Last year, the\nbiggest challenge with performance testing wasn't so much the testing but\nrather setting up the right large scale GitLab environments to test against.\n\n\nLike any server application, deploying at scale is challenging. That's why\nwe built another toolkit that automates the deployment of GitLab at scale:\nThe [GitLab Environment Toolkit\n(GET)](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/quality/gitlab-environment-toolkit).\n\n\n![GitLab Environment Toolkit\nlogo](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/gitlab-environment-toolkit/gitlab_environment_toolkit_logo.png){:\n.center}\n\nGitLab Environment Toolkit logo\n\n{: .note.text-center}\n\n\nInternally called the \"Performance Environment Builder\" (PEB), GET grew\nalongside GPT as we continued to expand our performance testing efforts.\nOver time we built a toolkit that was quite capable in its own right of\ndeploying GitLab at scale, which is why it started to gain attention\ninternally from other teams and then even from some customers. Soon we\nrealized we built something worth sharing.\n\n\nThe Quality Engineering Enablement team has been working hard over the last\nfew months to polish the toolkit for broader use and we're happy to share\nthat the first version of [GET\nv1.0.0](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/quality/gitlab-environment-toolkit/-/releases/v1.0.0)\nhas been released!\n\n\nGET is a collection of well-known open source provisioning and configuration\ntools with a simple focused purpose - to deploy [GitLab\nOmnibus](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab) and [GitLab Helm\nCharts](https://docs.gitlab.com/charts/) at scale, as defined by our\n[Reference\nArchitectures](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/reference_architectures)\nand [Cloud Native Hybrid Reference\nArchitectures](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/reference_architectures/10k_users.html#cloud-native-hybrid-reference-architecture-with-helm-charts-alternative).\nBuilt with Terraform and Ansible, GET supports the provisioning and\nconfiguring of machines and other related infrastructure and contains the\nfollowing features:\n\n - Support for deploying all GitLab Reference Architectures sizes dynamically from 1000 to 50,000\n - Support for deploying Cloud Native Hybrid Reference Architectures (GCP only at this time)\n - GCP, AWS, and Azure cloud provider support\n - Upgrades\n - Release and nightly Omnibus builds support\n - Advanced search with Elasticsearch\n - Geo support\n - Zero Downtime Upgrades support\n - Built-in load balancing via HAProxy and monitoring (Prometheus, Grafana) support\n\nWe're just getting started with GET, and [continue to add more support for\nfeatures and different environment\nsetups](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/quality/gitlab-environment-toolkit/-/boards?group_by=epic).\nNow that GET\n[v1.0.0](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/quality/gitlab-environment-toolkit/-/releases/v1.0.0)\nhas been released, we're at a good place for customers to start trialing and\nevaluating GET. We do ask that you take into consideration the continuing\nexpansion of capabilities, as well as limitations of the current version.\n\n\nRead on to learn about the the philosophy of GET and how it works.\n\n\n## The design principals of GET\n\n\nOur team has past experience with provisioning and configuration tools, so\nwe've learned what does and does not work, which is why we try to stick to\nthe following goals:\n\n\n- GET is [boring](https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/values/#boring-solutions): The word boring may\nlook funny here but it's actually a [GitLab value](https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/values/). A\nboring solution essentially means to keep it simple. Provisioning and\nconfiguration solutions can get complicated **fast** with many common\npitfalls, such as trying to support complex setups that come with a heavy\nmaintenance cost. From the very beginning we've tried to avoid this, so GET\nessentially uses a standard Terraform and Ansible config that doesn't try to\ndo anything fancy or complicated.\n\n- GET is *not* a replacement for [GitLab\nOmnibus](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab) or the [Helm\nCharts](https://docs.gitlab.com/charts/): Truly some of the greatest \"magic\"\nin setting up GitLab is how much easier it's made Omnibus and the Helm\nCharts. Thanks to the incredible work by our Distribution teams, both of\nthese install methods do a lot under the hood, and GET is not trying to\nreplace these. In the same [boring](https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/values/#boring-solutions)\nvein, GET's purpose is simply to set up GitLab environments at scale by\ninstalling Omnibus or Helm in the right places (along with any other needed\ninfrastructure to support).\n\n- GET is one for all and designed to work for all our recommended [GitLab\nReference\nArchitectures](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/reference_architectures/).\nEverything we do with GET has to be considered against this goal. It means\nwe may not be able to support niche or overly complex set ups as this will\nlead to complex code and heavy maintenance costs. We do aim to support\nrecommended customizations where appropriate.\n\n\nNext we look at how GET works at a high level, starting with provisioning\nwith Terraform.\n\n\n## Provisioning the environment with Terraform\n\n\nThe first step to building an environment is to provision the machines\nand/or Kubernetes clusters that run GitLab. We undergo this process with the\nwell-known provisioning tool, [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/).\n\n\nNext, we've created multiple [Terraform\nmodules](https://www.terraform.io/docs/language/modules/develop/index.html)\nin GET for each of the main big three cloud providers (GCP, AWS and Azure)\nthat provision machines for you, according to the appropriate [reference\narchitectures](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/reference_architectures/),\nalong with the necessary supporting infrastructure, such as firewalls, load\nbalancers, etc. We designed these modules to be as simple as possible and\nonly require minimal configuration.\n\n\nFor more information on the entire Terraform configuration, [check out our\ndocs](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/quality/gitlab-environment-toolkit/-/blob/master/docs/environment_provision.md).\nAn example of one of the main config files is `environment.tf`, which\ndefines how each component's nodes should be setup. Below is an example of\nhow it is configured with GCP for a [10k reference\narchitecture](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/reference_architectures/10k_users.html)\nenvironment:\n\n\n```tf\n\nmodule \"gitlab_ref_arch_gcp\" {\n  source = \"../../modules/gitlab_ref_arch_gcp\"\n\n  prefix = var.prefix\n  project = var.project\n\n  object_storage_buckets = [\"artifacts\", \"backups\", \"dependency-proxy\", \"lfs\", \"mr-diffs\", \"packages\", \"terraform-state\", \"uploads\"]\n\n  # 10k\n  consul_node_count = 3\n  consul_machine_type = \"n1-highcpu-2\"\n\n  elastic_node_count = 3\n  elastic_machine_type = \"n1-highcpu-16\"\n\n  gitaly_node_count = 3\n  gitaly_machine_type = \"n1-standard-16\"\n\n  praefect_node_count = 3\n  praefect_machine_type = \"n1-highcpu-2\"\n\n  praefect_postgres_node_count = 1\n  praefect_postgres_machine_type = \"n1-highcpu-2\"\n\n  gitlab_nfs_node_count = 1\n  gitlab_nfs_machine_type = \"n1-highcpu-4\"\n\n  gitlab_rails_node_count = 3\n  gitlab_rails_machine_type = \"n1-highcpu-32\"\n\n  haproxy_external_node_count = 1\n  haproxy_external_machine_type = \"n1-highcpu-2\"\n  haproxy_external_external_ips = [var.external_ip]\n  haproxy_internal_node_count = 1\n  haproxy_internal_machine_type = \"n1-highcpu-2\"\n\n  monitor_node_count = 1\n  monitor_machine_type = \"n1-highcpu-4\"\n\n  pgbouncer_node_count = 3\n  pgbouncer_machine_type = \"n1-highcpu-2\"\n\n  postgres_node_count = 3\n  postgres_machine_type = \"n1-standard-4\"\n\n  redis_cache_node_count = 3\n  redis_cache_machine_type = \"n1-standard-4\"\n  redis_sentinel_cache_node_count = 3\n  redis_sentinel_cache_machine_type = \"n1-standard-1\"\n  redis_persistent_node_count = 3\n  redis_persistent_machine_type = \"n1-standard-4\"\n  redis_sentinel_persistent_node_count = 3\n  redis_sentinel_persistent_machine_type = \"n1-standard-1\"\n\n  sidekiq_node_count = 4\n  sidekiq_machine_type = \"n1-standard-4\"\n}\n\n\noutput \"gitlab_ref_arch_gcp\" {\n  value = module.gitlab_ref_arch_gcp\n}\n\n````\n\n\nWith this environment and [two other small config files in\nplace](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/quality/gitlab-environment-toolkit/-/blob/master/docs/environment_provision.md#2-setup-the-environments-config)\nTerraform can be run normally and work its magic.

In a nutshell, this tool connects to\neach machine via SSH and runs tasks to configure GitLab.\n\n\nLike with Terraform, [we've created multiple\nroles](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_reuse_roles.html)\nand\n[Playbooks](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_intro.html)\nin GET that are designed to configure each component on the intended\nmachine. Through Terraform, we apply labels to each machine that Ansible\nthen tracks using its [dynamic\ninventory](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/intro_dynamic_inventory.html)\nto define the purpose of each machine.\n\n\nA detailed breakdown of the configuration process is available in the [GET\nfor Ansible\ndocs](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/quality/gitlab-environment-toolkit/-/blob/master/docs/environment_provision.md).\nBut, an example one of the main config files is `environment.tf`, which\ndefines how the nodes of each component should be setup. Below is an example\nof how it looks with GCP for a [10k user reference\narchitecture](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/reference_architectures/10k_users.html)\nenvironment:\n\n\nLike we did before with Terraform, we'll highlight one of the main config\nfiles, but you can see the full process in the\n[docs](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/quality/gitlab-environment-toolkit/-/blob/master/docs/environment_configure.md).\nThe file is `vars.yml`, an inventory variable file for your environment that\ncontains various parts of the config Ansible needs to perform the setup,\nalong with key GitLab config:\n\n\n```yml\n\nall:\n  vars:\n    # Ansible Settings\n    ansible_user: \"\u003Cssh_username>\"\n    ansible_ssh_private_key_file: \"\u003Cprivate_ssh_key_path>\"\n\n    # Cloud Settings\n    cloud_provider: \"gcp\"\n    gcp_project: \"\u003Cgcp_project_id>\"\n    gcp_service_account_host_file: \"\u003Cgcp_service_account_host_file_path>\"\n\n    # General Settings\n    prefix: \"\u003Cenvironment_prefix>\"\n    external_url: \"\u003Cexternal_url>\"\n    gitlab_license_file: \"\u003Cgitlab_license_file_path>\"\n\n    # Object Storage Settings\n    gitlab_object_storage_artifacts_bucket: \"{{ prefix }}-artifacts\"\n    gitlab_object_storage_backups_bucket: \"{{ prefix }}-backups\"\n    gitlab_object_storage_dependency_proxy_bucket: \"{{ prefix }}-dependency-proxy\"\n    gitlab_object_storage_external_diffs_bucket: \"{{ prefix }}-mr-diffs\"\n    gitlab_object_storage_lfs_bucket: \"{{ prefix }}-lfs\"\n    gitlab_object_storage_packages_bucket: \"{{ prefix }}-packages\"\n    gitlab_object_storage_terraform_state_bucket: \"{{ prefix }}-terraform-state\"\n    gitlab_object_storage_uploads_bucket: \"{{ prefix }}-uploads\"\n\n    # Passwords / Secrets - Can also be set as Environment Variables via ansible.builtin.env\n    gitlab_root_password: \"\u003Cgitlab_root_password>\"\n    grafana_password: \"\u003Cgrafana_password>\"\n    postgres_password: \"\u003Cpostgres_password>\"\n    consul_database_password: \"\u003Cconsul_database_password>\"\n    gitaly_token: \"\u003Cgitaly_token>\"\n    pgbouncer_password: \"\u003Cpgbouncer_password>\"\n    redis_password: \"\u003Credis_password>\"\n    praefect_external_token: \"\u003Cpraefect_external_token>\"\n    praefect_internal_token: \"\u003Cpraefect_internal_token>\"\n    praefect_postgres_password: \"\u003Cpraefect_postgres_password>\"\n```\n\n\nWith the variable file and the [environment inventory\nconfigured](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/quality/gitlab-environment-toolkit/-/blob/master/docs/environment_configure.md#2-setup-the-environments-dynamic-inventory)\nAnsible can run normally.

done, you should have a fully running GitLab environment at\nscale!\n\n\n## What's next?\n\n\nWe've got a bunch of things planned for GET so it can support more features\nwhen setting up GitLab, such as SSL support, [cloud native hybrid\narchitectures](/blog/cloud-native-architectures-made-easy/) on other cloud\nproviders, object storage customization, and much more. We know deploying\nproduction-ready server applications is hard and has many potential\nrequirements depending on the customer, and we hope to eventually support\nall recommended setups.\n\n\nCheck out the [GET development\nboard](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/quality/gitlab-environment-toolkit/-/boards?group_by=epic)\nand our [issue\nlist](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/quality/gitlab-environment-toolkit/-/issues)\nto see what is in progress. Share feedback and suggestions by adding to our\nissue lists, we're keen to hear what's important to customers.\n\n\n[Cover image](https://unsplash.com/photos/icdVDptHxpM) by
