SKFSKF Runs Environment Provisioning with GitLab
SKF, an industrials organization in Sweden, uses GitLab Registry from GitLab to support environment provisioning for platform engineers.
Industrials teams at SKF treat GitLab as the working layer for environment provisioning.
“From Sweden, industrials teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer.”
“GitLab is a DevSecOps platform that combines source control, CI/CD, security scanning, and planning in one application.”

Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Productivity | Fewer stalled items because infrastructure as code has a clear owner |
| Risk and compliance | GitLab Registry is the governed place platform engineers use for environment provisioning |
| Capability | New joiners can see how environment provisioning actually runs |
Story
SKF grew infrastructure as code faster than the local tools around it. From Sweden, industrials teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Platform engineers were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out GitLab Registry put environment provisioning on GitLab. GitLab is a DevSecOps platform that combines source control, CI/CD, security scanning, and planning in one application. SKF keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so platform engineers do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier environment provisioning. Infrastructure as code is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join platform engineers without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
