Deckhouse Code organizes collaborative work between software development and operations teams: it covers code storage and versioning, code review, CI/CD pipelines, and delivery to target environments.
Deckhouse Code covers the following scenarios:
- storing and versioning Git repositories, including forks, protected branches, and pull mirroring;
- reviewing and merging changes through merge requests with approval rules and merge trains;
- running CI/CD pipelines defined in
.gitlab-ci.yml; - managing projects, groups, and access rights;
- scanning code for vulnerabilities and tracking dependencies, in Enterprise Edition.
Installation types
Deckhouse Code is delivered as a Linux package, an Omnibus Docker image, a Helm Chart or a Deckhouse Kubernetes Platform module.
