Thanks, glad you are finding it helpful!

We have a lot of improvements coming as well: https://about.gitlab.com/direction/#ci--cd

If Gitlab could deploy to a play-with-k8s temporary cluster with four hours to test and evaluate, that would be pretty cool.

I agree, that would be awesome!

While it's not a single button, GitLab is getting closer to that goal with the addition of our cluster integration feature: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/clusters/#adding-and...

If you create a trial account on GCP, you can then use GitLab to make a new GKE cluster and it will be automatically linked. You can then click a single button to deploy the Helm Tiller, a GitLab Runner, and then run your CI/CD jobs on your brand new cluster!

The GCP trial is pretty nice, you get $300 in credits and you won't be automatically billed at the end: https://cloud.google.com/free/
