It has been possible to run GitLab the application on K8s for some time now for the majority of self-managed deployments. There were some limitations however, for running GitLab on K8s at the very large scale of GitLab.com that we have been working through in the last year.

- stepbeek 6y ago> August 2019 when we migrated the GitLab Container Registry to Kubernetes, the first service to move. Though this was a critical and high traffic service, it was a good choice for the first migration because it is a stateless application with only a few external dependencies I was under the impression that porting a large stateless service was something that wasn't too bad to do with K8S? What limitations prevented this from going ahead earlier?
- jarv 6y agoYeah, this is why we decided to migrate it first about a year ago, and we probably could have done it sooner than that. Other services were not yet ready to migrate until recently due to some blocking issues which was a factor in the decision. disclaimer: blog post author
