Following the introduction of auto-deploy to Kubernetes on OpenShift last month, GitLab 8.16 makes auto-deploy available on Google Cloud. Additionally, GitLab 8.16 improves its issue search and filter UI, and includes monitoring tool Prometheus and Slack-alternative Mattermost .
According to GitLab VP of product, Job van der Voort, making auto-deploy available on Google Container Engine (GCE) allows a much larger developer audience to take advantage of the possibility of deploying an app to Kubernetes from a GitLab instance using its auto-scaling CI features.
