We now have a gitlab-runners VPS project for GitLab runners (T285913). Next up is provisioning a set of shared runners.
There's some experimentation to be done with how exactly we want that to look before we open things up. @dduvall and I will be pairing on that 2021-07-26.
For background:

| Resolved | brennen | T287279 Experiment with gitlab-runners project and provision a pool of shared runners for general use | |||
| Resolved | dduvall | T287504 Puppetize GitLab runner configuration |
Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-releng) [2021-07-23T19:26:46Z] <brennen> gitlab-runners: launched runner-1001, g3.cores8.ram36.disk20 to install baseline experimental runner (T287279)
Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-releng) [2021-07-26T20:45:08Z] <brennen> runner-1001: installed docker & gitlab-runner, registered runner-1001 to the gitlab instance for pipeline experimentation (T287279)
Our rough plan at the moment is to puppetize installation of gitlab-runner on nodes, and leave a manual configuration step for registering each as a Docker executor.
CCing @Jelto for awareness we're working on this.
With T287504: Puppetize GitLab runner configuration we have a new profile::gitlab::runner class that can be applied to WMCS VPSs in gitlab-runners or elsewhere. I'll update Wikitech with setup details and provisioning instructions.
I've updated https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/GitLab/Gitlab_Runner to reflect our new use of profile::gitlab::runner and included instructions on how to set up a new runner instance.
