# GitLab pipelines with parallel jobs

# GitLab pipelines with parallel jobs {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated March 12, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
GitLab Docker Image supports change creation in GitLab pipelines containing parallel jobs.
Note:  
If your GitLab pipeline has parallel jobs, it is better to use the GitLab Docker Image, rather than when:manual. For detailed information about GitLab Docker Image, see [Implement custom actions for pipelines using a generic Docker container image](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/lyDd5Y1L9yyAuDzJFwe0tg "Use the ServiceNow custom actions to collect data related to change request creation, Sonar scan, artifact registration, and package registration in your pipeline with the help of the generic Docker Container Image.").  
Sample yaml pipeline demonstrating parallel jobs:


    image: servicenowdocker/sndevops:3.1.0  # Update docker version per your current version.
    stages:
      - pre-build
      - build
      - test
      - pre-prod
      - prod


    Scan PreProd:
      stage: pre-build
      script:
        - echo $CI_JOB_NAME

    Check policies in PreProd:
      stage: build
      needs: 
        - job: "Scan PreProd"
      script:
        - exit 1  # Simulating a failed test job
      allow_failure: true  # Allow this job to fail without stopping the pipeline

    Check policies in Prod:
      stage: build
      needs: 
        - job: "Scan PreProd"
      script:
        - echo $CI_JOB_NAME

    Deploy App in Test:
      stage: test
      needs: 
        - job: "Scan PreProd"
      script: 
        - echo $CI_JOB_NAME

    Deploy App in PreProd:
      stage: pre-prod
      needs:
        - job: "Deploy App in Test"
        - job: "Check policies in PreProd"
      allow_failure: false
      script:
        - echo $CI_JOB_NAME
        - sndevopscli create change -p "{\"changeStepDetails\":{\"timeout\":3600,\"interval\":100},\"autoCloseChange\":true}"



    Deploy App in Prod:
      stage: prod
      needs:
        - job: "Deploy App in PreProd"
        - job: "Check policies in Prod"
      allow_failure: false
      script:
        - echo $CI_JOB_NAME
        - sndevopscli create change -p "{\"changeStepDetails\":{\"timeout\":3600,\"interval\":100},\"autoCloseChange\":true}"
