Gitlab and Digital Ocean Kubernetes

If you haven’t used Gitlab’s Auto Devops product yet, and you’re in the DevOps or CI/CD space, you’re really missing out on the convenience that the Review App can bring. In order to get started, you’ll need a few things:

1. A Digital Ocean Account.
2. A little bit of working Knowledge about Digital Ocean’s Dashboard.
3. Be a Site Admin for GitLab
4. Some UNIX chops.

I’m going to assume that you have a GitLab instance up and running already. Setting this up is probably a bit outside of this article, but, I highly recommend the Omnibus installer for your sanity (and mine, honestly). Fortunately, you won’t need SSH access to your Gitlab instance, but you will need to be able to open a shell and do UNIX like things. I haven’t tested this on Windows, so, you’re on your own there.
