# Runner Cloud for Linux **(FREE)**
This document was moved to [another location](../runner_cloud/linux_runner_cloud.md).
Runner Cloud runners for Linux run in autoscale mode and are powered by Google Cloud Platform.
Autoscaling means reduced queue times to spin up CI/CD jobs, and isolated VMs for each job, thus maximizing security. These shared runners are available on GitLab.com.
GitLab offers Ultimate tier capabilities and included CI/CD minutes per group per month for our [Open Source](https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/open-source/join/), [Education](https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/education/), and [Startups](https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/startups/) programs. For private projects, GitLab offers various [plans](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/), starting with a Free tier.
All your CI/CD jobs run on [n1-standard-1 instances](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/machine-types) with 3.75GB of RAM, CoreOS and the latest Docker Engine
installed. Instances provide 1 vCPU and 25GB of HDD disk space. The default
region of the VMs is US East1.
Each instance is used only for one job. This ensures that any sensitive data left on the system can't be accessed by other people's CI/CD jobs.
The `gitlab-shared-runners-manager-X.gitlab.com` fleet of runners are dedicated for GitLab projects as well as community forks of them. They use a slightly larger machine type (n1-standard-2) and have a bigger SSD disk size. They don't run untagged jobs and unlike the general fleet of shared runners, the instances are re-used up to 40 times.
Jobs handled by the shared runners on GitLab.com (`shared-runners-manager-X.gitlab.com`),
**time out after 3 hours**, regardless of the timeout configured in a
project. Check the issues [#4010](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/infrastructure/-/issues/4010) and [#4070](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/infrastructure/-/issues/4070) for the reference.
Below are the runners' settings.
| Setting | GitLab.com | Default |
| ----------- | ----------------- | ---------- |
| Executor | `docker+machine` | - |
| Default Docker image | `ruby:2.5` | - |
| `privileged` (run [Docker in Docker](https://hub.docker.com/_/docker/)) | `true` | `false` |
These runners share a [distributed cache](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/configuration/autoscale.html#distributed-runners-caching) through use of a Google Cloud Storage (GCS) bucket. Cache contents not updated within the last 14 days are automatically removed through use of an [object lifecycle management policy](https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/lifecycle).
## Pre-clone script
Build Cloud runners for Linux provide a way to run commands in a CI
job before the runner attempts to run `git init` and `git fetch` to
download a GitLab repository. The
[`pre_clone_script`](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/configuration/advanced-configuration.html#the-runners-section)
can be used for:
- Seeding the build directory with repository data
- Sending a request to a server
- Downloading assets from a CDN
- Any other commands that must run before the `git init`
To use this feature, define a [CI/CD variable](../../../ci/variables/index.md#custom-cicd-variables) called
`CI_PRE_CLONE_SCRIPT` that contains a bash script.
[This example](../../../development/pipelines.md#pre-clone-step)
demonstrates how you might use a pre-clone step to seed the build
directory.
NOTE:
The `CI_PRE_CLONE_SCRIPT` variable does not work on Windows runners.

# VM instances and images for Build Cloud for macOS **(FREE)**
This document was moved to [another location](../../runner_cloud/macos/environment.md).
When you use the Build Cloud for macOS:
- Each of your jobs runs in a newly provisioned VM, which is dedicated to the specific job.
- The VM is active only for the duration of the job and immediately deleted.
## VM types
The virtual machine where your job runs has `sudo` access with no password.
For the Beta, there is only one available machine type, `gbc-macos-large`.
| Instance type | vCPUS | Memory (GB) |
| --------- | --- | ------- |
| `gbc-macos-large` | 4 | 10 |
## VM images
You can execute your build on one of the following images.
You specify this image in your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file.
Each image is running a specific version of macOS and Xcode.
| VM image | Included software |
|---------------------------|--------------------|
| macos-10.13-xcode-7 | <https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/ci-cd/shared-runners/images/macstadium/orka/-/blob/main/toolchain/high-sierra.yml> |
| macos-10.13-xcode-8 | <https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/ci-cd/shared-runners/images/macstadium/orka/-/blob/main/toolchain/high-sierra.yml> |

| macos-11-xcode-12 | <https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/ci-cd/shared-runners/images/macstadium/orka/-/blob/main/toolchain/big-sur.yml> |
### Image update policy
- Support for new macOS versions is planned.
- Additional details on the support policy and image update release process are documented
[in this project](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/ci-cd/shared-runners/images/macstadium/orka/-/blob/55bf59c8fa88712960afff2bf6ecc5daa879a8f5/docs/overview.md#os-images).

# Runner Cloud for macOS (Beta) **(FREE SAAS)**
This document was moved to [another location](../runner_cloud/macos_runner_cloud.md).
The Runner Cloud for macOS Beta provides on-demand runners integrated with GitLab SaaS [CI/CD](../../../ci/index.md).
Use these runners to build, test, and deploy apps for the Apple ecosystem (macOS, iOS, tvOS). You can take advantage
of all the capabilities of the GitLab single DevOps platform and not have to manage or operate a
build environment.
Build Cloud runners for macOS are in [Beta](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/gitlab-the-product/#beta)
and shouldn't be relied upon for mission-critical production jobs.
## Quickstart
To start using Build Cloud for macOS Beta, you must submit an access request [issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/macos-buildcloud-runners-beta/-/issues/new?issuable_template=beta_access_request). After your
access has been granted and your build environment configured, you must configure your
`.gitlab-ci.yml` pipeline file:
1. Add a `.gitlab-ci.yml` file to your project repository.
1. Specify the [image](macos/environment.md#vm-images) you want to use.
1. Commit a change to your repository.
The runners automatically run your build.
## Example `.gitlab-ci.yml` file
The following sample `.gitlab-ci.yml` file shows how to start using the runners for macOS:
```yaml
.macos_buildcloud_runners:
tags:
- shared-macos-amd64
image: macos-11-xcode-12
stages:
- build
- test
before_script:
- echo "started by ${GITLAB_USER_NAME}"
build:
extends:
- .macos_buildcloud_runners
stage: build
script:
- echo "running scripts in the build job"
test:
extends:
- .macos_buildcloud_runners
stage: test
script:
- echo "running scripts in the test job"
```
NOTE:
During the Beta period, the architecture of this solution will change. Rather than the jobs running on a specific VM instance, they will run on an ephemeral VM instance that is created by an autoscaling instance, known as the Runner Manager. We will notify all Beta participants of any downtime required to do this work.

# Runner Cloud for Windows (beta) **(FREE)**
This document was moved to [another location](../runner_cloud/windows_runner_cloud.md).
Runner Cloud runners for Windows are in [beta](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/gitlab-the-product/#beta)
and shouldn't be used for production workloads.
During this beta period, the [shared runner pipeline quota](../../../user/admin_area/settings/continuous_integration.md#shared-runners-pipeline-minutes-quota)
applies for groups and projects in the same manner 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).
Windows runners on GitLab.com autoscale by launching virtual machines on
the Google Cloud Platform. This solution uses an
[autoscaling driver](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/ci-cd/custom-executor-drivers/autoscaler/tree/master/docs/readme.md)
developed by GitLab for the [custom executor](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/custom.html).
Windows runners execute your CI/CD jobs on `n1-standard-2` instances with
2 vCPUs and 7.5 GB RAM. You can find a full list of available Windows packages in
the [package documentation](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/ci-cd/shared-runners/images/gcp/windows-containers/blob/main/cookbooks/preinstalled-software/README.md).
We want to keep iterating to get Windows runners in a stable state and
[generally available](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/gitlab-the-product/#generally-available-ga).
You can follow our work towards this goal in the
[related epic](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/2162).
## Configuration
The full contents of our `config.toml` are:
NOTE:
Settings that aren't public are shown as `X`.
```toml
concurrent = X
check_interval = 3
[[runners]]
name = "windows-runner"
url = "https://gitlab.com/"
token = "TOKEN"
executor = "custom"
builds_dir = "C:\\GitLab-Runner\\builds"
cache_dir = "C:\\GitLab-Runner\\cache"
shell = "powershell"
[runners.custom]
config_exec = "C:\\GitLab-Runner\\autoscaler\\autoscaler.exe"
config_args = ["--config", "C:\\GitLab-Runner\\autoscaler\\config.toml", "custom", "config"]
prepare_exec = "C:\\GitLab-Runner\\autoscaler\\autoscaler.exe"
prepare_args = ["--config", "C:\\GitLab-Runner\\autoscaler\\config.toml", "custom", "prepare"]
run_exec = "C:\\GitLab-Runner\\autoscaler\\autoscaler.exe"

cleanup_exec = "C:\\GitLab-Runner\\autoscaler\\autoscaler.exe"
cleanup_args = ["--config", "C:\\GitLab-Runner\\autoscaler\\config.toml", "custom", "cleanup"]
```
The full contents of our `autoscaler/config.toml` are:
```toml
Provider = "gcp"
Executor = "winrm"
OS = "windows"
LogLevel = "info"
LogFormat = "text"
LogFile = "C:\\GitLab-Runner\\autoscaler\\autoscaler.log"
VMTag = "windows"
[GCP]
ServiceAccountFile = "PATH"
Project = "some-project-df9323"
Zone = "us-east1-c"
MachineType = "n1-standard-2"
Image = "IMAGE"
DiskSize = 50
DiskType = "pd-standard"
Subnetwork = "default"
Network = "default"
Tags = ["TAGS"]
Username = "gitlab_runner"
[WinRM]
MaximumTimeout = 3600
ExecutionMaxRetries = 0
[ProviderCache]
Enabled = true
Directory = "C:\\GitLab-Runner\\autoscaler\\machines"
```
## Example `.gitlab-ci.yml` file
Below is a sample `.gitlab-ci.yml` file that shows how to start using the runners for Windows:
```yaml
.shared_windows_runners:
tags:
- shared-windows
- windows
- windows-1809
stages:
- build
- test
before_script:
- Set-Variable -Name "time" -Value (date -Format "%H:%m")
- echo ${time}
- echo "started by ${GITLAB_USER_NAME}"
build:
extends:
- .shared_windows_runners
stage: build
script:
- echo "running scripts in the build job"
test:
extends:
- .shared_windows_runners
stage: test
script:
- echo "running scripts in the test job"
```
## Limitations and known issues
- All the limitations mentioned in our [beta
definition](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/#beta).
- The average provisioning time for a new Windows VM is 5 minutes.
This means that you may notice slower build start times
on the Windows runner fleet during the beta. In a future
release we intend to update the autoscaler to enable
the pre-provisioning of virtual machines. This is intended to 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).
- The Windows runner fleet may be unavailable occasionally
for maintenance or updates.
- The Windows runner virtual machine instances do not use the
GitLab Docker executor. This means that you can't specify
[`image`](../../../ci/yaml/index.md#image) or [`services`](../../../ci/yaml/index.md#services) in
your pipeline configuration.
- For the beta release, we have included a set of software packages in
the base VM image. If your CI job requires additional software that's
not included in this list, then you must add installation
commands to [`before_script`](../../../ci/yaml/index.md#before_script) or [`script`](../../../ci/yaml/index.md#script) to install the required
software. Note that each job runs on a new VM instance, so the
installation of additional software packages needs to be repeated for
each job in your pipeline.
- The job may stay in a pending state for longer than the
Linux runners.
- There is the possibility that we introduce breaking changes which will
require updates to pipelines that are using the Windows runner
fleet.

# Runner Cloud for macOS (Beta) **(FREE SAAS)**
The Runner Cloud for macOS Beta provides on-demand runners integrated with GitLab SaaS [CI/CD](../../../ci/index.md).
Use these runners to build, test, and deploy apps for the Apple ecosystem (macOS, iOS, tvOS). You can take advantage
of all the capabilities of the GitLab single DevOps platform and not have to manage or operate a
build environment.
Build Cloud runners for macOS are in [Beta](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/gitlab-the-product/#beta)
and shouldn't be relied upon for mission-critical production jobs.
## Quickstart
To start using Build Cloud for macOS Beta, you must submit an access request [issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/macos-buildcloud-runners-beta/-/issues/new?issuable_template=beta_access_request). After your
access has been granted and your build environment configured, you must configure your
`.gitlab-ci.yml` pipeline file:
1. Add a `.gitlab-ci.yml` file to your project repository.
1. Specify the [image](macos/environment.md#vm-images) you want to use.
1. Commit a change to your repository.
The runners automatically run your build.
## Example `.gitlab-ci.yml` file
The following sample `.gitlab-ci.yml` file shows how to start using the runners for macOS:
```yaml
.macos_buildcloud_runners:
tags:
- shared-macos-amd64
image: macos-11-xcode-12
stages:
- build
- test
before_script:
- echo "started by ${GITLAB_USER_NAME}"
build:
extends:
- .macos_buildcloud_runners
stage: build
script:
- echo "running scripts in the build job"
test:
extends:
- .macos_buildcloud_runners
stage: test
script:
- echo "running scripts in the test job"
```
NOTE:
During the Beta period, the architecture of this solution will change. Rather than the jobs running on a specific VM instance, they will run on an ephemeral VM instance that is created by an autoscaling instance, known as the Runner Manager. We will notify all Beta participants of any downtime required to do this work.

# Runner Cloud for Windows (beta) **(FREE)**
Runner Cloud runners for Windows are in [beta](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/gitlab-the-product/#beta)
and shouldn't be used for production workloads.
During this beta period, the [shared runner pipeline quota](../../../user/admin_area/settings/continuous_integration.md#shared-runners-pipeline-minutes-quota)
applies for groups and projects in the same manner 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).
Windows runners on GitLab.com autoscale by launching virtual machines on
the Google Cloud Platform. This solution uses an
[autoscaling driver](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/ci-cd/custom-executor-drivers/autoscaler/tree/master/docs/readme.md)
developed by GitLab for the [custom executor](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/custom.html).
Windows runners execute your CI/CD jobs on `n1-standard-2` instances with
2 vCPUs and 7.5 GB RAM. You can find a full list of available Windows packages in
the [package documentation](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/ci-cd/shared-runners/images/gcp/windows-containers/blob/main/cookbooks/preinstalled-software/README.md).
We want to keep iterating to get Windows runners in a stable state and
[generally available](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/gitlab-the-product/#generally-available-ga).
You can follow our work towards this goal in the
[related epic](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/2162).
## Configuration
The full contents of our `config.toml` are:
NOTE:
Settings that aren't public are shown as `X`.
```toml

```
## Example `.gitlab-ci.yml` file
Below is a sample `.gitlab-ci.yml` file that shows how to start using the runners for Windows:
```yaml
.shared_windows_runners:
tags:
- shared-windows
- windows
- windows-1809
stages:
- build
- test
before_script:
- Set-Variable -Name "time" -Value (date -Format "%H:%m")
- echo ${time}
- echo "started by ${GITLAB_USER_NAME}"
build:
extends:
- .shared_windows_runners
stage: build
script:
- echo "running scripts in the build job"
test:
extends:
- .shared_windows_runners
stage: test
script:
- echo "running scripts in the test job"
```
## Limitations and known issues
- All the limitations mentioned in our [beta
definition](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/#beta).
- The average provisioning time for a new Windows VM is 5 minutes.
This means that you may notice slower build start times
on the Windows runner fleet during the beta. In a future
release we intend to update the autoscaler to enable
the pre-provisioning of virtual machines. This is intended to 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).
- The Windows runner fleet may be unavailable occasionally
for maintenance or updates.
- The Windows runner virtual machine instances do not use the
GitLab Docker executor. This means that you can't specify
[`image`](../../../ci/yaml/index.md#image) or [`services`](../../../ci/yaml/index.md#services) in
your pipeline configuration.
- For the beta release, we have included a set of software packages in
the base VM image. If your CI job requires additional software that's
not included in this list, then you must add installation
commands to [`before_script`](../../../ci/yaml/index.md#before_script) or [`script`](../../../ci/yaml/index.md#script) to install the required
software. Note that each job runs on a new VM instance, so the
installation of additional software packages needs to be repeated for
each job in your pipeline.
- The job may stay in a pending state for longer than the
Linux runners.
- There is the possibility that we introduce breaking changes which will
require updates to pipelines that are using the Windows runner
fleet.
