GitLab signs three-year AWS collaboration agreement

GitLab Inc. (NASDAQ: GTLB) announced it has signed a three-year strategic collaboration agreement with Amazon Web Services to expand access to GitLab Dedicated, according to a company statement.

GitLab Dedicated is a single-tenant offering designed for organizations in regulated industries and the public sector. The service enables these organizations to use cloud infrastructure while meeting compliance requirements including data residency, isolation, and private networking.

The service is managed and hosted by GitLab and deployed in customers' chosen AWS regions. This structure allows organizations to avoid building and managing their own infrastructure while maintaining flexibility similar to a self-managed instance.

The collaboration targets organizations seeking unified development and security toolchains. GitLab states the platform consolidates cybersecurity and development tools into a single system, which the company says eliminates tool sprawl and reduces operational costs.

"Organizations in regulated industries have been forced to choose between cloud efficiency and compliance requirements," said Ian Steward, Chief Revenue Officer at GitLab. "This partnership eliminates that trade-off by delivering enterprise-grade DevSecOps capabilities with the data residency and isolation controls that sectors like financial services and government require."

Chris Grusz, Managing Director of Technology Partnerships at AWS, said the collaboration "eliminates the compliance roadblocks that have traditionally held regulated industries back, empowering joint customers to innovate faster while meeting their most stringent security requirements."

The agreement builds on GitLab's existing partnership with AWS, which has provided DevSecOps capabilities across multiple industries. GitLab reports more than 50 million registered users and states that more than 50% of Fortune 100 companies use its platform.
