New Functionality and Service Offering

As of January 2023, we have enabled the GitLab Pages functionality. GitLab Pages allows you to publish static web pages directly from your MGB GitLab repository and be assigned a dedicated sub-domain for your web page.

As of August 2023, we have enabled the Container and Package Registry functionality. Throughout FY24 and FY25 these features have seen increased adoption and utilization. 

In Summer of 2024 GitLab introduced the ML Model Registry functionality - Model registry allows data scientists and developers to manage their machine learning models, along with all metadata associated with their creation: parameters, performance metrics, artifacts, logs, and more. This feature is in BETA at the moment. More information can be found at: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/ml/model_registry/
