We are too! You've come to the right place! There are so many different ways DevOps can be used in education. We’ve been taking note of a few of the really great ways we see DevOps entering both the higher education classroom as well as K-12 and less formal settings such as clubs and boot camps! Open Science and research Git technology is being used to manage data and publications. Continuous integration runs analytical workflows on data. Containerization allows for reproducability and versioned analysis. Collaborative tools speed up the cycle to results. Repositories store open data and web publications. Learn computer science, coding, DevOps, and open source Central repositories and source control are great tools for learning coding. Students can learn the stages of the DevOps lifecycle easily with a single platform. Continous integration tools can quality check and grade code assignments. Collaboration for group projects is easier with a central repositories, issues, epics and milestones. Student portfolios Students can showcase contributions and code on a GitLab repository. GitLab profiles record a students' contributions and collaboration. GitLab can be used to host and publish blog posts, resumes, and other websites. Demonstrating use of GitLab adds credibility to DevOps skills and working knowledge. GitLab in Academic Research Researchers around the world are conducting scientific research about GitLab, the company and the product, as well as using GitLab the product in thier research. The word "GitLab" appears in the title of over 100 peer-reviewed articles and in the body of over 33k peer-review articles! These articles cover a wide-range of topics including GitLab's all-remote operating model, continuous integration/continuous development (CI/CD), GitLab for library science, GitLab for measuring student collaboration, GitLab for deep-machine learning and so many more.
