A parent epic to keep track of our efforts to support cells within the Pipeline Execution team. ## Epic Estimate Entire epic as **L**, taking one developer 6 months. One of the **L** issues has a known an well-articulated solution, the other is not entirely nailed down as of yet. But together I estimate them as 6 developer-months. ## Individual issues w/ esimates :hourglass_flowing_sand: #### ~"group::ci platform" with a known and articulated solution: All of these can be worked on in parallel. * [x] https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/458486+s * [x] https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/458488+s * [x] https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/458490+s #### ~"group::ci platform" or ~"group::pipeline execution", with a known and articulated solution: All of these can be worked on in parallel. * [x] https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/458479+s * [x] https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/458483+s * [x] https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/458485+s * [x] https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/458494+s * [x] https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/458497+s * [-] https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/14167+s (Separated) ## Refinement :white_check_mark: As discussion and refinement continues on the issues of this epic, the LoE, scope, and responsible development group may change. Please reassign these to specific teams most suited to the work as the proposals become clear. #### ~"group::ci platform" or ~"group::pipeline execution", still needs refinement: * [x] https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/458492+s (refined into a job for the "Org Mover") ## Reassignment :white_check_mark: There are several existing but not actionable issues _related_ to our work; I believe these issues fall under the scope of the specific teams below. I've left them in here so as to not get lost until we find them a home in another epic, but I haven't bothered to write up issues for them because they're likely being thought and written about elsewhere. #### ~"group::runner" * [x] **ci_runner_projects** This table has `project_id`, and so _some_ `runner_id` can be associated with a project_id if they are Project-specific runners. But not all runners will be. * [x] ci_runners * [x] ci_cost_settings * [x] ci_runner_machines https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/460084 * [x] ci_runner_versions (exempted from sharding) #### ~"group::pipeline authoring" * [x] ci_instance_variables Exempted: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/459039 #### Sizing Guide ([Courtesy](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/12323#note_1819970206) of `@yanguo1`) | Size | Time Estimate | | ------ | ------ | | XS | 1-2 weeks | | S | 1 month | | M | 3 months | | L | 6 months | | XL | > 6 months | #### Not required for Cells 1.0: https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/13379+
