Migrating from Jenkins to GitLab is considered beneficial due to GitLab's comprehensive AI-powered DevSecOps platform. GitLab provides everything needed to plan, develop and deliver secure software faster, all within one tool. This integrated approach eliminates the pains and struggles of integrating various tools often required with Jenkins. GitLab offers a unified platform that streamlines development workflows, fosters collaboration, enhances security and ensures scalability. Also, the annual renewal costs associated with GitLab's enterprise edition pose substantial financial challenges for organizations.

Thus, the intricate process of migrating CI/CD pipelines from GitLab to Jenkins is cost-effective. The whitepaper provides a comprehensive guide, detailing best practices and practical steps for organizations grappling with their CI/CD workflow transition.

The methodology involves migrating the Source Code Management (SCM) repository from GitLab to GitHub and integrating the CI feature into Jenkins. The paper addresses various challenges encountered during this journey, including SSH authentication, rewriting the entire 'gitlab-ci.yaml' configuration, installing essential plugins, extensive testing and establishing webhooks.
