Zero Touch Provisioning for GitLab

This tutorial walks you through setting up Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) for GitLab.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure:

  • You have integrated GitLab with BoostSecurity.

  • You have created a boost repository within your organization's SCM, which should contain a README.md file. To do this, go to your GitLab organization where you installed BoostSecurity and create a new boost project that contains a Readme file.
