Cluster Environments (PREMIUM)

• Introduced in GitLab Premium 12.3 for group-level clusters.
• Introduced in GitLab Premium 12.4 for instance-level clusters.

Cluster environments provide a consolidated view of which CI environments are deployed to the Kubernetes cluster and it:

• Shows the project and the relevant environment related to the deployment.
• Displays the status of the pods for that environment.

Overview

With cluster environments, you can gain insight into:

• Which projects are deployed to the cluster.
• How many pods are in use for each project's environment.
• The CI job that was used to deploy to that environment.

Access to cluster environments is restricted to group maintainers and owners

Usage

In order to:

• Track environments for the cluster, you must deploy to a Kubernetes cluster successfully.
• Show pod usage correctly, you must enable Deploy Boards.

After you have successful deployments to your group-level or instance-level cluster:

1. Navigate to your group's Kubernetes page.
2. Click on the Environments tab.

Only successful deployments to the cluster are included in this page. Non-cluster environments aren't included.
