Auto DevOps.
-## Requirements
-
-### Kubernetes
-
-To make full use of Auto DevOps with Kubernetes, you need:
-
-- **Kubernetes** (for [Auto Review Apps](stages.md#auto-review-apps),
- [Auto Deploy](stages.md#auto-deploy), and [Auto Monitoring](stages.md#auto-monitoring))
-
- To enable deployments, you need:
-
- 1. A [Kubernetes 1.12+ cluster](../../user/project/clusters/index.md) for your
- project. The easiest way is to create a
- [new cluster using the GitLab UI](../../user/project/clusters/add_remove_clusters.md#create-new-cluster).
- For Kubernetes 1.16+ clusters, you must perform additional configuration for
- [Auto Deploy for Kubernetes 1.16+](stages.md#kubernetes-116).
- 1. NGINX Ingress. You can deploy it to your Kubernetes cluster by installing
- the [GitLab-managed app for Ingress](../../user/clusters/applications.md#ingress),
- after configuring GitLab's Kubernetes integration in the previous step.
-
- Alternatively, you can use the
- [`nginx-ingress`](https://github.com/helm/charts/tree/master/stable/nginx-ingress)
- Helm chart to install Ingress manually.
-
- NOTE: **Note:**
- If you use your own Ingress instead of the one provided by GitLab's managed
- apps, ensure you're running at least version 0.9.0 of NGINX Ingress and
- [enable Prometheus metrics](https://github.com/helm/charts/tree/master/stable/nginx-ingress#prometheus-metrics)
- for the response metrics to appear. You must also
- [annotate](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/annotations/)
- the NGINX Ingress deployment to be scraped by Prometheus using
- `prometheus.io/scrape: "true"` and `prometheus.io/port: "10254"`.
-
-- **Base domain** (for [Auto Review Apps](stages.md#auto-review-apps),
- [Auto Deploy](stages.md#auto-deploy), and [Auto Monitoring](stages.md#auto-monitoring))
-
- You need a domain configured with wildcard DNS, which all of your Auto DevOps
- applications will use. If you're using the
- [GitLab-managed app for Ingress](../../user/clusters/applications.md#ingress),
- the URL endpoint is automatically configured for you.
-
- You must also [specify the Auto DevOps base domain](#auto-devops-base-domain).
-
-- **GitLab Runner** (for all stages)
-
- Your Runner must be configured to run Docker, usually with either the
- [Docker](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/docker.html)
- or [Kubernetes](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/kubernetes.html) executors, with
- [privileged mode enabled](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/docker.html#use-docker-in-docker-with-privileged-mode).
- The Runners don't need to be installed in the Kubernetes cluster, but the
- Kubernetes executor is easy to use and automatically autoscales.
- You can configure Docker-based Runners to autoscale as well, using
- [Docker Machine](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/install/autoscaling.html).
-
- If you've configured GitLab's Kubernetes integration in the first step, you
- can deploy it to your cluster by installing the
- [GitLab-managed app for GitLab Runner](../../user/clusters/applications.md#gitlab-runner).
-
- Runners should be registered as [shared Runners](../../ci/runners/README.md#registering-a-shared-runner)
- for the entire GitLab instance, or [specific Runners](../../ci/runners/README.md#registering-a-specific-runner)
- that are assigned to specific projects (the default if you've installed the
- GitLab Runner managed application).
-
-- **Prometheus** (for [Auto Monitoring](stages.md#auto-monitoring))
-
- To enable Auto Monitoring, you need Prometheus installed either inside or
- outside your cluster, and configured to scrape your Kubernetes cluster.
- If you've configured GitLab's Kubernetes integration, you can deploy it to
- your cluster by installing the
- [GitLab-managed app for Prometheus](../../user/clusters/applications.md#prometheus).
-
- The [Prometheus service](../../user/project/integrations/prometheus.md)
- integration must be enabled for the project, or enabled as a
- [default service template](../../user/project/integrations/services_templates.md)
- for the entire GitLab installation.
-
- To get response metrics (in addition to system metrics), you must
- [configure Prometheus to monitor NGINX](../../user/project/integrations/prometheus_library/nginx_ingress.md#configuring-nginx-ingress-monitoring).
-
-- **cert-manager** (optional, for TLS/HTTPS)
-
- To enable HTTPS endpoints for your application, you must install cert-manager,
- a native Kubernetes certificate management controller that helps with issuing
- certificates. Installing cert-manager on your cluster issues a
- [Let’s Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/) certificate and ensures the
- certificates are valid and up-to-date. If you've configured GitLab's Kubernetes
- integration, you can deploy it to your cluster by installing the
- [GitLab-managed app for cert-manager](../../user/clusters/applications.md#cert-manager).
-
-If you don't have Kubernetes or Prometheus installed, then
-[Auto Review Apps](stages.md#auto-review-apps),
-[Auto Deploy](stages.md#auto-deploy), and [Auto Monitoring](stages.md#auto-monitoring)
-are skipped.
-
-After all requirements are met, you can [enable Auto DevOps](#enablingdisabling-auto-devops).
-

-
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/208132) in GitLab 13.0.
-
-You can choose to target [AWS ECS](../../ci/cloud_deployment/index.md) as a deployment platform instead of using Kubernetes.
-
-To get started on Auto DevOps to ECS, you'll have to add a specific Environment
-Variable. To do so, follow these steps:
-
-1. In your project, go to **Settings > CI / CD** and expand the **Variables**
- section.
-
-1. Specify which AWS platform to target during the Auto DevOps deployment
- by adding the `AUTO_DEVOPS_PLATFORM_TARGET` variable.
-
-1. Give this variable the value `ECS` before saving it.
-
-When you trigger a pipeline, if you have AutoDev Ops enabled and if you have correctly
-[entered AWS credentials as environment variables](../../ci/cloud_deployment/index.md#deploy-your-application-to-aws-elastic-container-service-ecs),
-your application will be deployed to AWS ECS.
-

+# Requirements for Auto DevOps
+
+You can set up Auto DevOps for [Kubernetes](#auto-devops-requirements-for-kubernetes)
+or [Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS)](#auto-devops-requirements-for-amazon-ecs).
+For more information about Auto DevOps, see [the main Auto DevOps page](index.md)
+or the [quick start guide](quick_start_guide.md).
+
+## Auto DevOps requirements for Kubernetes
+
+To make full use of Auto DevOps with Kubernetes, you need:
+
+- **Kubernetes** (for [Auto Review Apps](stages.md#auto-review-apps),
+ [Auto Deploy](stages.md#auto-deploy), and [Auto Monitoring](stages.md#auto-monitoring))
+
+ To enable deployments, you need:
+
+ 1. A [Kubernetes 1.12+ cluster](../../user/project/clusters/index.md) for your
+ project. The easiest way is to create a
+ [new cluster using the GitLab UI](../../user/project/clusters/add_remove_clusters.md#create-new-cluster).
+ For Kubernetes 1.16+ clusters, you must perform additional configuration for
+ [Auto Deploy for Kubernetes 1.16+](stages.md#kubernetes-116).
+ 1. NGINX Ingress. You can deploy it to your Kubernetes cluster by installing
+ the [GitLab-managed app for Ingress](../../user/clusters/applications.md#ingress),
+ after configuring GitLab's Kubernetes integration in the previous step.
+
+ Alternatively, you can use the
+ [`nginx-ingress`](https://github.com/helm/charts/tree/master/stable/nginx-ingress)
+ Helm chart to install Ingress manually.
+
+ NOTE: **Note:**
+ If you use your own Ingress instead of the one provided by GitLab's managed
+ apps, ensure you're running at least version 0.9.0 of NGINX Ingress and
+ [enable Prometheus metrics](https://github.com/helm/charts/tree/master/stable/nginx-ingress#prometheus-metrics)
+ for the response metrics to appear. You must also
+ [annotate](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/annotations/)
+ the NGINX Ingress deployment to be scraped by Prometheus using
+ `prometheus.io/scrape: "true"` and `prometheus.io/port: "10254"`.
+
+- **Base domain** (for [Auto Review Apps](stages.md#auto-review-apps),
+ [Auto Deploy](stages.md#auto-deploy), and [Auto Monitoring](stages.md#auto-monitoring))
+
+ You need a domain configured with wildcard DNS, which all of your Auto DevOps
+ applications will use. If you're using the
+ [GitLab-managed app for Ingress](../../user/clusters/applications.md#ingress),
+ the URL endpoint is automatically configured for you.
+
+ You must also [specify the Auto DevOps base domain](index.md#auto-devops-base-domain).
+
+- **GitLab Runner** (for all stages)
+
+ Your Runner must be configured to run Docker, usually with either the
+ [Docker](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/docker.html)
+ or [Kubernetes](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/kubernetes.html) executors, with
+ [privileged mode enabled](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/docker.html#use-docker-in-docker-with-privileged-mode).
+ The Runners don't need to be installed in the Kubernetes cluster, but the
+ Kubernetes executor is easy to use and automatically autoscales.
+ You can configure Docker-based Runners to autoscale as well, using
+ [Docker Machine](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/install/autoscaling.html).
+
+ If you've configured GitLab's Kubernetes integration in the first step, you
+ can deploy it to your cluster by installing the
+ [GitLab-managed app for GitLab Runner](../../user/clusters/applications.md#gitlab-runner).
+
+ Runners should be registered as [shared Runners](../../ci/runners/README.md#shared-runners)
+ for the entire GitLab instance, or [specific Runners](../../ci/runners/README.md#specific-runners)
+ that are assigned to specific projects (the default if you've installed the
+ GitLab Runner managed application).
+
+- **Prometheus** (for [Auto Monitoring](stages.md#auto-monitoring))
+
+ To enable Auto Monitoring, you need Prometheus installed either inside or
+ outside your cluster, and configured to scrape your Kubernetes cluster.
+ If you've configured GitLab's Kubernetes integration, you can deploy it to
+ your cluster by installing the
+ [GitLab-managed app for Prometheus](../../user/clusters/applications.md#prometheus).
+
+ The [Prometheus service](../../user/project/integrations/prometheus.md)
+ integration must be enabled for the project, or enabled as a
+ [default service template](../../user/project/integrations/services_templates.md)
+ for the entire GitLab installation.
+
+ To get response metrics (in addition to system metrics), you must
+ [configure Prometheus to monitor NGINX](../../user/project/integrations/prometheus_library/nginx_ingress.md#configuring-nginx-ingress-monitoring).
+
+- **cert-manager** (optional, for TLS/HTTPS)
+
+ To enable HTTPS endpoints for your application, you must install cert-manager,
+ a native Kubernetes certificate management controller that helps with issuing
+ certificates. Installing cert-manager on your cluster issues a
+ [Let’s Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/) certificate and ensures the
+ certificates are valid and up-to-date. If you've configured GitLab's Kubernetes
+ integration, you can deploy it to your cluster by installing the
+ [GitLab-managed app for cert-manager](../../user/clusters/applications.md#cert-manager).
+
+If you don't have Kubernetes or Prometheus installed, then
+[Auto Review Apps](stages.md#auto-review-apps),
+[Auto Deploy](stages.md#auto-deploy), and [Auto Monitoring](stages.md#auto-monitoring)
+are skipped.
+
+After all requirements are met, you can [enable Auto DevOps](index.md#enablingdisabling-auto-devops).
+
+## Auto DevOps requirements for Amazon ECS
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/208132) in GitLab 13.0.
+
+You can choose to target [Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS)](../../ci/cloud_deployment/index.md) as a deployment platform instead of using Kubernetes.
+
+To get started on Auto DevOps to Amazon ECS, you'll have to add a specific Environment
+Variable. To do so, follow these steps:
+
+1. In your project, go to **Settings > CI / CD** and expand the **Variables**
+ section.
+
+1. Specify which AWS platform to target during the Auto DevOps deployment
+ by adding the `AUTO_DEVOPS_PLATFORM_TARGET` variable.
+
+1. Give this variable the value `ECS` before saving it.
+
+When you trigger a pipeline, if Auto DevOps is enabled and if you've correctly
+[entered AWS credentials as environment variables](../../ci/cloud_deployment/index.md#deploy-your-application-to-the-aws-elastic-container-service-ecs),
+your application will be deployed to Amazon ECS.
+
+NOTE: **Note:**
+If you have both a valid `AUTO_DEVOPS_PLATFORM_TARGET` variable and a Kubernetes cluster tied to your project,
+only the deployment to Kubernetes will run.
+
+CAUTION: **Warning:**
+Setting the `AUTO_DEVOPS_PLATFORM_TARGET` variable to `ECS` will trigger jobs
+defined in the [`Jobs/Deploy/ECS.gitlab-ci.yml` template](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Jobs/Deploy/ECS.gitlab-ci.yml).
+However, it's not recommended to [include](../../ci/yaml/README.md#includetemplate)
+it on its own. This template is designed to be used with Auto DevOps only. It may change
+unexpectedly causing your pipeline to fail if included on its own. Also, the job
+names within this template may also change. Don't override these jobs' names in your
+own pipeline, as the override will stop working when the name changes.
