GitLab Duo: AI for DevOps, CI/CD & Agentic Coding

About this course

This course is designed to teach GitLab users how to integrate the GitLab Duo Agent Platform into their daily workflows to streamline the entire development lifecycle and achieve true Agentic DevOps.The GitLab Duo Agent Platform is the next evolution of GitLab’s AI features, adding true agentic capabilities for complex, multi-step tasks where the AI can reason and execute workflows more independently. Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:Master AI Agent Fundamentals by differentiating between non-agentic AI tools (like Code Suggestions and Duo Chat) and the advanced capabilities of the GitLab Duo Agent Platform.Accelerate Planning and Backlog Management utilizing the specialized Planner Agent to create structured work items from unstructured ideas, break down large initiatives, and manage prioritization using frameworks like RICE.1Drive AI-Powered Development using Foundational Flows and the GitLab extension for common use-cases such as code refactoring, automating documentation, generating testing plans, and using the Code Review Flow to assign automated review comments and check for best practices in merge requests.Automate CI/CD and Troubleshooting by using agentic chat to create and modify GitLab CI/CD pipelines, and applying the dedicated Fix CI/CD Pipeline Flow to troubleshoot and resolve common CI/CD failures.Integrate DevSecOps by using AI to analyze vulnerabilities in the Vulnerability Report and applying the Security Analyst agent to fix issues and address security compliance standards (e.g., OWASP, SOC 2).Utilize Advanced Tools, including the Duo CLI for command-line interaction and configuring custom agents and flows to meet
