# Auto DevOps development guide **(FREE)**
|
|
|
|
This document provides a development guide for contributors to
|
|
[Auto DevOps](../topics/autodevops/index.md).

|
## Development
|
|
|
|
Auto DevOps builds on top of GitLab CI/CD to create an automatic pipeline
|
|
based on your project contents. When Auto DevOps is enabled for a
|
|
project, the user does not need to explicitly include any pipeline configuration
|
|
through a [`.gitlab-ci.yml` file](../ci/yaml/index.md).
|
|
|
|
In the absence of a `.gitlab-ci.yml` file, the [Auto DevOps CI
|
|
template](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Auto-DevOps.gitlab-ci.yml)
|
|
is used implicitly to configure the pipeline for the project. This
|
|
template is a top-level template that includes other sub-templates,
|
|
which then defines jobs.
|
|
|
|
Some jobs use images that are built from external projects:
|
|
|
|
- [Auto Build](../topics/autodevops/stages.md#auto-build) uses
|
|
[configuration](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Jobs/Build.gitlab-ci.yml)
|
|
in which the `build` job uses an image that is built using the
|
|
[`auto-build-image`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/cluster-integration/auto-build-image)
|
|
project.
|
|
- [Auto Deploy](../topics/autodevops/stages.md#auto-deploy) uses
|
|
[configuration](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Jobs/Deploy.gitlab-ci.yml)
|
|
in which the jobs defined in this template use an image that is built using the
|
|
[`auto-deploy-image`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/cluster-integration/auto-deploy-image)
|
|
project. By default, the Helm chart defined in
|
|
[`auto-deploy-app`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/cluster-integration/auto-deploy-image/-/tree/master/assets/auto-deploy-app) is used to deploy.
|
|
|
|
There are extra variables that get passed to the CI jobs when Auto
|
|
DevOps is enabled that are not present in a normal CI job. These can be
|
|
found in
|
|
[`ProjectAutoDevops`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/bf69484afa94e091c3e1383945f60dbe4e8681af/app/models/project_auto_devops.rb).

## Development environment
|
|
|
|
See the [Simple way to develop/test Kubernetes workflows with a local cluster](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-development-kit/-/issues/1064)
|
|
issue for discussion around setting up Auto DevOps development environments.
|
|
|
|
## Monitoring on GitLab.com
|
|
|
|
The metric
|
|
[`auto_devops_completed_pipelines_total`](https://thanos.gitlab.net/graph?g0.range_input=72h&g0.max_source_resolution=0s&g0.expr=sum(increase(auto_devops_pipelines_completed_total%7Benvironment%3D%22gprd%22%7D%5B60m%5D))%20by%20(status)&g0.tab=0)
|
|
(only available to GitLab team members) counts completed Auto DevOps
|
|
pipelines, labeled by status.
