Closed darren17082 closed 4 years ago

darren17082 commented 4 years ago

The GitLab Runner engineering team would like to test the Runner and CI pipelines on an ARM powered server or virtual machine. The goal of this testing is to understand any technical challenges in supporting ARM powered VM's for GitLab Runner Cloud.

Hi Darren - Looks like we lost our template when making some changes, looking into it and may ask you to resubmit the issue once we get the template restored. Sorry about that.

Hi Darren - I have requested the machine meanwhile we wait for the template to get fixed. You should be getting an email in next couple of days on how to access the server, etc.

Project Title and description GitLab Runner

Which members of the community would benefit from your work? Is the code that you’re going to run 100% open source?

Open Source

Provide the URLs where it is located, or a Git repository. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-runner

What infrastructure (computing resources and network access) do you need? Let us know if you need short-term (one time) support, or if this is a request for continuous ongoing support. If possible, please identify foundations or other support organizations that can help with long-running projects.

The GitLab Runner team is interested in testing the Runner on an ARM backed virtual machine. We are evaluating whether there is value in offering ARM based Runners on GitLab.com

Describe the continuous integration (CI) system in use or desired for this project. Are you testing every check-in on arm64? (Would you like to?) If so, share a public URL of a CI dashboard

The plan is to test a sample of CI workloads on the ARM VM’s.

Are you using a hosted CI system for some or all of your existing testing?
