Gitlab Runners
Instances
Gitlab runners are set up with an instance autoscale setup where a dedicated VM will be spun up for each job (eg. a step in a CI/CD pipeline). During office hour an idle pool of 5 VMs will be running to shorten start-up time.
The autoscale manager host is currently vlarn024.ci.uninett.no
.
This set-up give the following benefits:
- Seperates each job for improved security
- A clean and consistent environment for each job
- Make runner resource congestion less of a problem and job duration should be much more consistent
