GitLab on Google Cloud: Fully managed, compliant, and AI-ready

GitLab is now available as a fully managed platform on Google Cloud, delivered by certified MSPs like Beyond and Digital Future. This collaboration integrates the latest Google AI models, including Gemini and Gemma, directly into the GitLab platform. Teams can maintain full control over their code, pipelines, and security data while leveraging a scalable and reliable DevSecOps architecture. This offering builds upon a previous collaboration allowing GitLab Duo Agent Platform to utilize Google models and apply usage towards existing Google Cloud commitments.The managed service addresses the tension between needing access to strong AI models and maintaining control over sensitive data, providing both modern AI capabilities and robust governance. Organizations can run GitLab fully managed on Google Cloud, ensuring data residency and compliance with regulated requirements. MSP partners handle the operational burden, providing high service-level agreements, while built-in audit and policy controls maintain visibility for compliance teams. The latest Gemini models, including Gemini 3.5 Flash, are available now in GitLab Duo Agent Platform, with new models continuously integrated. For self-hosted and regulated teams, Gemma 4 offers an open-weight option for GitLab Duo Self-Hosted, allowing full control over AI Gateway and data within their environment.Purchasing GitLab and Duo Agent Platform through Google Cloud Marketplace enables usage against existing Google Cloud commitments, streamlining budgeting and billing. This integrated approach consolidates platform, inference, and infrastructure spend into a single Google Cloud bill. GitLab also provides cost controls with usage dashboards, policy management for model usage, and a Credits model for predictable consumption. The unification of strong AI models with GitLab Duo Agent Platform’s software-delivery context prevents fragmentation across disparate tools, ensuring aligned deployment, model choice, governance, and spend. This collaboration with Google Cloud offers the right deployment options, models, and cost controls for running DevSecOps at scale on controlled infrastructure with auditable governance. Free trials and simple sign-up options are available for new and existing GitLab users to start utilizing Duo Agent Platform.
