My company has a master codebase and several instances of the same codebase i.e company.com/instance1, company.com/instance2, company.com/instance3 and so on running on AWS and a mysql database.
I thought it would help if we install gitlab on AWS as it would simplify our overall developement process. Is this a good idea ?.
I am confused as to whether we have to install centOS on AWS to install gitlab or does gitlab will work on AWS without centos.
I am puzzled as in my local centos system i have installed gitlab locally and i have trouble setting up URL's.
The users need to type company.com/instance to get what is required and already people have started using it on AWS.
May be i have do CI and deploy the code on AWS ? How does this work?
Will gitlab work well in LAMP environment on an already existing AWS server instance? how to go about the same?
GitLab should work as an Amazon Machine Image
