GitLab is a scalable, self-hosted Git repository “ecosystem”. It is available as a free Community Edition and as a subscription-based Enterprise Edition. If you want to host your own full-featured source control system, under your control, then you should consider GitLab. Spinning up your own instance can be done in just a few hours using the Omnibus packages.
But what if you don’t want to invest that much time to see if GitLab is for you? Does Linux scare you? Do you want to try GitLab quickly without a big up-front investment? Need someone else to handle your GitLab administration? Microsoft Azure may be the answer.
