Auto DevOps automatically detects, builds, tests, deploys, and monitors your
applications.
Auto DevOps provides pre-defined CI/CD configuration which allows you to automatically detect, build, test,
deploy, and monitor your applications. Leveraging CI/CD best practices and tools, Auto DevOps aims
to simplify the setup and execution of a mature & modern software development lifecycle.
## Overview

With Auto DevOps, the software development process becomes easier to set up
as every project can have a complete workflow from verification to monitoring
without needing to configure anything. Just push your code and GitLab takes
with minimal configuration. Just push your code and GitLab takes
care of everything else. This makes it easier to start new projects and brings
consistency to how applications are set up throughout a company.

Engine (GKE).
If you are using a self-hosted instance of GitLab, you will need to configure the
[Google OAuth2 OmniAuth Provider](../../integration/google.md) before
you can configure a cluster on GKE. Once this is set up, you can follow the steps on the
[quick start guide](quick_start_guide.md) to get started.

full use of Auto DevOps are available. If this is your fist time, we recommend you follow the
[quick start guide](quick_start_guide.md).
To enable Auto DevOps to your project:
GitLab.com users can enable/disable Auto DevOps at the project-level only. Self-managed users
can enable/disable Auto DevOps at either the project-level or instance-level.
### Enabling/disabling Auto DevOps at the instance-level (Administrators only)
1. Go to **Admin area > Settings > Continuous Integration and Deployment**.
1. Toggle the checkbox labeled **Default to Auto DevOps pipeline for all projects**.
1. If enabling, optionally set up the Auto DevOps [base domain](#auto-devops-base-domain) which will be used for Auto Deploy and Auto Review Apps.
1. Click **Save changes** for the changes to take effect.
NOTE: **Note:**
Even when disabled at the instance level, project maintainers are still able to enable
Auto DevOps at the project level.
### Enabling/disabling Auto DevOps at the project-level
1. Check that your project doesn't have a `.gitlab-ci.yml`, or remove it otherwise
1. Go to your project's **Settings > CI/CD > Auto DevOps**
1. Select "Enable Auto DevOps"
1. Check that your project doesn't have a `.gitlab-ci.yml`, or if one exists, remove it.
1. Go to your project's **Settings > CI/CD > Auto DevOps**.
1. Check the **Default to Auto DevOps pipeline** checkbox.
1. Optionally, but recommended, add in the [base domain](#auto-devops-base-domain)
that will be used by Kubernetes to [deploy your application](#auto-deploy)
and choose the [deployment strategy](#deployment-strategy)

NOTE: **Note:**
If you are a GitLab Administrator, you can
[enable/disable Auto DevOps instance-wide](../../user/admin_area/settings/continuous_integration.md#auto-devops),
and all projects that haven't explicitly set an option will have Auto DevOps
enabled/disabled by default.
NOTE: **Note:**
There is also a feature flag to enable Auto DevOps to a percentage of projects
which can be enabled from the console with
`Feature.get(:force_autodevops_on_by_default).enable_percentage_of_actors(10)`.
