Follow-up from "Add Windows Shared Runners to GitLab.com settings page of user docs"
The following discussions from !23222 (merged) should be addressed:
-
@marcel.amirault started a discussion: For followup, rephrase:
During the beta period, the [shared runner pipeline quota](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/admin_area/settings/continuous_integration.html#shared-runners-pipeline-minutes-quota-starter-only) will apply for groups and projects in the same way as Linux Runners. This may change when the beta period ends, as discussed in this [related issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues/30834).
-
@marcel.amirault started a discussion: This means that you may notice slower build start times on the Windows Shared Runner fleet during the beta when compared to Linux. In a future release we will update the autoscaler to enable the pre-provisioning of virtual machines. This will significantly reduce the time it takes to provision a VM on the Windows fleet. You can follow along in the [related issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/ci-cd/custom-executor-drivers/autoscaler/issues/32).
-
@marcel.amirault started a discussion: GitLab Docker executor. This means that you will not be able to specify [`image`](../../ci/yaml/readme.md#image) or [`services`](../../ci/yaml/readme.md#services) in your pipeline configuration.
