Key Topics Covered
Environment Variables: The video emphasizes the importance of using environment variables to parameterize CI/CD pipelines, making them more portable and flexible. It highlights the best practice of not hard-coding values and using GitLab's predefined environment variables to differentiate jobs based on git branches or tags.
Caching Dependencies: It discusses the benefits of caching dependencies to speed up CI/CD jobs. The video explains how caching can reduce the time taken to fetch and compile third-party modules, thereby making the CI/CD process faster and more efficient.
CI/CD Triggers: The video covers various methods to trigger CI/CD pipelines in GitLab, such as push operations, merge requests, tags, and webhooks. It also introduces GitLab's feature for manual intervention, allowing parts of the pipeline to run only after manual approval.
Conditional Job Execution: It delves into GitLab CI's only and except keywords, which provide flexibility in configuring pipelines. The video explains how these keywords can be used to define conditions under which jobs should run, based on branch names, tags, and merge requests, among other parameters.
