Grafana Labs Runs Environment Provisioning with GitLab
Grafana Labs, an information technology organization in the United States, uses GitLab Registry from GitLab to support environment provisioning for platform engineers.
Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Capability | Environment provisioning stays visible to adjacent teams through GitLab Registry |
| Capability | Platform engineers work from the same GitLab Registry record for infrastructure as code |
| Capability | Infrastructure as code can be reviewed without waiting on a personal export |
Story
Grafana Labs did not need another dashboard that nobody opened. It needed environment provisioning to move. In the United States, platform engineers already knew where infrastructure as code went wrong: too many copies, too little ownership, and a close process that waited on the loudest inbox.
GitLab Registry from GitLab is now in that path. GitLab is a DevSecOps platform that combines source control, CI/CD, security scanning, and planning in one application. The company treats it as production tooling for environment provisioning, which is why platform engineers live in it rather than exporting from it once a quarter.
Grafana Labs can show how infrastructure as code is handled today. That is the value: a repeatable way to run environment provisioning on software the rest of the industry already recognizes.
