Cloud provider setup for the GitLab chart

all tiers

self-managed

Before you deploy the GitLab chart, you must configure resources for the cloud provider you choose.

The GitLab chart is intended to fit in a cluster with at least 8 vCPU and 30 GB of RAM. If you are trying to deploy a non-production instance, you can reduce the defaults to fit into a smaller cluster.

A Kubernetes cluster, running version 1.16 through 1.21, is required because of certain Kubernetes features. Support for Kubernetes 1.22 is under active development. For more information, see epic 6883.

• For cluster topology recommendations for an environment, see the reference architectures.
• For an example of tuning the resources to fit in a 3 vCPU 12 GB cluster, see the minimal GKE example values file.

Create and connect to a Kubernetes cluster in your environment:

• Azure Kubernetes Service
• Amazon EKS
• Google Kubernetes Engine
• OpenShift
• Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes
