GitLab and AWS Expand Partnership to Deliver Secure DevSecOps Capabilities for Regulated Industries

GitLab has signed a three-year strategic collaboration agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to expand access to GitLab Dedicated, a single-tenant offering for organizations in highly regulated industries. The agreement addresses the need for unified development and security toolchains, eliminating tool sprawl, accelerating development cycles, reducing operational costs, and strengthening security governance.

GitLab Inc., a leading DevSecOps platform, has announced a three-year strategic collaboration agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS). This partnership aims to expand access to GitLab Dedicated, a single-tenant offering designed for organizations in highly regulated industries [1].

The agreement will enable GitLab Dedicated customers to leverage cloud infrastructure while adhering to complex compliance requirements, including data residency, isolation, and private networking. GitLab Dedicated is managed and hosted by GitLab and deployed in customers' chosen AWS Regions, eliminating the need for organizations to build and manage their own infrastructure while providing the flexibility of a self-managed instance [1].

This collaboration addresses the growing need for unified development and security toolchains. By consolidating disparate cybersecurity and development tools into a single platform, GitLab Dedicated eliminates tool sprawl, accelerates development cycles, reduces operational costs, and strengthens security governance [1].

The partnership builds on GitLab’s existing collaboration with AWS, which has already delivered secure DevSecOps capabilities across multiple industries. For more information about GitLab’s work with AWS, visit their official website [1].

Supporting quotes from industry experts underscore the significance of this collaboration. Bal Kang, Engineering Platform Lead at NatWest, noted that GitLab Dedicated has driven stronger collaboration, productivity, and creativity for their software development teams. Chris Grusz, Managing Director, Technology Partnerships at AWS, highlighted that the collaboration eliminates compliance roadblocks, empowering joint customers to innovate faster while meeting stringent security requirements [1].

Ian Steward, Chief Revenue Officer at GitLab, emphasized that the partnership eliminates the trade-off between cloud efficiency and compliance requirements, delivering enterprise-grade DevSecOps capabilities with data residency and isolation controls for sectors like financial services and government [1].

GitLab is the most comprehensive, intelligent DevSecOps platform for software innovation. It enables organizations to increase developer productivity, improve operational efficiency, reduce security and compliance risk, and accelerate digital transformation. More than 50 million registered users and more than 50% of the Fortune 100 trust GitLab to ship better, more secure software faster [1].
