R&D: Create a POC to solve the problem of routing jobs to runners (runner priority)
Overview
Several customers absolutely need a mechanism to configure the routing of jobs to runners.
Use case 1- Cloud bursting for GitLab CI jobs
- One use case that has come up recently in multiple customer conversations is being able to only burst into public cloud hosted runners,
(cloud bursting)
, when the on-premise hosted runner infrastructure is at capacity.
This use of the public cloud for burst-only workloads is critical as it enables customers to keep their cloud spend for runner infrastructure to a minimum.
Goal
- The expectation is that the proof-of-concept (POC) is to help us learn how best we can solve this problem in the most iterative way possible.
Thank you for helping to make GitLab a better product.
