Why? The YoutTube GitLab channel has the Learn@GitLab playlist on it. This playlist is comprised of the videos the Developer Advocate team creates about the customer use cases which are the basis of our Use Case GTM. To increase the value we get from these videos it is valuable to cross reference to other videos, the playlist, and to subscribe, by adding appropriate CTA’s at the end of our videos.
Why Automatically generating comparison infographics means that the grphic creation is data driven. The value of this is a few things:
efficiency and quality - it is far more efficient and far less error prone to auto generate graphics than to have individuals hand creating each graphic scale - hand creation of each graphic does not scale. We are looking at generating over 80 different detailed images based on a lot of data, each one with over 106 touch points.
Account info We don’t currently have a shared AWS account for using AWS resources. For now, open an account with your personal credit card and expense it. You can start with a free trial. I will look into a team shared account.
Creating a cluster There are many steps to set up a cluster in EKS, but there is a 3rd party script which I’ve found to be pretty good at orchestrating the work.
Creating and Publishing This is the SSoT for the steps to creating and publishing video demos. These are designed to show up in our issue templates. There are several types of demo issue templates but this is what they have in common (with the exception of some specific publish locations details which need to be adjusted per issue template).

1. Upload a video There are two YouTube channels we use at GitLab:
Branded: used for official content intended for people in the wider community. This content must be approved by the Brand team. Unfiltered: used for content intended for team and community members. This content does not require approval from the Brand team but still should follow all brand guidelines and use up-to-date brand assets. Contact the Brand team in the #brand_video Slack channel for any questions.
