want to add.
+1. In the Web IDE, make any desired changes to this file, then select **Create commit**.
+1. Enter a commit message, and select **Commit**.
-## Compare
+GitLab creates a default branch and adds your file to it.
-To compare branches in a repository:
+### From an issue
-1. Navigate to your project's repository.
-1. Select **Repository > Compare** in the sidebar.
-1. Select the target repository to compare with the [repository filter search box](#repository-filter-search-box).
-1. Select branches to compare using the [branch filter search box](#branch-filter-search-box).
-1. Select **Compare** to view the changes inline:
+When viewing an issue, you can create an associated branch directly from that page.
- ![compare branches](img/compare_branches_v13_12.png)
+Prerequisites:
-## Delete merged branches
+- You must have at least the Developer role in the project.
-![Delete merged branches](img/delete_merged_branches.png)
+To create a branch from an issue:
-This feature allows merged branches to be deleted in bulk. Only branches that
-have been merged into the project's default branch and
-[are not protected](../../protected_branches.md) are deleted as part of
-this operation.
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Issues** (**{issues}**) and find your issue.
+1. Below the issue description, find the **Create merge request** dropdown list, and select
+ **{chevron-down}** to display the dropdown list.
+1. Select **Create branch**. A default **Branch name** is provided, based on the
+ [default pattern](#configure-default-pattern-for-branch-names-from-issues) for
+ this project. If desired, enter a different **Branch name**.
+1. Select **Create branch** to create the branch based on your project's
+ [default branch](default.md).
-It's particularly useful to clean up old branches that were not deleted
-automatically when a merge request was merged.
+## Manage and protect branches
+
+GitLab provides you multiple methods to protect individual branches. These methods
+ensure your branches receive oversight and quality checks from their creation to their deletion:
-## Repository filter search box
+- The [default branch](default.md) in your project receives extra protection.
+- Configure [protected branches](../../protected_branches.md#protected-branches)
+ to restrict who can commit to a branch, merge other branches into it, or merge
+ the branch itself into another branch.
+- Configure [approval rules](../../merge_requests/approvals/rules.md) to set review
+ requirements, including [security-related approvals](../../merge_requests/approvals/rules.md#security-approvals), before a branch can merge.
+- Integrate with third-party [status checks](../../merge_requests/status_checks.md)
+ to ensure your branch contents meet your standards of quality.
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/52967) in GitLab 13.10.
+You can manage your branches:
-This feature allows you to search and select a repository quickly when [comparing branches](#compare).
+- With the GitLab user interface.
+- With the [command line](../../../../gitlab-basics/start-using-git.md#create-a-branch).
+- With the [Branches API](../../../../api/branches.md).
-![Repository filter search box](img/repository_filter_search_box_v13_12.png)
+### View all branches
-Search results appear in the following order:
+To view and manage your branches in the GitLab user interface:
-- Repositories with names exactly matching the search terms.
-- Other repositories with names that include search terms, sorted alphabetically.
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Repository > Branches**.
-## Branch filter search box
+On this page, you can:
-![Branch filter search box](img/branch_filter_search_box_v13_12.png)
+- See all branches, active branches, or stale branches.
+- Create new branches.
+- [Compare branches](#compare-branches).
+- Delete merged branches.
-This feature allows you to search and select branches quickly. Search results appear in the following order:
+### View branches with configured protections
-- Branches with names that matched search terms exactly.
-- Other branches with names that include search terms, sorted alphabetically.
+> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/88279) in GitLab 15.1 with a flag named `branch_rules`. Disabled by default.
+> - [Enabled on GitLab.com](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/363170) in GitLab 15.10.
+> - [Enabled on self-managed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/363170) in GitLab 15.11
-Sometimes when you have hundreds of branches you may want a more flexible matching pattern. In such cases you can use the following operators:
+FLAG:
+On self-managed GitLab, by default this feature is available. To hide the feature, ask an administrator to [disable the feature flag](../../../feature_flags.md) named `branch_rules`.
+On GitLab.com, this feature is available.
-- `^` matches beginning of branch name, for example `^feat` would match `feat/user-authentication`
-- `$` matches end of branch name, for example `widget$` would match `feat/search-box-widget`
-- `*` wildcard matcher, for example `branch*cache*` would match `fix/branch-search-cache-expiration`
+Branches in your repository can be [protected](../../protected_branches.md) in multiple ways. You can:
-These operators can be mixed, for example `^chore/*migration$` would match `chore/user-data-migration`
+- Limit who can push to the branch.
+- Limit who can merge the branch.
+- Require approval of all changes.
+- Require external tests to pass.
-## Swap revisions
+The **Branch rules overview** page shows all branches with any configured protections,
+and their protection methods:
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/60491) in GitLab 13.12.
+![Example of a branch with configured protections](img/view_branch_protections_v15_10.png)
-![Before swap revisions](img/swap_revisions_before_v13_12.png)
+Prerequisites:
-The Swap revisions feature allows you to swap the Source and Target revisions. When the Swap revisions button is selected, the selected revisions for Source and Target is swapped.
+- You must have at least the Maintainer role in the project.
-![After swap revisions](img/swap_revisions_after_v13_12.png)
+To view the **Branch rules overview** list:
-## View branches with configured protections **(FREE SELF)**
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > Repository**.
+1. Expand **Branch Rules** to view all branches with protections.
+ - To add protections to a new branch:
+ 1. Select **Add branch rule**.
+ 1. Select **Create protected branch**.
+ - To view more information about protections on an existing branch:
+ 1. Identify the branch you want more information about.
+ 1. Select **Details** to see information about its:
+ - [Branch protections](../../protected_branches.md).
+ - [Approval rules](../../merge_requests/approvals/rules.md).
+ - [Status checks](../../merge_requests/status_checks.md).
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/88279) in GitLab 15.1 with a flag named `branch_rules`. Disabled by default.
+## Name your branch
-FLAG:
-On self-managed GitLab, by default this feature is not available. To make it available, ask an administrator to [enable the feature flag](../../../feature_flags.md) named `branch_rules`.
-On GitLab.com, this feature is not available.
-This feature is not ready for production use.
+Git enforces [branch name rules](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-check-ref-format)
+to help ensure branch names remain compatible with other tools. GitLab
+adds extra requirements for branch names, and provides benefits for well-structured branch names.
-Branches in your repository can be [protected](../../protected_branches.md) by limiting
-who can push to a branch, require approval for those pushed changes, or merge those changes.
-To help you track the protections for all branches, the **Branch rules overview**
-page shows your branches with their configured rules.
+GitLab enforces these additional rules on all branches:
-To view the **Branch rules overview** list:
+- No spaces are allowed in branch names.
+- Branch names with 40 hexadecimal characters are prohibited, because they are similar to Git commit hashes.
+
+Common software packages, like Docker, may enforce
+[additional branch naming restrictions](../../../../administration/packages/container_registry.md#docker-connection-error).
+
+For best compatibility with other software packages, use only numbers, hyphens (`-`),
+underscores (`_`), and lower-case letters from the ASCII standard table. You
+can use forward slashes (`/`) and emoji in branch names, but compatibility with other
+software packages cannot be guaranteed.
+
+Branch names with specific formatting offer extra benefits:
+
+- Streamline your merge request workflow by
+ [prefixing branch names with issue numbers](#prefix-branch-names-with-issue-numbers).
+- Automate [branch protections](../../protected_branches.md) based on branch name.
+- Test branch names with [push rules](../push_rules.md) before branches are pushed up to GitLab.
+- Define which [CI/CD jobs](../../../../ci/jobs/index.md) to run on merge requests.
+
+### Configure default pattern for branch names from issues
+
+By default, GitLab uses the pattern `%{id}-%{title}` when creating a branch from
+an issue, but you can change this pattern.
+
+Prerequisites:
+
+- You must have at least the Maintainer role for the project.
+
+To change the default pattern for branches created from issues:
1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
-1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > Repository**.
-1. Expand **Branch Rules** to view all branches with protections.
-1. Select **Details** next to your desired branch to show information about its:
- - [Branch protections](../../protected_branches.md).
- - [Approval rules](../../merge_requests/approvals/rules.md).
- - [Status checks](../../merge_requests/status_checks.md).
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > Repository** and expand **Branch defaults**.
+1. Scroll to **Branch name template** and enter a value. The field supports these variables:
+ - `%{id}`: The numeric ID of the issue.
+ - `%{title}`: The title of the issue, modified to use only characters acceptable in Git branch names.
+1. Select **Save changes**.
+
+### Prefix branch names with issue numbers
+
+To streamline the creation of merge requests, start your branch name with an
+issue number. GitLab uses the issue number to import data into the merge request:
+
+- The issue is marked as related to the merge request. The issue and merge request
+ display links to each other.
+- The branch is connected to the issue.
+- If your project is configured with a
+ [default closing pattern](../../issues/managing_issues.md#default-closing-pattern),
+ merging the merge request [also closes](../../issues/managing_issues.md#closing-issues-automatically)
+ the related issue.
+- Issue milestone and labels are copied to the merge request.
+
+## Compare branches

+> - Revision swapping [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/60491) in GitLab 13.12.
+
+The default compare mode uses the `git diff from...to` method, instead of the
+`git diff from to` method, to compare branches. The `git diff from...to` method
+provides a more human-readable diff, because it does not include unrelated changes
+made to the target branch after the source branch was created.
+
+NOTE:
+The `git diff from...to` method shows all changes from a cherry-picked commit as
+new changes. It uses the merge base, not the actual commit content, to compare branches.
+
+To compare branches in a repository:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Repository > Compare revisions**.
+1. Select the **Source** branch to search for your desired branch. Exact matches are
+ shown first. You can refine your search with operators:
+ - `^` matches the beginning of the branch name: `^feat` matches `feat/user-authentication`.
+ - `$` matches the end of the branch name: `widget$` matches `feat/search-box-widget`.
+ - `*` matches using a wildcard: `branch*cache*` matches `fix/branch-search-cache-expiration`.
+ - You can combine operators: `^chore/*migration$` matches `chore/user-data-migration`.
+1. Select the **Target** repository and branch. Exact matches are shown first.
+1. Select **Compare** to show the list of commits, and changed files. To reverse
+ the **Source** and **Target**, select **Swap revisions**.
+
+## Delete merged branches
+
+![Delete merged branches](img/delete_merged_branches.png)
+
+This feature allows merged branches to be deleted in bulk. Only branches that
+have been merged into the project's default branch and
+[are not protected](../../protected_branches.md) are deleted as part of
+this operation.
+
+It's particularly useful to clean up old branches that were not deleted
+automatically when a merge request was merged.

+
+> - [Introduced](https://about.gitlab.com/releases/2023/02/22/gitlab-15-9-released/#code-suggestions-available-in-closed-beta) in GitLab 15.9 as [Beta](/ee/policy/alpha-beta-support.md#beta) for early access Ultimate customers.
+> - [Enabled](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/408104) as opt-in with GitLab 15.11 as [Beta](/ee/policy/alpha-beta-support.md#beta).
+> - [Moved](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/408158) from GitLab Ultimate to GitLab Premium in 16.0.
+> - [Moved](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/410801) from GitLab Premium to GitLab Free in 16.0.
+
+WARNING:
+This feature is in [Beta](/ee/policy/alpha-beta-support.md#beta).
+Code Suggestions use generative AI to suggest code while you're developing.
+Due to high demand, this feature will have unscheduled downtime and code suggestions in VS Code may be delayed.
+Code Suggestions may produce [low-quality or incomplete suggestions](#model-accuracy-and-quality).
+Beta users should read about the [known limitations](#known-limitations). We look forward to hearing your feedback.
+
+Use Code Suggestions to write code more efficiently by viewing code suggestions
+as you type. Depending on the cursor position, the extension either:
+
+- Provides entire code snippets, like generating functions.
+- Completes the current line.
+
+To accept a suggestion, press <kbd>Tab</kbd>.
+
+Code Suggestions are available in Visual Studio Code when you have the GitLab Workflow extension installed.
+
+## Supported languages
+
+Code Suggestions may produce [low-quality or incomplete suggestions](#model-accuracy-and-quality). The best results from Code Suggestions are expected for these languages:
+
+- C/C++
+- C#
+- Go
+- Java
+- JavaScript
+- Python
+- PHP
+- Ruby
+- Rust
+- Scala
+- TypeScript
+
+Suggestions may be mixed for other languages. Using natural language code comments to request completions may also not function as expected.
+
+GitLab is continuously improving the model and expects to support an additional seven languages soon, as well as natural language code comments.
+
+Usage of Code Suggestions is governed by the [GitLab Testing Agreement](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/legal/testing-agreement/). Learn about [data usage when using Code Suggestions](#code-suggestions-data-usage).
+
+## Enable Code Suggestions in VS Code
+
+Prerequisites:
+
+- Your group owner must enable the [group level code suggestions setting](../../group/manage.md#group-code-suggestions).
+- You must have [a personal access token](../../profile/personal_access_tokens.md#create-a-personal-access-token) with the `read_api` and `read_user` scopes.
+
+To enable Code Suggestions in VS Code:
+
+1. Download and configure the
+ [GitLab Workflow extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=GitLab.gitlab-workflow)
+ for Visual Studio Code.
+1. In **GitLab: Add Account to VS Code on Mac**, add your GitLab work account to the VS Code extension:

+
+## Code Suggestions data usage
+
+Code Suggestions is a generative artificial intelligence (AI) model hosted on GitLab.com.
+
+Your personal access token enables a secure API connection to GitLab.com.
+This API connection securely transmits a context window from VS Code to the Code Suggestions ML model for inference,
+and the generated suggestion is transmitted back to VS Code.
+
+### Data privacy
+
+Code Suggestions operate completely in the GitLab.com infrastructure, providing the same level of
+[security](https://about.gitlab.com/security/) as any other feature of GitLab.com, and processing any personal
+data in accordance with our [Privacy Statement](https://about.gitlab.com/privacy/).
+
+No new additional data is collected to enable this feature. The content of your GitLab hosted source code is
+not used as training data. Source code inference against the Code Suggestions model is not used to re-train the model.
+Your data also never leaves GitLab.com. All training and inference is done in GitLab.com infrastructure.
+
+[Read more about the security of GitLab.com](https://about.gitlab.com/security/faq/).
+
+### Training data
+
+Code Suggestions uses open source pre-trained base models from the
+[CodeGen family](https://openreview.net/forum?id=iaYcJKpY2B_) including CodeGen-MULTI and CodeGen-NL.
+We then re-train and fine-tune these base models with a customized open source dataset to enable multi-language
+support and additional use cases. This customized dataset contains non-preprocessed open source code in 13
+programming languages from [The Pile](https://pile.eleuther.ai/) and the
+[Google BigQuery source code dataset](https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/public-datasets/github-on-bigquery-analyze-all-the-open-source-code).
+We then process this raw dataset against heuristics that aim to increase the quality of the dataset.
+
+The Code Suggestions model is not trained on GitLab customer data.
+
+### Off by default
+
+Code Suggestions are off by default and require a group owner to enable the feature with a group-level setting.
+
+After the group-level setting is enabled, developers using Visual Studio Code with the
+[GitLab Workflow extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=GitLab.gitlab-workflow) can connect
+to GitLab.com by using a GitLab
+[personal access token](../../profile/personal_access_tokens.md#create-a-personal-access-token) with the `read_api`
+and `read_user` scopes.
+
+## Progressive enhancement
+
+This feature is designed as a progressive enhancement to the existing VS Code GitLab Workflow plugin.
+Code Suggestions offer a completion if the machine learning engine can generate a recommendation.
+In the event of a connection issue or model inference failure, the feature gracefully degrades.
+Code Suggestions do not prevent you from writing code in VS Code.
+

+Code Suggestions only work when you have internet connectivity and can access GitLab.com.
+Code Suggestions are not available for self-managed customers, nor customers operating within an offline environment.
+
+### Stability and performance
+
+This feature is currently in [Beta](/ee/policy/alpha-beta-support.md#beta).
+While the Code Suggestions inference API operates completely within the GitLab.com enterprise infrastructure,
+we expect a high demand for this Beta feature, which may cause degraded performance or unexpected downtime
+of the feature. We have built this feature to gracefully degrade and have controls in place to allow us to
+mitigate abuse or misuse. GitLab may disable this feature for any or all customers at any time at our discretion.
+
+### Model accuracy and quality
+
+While in Beta, Code Suggestions can generate low-quality, incomplete, and possibly insecure code.
+We strongly encourage all beta users to leverage GitLab native
+[Code Quality Scanning](../../../ci/testing/code_quality.md) and
+[Security Scanning](../../application_security/index.md) capabilities.
+
+GitLab uses a customized open source dataset to fine-tune the model to support multiple languages.
+Based on the languages you code in, GitLab routes the request to a targeted inference and prompt engine
+to get relevant suggestions.
+
+GitLab is actively refining these models to:
+
+- Improve the quality of recommendations.
+- Add support for more languages.
+- Add protections to limit personal data, insecure code, and other unwanted behavior
+ that the model may have learned from training data.
+
+## Known limitations
+
+While in Beta, we are working on improving the accuracy of overall generated content.
+However, Code Suggestions may generate suggestions that are:
+
+- Low-quality
+- Incomplete
+- Produce failed pipelines
+- Insecure code
+- Offensive or insensitive
+
+We are also aware of specific situations that can produce unexpected or incoherent results including:
+
+- Suggestions based on natural language code comments.
+- Suggestions that mixed programming languages in unexpected ways.

# File finder **(FREE)**
-The file finder feature allows you to search for a file in a repository using the
-GitLab UI. To use it:
+With file finder, you can search for a file in a repository directly from the GitLab UI.
-1. Go to your project's **Repository > Files**.
-1. In the upper right corner, select **Find File**.
+File finder is powered by the [`fuzzaldrin-plus`](https://github.com/jeancroy/fuzz-aldrin-plus) library, which uses fuzzy search and highlights results as you type.
-If you prefer to keep your fingers on the keyboard, use the
-[shortcut button](../../shortcuts.md), which you can invoke from anywhere
-in a project.
+## Search for a file
-Press `t` to launch the File search function when in **Issues**,
-**Merge requests**, **Milestones**, even the project's settings.
+To search for a file:
-Start typing what you are searching for and watch the magic happen. With the
-up/down arrows, you go up and down the results, with `Esc` you close the search
-and go back to **Files**
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Repository > Files**.
+1. In the upper right, select **Find file**.
+1. In the search box, start typing the filename.
+1. From the dropdown list, select the file.
-## How it works
+To go to file finder, you can also press <kbd>t</kbd> anywhere in your project.
+To go back to **Files**, press <kbd>Esc</kbd>.
-The File finder feature is powered by the [Fuzzy filter](https://github.com/jeancroy/fuzz-aldrin-plus) library.
-
-It implements a fuzzy search with the highlight and tries to provide intuitive
-results by recognizing patterns that people use while searching.
-
-For example, consider the [GitLab FOSS repository](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/tree/master) and that we want to open
-the `app/controllers/admin/deploy_keys_controller.rb` file.
-
-Using a fuzzy search, we start by typing letters that get us closer to the file.
-
-NOTE:
-To narrow down your search, include `/` in your search terms.

+# Tags **(FREE)**
+
+In Git, a tag marks an important point in a repository's history.
+Git supports two types of tags:
+
+- **Lightweight tags** point to specific commits, and contain no other information.
+ Also known as soft tags. Create or remove them as needed.
+- **Annotated tags** contain metadata, can be signed for verification purposes,
+ and can't be changed.
+
+The creation or deletion of a tag can be used as a trigger for automation, including:
+
+- Using a [webhook](../../integrations/webhook_events.md#tag-events) to automate actions
+ like Slack notifications.
+- Signaling a [repository mirror](../mirror/index.md) to update.
+- Running a CI/CD pipeline with [`if: $CI_COMMIT_TAG`](../../../../ci/jobs/job_control.md#common-if-clauses-for-rules).
+
+When you [create a release](../../releases/index.md),
+GitLab also creates a tag to mark the release point.
+Many projects combine an annotated release tag with a stable branch. Consider
+setting deployment or release tags automatically.
+
+In the GitLab UI, each tag displays:
+
+![Example of a single tag](img/tag-display_v15_9.png)
+
+- The tag name. (**{tag}**)
+- Optional. If the tag is [protected](../../protected_tags.md), a **protected** badge.
+- The commit SHA (**{commit}**), linked to the commit's contents.
+- The commit's title and creation date.
+- Optional. A link to the release (**{rocket}**).
+- Optional. If a pipeline has been run, the current pipeline status.
+- Download links to the source code and artifacts linked to the tag.
+- A [**Create release**](../../releases/index.md#create-a-release) (**{pencil}**) link.
+- A link to delete the tag.
+
+## View tags for a project
+
+To view all existing tags for a project:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Repository > Tags**.
+
+## View tagged commits in the commits list
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/18795) in GitLab 15.10.
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Repository > Commits**.
+1. Commits with a tag are labeled with a tag icon (**{tag}**) and the name of the tag.
+ This example shows a commit tagged `v1.26.0`:
+
+ ![A tagged commit in the Commits view](img/tags_commits_view_v15_10.png)
+
+To view the list of commits in this tag, select the tag name.
+
+## Create a tag
+
+Tags can be created from the command line, or the GitLab UI.
+
+### From the command line
+
+To create either a lightweight or annotated tag from the command line, and push it upstream:
+
+1. To create a lightweight tag, run the command `git tag TAG_NAME`, changing
+ `TAG_NAME` to your desired tag name.
+1. To create an annotated tag, run one of the versions of `git tag` from the command line:
+
+ ```shell
+ # In this short version, the annotated tag's name is "v1.0",
+ # and the message is "Version 1.0".
+ git tag -a v1.0 -m "Version 1.0"
+
+ # Use this version to write a longer tag message
+ # for annotated tag "v1.0" in your text editor.
+ git tag -a v1.0
+ ```
+
+1. Push your tags upstream with `git push origin --tags`.
+
+### From the UI
+
+To create a tag from the GitLab UI:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Repository > Tags**.
+1. Select **New tag**.
+1. Provide a **Tag name**.
+1. For **Create from**, select an existing branch name, tag, or commit SHA.
+1. Optional. Add a **Message** to create an annotated tag, or leave blank to
+ create a lightweight tag.
+1. Select **Create tag**.
+
+## Prevent tag deletion **(PREMIUM)**
+
+To prevent users from removing a tag with `git push`, create a [push rule](../push_rules.md).
+
+## Trigger pipelines from a tag
+
+GitLab CI/CD provides a [`CI_COMMIT_TAG` variable](../../../../ci/variables/predefined_variables.md)
+to identify tags. Use this variable in job rules and workflow rules to test if the pipeline
+was triggered by a tag.
+
+In your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file for the CI/CD pipeline configuration of your project,
+you can trigger based on a new tag:
+
+- At the job level, with the [`only` keyword](../../../../ci/yaml/index.md#only--except).
+- At the pipeline level, with the [workflow rules keywords](../../../../ci/yaml/workflow.md).

-Consequently, migrating projects using file exports does not map user contributions correctly when you are importing
-projects from a self-managed instance to GitLab.com.

-- [Export a project and its data](../settings/import_export.md#export-a-project-and-its-data).
-- [Import the project](../settings/import_export.md#import-a-project-and-its-data).
+Therefore, user contributions never map correctly when importing file exports from a self-managed instance to GitLab.com. Instead, all GitLab user associations (such as

-To preserve contribution history, [migrate using direct transfer](../../group/import/index.md#migrate-groups-by-direct-transfer-recommended).
+- [Migrate by direct transfer](../../group/import/index.md#migrate-groups-by-direct-transfer-recommended).
+- Consider paid GitLab [migration services](https://about.gitlab.com/services/migration/).
-If you migrate from GitLab.com to self-managed GitLab, an administrator can create users on the self-managed GitLab instance.
+### Migrating to GitLab self-managed
+
+To ensure GitLab maps users and their contributions correctly:
+
+- The owner of the project's top-level group should export the project so that the information of all members (direct and inherited) with access to the project can be included in the exported file. Project maintainers and owners can initiate the project export. However, only direct members of a project are then exported.
+- An administrator must perform the import with an administrator access token.
+- Required users must exist on the destination GitLab instance. An administrator can create confirmed users either in bulk in a Rails console or one by one in the UI.
+- Users must [set a public email in their profiles](../../profile/index.md#set-your-public-email) on the source GitLab instance that matches their primary email
+ address on the destination GitLab instance. You can also manually add users' public emails by
+ [editing project export files](#edit-project-export-files).
+
+When the email of an existing user matches the email of an imported user, that user is added as a [direct member](../members/index.md) to the imported project.
+
+If any of the previous conditions are not met, user contributions are not mapped correctly. Instead, all GitLab user associations are changed to the user who performed the import.
+That user becomes an author of merge requests created by other users. Supplementary comments mentioning original authors are:
+
+- Added for comments, merge request approvals, linked tasks, and items.
+- Not added for the merge request or issue creator, added or removed labels, and merged-by information.
+
+## Edit project export files
+
+You can add or remove data from export files. For example, you can:
+
+- Manually add users public emails to the `project_members.ndjson` file.
+- Trim CI pipelines by removing lines from the `ci_pipelines.ndjson` file.
+
+To edit a project export file:
+
+1. Extract the exported `.tar.gz` file.
+1. Edit the appropriate file . For example, `tree/project/project_members.ndjson`.
+1. Compress the files back to a `.tar.gz` file.

+# System notes **(FREE)**
+
+System notes are short descriptions that help you understand the history of events
+that occur during the life cycle of a GitLab object, such as:
+
+- [Alerts](../../operations/incident_management/alerts.md).
+- [Designs](issues/design_management.md).
+- [Issues](issues/index.md).
+- [Merge requests](merge_requests/index.md).
+- [Objectives and key results](../okrs.md) (OKRs).
+- [Tasks](../tasks.md).
+
+GitLab logs information about events triggered by Git or the GitLab application
+in system notes. System notes use the format `<Author> <action> <time ago>`.
+
+## Show or filter system notes
+
+By default, system notes do not display. When displayed, they are shown oldest first.
+If you change the filter or sort options, your selection is remembered across sections.
+The filtering options are:
+
+- **Show all activity** displays both comments and history.
+- **Show comments only** hides system notes.
+- **Show history only** hides user comments.
+
+### On an epic
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Epics** (**{epic}**).
+1. Identify your desired epic, and select its title.

# Web IDE **(FREE)**
-The Web IDE is an advanced editor with commit staging.
-You can use the Web IDE to make changes to multiple files directly from the
-GitLab UI. For a more basic implementation, see [Web Editor](../repository/web_editor.md).
-
-NOTE:
-The Web IDE is being updated to use VS Code. For details,
-see [Web IDE Beta](../web_ide_beta/index.md).
-
-## Open the Web IDE
-
-Use the <kbd>.</kbd> [keyboard shortcut](../../shortcuts.md) to open the Web IDE.
-You can also open the Web IDE when viewing a file, from the repository file list,
-and from merge requests:
-
-### When viewing a file or the repository file list
-
- 1. In the upper right corner of the page, select **Open in Web IDE** if it is visible.
- 1. If **Open in Web IDE** is not visible:
- 1. Select the (**{chevron-lg-down}**) next to **Edit** or **Gitpod**, depending on your configuration.
- 1. Select **Open in Web IDE** from the list to display it as the editing option.
- 1. Select **Open in Web IDE** to open the editor.
-
-### When viewing a merge request
-
- 1. Go to your merge request.
- 1. In the upper right corner, select **Code > Open in Web IDE**.
-
-## File finder
-
-The file finder allows you to quickly open files in the current branch by
-searching for fragments of the file path. The file finder is launched using the keyboard shortcut
-<kbd>Command</kbd>+<kbd>p</kbd>, <kbd>Control</kbd>+<kbd>p</kbd>, or <kbd>t</kbd>
-(when editor is not in focus). Type the filename or file path fragments to
-start seeing results.
-
-## Command palette
+> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/95169) in GitLab 15.7 [with a flag](../../../administration/feature_flags.md) named `vscode_web_ide`. Disabled by default.
+> - [Enabled on GitLab.com](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/371084) in GitLab 15.7.
+> - [Enabled on self-managed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/115741) in GitLab 15.11.
-You can see all available commands for manipulating editor content by pressing
-the <kbd>F1</kbd> key when the editor is in focus. After that, the editor displays
-a complete list of available commands for
-manipulating editor content. The editor supports commands for multi-cursor
-editing, code block folding, commenting, searching and replacing, navigating
-editor warnings and suggestions, and more.
+FLAG:
+On self-managed GitLab, by default this feature is available. To hide the feature, ask an administrator to [disable the feature flag](../../../administration/feature_flags.md) named `vscode_web_ide`. On GitLab.com, this feature is available.
-Some commands have a keyboard shortcut assigned to them. The command palette
-displays this shortcut next to each command. You can use this shortcut to invoke
-the command without having to select it in the command palette.
-
-For a full list of keyboard shortcuts in the Web IDE, refer to the
-[Keyboard shortcuts](../../shortcuts.md#web-ide) list.
-
-## Syntax highlighting
-
-As expected from an IDE, syntax highlighting for many languages in
-the Web IDE makes your direct editing even easier.
-
-The Web IDE currently provides:
-
-- Basic syntax colorization for a variety of programming, scripting and markup
- languages such as XML, PHP, C#, C++, Markdown, Java, VB, Batch, Python, Ruby,
- and Objective-C.
-- IntelliSense and validation support (displaying errors and warnings, providing
- smart completions, formatting, and outlining) for some languages. For example:
- TypeScript, JavaScript, CSS, LESS, SCSS, JSON, and HTML.
-
-Because the Web IDE is based on the [Monaco Editor](https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/),
-you can find a more complete list of supported languages in the
-[Monaco languages](https://github.com/Microsoft/monaco-languages) repository. Under the hood,
-Monaco uses the [Monarch](https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/monarch.html) library for syntax highlighting.
+The Web IDE is an advanced editor with commit staging.
+You can use the Web IDE to make changes to multiple files directly from the GitLab UI.
+For a more basic implementation, see [Web Editor](../repository/web_editor.md).
-If you are missing Syntax Highlighting support for any language, we prepared a short guide on how to [add support for a missing language Syntax Highlighting.](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/ide/lib/languages/README.md)
+To pair the Web IDE with a remote development environment, see [remote development](../remote_development/index.md).
-### Themes
+## Use the Web IDE
-> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/2389) in GitLab 13.0.
-> - Full Solarized Dark Theme [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/219228) in GitLab 13.1.
-> - Full [Solarized Light](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/221035) and [Monokai](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/221034) Themes introduced in GitLab 13.6.
+To open the Web IDE from the GitLab UI:
-All the themes GitLab supports for syntax highlighting are applied to the entire Web IDE screen.
-You can pick a theme from your [profile preferences](../../profile/preferences.md).
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
+1. Use the <kbd>.</kbd> keyboard shortcut.
-| Solarized Dark Theme | Dark Theme |
-|-------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------|
-| ![Solarized Dark Theme](img/solarized_dark_theme_v13_1.png) | ![Dark Theme](img/dark_theme_v13_0.png) |
+You can also open the Web IDE from:
-## Link to specific lines
+- A file
+- The repository file list
+- A merge request
-The Web IDE and the [Web Editor](../repository/web_editor.md) share the
-same core features. To link to specific lines in the Web IDE, see
-[Web Editor](../repository/web_editor.md#link-to-specific-lines).
+### From a file or the repository file list
-## Schema based validation
+To open the Web IDE from a file or the repository file list:
-> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/218472) validation based on predefined schemas in GitLab 13.2 [with a flag](../../../administration/feature_flags.md) named `schema_linting`.
-> - [Enabled by default](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/104399) in GitLab 15.7.
-> - On self-managed GitLab [enabled by default](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/107488) in GitLab 15.8.
+- In the upper-right corner of the page, select **Open in Web IDE**.
-The Web IDE provides validation support for certain JSON and YAML files using schemas
-based on the [JSON Schema Store](https://www.schemastore.org/json/).
+If **Open in Web IDE** is not visible:
-### Predefined schemas
+1. Next to **Edit** or **Gitpod**, select the down arrow (**{chevron-lg-down}**).
+1. From the dropdown list, select **Open in Web IDE**.
+1. Select **Open in Web IDE**.
-The Web IDE has validation for certain files built in. This feature is only supported for
-the `*.gitlab-ci.yml` files.
+### From a merge request
-### Custom schemas **(PREMIUM)**
+To open the Web IDE from a merge request:
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/226982) in GitLab 13.4.
+1. Go to your merge request.
+1. In the upper-right corner, select **Code > Open in Web IDE**.
-The Web IDE also allows you to define custom schemas for certain JSON/YAML files in your project.
-You can do so by defining a `schemas` entry in the `.gitlab/.gitlab-webide.yml` file inside the
-repository's root. Here is an example configuration:
+The Web IDE opens new and modified files in separate tabs and displays changes side by side with the original source.
+To optimize loading time, only the top 10 files (by number of lines changed) are opened automatically.
-```yaml
-schemas:
- - uri: https://json.schemastore.org/package
- match:
- - package.json
- - uri: https://somewebsite.com/first/raw/url
- match:
- - data/release_posts/unreleased/*.{yml,yaml}
- - uri: https://somewebsite.com/second/raw/url
- match:
- - "*.meta.json"
-```
+In the file tree, any new or modified file in the merge request is indicated by an icon next to the filename.
+To view changes to a file, right-click the filename and select **Compare with merge request base**.
-Each schema entry supports two properties:
+## Open a file in the Web IDE
-- `uri`: Provide an absolute URL for the schema definition file here.
- The schema from this URL is loaded when a matching file is open.
-- `match`: A list of matching paths or glob expressions. If a schema matches a
- particular path pattern, it is applied to that file. Enclose the pattern
- in quotes if it begins with an asterisk (`*`), it's be applied to that file.
- If a pattern begins with an asterisk (`*`), enclose it in quotation marks.
- Otherwise, the configuration file is not valid YAML.
+To open any file by its name:
-## Configure the Web IDE
+1. Press <kbd>Command</kbd>+<kbd>P</kbd>.
+1. Enter the name of your file.
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/23352) in GitLab 13.1.
+![fuzzy_finder_v15_7](img/fuzzy_finder_v15_7.png)
-The Web IDE supports configuration of certain editor settings by using
-[`.editorconfig` files](https://editorconfig.org/). When opening a file, the
-Web IDE looks for a file named `.editorconfig` in the current directory
-and all parent directories. If a configuration file is found and has settings
-that match the file's path, these settings are enforced on the opened file.
+## Search across files
-The Web IDE currently supports the following `.editorconfig` settings:
+You can use the Web IDE to search all files in the opened folder.
-- `indent_style`
-- `indent_size`
-- `end_of_line`
-- `trim_trailing_whitespace`
-- `tab_width`
-- `insert_final_newline`
+To search across files:
-## Commit changes
+1. Press <kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>Command</kbd>+<kbd>F</kbd>.
+1. Enter your search term.
-> - [Starting](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/33441) with GitLab 12.7, files are automatically staged.
-> - In GitLab 12.9, support for staging files was [removed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/196609) to prevent loss of unstaged data. All of your current changes must be committed or discarded.
+In the Web IDE, only partial results from opened files are displayed.
-After making your changes, select **Commit** on the bottom-left to
-review the list of changed files.
+## View a list of changed files
-After you have finalized your changes, you can add a commit message, commit the
-changes and directly create a merge request. In case you don't have write
-access to the selected branch, you see a warning, but can still create
-a new branch and start a merge request.
+To view a list of files you changed in the Web IDE:
-To discard a change in a particular file, select **Discard changes** on that
-file in the changes tab. To discard all the changes, select the trash icon in the
-upper-right corner of the changes sidebar.
+- On the activity bar on the left, select **Source Control**,
+ or press <kbd>Control</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>G</kbd>.
-![Commit changes](img/commit_changes_v13_11.png)
+Your `CHANGES`, `STAGED CHANGES`, and `MERGE CHANGES` are displayed.
+For more information, see the [VS Code documentation](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/sourcecontrol/overview#_commit).
-## Reviewing changes
+## Upload a new file
-Before you commit your changes, you can compare them with the previous commit
-by switching to the review mode or selecting the file from the list of changes.
+To upload a new file and add it to the Git repository:
-An additional review mode is available when you open a merge request, which
-shows you a preview of the merge request diff if you commit your changes.
+1. In the **Explorer** file tree, navigate to the directory where you want to upload the file.
+1. Optional. If the directory does not exist yet, select the directory path where you want to have a new directory and either:
+ - Right-click on the directory path, and select **New Folder...**. You can create a nested directory path with the `/` separator, for example `parentdir/subdir1/subdir2`.
+ - In the **Explorer** panel, in the upper-right corner, select the new folder (**{folder-new}**) icon.
+1. Enter the name of the new directory, and press <kbd>Enter/Return</kbd> to create it.
+1. Right-click on the directory path and select `Upload...`.
+1. Select the file you want to upload, then select `Open`. You can select and add multiple files at once.
-## View CI job logs
+The file is uploaded and automatically added as a new file to the Git repository.
-You can use the Web IDE to quickly fix failing tests by opening
-the branch or merge request in the Web IDE and opening the logs of the failed
-job. You can access the status of all jobs for the most recent pipeline and job
-traces for the current commit by selecting the **Pipelines** button in the top
-right.
+## Switch branches

-GitLab.com shared runners [do not yet support Interactive Web Terminals](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/24674),
-so you must use your own private runner to make use of this feature.
+The Web IDE Extension Marketplace is based on Open VSX. Open VSX does not collect any
+data about you or your activities on the platform.
-[Interactive Web Terminals](../../../ci/interactive_web_terminal/index.md)
-give the project [Maintainers](../../permissions.md#project-members-permissions)
-user access to a terminal to interact with the runner directly from
-GitLab, including through the Web IDE.
+However, the privacy and data collection practices of extensions available on Open VSX can vary.
+Some extensions might collect data to provide personalized recommendations or to improve the functionality.
+Other extensions might collect data for analytics or advertising purposes.
-### Runner configuration
+To protect your privacy and data:
-Some things must be configured in the runner for the interactive web terminal
-to work:
+- Carefully review the permissions requested by an extension before you install the extension.
+- Keep your extensions up to date to ensure that any security or privacy vulnerabilities are addressed promptly. -->
-- The runner needs to have
- [`[session_server]` configured properly](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/configuration/advanced-configuration.html#the-session_server-section).
- This section requires at least a `session_timeout` value (which defaults to 1800
- seconds) and a `listen_address` value. If `advertise_address` is not defined, `listen_address` is used.
-- If you are using a reverse proxy with your GitLab instance, web terminals must be
- [enabled](../../../administration/integration/terminal.md#enabling-and-disabling-terminal-support).
+## Interactive web terminals for the Web IDE (Beta)
-If you have the terminal open and the job has finished with its tasks, the
-terminal blocks the job from finishing for the duration configured in
-[`[session_server].session_timeout`](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/configuration/advanced-configuration.html#the-session_server-section)
-until you close the terminal window.
-
-NOTE:
-Not all executors are
-[supported](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/#compatibility-chart).
-The [File Sync](#file-syncing-to-web-terminal) feature is supported on Kubernetes runners only.
-
-### Web IDE configuration file
-
-To enable the Web IDE terminals you must create the file
-`.gitlab/.gitlab-webide.yml` inside the repository's root. This
-file is fairly similar to the [`.gitlab-ci.yml` file](../../../ci/yaml/index.md)
-syntax but with some restrictions:
-
-- No global blocks (such as `before_script` or `after_script`) can be defined.
-- Only one job named `terminal` can be added to this file.
-- Only the keywords `image`, `services`, `tags`, `before_script`, `script`, and
- `variables` are allowed to be used to configure the job.
-- To connect to the interactive terminal, the `terminal` job must be still alive
- and running, otherwise the terminal cannot connect to the job's session.
- By default the `script` keyword has the value `sleep 60` to prevent
- the job from ending and giving the Web IDE enough time to connect. This means
- that, if you override the default `script` value, you have to add a command
- which would keep the job running, like `sleep`.
-
-For example, with this configuration file:
-
-```yaml
-terminal:
- # This can be any image that has the necessary runtime environment for your project.
- image: node:10-alpine
- before_script:
- - apk update
- script: sleep 60
- variables:
- RAILS_ENV: "test"
- NODE_ENV: "test"
-```
-
-After the terminal starts, the console is displayed and you can access
-the project repository files.
-
-When you use the `image` keyword, a container with the specified image is created.
-If you use the [shell executor](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/shell.html)
-or the [SSH executor](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/ssh.html), `image` has no effect.
-
-The terminal job is branch dependent. The configuration file used to trigger
-and configure the terminal is the one in the selected branch of the Web IDE.
-If no configuration file exists in a branch, an error message is displayed.
-
-### Running interactive terminals in the Web IDE
-
-If Interactive Terminals are available for the current user, the **Terminal** button is visible in the right sidebar of the Web IDE. Select this button to open
-or close the terminal tab.
-
-After opening, the tab shows the **Start Web Terminal** button. This button may
-be disabled if the environment is not configured correctly. If so, a status
-message describes the issue. Here are some reasons why **Start Web Terminal**
-may be disabled:
-
-- `.gitlab/.gitlab-webide.yml` does not exist or is set up incorrectly.
-- No active private runners are available for the project.
-
-If active, selecting the **Start Web Terminal** button loads the terminal view
-and start connecting to the runner's terminal. At any time, the **Terminal** tab
-can be closed and reopened and the state of the terminal is not affected.
-
-When the terminal is started and is successfully connected to the runner, then the
-runner's shell prompt appears in the terminal. From here, you can enter
-commands executed in the runner's environment. This is similar
-to running commands in a local terminal or through SSH.
-
-While the terminal is running, it can be stopped by selecting **Stop Terminal**.
-This disconnects the terminal and stops the runner's terminal job. From here,
-select **Restart Terminal** to start a new terminal session.
-
-### File syncing to web terminal
-
-> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/5276) in GitLab 12.0.
-> - [Moved](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/211686) from GitLab Ultimate to GitLab Free in 13.1.
-
-File changes in the Web IDE can be synced to a running web terminal.
-This enables users to test their code changes in a preconfigured terminal
-environment.
-
-NOTE:
-Only file changes in the Web IDE are synced to the terminal.
-Changes made in the terminal are **not** synced to the Web IDE.
-This feature is only available for Kubernetes runners.
-
-To enable file syncing to the web terminal, the `.gitlab/.gitlab-webide.yml`
-file needs to have a `webide-file-sync` service configured. Here is an example
-configuration for a Node JS project which uses this service:
-
-```yaml
-terminal:
- # This can be any image that has the necessary runtime environment for your project.
- image:
- name: node:10-alpine
- services:
- - name: registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/webide-file-sync:latest
- alias: webide-file-sync
- entrypoint: ["/bin/sh"]
- command: ["-c", "sleep 5 && ./webide-file-sync -project-dir $CI_PROJECT_DIR"]
- ports:
- # The `webide-file-sync` executable defaults to port 3000.
- - number: 3000
-```
-
-- The `webide-file-sync` executable must start **after** the project
- directory is available. This is why we must add `sleep 5` to the `command`.
- See [this issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/webide-file-sync/-/issues/7) for
- more information.
-- `$CI_PROJECT_DIR` is a
- [predefined CI/CD variable](../../../ci/variables/predefined_variables.md)
- for GitLab Runners. This is where your project's repository resides.
-
-After you have configured the web terminal for file syncing, then when the web
-terminal is started, a **Terminal** status is visible in the status bar.
-
-![Web IDE Client Side Evaluation](img/terminal_status.png)
-
-Changes made to your files via the Web IDE sync to the running terminal
-when:
-
-- <kbd>Control</kbd> + <kbd>S</kbd> (or <kbd>Command</kbd> + <kbd>S</kbd> on Mac)
- is pressed while editing a file.
-- You select any area outside the file editor after editing a file.
-- A file or folder is created, deleted, or renamed.
-
-### Known issues
-
-The Web IDE has a few limitations:
-
-- Interactive Terminals is in a beta phase and continues to be improved in upcoming releases. In the meantime, the user is limited to having only one
- active terminal at a time.
-- LFS files can be rendered and displayed but they cannot be updated and committed using the Web IDE. If an LFS file is modified and pushed to the repository, the LFS pointer in the repository is overwritten with the modified LFS file content.
+When you set up a remote development server in the Web IDE, you can use interactive web terminals to:
-### Troubleshooting
+- Access a remote shell on the server.
+- Interact with the server's file system and execute commands remotely.
-- If the terminal's text is gray and unresponsive, then the terminal has stopped
- and it can no longer be used. A stopped terminal can be restarted by selecting
- **Restart Terminal**.
-- If the terminal displays **Connection Failure**, then the terminal could not
- connect to the runner. Try to stop and restart the terminal. If the
- problem persists, double check your runner configuration.
-
-## Related topics
+You cannot use interactive web terminals to interact with a runner.
+However, you can use a terminal to install dependencies and compile and debug code.

+- Set up a Kubernetes cluster that the GitLab agent for Kubernetes supports. See the [supported Kubernetes versions](../clusters/agent/index.md#gitlab-agent-for-kubernetes-supported-cluster-versions).
+- Ensure autoscaling for the Kubernetes cluster is enabled.
+- In the Kubernetes cluster, verify that a [default storage class](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/storage-classes/) is defined so that volumes can be dynamically provisioned for each workspace.
+- In the Kubernetes cluster, install an Ingress controller of your choice (for example, `ingress-nginx`), and make that controller accessible over a domain. For example, point `*.workspaces.example.dev` and `workspaces.example.dev` to the load balancer exposed by the Ingress controller.
+- In the Kubernetes cluster, [install `gitlab-workspaces-proxy`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/remote-development/gitlab-workspaces-proxy#installation-instructions).
+- In the Kubernetes cluster, [install the GitLab agent for Kubernetes](../clusters/agent/install/index.md).
+- Configure remote development settings for the GitLab agent with this snippet:
-## Related topics
+ ```yaml

+ enabled: true
+ dns_zone: "workspaces.example.dev"
+ ```
-- [Organization developer documentation](../../development/workspace/index.md)
+ Update `dns_zone` as needed.
+
+- In each public project you want to use this feature for, define a [devfile](#devfile). Ensure the container images used in the devfile support [arbitrary user IDs](#arbitrary-user-ids).
+
+### Create a workspace
+
+To create a workspace in GitLab:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
+1. In the root directory of your project, create a file named `.devfile.yaml`.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Workspaces**.
+1. In the upper right, select **New workspace**.
+1. From the **Select project** dropdown list, select a project with a `.devfile.yaml` file. You can only create workspaces for public projects.
+1. From the **Select cluster agent** dropdown list, select a cluster agent owned by the group the project belongs to.
+1. In **Time before automatic termination**, enter the number of hours until the workspace automatically terminates. This timeout is a safety measure to prevent a workspace from consuming excessive resources or running indefinitely.
+1. Select **Create workspace**.
+
+The workspace might take a few minutes to start. To access the workspace, under **Preview**, select the workspace link.
+You also have access to the terminal and can install any necessary dependencies.
+
+## Devfile
+
+A devfile is a file that defines a development environment by specifying the necessary tools, languages, runtimes, and other components for a GitLab project.
+
+Workspaces have built-in support for devfiles. You can specify a devfile for your project in the GitLab configuration file. The devfile is used to automatically configure the development environment with the defined specifications.
+
+This way, you can create consistent and reproducible development environments regardless of the machine or platform you use.
+
+### Relevant schema properties
+
+GitLab only supports the `container` and `volume` components in [devfile 2.2.0](https://devfile.io/docs/2.2.0/devfile-schema).
+Use the `container` component to define a container image as the execution environment for a devfile workspace.
+You can specify the base image, dependencies, and other settings.
+
+Only these properties are relevant to the GitLab implementation of the `container` component:
+
+| Properties | Definition |
+|----------------| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| `image` | Name of the container image to use for the workspace. |
+| `memoryRequest`| Minimum amount of memory the container can use. |
+| `memoryLimit` | Maximum amount of memory the container can use. |
+| `cpuRequest` | Minimum amount of CPU the container can use. |
+| `cpuLimit` | Maximum amount of CPU the container can use. |
+| `env` | Environment variables to use in the container. |
+| `endpoints` | Port mappings to expose from the container. |
+| `volumeMounts` | Storage volume to mount in the container. |
+
+### Example definition
+
+The following is an example devfile:
+
+```yaml
+schemaVersion: 2.2.0
+components:
+ - name: tooling-container
+ attributes:
+ gl/inject-editor: true
+ container:
+ image: registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/remote-development/gitlab-remote-development-docs/debian-bullseye-ruby-3.2-node-18.12:rubygems-3.4-git-2.33-lfs-2.9-yarn-1.22-graphicsmagick-1.3.36-gitlab-workspaces
+ env:
+ - name: KEY
+ value: VALUE
+ endpoints:
+ - name: http-3000
+ targetPort: 3000
+```
+
+For more information, see the [devfile documentation](https://devfile.io/docs/2.2.0/devfile-schema).
+For other examples, see the [`examples` projects](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/remote-development/examples).
+
+This container image is for demonstration purposes only. To use your own container image, see [Arbitrary user IDs](#arbitrary-user-ids).
+
+## Web IDE
+
+Workspaces are bundled with the Web IDE by default. The Web IDE is the only code editor available for workspaces.
+
+The Web IDE is powered by the [GitLab VS Code fork](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-web-ide-vscode-fork). For more information, see [Web IDE](../project/web_ide/index.md).
+
+## Private repositories
+
+You cannot create a workspace for a private repository because GitLab does not inject any credentials into the workspace. You can only create a workspace for public repositories that have a devfile.
+
+From a workspace, you can clone any repository manually.
+
+## Pod interaction in a cluster
+
+Workspaces run as pods in a Kubernetes cluster. GitLab does not impose any restrictions on the manner in which pods interact with each other.
+
+Because of this requirement, you might want to isolate this feature from other containers in your cluster.
+
+## Network access and workspace authorization
+
+It's the client's responsibility to restrict network access to the Kubernetes control plane as GitLab does not have control over the API.
+
+Only the workspace creator can access the workspace and any endpoints exposed in that workspace. The workspace creator is only authorized to access the workspace after user authentication with OAuth.
+
+## Compute resources and volume storage
+
+When you stop a workspace, the compute resources for that workspace are scaled down to zero. However, the volume provisioned for the workspace still exists.
+
+To delete the provisioned volume, you must terminate the workspace.
+
+## Disable remote development in the GitLab agent for Kubernetes
+
+You can stop the `remote_development` module of the GitLab agent for Kubernetes from communicating with GitLab. To disable remote development in the GitLab agent configuration, set this property:
+
+```yaml
+remote_development:
+ enabled: false
+```
+
+If you already have running workspaces, an administrator must manually delete these workspaces in Kubernetes.
+
+## Arbitrary user IDs
+
+You can provide your own container image, which can run as any Linux user ID. It's not possible for GitLab to predict the Linux user ID for a container image.
+GitLab uses the Linux root group ID permission to create, update, or delete files in the container. CRI-O, the container runtime interface used by Kubernetes, has a default group ID of `0` for all containers.
+
+If you have a container image that does not support arbitrary user IDs, you cannot create, update, or delete files in a workspace. To create a container image that supports arbitrary user IDs, see the [OpenShift documentation](https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.12/openshift_images/create-images.html#use-uid_create-images).
