Gitlab CI/CD

[memyselfandi]

Anyone know of any good training materials for creating pipelines in Gitlab (other than the official docs)?

Need to move some existing automation into some at work and unfortunately the person who I would talk to about it works in a different country and is leaving the company before I can really go through things with him. This means whilst I will be able to look at the existing pipelines for other things I won't really have anyone who can answer questions on them (we won't go into how I've been blocked for working on this for weeks due to other *********).

Current automation is not in a pipeline att all, it's a combination of Ansible and shell scripts (for the bits which require some logic which isn't really covered by Ansible)

Like I said its ansible (so YAML) and shell scripts. Together these combine to deploy new data files (pulled from a remote webserver) to various levels of systems after taking the system being updated out of its load balancer (making sure that the minimum levels are maintained in it).
