Elliot Rushton and Rosalind Radcliffe talk Continuous Integration with GitLab, Inc. and IBM Z

In our latest episode, we had the opportunity to sit down with Elliot Rushton and Rosalind Radcliffe.  Elliot is an Engineering Manager at GitLab, Inc.  Beginning in 2019-2020 IBM Z had and continues to embrace a holistic approach to application development and delivery. And part of this strategy sees IBM Z tightly, seamlessly integrating open-source solutions alongside our other IBM-branded offerings.  That's where GitLab, Inc. joins the party.  Elliot and Rosalind spend some time talking about GitLab, and it’s CI (Continuous Integration) Runner.  And because of the interest in use of GitLab for SCM (Source Code Management) and CI in a z/OS environment, we’re aggressively meeting this demand.  Sure, understanding how this CI fits into the z/OS ecosystem can be tough to wrap your head around.  But we’re in luck, because both Elliot and Rosalind do an excellent job of distilling it down, making it much easier to understand. And why stop there?  Elliot also discusses some of GitLab's plans on the horizon.  So, stick around to the end to learn more about this blossoming relationship between GitLab, Inc. and IBM Z. And just for fun, we’re including some important links so you can learn more about this partnership: IBM Z and GitLab Tutorial  White Paper: Setting up the CI Pipeline Agent on IBM Z White Paper: Integrating IBM Z in GitLab CI pipelines GitLab and IBM Z documentation
