What version of Node.js is used in the examples?

The patterns default to modern, stable images like Node 20, following the best practice of using specific image tags rather than 'latest'.

Does it support automated security scanning?

Absolutely, it integrates GitLab's security templates and third-party tools like Trivy for SAST, dependency, and container vulnerability scanning.

Can I use this for Terraform infrastructure deployments?

Yes, it includes specialized pipeline structures for Terraform validation, planning, and application with manual approval gates.

How does this skill help with GitLab Runner optimization?

It provides patterns for efficient caching and artifact management to reduce job execution time and bandwidth usage on distributed runners.

Is it suitable for multi-environment setups?

Yes, it features templates for staging and production environments, supporting environment-specific variables and manual deployment triggers.
