GitLab links AI coding assistant to AWS and Google Cloud, letting enterprises keep their data in-house while using AI

AI Summary

•GitLab expanded partnerships with Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud to support GitLab Duo Agent Platform — an AI assistant that helps software teams write and secure code. The integration lets customers run this AI on Amazon Bedrock (AWS's AI service) and Google Cloud's Vertex AI, rather than sending their code to external servers.
•Unlike generic AI coding tools, GitLab Duo operates as an agent (an AI that takes actions on its own) embedded directly in the development workflow — it doesn't just suggest code snippets, it can autonomously handle tasks like security scanning and compliance checks while keeping all data within the customer's own cloud account.
•For enterprises bound by data-residency rules or industry regulations (finance, healthcare, government), this means they can now use enterprise-grade AI coding assistance without risk of proprietary code leaking to third-party servers — a blocker that previously forced them to choose between AI productivity gains and regulatory compliance.
