As part of our ongoing commitment to helping you navigate the evolving marketplace, GitLab has introduced more than 440 improvements in the past three releases. We're excited to spotlight three standout features making an immediate impact on how teams approach AI-powered DevSecOps. In addition, we announced we are partnering with AWS to launch [GitLab Duo with Amazon Q](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/gitlab-duo-with-amazon-q-devsecops-meets-agentic-ai/), combining our strengths to transform software development. We're creating an experience, together, that makes AI-powered development feel seamless and upholds the security, compliance, and reliability that enterprises require.\n\n> Learn how GitLab can [deliver 483% ROI over the next three years](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/gitlab-ultimates-total-economic-impact-483-roi-over-3-years/), according to Forrester Consulting.\n\n\u003C!-- blank line -->\n\u003Cfigure class=\"video_container\">\n  \u003Ciframe src=\"https://player.vimeo.com/video/1056012314?badge=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media\" title=\"GitLab 17.6-17.8 Quarterly Release Overview\"> \u003C/iframe>\n\u003C/figure>\n\u003C!-- blank line -->\n\n## 1. Vulnerability Resolution: Streamline security remediation\n\nGitLab’s 2024 [Global DevSecOps Report](https://about.gitlab.com/developer-survey/) found that 66% of companies are releasing software twice as fast — or faster — than in previous years, as businesses strive to deliver more value to their customers than competitors. However, speed introduces risk. With security teams [outnumbered by dev teams 80:1](https://www.opentext.com/assets/documents/en-US/pdf/developer-driven-appsec-security-at-the-speed-of-devops-pp-en.pdf), threat actors are able to exploit applications at a record pace. Last year alone, [80% of the top data breaches](https://www.crowdstrike.com/2024-state-of-application-security-report/) stemmed from attacks at the application layer.\n\n[GitLab Duo Vulnerability Resolution](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/application_security/vulnerabilities/#vulnerability-resolution) addresses this challenge head-on. When vulnerabilities are detected in your code, you can now access detailed information right from the vulnerability report and invoke GitLab Duo to automatically create a merge request that updates your code and mitigates the risk. While developers must review these auto-generated merge requests before merging to verify the changes, this automation significantly streamlines the remediation process. Vulnerability Resolution pairs with [Vulnerability Explanation](https://about.gitlab.com/the-source/ai/understand-and-resolve-vulnerabilities-with-ai-powered-gitlab-duo/), which also recently became generally available. Vulnerability Explanation gives developers a detailed description of the vulnerability infecting their code, real-world examples of how attackers can exploit the vulnerable code, and practical suggestions for remediation.\n\nBy expediting the vulnerability remediation process, your teams can focus on delivering software faster while maintaining strong security practices. With less time spent researching and remediating vulnerabilities, developers can concentrate on building features that drive business value.\n\n_GitLab Duo Vulnerability Resolution is available as a [GitLab Duo Enterprise add-on](https://about.gitlab.com/sales/?type=free-trial&toggle=gitlab-duo-pro)._\n\n\u003C!-- blank line -->\n\u003Cfigure class=\"video_container\">\n  \u003Ciframe src=\"\nhttps://www.youtube.com/embed/VJmsw_C125E?si=W7n1ESS63xkPyH4H\" frameborder=\"0\" title=\"GitLab Vulnerability Resolution\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> \u003C/iframe>\n\u003C/figure>\n\u003C!-- blank line -->\n\n## 2. Model Registry: Breaking down silos between Data Science and Development teams\n\nFor organizations building AI-powered applications, bridging the gap between data science and software development teams has been a persistent challenge. Data scientists and developers often work in disconnected tools and workflows, leading to friction, delays, and potential errors when deploying models to production.\n\n[GitLab Model Registry](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/ml/model_registry/) directly addresses this challenge by providing a centralized hub where data science and development teams can collaborate seamlessly within their existing GitLab workflow. Built with [MLflow](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/ml/experiment_tracking/mlflow_client.html#model-registry) native integration, the registry allows data scientists to continue using their preferred tools while making models and artifacts instantly accessible to the broader development team.\nThis unified approach transforms team collaboration. Data scientists can version models, store artifacts, and document model behavior through comprehensive model cards, while developers can easily integrate these models into their applications using GitLab CI/CD pipelines for automated testing and deployment.\n\nAdditionally, the Model Registry's semantic versioning and GitLab API integration enables teams to implement robust governance and automate production deployments, creating a streamlined environment where data scientists and developers can work together effectively to deliver AI-powered innovation.\n\n_Model Registry is available across all tiers for SaaS and self-managed customers. See the [release blog for 17.6](https://docs.gitlab.com/releases/17/gitlab-17-6-released/#model-registry-now-generally-available) and [documentation](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/ml/model_registry/) for more._\n\n## 3. Secret Push Protection: Shift security left with proactive secret detection\n\nTeams often face a critical security challenge: Developers may hardcode sensitive information like API keys, tokens, and credentials as plain text in source code repositories, sometimes without even realizing it. This creates an easy target for threat actors and puts your organization at risk.\n\n[Secret Push Protection](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/prevent-secret-leaks-in-source-code-with-gitlab-secret-push-protection/) directly addresses this problem by blocking developers from pushing code that contains secrets, significantly reducing the likelihood of a breach. It works by leveraging customizable rules to identify high-confidence secrets before they ever reach your repository.\n\nWhat makes this solution particularly powerful is its integration with our pipeline secret detection, creating a comprehensive defense strategy.\n\n_Secret Push Protection is now generally available for all [GitLab Ultimate tier](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/ultimate/) and [GitLab Dedicated](https://about.gitlab.com/dedicated/) customers._\n\n\u003C!-- blank line -->\n\u003Cfigure class=\"video_container\">\n  \u003Ciframe src=\"\nhttps://www.youtube.com/embed/SFVuKx3hwNI?si=aV_3Lazs2AiDH3Jf\" title=\"Introduction to Secret Push Protection\" frameborder=\"0\" title=\"GitLab Vulnerability Resolution\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> \u003C/iframe>\n\u003C/figure>\n\u003C!-- blank line -->\n\n## Put these features to work today\n\nAt GitLab, we’re committed to making it easier for teams to build software, faster. Capabilities like GitLab Duo Vulnerability Resolution, Model Registry, and Secret Push Protection are just a few of the recent innovations we’ve delivered to help developers and security teams level up their DevSecOps workflows.

+ Amazon: Platform orchestration on a trusted AI foundation","Pair GitLab Duo Agent Platform with Amazon Bedrock for agentic software development and orchestration.","If your team runs GitLab and has a strong AWS practice, a new combination of Duo Agent Platform and Amazon Bedrock is just for you. The model is simple: GitLab acts as your orchestration layer to help accelerate your entire software lifecycle with agentic AI, and Bedrock is designed to provide a secure, compliant foundation model layer with AI inference behind the scenes.\n\nGitLab Duo Agent Platform enables you to handle planning, merge pipelines, security scanning, vulnerability remediation, and more as part of your GitLab workflows, while the GitLab AI Gateway routes model calls to Bedrock (or GitLab-managed Bedrock-backed endpoints, depending on your setup). That means you can build on the identity and access management (IAM) policies, virtual private cloud (VPC) boundaries, regional controls, and cloud spend commitments you already have in AWS.\n\nIf you already use Amazon Bedrock and want AI to help inside the work you already do in GitLab, not in yet another standalone chat tool, this is the pairing for you.\n\n\nIn this article, we look at the real problem many teams face today: AI is fragmented, data paths are fuzzy, and Bedrock investment gets underused when AI sits outside the software development lifecycle. Then we break down your deployment options for GitLab Duo Agent Platform:\n\n* Integrated with self-hosted models on Amazon Bedrock for GitLab Self-Managed deployments and self-hosted AI gateway   \n* Integrated with GitLab-operated models on Amazon Bedrock (with GitLab-owned keys) for GitLab Self-Managed deployments and GitLab-hosted AI gateway  \n* Integrated with GitLab-operated models on Amazon Bedrock (with GitLab-owned keys) for GitLab.com instances and GitLab-hosted AI gateway\n\nWe wrap with a summary on how this approach helps avoid shadow AI and point-tool sprawl without creating a parallel tech stack for AI tooling.\n\n## AI everywhere, control nowhere\n\nSomewhere in your company right now, software teams might be using an AI tool that your security team hasn't approved. Prompt data might be leaving your environment through a path no one has fully mapped. And your organization’s Amazon Bedrock investment might be underused while individual teams expense separate AI tools, pulling workloads and cloud spend away from the platforms you’ve already committed to.\n\nInstead of being a people problem, this might be an architecture problem. And it surfaces the same three constraints in nearly every enterprise:\n\n**Operational fragmentation.** Each team, or sometimes even an individual developer, picks their own development toolset, including AI tooling and model selection. That fragmentation makes end-to-end governance within the software development lifecycle nearly impossible.\n\n**Security and sovereignty.** Where does prompt and code data actually flow? Who owns the logs?\n\n**Cloud spend optimization.** Commitments to key cloud providers like AWS are diluted as workloads and AI usage drift to point tools outside of customers’ existing agreements.\n\nGitLab Duo Agent Platform and Amazon Bedrock help solve this together. The division of labor is straightforward: Duo Agent Platform owns the workflow orchestration with agentic AI for software development, Bedrock owns the inference layer and hosts approved foundational models, and your organization has full control over the data and policy boundaries you already defined in AWS. Three jobs, three owners, no fragmentation.\n\n## GitLab Duo Agent Platform: The agentic control plane\n\nGitLab Duo Agent Platform is GitLab's agentic AI layer: a framework of specialized agents and flows that operate simultaneously and in-parallel, going beyond the traditional stage-based handoffs  and helping automate work across the entire software lifecycle. Rather than a single assistant responding to prompts, Duo Agent Platform enables teams to orchestrate many AI agents asynchronously using unified data and project context, including issues, merge requests, pipelines, and security findings. Linear workflows are turned into coordinated, continuous collaboration between software teams and their AI agents, at scale.\n\nWith that control plane in place, the natural next question is which AI foundation should power these agents. For customers who run GitLab Self-Managed on AWS and need inference traffic, prompt data, and logs to also stay within their AWS environment along with their software lifecycle data, Amazon Bedrock acting as the AI inference layer is the natural fit. \n\n## Amazon Bedrock: The trusted AI foundation\n\nAmazon Bedrock is a fully managed, serverless foundation model layer that runs entirely within your AWS environment. Customer data stays in the customer's AWS account: inputs and outputs are encrypted in transit and at rest, never shared with model providers, and never used to train base models. Bedrock carries compliance certifications across GDPR, HIPAA, and FedRAMP High, covering many regulated industry requirements out of the box. Teams can also bring fine-tuned models from elsewhere via Custom Model Import and deploy them alongside native Bedrock models through the same infrastructure, without managing separate deployment pipelines. Bedrock Guardrails adds configurable safeguards across all models for content filtering, hallucination detection, and sensitive data protection.\n\nTogether, GitLab Duo Agent Platform and Bedrock consolidate DevSecOps orchestration and AI model governance, helping eliminate the fragmentation that happens when teams roll out AI tools independently.\n\n## Choosing your deployment path\n\nThe integration delivers the same core GitLab Duo Agent Platform capabilities regardless of how it is deployed. What varies is who runs GitLab, who operates the AI Gateway, and whose Bedrock account the inference runs through. The right pattern depends on where your organization already operates.\n\nAt a high level, the integration has three main components:\n\n* **GitLab Duo Agent Platform:** agentic workflows embedded across the software development lifecycle  \n* **AI Gateway (GitLab-managed or self-hosted):** the abstraction layer between Duo Agent Platform and the foundational model backend   \n* **Amazon Bedrock:** the AI model and inference substrate\n\n![Deployment of GitLab and AWS Bedrock](https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1776362365/udmvmv2efpmwtkxgydch.png)\n\nChoosing a deployment pattern is informed by where an organization wants to place the levers of control. The patterns below are designed to meet teams where they already are, whether that's SaaS-first, self-managed for compliance, or all-in on AWS with existing Bedrock investments.\n\n| Deployment Model | GitLab.com instance with GitLab-hosted AI Gateway with GitLab-operated Bedrock models   | GitLab Self-Managed with GitLab-hosted AI Gateway with GitLab-operated Bedrock models | GitLab Self-Managed  with self-hosted AI Gateway and customer-operated Bedrock models |\n| :---- | :---- | :---- | :---- |\n| **Ideal if you:** | Are primarily on GitLab.com and don’t want to self-host AI gateway and Bedrock models  | Need GitLab Self-Managed for compliance and operational reasons but don’t want to manage AI layer | Are AWS-centric with existing Bedrock usage and strict data/control needs  |\n| **Key Benefits** | Fastest, turnkey way to get Duo Agent Platform workflows: GitLab runs GitLab.com, the AI Gateway, integrated with Bedrock AI models. | Keep GitLab deployed in your own environment while consuming Bedrock models via a GitLab-managed AI Gateway, combining deployment control with simplified AI operations. | Run GitLab and AI Gateway in your AWS account, reuse existing IAM/VPC/regions, keep logs and data in your environment, and draw Bedrock usage from your existing AWS spend commitments. |\n\n## How customers use GitLab Duo Agent Platform with Amazon Bedrock\n\nPlatform teams can use GitLab Duo Agent Platform with Amazon Bedrock to standardize which models handle code suggestions, security analysis, and pipeline remediation. This helps enforce guardrails and logging centrally rather than letting individual teams adopt separate tools independently.\n\nSecurity workflows see particular benefit. GitLab Duo Agent Platform agents can propose and validate fixes for security findings within GitLab, helping reduce the manual triage work developers would otherwise handle outside the platform.\n\nFor enterprises already committed to AWS, routing AI workloads through Bedrock from within GitLab enables you to keep developer AI usage aligned with existing cloud agreements rather than generating separate, unplanned spend.\n\n## Closing the loop\n\nThe constraints that slow enterprise AI adoption are often not technical. They are organizational: fragmented tooling, ungoverned data flows, and cloud spend that never consolidates. Those are the problems that can stall AI programs even after the pilots succeed.\n\nGitLab Duo Agent Platform and Amazon Bedrock help address each one directly. Platform teams get consistent governance, auditability, and standardized paths for AI usage across the software development lifecycle. Development teams get streamlined, agentic workflows that feel native to GitLab. And AWS-centric organizations get to extend their existing Bedrock investment rather than build parallel AI infrastructure alongside it.\n\nThe result is an AI program that scales without fragmenting. Governance and velocity on the same stack, serving the same teams, under policies the organization already owns.\n\n\n> To explore which deployment pattern is right for your organization and how to align GitLab Duo Agent Platform and Amazon Bedrock with your existing AWS strategy, [contact the GitLab sales team](https://about.gitlab.com/sales/) and we’ll help you design and implement the best architecture for your environment.

But as adoption grows, so does oversight from finance, procurement, and platform teams to prove that AI spending is bounded, predictable, and controllable.\n\nOne of the greatest barriers to broader AI adoption isn't skepticism about the technology. It's uncertainty about managing spend. Without budget caps, a busy month could produce unexpected expenses. Without per-user limits, a handful of power users could burn through the team's credits before the month is over. And without either, engineering leaders who want to expand their use of agentic AI for software development have to jump through more hoops for budget approval.\n\nSince its [general availability](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/gitlab-duo-agent-platform-is-generally-available/), GitLab Duo Agent Platform has provided usage governance and visibility. With GitLab 18.11, we're introducing usage controls for [GitLab Credits](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/introducing-gitlab-credits/): spending caps and budget guardrails that give your organization even more control and transparency over how credits are consumed.\n\n## Managing GitLab Credits\n\nGitLab 18.11 adds three layers of control over GitLab Credits consumption: a subscription-level spending cap, per-user credit limits, and visibility into cap status and enforcement.\n\n### Subscription-level spending cap\n\nBilling account managers can now set a hard monthly ceiling for on-demand GitLab Credits consumption for their entire subscription.\n\nHere's how it works:\n\n* **Set a cap** in the `Customers Portal` under your subscription's GitLab Credits settings.  \n* **Enforce spend limits automatically.**  When on-demand usage reaches the cap, DAP access is paused for all users on that subscription until the next monthly period begins.  \n* **Make adjustments as you go.** Raise or disable the cap mid-month to restore access.\n\nThe cap resets each monthly period and your configured limit carries forward unless you change it. Because usage data is synchronized periodically rather than in real time, a small amount of additional usage may occur after the cap is reached before enforcement takes effect. See the [GitLab Credits documentation](https://docs.gitlab.com/subscriptions/gitlab_credits/) for details.\n\n### User-level spending caps\n\nNot every user consumes credits at the same rate, and that's expected. But when one or two power users account for a disproportionate share of the pool, the rest of the team can lose access before the month is over.\n\nPer-user credit caps prevent any single user from consuming more than their fair share:\n\n* **Flat per-user cap.** Set a uniform credit limit that applies equally to every user on the subscription through the GitLab GraphQL API. Unlike the subscription-level cap, the per-user cap applies to a user's total consumption across all credit sources.  \n* **Custom per-user overrides.** For organizations that need differentiated limits, you can set individual credit caps for specific users through the GraphQL API. For example, you could give your staff engineers a higher allocation while applying a standard limit to the broader team.  \n* **Individual enforcement.** When a user reaches their cap, they retain full access to GitLab. Only their Duo Agent Platform credit usage is paused until the next billing cycle. Everyone else keeps working uninterrupted until they hit their own limit or the subscription-level cap is reached, whichever comes first.\n\n### Visibility and notifications\n\nWhen a subscription-level cap is reached, GitLab sends an email notification to billing account managers so they can take action: raise the cap, wait for the next period, or redistribute credits.\n\nWithin GitLab, group owners (GitLab.com) and instance administrators (Self-Managed) can view which users have been blocked due to reaching their per-user cap and restore access by adjusting the cap through the GraphQL API. \n\n## How budget guardrails help organizations scale AI usage\n\nGuardrails are essential as organizations ramp up their AI adoption. Here's why:\n\n### Predictable AI budgets\n\nUsage controls for GitLab Duo Agent Platform turn AI into a bounded, predictable budget item using on-demand GitLab Credits. That makes it easier to deploy agents across the software development lifecycle and get sign-off from finance, justify renewals, and plan quarterly spend.\n\n### Governance and chargeback\n\nLarge organizations often need to align AI consumption with internal budgets, cost centers, or departmental policies. Per-user caps give platform teams a straightforward mechanism to allocate credits fairly and track consumption at the individual level. The API import options make it practical to manage caps at enterprise scale. Combined with per-user usage data from the GitLab Credits dashboard, organizations can track consumption patterns to inform their own internal chargeback or budget allocation processes.\n\n### Confidence to scale\n\nMany customers start GitLab Duo Agent Platform with a small pilot group. Usage controls remove risks associated with expanding that pilot across the organization. You can roll out Duo Agent Platform to hundreds or thousands of developers knowing there's a hard ceiling protecting your budget. If usage grows faster than expected, you'll hit the cap, not an unexpected invoice.\n\n## Addressing the seat-based and visibility conundrum\n\nMany AI coding tools take a seat-based approach to cost management. You buy a fixed number of seats at a flat per-user price, and that's your budget. It's simple, but rigid. You pay the same whether a developer uses the tool ten times a day or never touches it. And as vendors introduce premium models and usage-based overages on top of seat pricing, the cost predictability that seat-based licensing promised starts to erode.\n\n\nGitLab takes a different approach. Usage-based pricing with hard caps and a single governance dashboard. You get the flexibility of paying for what your teams actually use, with the budget predictability of enforced spending limits.\n\n## Real-world usage controls\n\n**One example is a mid-size SaaS customer that wants to protect their monthly budget.** A 200-person engineering organization sets a subscription-level cap equal to their expected on-demand usage. Their VP of Engineering can confidently tell finance that GitLab Duo Agent Platform spend will never exceed the approved amount, even as they onboard new teams. If they approach the cap mid-month, the billing account manager gets a notification and can decide whether to raise the limit or wait for the next period.\n\n**At GitLab, we also work with large enterprises that want to keep usage fair across teams.** A global financial services company with 2,000 developers uses per-user caps to ensure equitable access. Staff engineers working on complex refactoring projects get a higher individual allocation via API, while most developers receive a standard flat cap. No single user can exhaust the pool, and the platform team uses the per-user usage data in the GitLab Credits dashboard to track consumption patterns and inform quarterly budget planning.\n\n## Getting started\n\nUsage controls are available for both GitLab.com and Self-Managed customers running GitLab 18.11. Different controls are configured in different places depending on the scope and your role.\n\n**Subscription-level cap**\n\nBilling account managers set the subscription-level on-demand cap in the Customers Portal:\n\n1. Sign in to the `Customers Portal`.  \n2. On your subscription card, navigate to **GitLab Credits** settings.  \n3. Enable the monthly on-demand credits cap and enter your desired limit.\n\n**Flat per-user cap**\n\nThe flat per-user cap can be set through the GitLab GraphQL API by namespace owners (GitLab.com) or instance administrators (Self-Managed). Check the [GitLab Credits documentation](https://docs.gitlab.com/subscriptions/gitlab_credits/) for the latest on available configuration surfaces.\n\n**Custom per-user overrides**\n\nFor differentiated limits, namespace owners (GitLab.com) and instance administrators (Self-Managed) can set individual caps programmatically.
