Create a new VM for gitlab-qa runner manager to be managed by chef-repo
Context: gitlab-org/gitlab-qa#261 (closed)
It has been decided to move the runners used for gitlab-qa
runs as part of GitLab development to a dedicated project in GCP. For this purpose, a new GCP project named gitlab-qa-runners
has been created. As a next step, we would like a VM to be created in this project, with gitlab-runner
and docker-machine
installed, and managed by chef-repo
, similar to how we do Distribution team's runners.
While I have been given access to the GCP folder, I am not sure how to proceed with getting a new VM setup and hooked to our Chef infrastructure and would some help there. Once the VM is ready, I can do the remaining tasks of registering a new runner, getting those info to chef-repo
etc.
