Integrate with AWS

Learn how to integrate GitLab and AWS.

This content is intended for GitLab team members as well as members of the wider community.

This page attempts to index the ways in which GitLab can integrate with AWS. It does so whether the integration is the result of configuring general functionality, was built in to AWS or GitLab or is provided as a solution.

Text Tag Configuration / Built / Solution Support/Maintenance
[AWS Configuration] Integration via Configuring Existing AWS Functionality AWS
[GitLab Configuration] Integration via Configuring Existing GitLab Functionality GitLab
[AWS Built] Built into AWS by Product Team to Address AWS Integration AWS
[GitLab Built] Built into GitLab by Product Team to Address AWS Integration GitLab
[AWS Solution] Built as Solution Example by AWS or AWS Partners Community/Example
[GitLab Solution] Built as Solution Example by GitLab or GitLab Partners Community/Example
[CI Solution] Built, at least in part, using GitLab CI and therefore
more customer customizable. 		Items tagged [CI Solution will]
also carry one of the other tags
that indicates the maintenance status.

Integrations For Development Activities

SCM Integrations

  • AWS CodeStar Connections - enables SCM connections to multiple AWS Services. Currently for GitLab.com SaaS only. Configure GitLab. Supported Providers. Supported AWS Services - each one may have to make updates to support GitLab, so here is the subset that currently support GitLab [AWS Built]
    • AWS CodePipeline Integration - use GitLab as source for CodePipeline. [AWS Built]
    • AWS CodeBuild Integration - indirectly through CodePipeline support. [AWS Built]
    • Amazon CodeWhisperer Customization Capability can connect to a GitLab repo. [AWS Built]
    • AWS Service Catalog directly inherits CodeStar Connections, there is not any specific documentation about GitLab since it just uses any GitLab CodeStar Connection that has been created in the account. [AWS Built]
    • AWS Proton directly inherits CodeStar Connections, there is not any specific documentation about GitLab since it just uses any GitLab CodeStar Connection that has been created in the account. [AWS Built]
    • AWS Glue Notebook Jobs directly inherit CodeStar Connections, there is not any specific documentation about GitLab since it just uses any GitLab CodeStar Connection that has been created in the account. [AWS Built]
    • Amazon SageMaker MLOps Projects are done in CodePipeline and so directly inherit CodeStar Connections (as noted here), there is not any specific documentation about GitLab since it just uses any GitLab CodeStar Connection that has been created in the account. [AWS Built]
    • Amazon SageMaker Notebooks allow Git repositories to be specified by the Git clone URL and configuration of a secret - so GitLab is configurable. [AWS Configuration]
    • AWS CloudFormation publishing of public extensions - not yet supported. [AWS Built]
    • Amazon CodeGuru Reviewer Repositories - not yet supported. [AWS Built]
  • GitLab Push Mirroring to CodeCommit Workaround enables GitLab repositories to leverage CodePipeline SCM Triggers. GitLab can already leverage S3 and Container Triggers for CodePipeline. Still required for Self-Managed and Dedicated for the time being. [GitLab Configuration]

CI Integrations

  • Direct CI Integrations That Use Keys, IAM or OIDC/JWT to Authenticate to AWS Services from GitLab Runners

CD and Operations Integrations

Solutions For Specific Development Frameworks and Ecosystems

Generally solutions demonstrate end-to-end capabilities for the development framework - leveraging all relevant integration techniques to show the art of maximum value for using GitLab and AWS together.

Serverless Development

Infrastructure as Code

.Net on AWS

Authentication Integration
