NEW GitLab CI CD components explained

GitLab 17 introduced CI/CD components, a feature that enables creating reusable pipeline configurations across projects. Components offer advantages over templates including catalog listing, version control, and centralized updates. The tutorial demonstrates creating components in a dedicated group, defining input parameters and job logic, releasing versions through tags, and using components in project pipelines. Practical examples include Terraform infrastructure automation, Docker deployment to remote servers, and Ansible playbook execution, all triggered by file changes with automatic validation and deployment workflows.
