## Shared Runners
2020-01-21 03:08:37 +00:00
GitLab offers Linux and Windows shared runners hosted on GitLab.com for executing your pipelines.
### Linux Shared Runners
Linux Shared Runners on GitLab.com run in [autoscale mode] and are powered by Google Cloud Platform.
2019-08-13 08:15:17 +00:00
Autoscaling means reduced waiting times to spin up CI/CD jobs, and isolated VMs for each project,
thus maximizing security. They're free to use for public open source projects and limited
to 2000 CI minutes per month per group for private projects. More minutes
[can be purchased ](../../subscriptions/index.md#extra-shared-runners-pipeline-minutes ), if
needed. Read about all [GitLab.com plans ](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/ ).
2018-03-23 16:29:55 +00:00
2018-09-03 23:08:14 +00:00
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
2018-04-05 18:20:39 +00:00
installed. Instances provide 1 vCPU and 25GB of HDD disk space. The default
region of the VMs is US East1.
2018-09-03 23:08:14 +00:00
Each instance is used only for one job, this ensures any sensitive data left on the system can't be accessed by other people their CI jobs.
2018-03-23 16:29:55 +00:00
2019-12-05 21:07:40 +00:00
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 will not run untagged jobs and unlike the general fleet of shared Runners, the instances are re-used up to 40 times.
2018-05-16 06:47:18 +00:00
Jobs handled by the shared Runners on GitLab.com (`shared-runners-manager-X.gitlab.com`),
**will be timed out after 3 hours**, regardless of the timeout configured in a
project. Check the issues [4010] and [4070] for the reference.
2018-03-23 16:29:55 +00:00

### Windows Shared Runners (beta)
The Windows Shared Runners are currently in
[beta ](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/#beta ) and should not be used
for production workloads.
During the beta period for groups and private projects the use of
Windows Shared Runners will count towards the [shared runner pipeline
quota](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/admin_area/settings/continuous_integration.html#shared-runners-pipeline-minutes-quota-starter-only)
as if they are Linux Runners, we do have plans to change this in
[#30835 ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues/30834 ).
Windows Shared Runners on GitLab.com automatically autoscale by
launching virtual machines on the Google Cloud Platform. This solution uses
a new [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 Shared Runners execute your CI/CD jobs on `n1-standard-2` instances with 2
vCPUs and 7.5GB 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/master/cookbooks/preinstalled-software/README.md ).
We want to keep iterating to get Windows Shared Runners in a stable state and
[generally available ](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/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:
```toml
concurrent = 10
check_interval = 3
[[runners]]
name = "windows-runner"
url = "https://gitlab.com/"
token = "TOKEN"
executor = "custom"
builds_dir = "C:\\GitLab-Runner\\builds"

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"

[WinRM]
MaximumTimeout = 3600
ExecutionMaxRetries = 0
[ProviderCache]
Enabled = true
Directory = "C:\\GitLab-Runner\\autoscaler\\machines"
```
#### Example
Below is a simple `.gitlab-ci.yml` file to show how to start using the
Windows Shared Runners:
```yaml
.shared_windows_runners:
tags:
- shared
- windows
- windows-1809
stages:
- build
- test
before_script:
- date +"%H"
- echo ${HOUR}
- 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 for the beta you will notice slower build start times
on the Windows Shared Runner fleet compared to Linux. In a future
release we will add the ability to the autoscaler which will enable
the pre-warming of virtual machines. This will significantly reduce
the time it takes to provision a VM on the Windows fleet. You can
follow along in this
[issue ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/ci-cd/custom-executor-drivers/autoscaler/issues/32 ).
- The Windows Shared Runner fleet may be unavailable occasionally
for maintenance or updates.
- The Windows Shared Runner virtual machine instances do not use the
GitLab Docker executor. This means that unlike the Linux Shared
Runners, you will not be able to specify `image` and `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 will need to add installation
commands to [`before_script` ](../../ci/yaml/README.md#before_script-and-after_script ) or [`script` ](../../ci/yaml/README.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 shared Runners.
- There is the possibility that we introduce breaking changes which will
require updates to pipelines that are using the Windows Shared Runner
fleet.

## PostgreSQL
GitLab.com being a fairly large installation of GitLab means we have changed
various PostgreSQL settings to better suit our needs. For example, we use
streaming replication and servers in hot-standby mode to balance queries across
different database servers.
The list of GitLab.com specific settings (and their defaults) is as follows:
| Setting | GitLab.com | Default |
|:------------------------------------|:--------------------------------------------------------------------|:--------------------------------------|

| wal_level | replica | minimal |
| statement_timeout | 15s | 60s |
| idle_in_transaction_session_timeout | 60s | 60s |
Some of these settings are in the process being adjusted. For example, the value
for `shared_buffers` is quite high and as such we are looking into adjusting it.

## GitLab.com-specific rate limits
NOTE: **Note:**
See [Rate limits ](../../security/rate_limits.md ) for administrator
documentation.
IP blocks usually happen when GitLab.com receives unusual traffic from a single
IP address that the system views as potentially malicious based on rate limit

#### Git and container registry failed authentication ban
2019-08-23 19:52:53 +00:00
GitLab.com responds with HTTP status code `403` for 1 hour, if 30 failed
2019-08-02 02:41:52 +00:00
authentication requests were received in a 3-minute period from a single IP address.
This applies only to Git requests and container registry (`/jwt/auth`) requests
(combined).
2019-08-28 05:57:20 +00:00
This limit:
2019-08-02 02:41:52 +00:00
2019-08-28 05:57:20 +00:00
- Is reset by requests that authenticate successfully. For example, 29
failed authentication requests followed by 1 successful request, followed by 29
more failed authentication requests would not trigger a ban.
- Does not apply to JWT requests authenticated by `gitlab-ci-token` .
2019-08-23 19:52:53 +00:00

## GitLab.com Logging
We use [Fluentd ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/runbooks/tree/master/logging/doc#fluentd ) to parse our logs. Fluentd sends our logs to
[Stackdriver Logging ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/runbooks/tree/master/logging/doc#stackdriver ) and [Cloud Pub/Sub ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/runbooks/tree/master/logging/doc#cloud-pubsub ).
Stackdriver is used for storing logs long-term in Google Cold Storage (GCS). Cloud Pub/Sub
is used to forward logs to an [Elastic cluster ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/runbooks/tree/master/logging/doc#elastic ) using [pubsubbeat ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/runbooks/tree/master/logging/doc#pubsubbeat-vms ).
You can view more information in our runbooks such as:
- A [detailed list of what we're logging ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/runbooks/tree/master/logging/doc#what-are-we-logging )
- Our [current log retention policies ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/runbooks/tree/master/logging/doc#retention )
