### Global section
```toml
concurrent = 3
concurrent = 10
check_interval = 0
```
In the global section, you can define the limit of the jobs that can be run
concurrently across all Runners (`concurrent`). This heavily depends on your
needs, like how many users your Runners will accommodate, how much time your
builds take, etc. You can start with something low, and increase its value going
forward.
The `check_interval` setting defines in seconds how often the Runner should
check GitLab for new jobs.

about all the options you can use.
### `[[runners]]`
```toml
[[runners]]
name = "gitlab-aws-autoscaler"
url = "<url to your GitLab CI host>"
token = "<registration token>"
url = "<URL of your GitLab instance>"
token = "<Runner's token>"
executor = "docker+machine"
limit = 4
```
From the `[[runners]]` section, the most important part is the `executor` which
must be set to `docker+machine`. All those settings are taken care of when you
register the Runner for the first time.

### `[runners.docker]`
```toml
[runners.docker]
image = "alpine"
privileged = true
disable_cache = false
volumes = ["/cache"]
disable_cache = true
```
In the `[runners.docker]` section you can define the default Docker image to
be used by the child Runners if it's not defined in [`.gitlab-ci.yml`](../../ci/yaml/README.md).
Using `privileged = true`, all Runners will be able to run Docker in Docker
which is useful if you plan to build your own Docker images via GitLab CI/CD.
Next, we use `disable_cache = true` to disable the Docker executor's inner
cache mechanism since we will use the distributed cache mode as described
below.

### `[runners.cache]`
To speed up your jobs, GitLab Runner provides a cache mechanism where selected
directories and/or files are saved and shared between subsequent jobs.
While not required for this setup, it is recommended to use the shared cache
While not required for this setup, it is recommended to use the distributed cache
mechanism that GitLab Runner provides. Since new instances will be created on
demand, it is essential to have a common place where cache is stored.
