Yes if you compare just the price of a compute minute, then it is fair to state that the per-minute price is more than other services or do-it-yourself Runner on public clouds. And, of course, with GitLab, you can easily attach a self-managed Runner to a group or project, as there are no limitations or additional pricing that would prevent you from doing so.
However, we believe that the value of the GitLab SaaS solution will save you additional overhead costs over the long term compared to a do-it-yourself build environment. And we will continue to add more value to GitLab SaaS in the coming months, which your developers will immediately be able to use.
Darren here - PM for GitLab Runner. At this time, we aren't considering adding Podman to GitLab SaaS Runners on Linux. I created this issue, so please add comments there so we can continue the discussion.
Hello - I am the product manager for GitLab Runner. The SIGTERM-related issues have been quite complex due to the different execution environments in which the Runner can operate. Can you add the details of your use case and workaround to the issue below? We need to take another look at this functionality, given the various reports of inconsistent behavior with long-running processes.
Is this on GitLab.com Shared Runners or your own? Also - go ahead and raise an issue with the details in the runner project so we can take a closer look.
ok ping me on the epic link below. @DarrenEastman is the GitLab handle and let me know what compute class you are needing. We are planning to pivot soon on getting various compute types available on GitLab.com Shared runners.
Hi Carlos, Darren here, PM for runner. Can you provide a bit more insight in terms of some of the challenges that you are having with hosting your own runners? In regards to testing CI locally, did you mean having the ability to validate that a pipeline is fully functional prior to pushing your commit to GitLab?
