+# Icons
+
+We are using SVG Icons in GitLab with a SVG Sprite, due to this the icons are only loaded once and then referenced through an ID. The sprite SVG is located under `/assets/icons.svg`. Our goal is to replace one by one all inline SVG Icons (as those currently bloat the HTML) and also all Font Awesome usages.
+
+### Usage in HAML/Rails
+
+To use a sprite Icon in HAML or Rails we use a specific helper function :
+
+`sprite_icon(icon_name, size: nil, css_class: '')`
+
+**icon_name** Use the icon_name that you can find in the SVG Sprite (Overview is available under `/assets/sprite.symbol.html`).
+**size (optional)** Use one of the following sizes : 16,24,32,48,72 (this will be translated into a `s16` class)
+**css_class (optional)** If you want to add additional css classes
+
+**Example**
+
+`= sprite_icon('issues', size: 72, css_class: 'icon-danger')`
+
+**Output from example above**
+
+`<svg class="s72 icon-danger"><use xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="/assets/icons.svg#issues"></use></svg>`
+
+### Usage in HTML/JS
+
+Please use the following function inside JS to render an icon :
+`gl.utils.spriteIcon(iconName)`
+
+## Adding a new icon to the sprite
+
+All Icons and Illustrations are managed in the [gitlab-svgs](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-svgs) repository which is added as a dev-dependency.
+
+To upgrade to a new SVG Sprite version run `yarn upgrade https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-svgs` and then run `yarn run svg`. This task will copy the svg sprite and all illustrations in the correct folders.
+
+# SVG Illustrations
+
+Please use from now on for any SVG based illustrations simple `img` tags to show an illustration by simply using either `image_tag` or `image_path` helpers. Please use the class `svg-content` around it to ensure nice rendering. The illustrations are also organised in the [gitlab-svgs](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-svgs) repository (as they are then automatically optimised).
+
+**Example**
+
+`= image_tag 'illustrations/merge_requests.svg'`

## Previewing the changes live

+If you want to preview the doc changes of your merge request live, you can use
+the manual `review-docs-deploy` job in your merge request.
+
+TIP: **Tip:**
+If your branch contains only documentation changes, you can use
+[special branch names](#testing) to avoid long running pipelines.
![Manual trigger a docs build](img/manual_build_docs.png)
This job will:
1. Create a new branch in the [gitlab-docs](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gitlab-docs)
- project named after the scheme: `<CE/EE-branch-slug>-built-from-ce-ee`
-1. Trigger a pipeline and build the docs site with your changes
-
-Look for the docs URL at the output of the `build-docs` job.
-
->**Note:**
+ project named after the scheme: `preview-<branch-slug>`
+1. Trigger a cross project pipeline and build the docs site with your changes
+
+After a few minutes, the Review App will be deployed and you will be able to
+preview the changes. The docs URL can be found in two places:
+
+- In the merge request widget
+- In the output of the `review-docs-deploy` job, which also includes the
+ triggered pipeline so that you can investigate whether something went wrong
+
+In case the Review App URL returns 404, follow these steps to debug:
+
+1. **Did you follow the URL from the merge request widget?** If yes, then check if
+ the link is the same as the one in the job output. It can happen that if the
+ branch name slug is longer than 35 characters, it is automatically
+ truncated. That means that the merge request widget will not show the proper
+ URL due to a limitation of how `environment: url` works, but you can find the
+ real URL from the output of the `review-docs-deploy` job.
+1. **Did you follow the URL from the job output?** If yes, then it means that
+ either the site is not yet deployed or something went wrong with the remote
+ pipeline. Give it a few minutes and it should appear online, otherwise you
+ can check the status of the remote pipeline from the link in the job output.
+ If the pipeline failed or got stuck, drop a line in the `#docs` chat channel.
+
+TIP: **Tip:**
+Someone that has no merge rights to the CE/EE projects (think of forks from
+contributors) will not be able to run the manual job. In that case, you can
+ask someone from the GitLab team who has the permissions to do that for you.
+
+NOTE: **Note:**
Make sure that you always delete the branch of the merge request you were
working on. If you don't, the remote docs branch won't be removed either,
and the server where the Review Apps are hosted will eventually be out of
disk space.
+
+### Behind the scenes
+
+If you want to know the hot details, here's what's really happening:
+
+1. You manually run the `review-docs-deploy` job in a CE/EE merge request.
+1. The job runs the [`scirpts/trigger-build-docs`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/scripts/trigger-build-docs)
+ script with the `deploy` flag, which in turn:
+ 1. Takes your branch name and applies the following:
+ - The slug of the branch name is used to avoid special characters since
+ ultimately this will be used by NGINX.
+ - The `preview-` prefix is added to avoid conflicts if there's a remote branch
+ with the same name that you created in the merge request.
+ - The final branch name is truncated to 42 characters to avoid filesystem
+ limitations with long branch names (> 63 chars).
+ 1. The remote branch is then created if it doesn't exist (meaning you can
+ re-run the manual job as many times as you want and this step will be skipped).
+ 1. A new cross-project pipeline is triggered in the docs project.
+ 1. The preview URL is shown both at the job output and in the merge request
+ widget. You also get the link to the remote pipeline.
+1. In the docs project, the pipeline is created and it
+ [skips the test jobs](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gitlab-docs/blob/8d5d5c750c602a835614b02f9db42ead1c4b2f5e/.gitlab-ci.yml#L50-55)
+ to lower the build time.
+1. Once the docs site is built, the HTML files are uploaded as artifacts.
+1. A specific Runner tied only to the docs project, runs the Review App job
+ that downloads the artifacts and uses `rsync` to transfer the files over

# Auto DevOps
-> [Introduced][ce-37115] in GitLab 10.0. Auto DevOps is currently in Beta and
-**not recommended for production use**. Access to the Container Registry is only
-available while the pipeline is running. Restarting a pod, scaling a service, or
-other actions which require on-going access **will fail** even for public
-projects. On-going secure access is planned for a subsequent release.
-
-Auto DevOps brings best practices to your project in an easy and default way. A
-typical web project starts with Continuous Integration (CI), then adds automated
-deployment to production, and maybe some time in the future adds some kind of
-monitoring. With Auto DevOps, every project has a complete workflow, with
-no configuration, including:
-
-- [Auto Build](#auto-build)
-- [Auto Test](#auto-test)
-- [Auto Code Quality](#auto-code-quality)
-- [Auto Review Apps](#auto-review-apps)
-- [Auto Deploy](#auto-deploy)
-- [Auto Monitoring](#-auto-monitoring)
+DANGER: Auto DevOps is currently in **Beta** and _not recommended for production use_.
+
+> [Introduced][ce-37115] in GitLab 10.0.
+
+Auto DevOps automatically detects, builds, tests, deploys, and monitors your
+applications.
## Overview
-You will need [Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io/) and
-[Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/) to make full use of Auto DevOps, but
-even projects using only [GitLab Runners](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/) will
-be able to make use of Auto Build, Auto Test, and Auto Code Quality.
-
-Auto DevOps makes use of an open source tool called
-[Herokuish](https://github.com/gliderlabs/herokuish) which uses [Heroku
-buildpacks](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/buildpacks) to automatically
-detect, build, and test applications. Auto DevOps supports all of the languages
-and frameworks that are [supported by
-Herokuish](https://github.com/gliderlabs/herokuish#buildpacks) such as Ruby,
-Rails, Node, PHP, Python, and Java, and [custom buildpacks can be
-specified](#using-custom-buildpacks). *GitLab is in no way affiliated with Heroku
-or Glider Labs.*
-
-Projects can [customize](#customizing) the process by specifying [custom
-buildpacks](#custom-buildpack), [custom `Dockerfile`s](#custom-dockerfile),
-[custom Helm charts](#custom-helm-chart), or even copying the complete CI/CD
-configuration into your project to enable staging and canary deployments, and
-more.
+With Auto DevOps, the software development process becomes easier to set up
+as every project can have a complete workflow from build to deploy and monitoring,
+with minimal to zero configuration.
-## Quick start
+Comprised of a set of stages, Auto DevOps brings these best practices to your
+project in an easy and automatic way:
-If you are using GitLab.com, see our [quick start guide](quick_start_guide.md)

+1. [Auto Code Quality](#auto-code-quality)
+1. [Auto Review Apps](#auto-review-apps)
+1. [Auto Deploy](#auto-deploy)
+1. [Auto Monitoring](#auto-monitoring)
-For self-hosted installations, the easiest way to make use of Auto DevOps is to
-install GitLab inside a Kubernetes cluster using the [GitLab-Omnibus Helm
-Chart](../../install/kubernetes/gitlab_omnibus.md) which automatically installs
-and configures everything you need.
+As Auto DevOps relies on many different components, it's good to have a basic
+knowledge of the following:

+- [Helm](https://docs.helm.sh/)
+- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com)
+- [GitLab Runner](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/)
+- [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/overview/)
-You will need one or more GitLab Runners, a Kubernetes cluster, and Prometheus
-installed in the cluster to make full use of Auto DevOps. If you do not have
-Kubernetes or Prometheus installed then Auto Review Apps, Auto Deploy, and Auto
-Monitoring will be silently skipped.
+Auto DevOps provides great defaults for all the stages; you can, however,
+[customize](#customizing) almost everything to your needs.
-If you are using GitLab outside of Kubernetes, for example with GitLab.com, then
-you should take these prerequisites into account:

+
+### Auto DevOps base domain
+
+The Auto DevOps base domain is required if you want to make use of [Auto
+Review Apps](#auto-review-apps) and [Auto Deploy](#auto-deploy). It is defined
+under the project's CI/CD settings while [enabling Auto DevOps](#enabling-auto-devops).
+It can also be set at the project or group level as a variable, `AUTO_DEVOPS_DOMAIN`.
+
+A wildcard DNS A record matching the base domain is required, for example,
+given a base domain of `example.com`, you'd need a DNS entry like:
+
+```
+*.example.com 3600 A 1.2.3.4
+```
+
+where `example.com` is the domain name under which the deployed apps will be served,
+and `1.2.3.4` is the IP address of your load balancer; generally NGINX
+([see prerequisites](#prerequisites)). How to set up the DNS record is beyond
+the scope of this document; you should check with your DNS provider.
+
+Once set up, all requests will hit the load balancer, which in turn will route
+them to the Kubernetes pods that run your application(s).
-In your GitLab.com project, go to **Settings > CI/CD** and find the Auto DevOps
-section. Select "Enable Auto DevOps", add in your base domain, and save.
+NOTE: **Note:**
+If GitLab is installed using the [GitLab Omnibus Helm Chart], there are two
+options: provide a static IP, or have one assigned. For more information see the
+relevant docs on the [network prerequisites](../../install/kubernetes/gitlab_omnibus.md#networking-prerequisites).

+
+The Review App will have a unique URL based on the project name, the branch
name, and a unique number, combined with the Auto DevOps base domain. For
example, `user-project-branch-1234.example.com`. A link to the Review App shows

-[variables](#postgresql-variables). These credentials can be used for defining a
-`DATABASE_URL` of the format:

+### PostgreSQL database support
+
+In order to support applications that require a database,
+[PostgreSQL][postgresql] is provisioned by default. The credentials to access
+the database are preconfigured, but can be customized by setting the associated
+[variables](#environment-variables). These credentials can be used for defining a
+`DATABASE_URL` of the format:
+
+```yaml
+postgres://user:password@postgres-host:postgres-port/postgres-database
+```
+
+### Environment variables
+
+The following variables can be used for setting up the Auto DevOps domain,
+providing a custom Helm chart, or scaling your application. PostgreSQL can be
+also be customized, and you can easily use a [custom buildpack](#custom-buildpacks).
+
+| **Variable** | **Description** |
+| ------------ | --------------- |
+| `AUTO_DEVOPS_DOMAIN` | The [Auto DevOps domain](#auto-devops-domain); by default set automatically by the [Auto DevOps setting](#enabling-auto-devops). |
+| `AUTO_DEVOPS_CHART` | The Helm Chart used to deploy your apps; defaults to the one [provided by GitLab](https://gitlab.com/charts/charts.gitlab.io/tree/master/charts/auto-deploy-app). |
+| `PRODUCTION_REPLICAS` | The number of replicas to deploy in the production environment; defaults to 1. |
+| `CANARY_PRODUCTION_REPLICAS`| The number of canary replicas to deploy for [Canary Deployments](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/canary_deployments.html) in the production environment. |
+| `POSTGRES_ENABLED` | Whether PostgreSQL is enabled; defaults to `"true"`. Set to `false` to disable the automatic deployment of PostgreSQL. |
+| `POSTGRES_USER` | The PostgreSQL user; defaults to `user`. Set it to use a custom username. |
+| `POSTGRES_PASSWORD` | The PostgreSQL password; defaults to `testing-password`. Set it to use a custom password. |
+| `POSTGRES_DB` | The PostgreSQL database name; defaults to the value of [`$CI_ENVIRONMENT_SLUG`](../../ci/variables/README.md#predefined-variables-environment-variables). Set it to use a custom database name. |
+| `BUILDPACK_URL` | The buildpack's full URL. It can point to either Git repositories or a tarball URL. For Git repositories, it is possible to point to a specific `ref`, for example `https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-ruby.git#v142`|
+
+TIP: **Tip:**
+Set up the replica variables using a
+[project variable](../../ci/variables/README.md#secret-variables)
+and scale your application by just redeploying it!
+
+CAUTION: **Caution:**
+You should *not* scale your application using Kubernetes directly. This can
+cause confusion with Helm not detecting the change, and subsequent deploys with
+Auto DevOps can undo your changes.
+
+#### Advanced replica variables setup
+
+Apart from the two replica-related variables for production mentioned above,
+you can also use others for different environments.
+
+There's a very specific mapping between Kubernetes' label named `track`,
+GitLab CI/CD environment names, and the replicas environment variable.
+The general rule is: `TRACK_ENV_REPLICAS`. Where:
+
+- `TRACK`: The capitalized value of the `track`
+ [Kubernetes label](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/labels/)
+ in the Helm Chart app definition. If not set, it will not be taken into account
+ to the variable name.
+- `ENV`: The capitalized environment name of the deploy job that is set in
+ `.gitlab-ci.yml`.
+
+That way, you can define your own `TRACK_ENV_REPLICAS` variables with which
+you will be able to scale the pod's replicas easily.
+
+In the example below, the environment's name is `qa` which would result in
+looking for the `QA_REPLICAS` environment variable:
+
+```yaml
+QA testing:
+ stage: deploy
+ environment:
+ name: qa
+ script:
+ - deploy qa
+```
+
+If, in addition, there was also a `track: foo` defined in the application's Helm
+chart, like:
+
+```yaml
+replicaCount: 1
+image:
+ repository: gitlab.example.com/group/project
+ tag: stable
+ pullPolicy: Always
+ secrets:
+ - name: gitlab-registry
+application:
+ track: foo
+ tier: web
+service:
+ enabled: true
+ name: web
+ type: ClusterIP
+ url: http://my.host.com/
+ externalPort: 5000
+ internalPort: 5000
+```
+
+then the environment variable would be `FOO_QA_REPLICAS`.
+
