In Free2move we use Gitlab for CI/CD. GitLab Runner is an application that works with GitLab CI/CD to run jobs in a
pipeline.
For security and performance reasons, Gitlab Runners are deployed on hosts that are different than Gitlab hosts.
Usually, runners are deployed as K8S pod, EC2 single-instance or EC2 Auto-Scaling Group, and serve different purposes.
To select a runner in your CI/CD job please define a tag section in your job
