Whats the best practice for creating scaling runners on AWS?
I would have thought the documentation would have shown how to easilly create a EKS cluster and link it to GitLab, but the first documentation page I followed after clicking “New EKS Cluster” told me EKS was deprecated. WTF?
The documentation under GitLab Runner itself mentioned docker machine running on EC2 and Fargate, with a lot of setup.
Seriously - whats the way forward?
Difficult to see from your screenshots what page you are on. I googled, and got this link: Connect EKS clusters through cluster certificates (DEPRECATED) | GitLab which shows:
I’m assuming you mean this, since EKS through cluster certificates is deprecated. Clicking the Infrastructure as Code, then gets to this page: Create an Amazon EKS cluster | GitLab
Maybe that link is what you need for configuring EKS via the new method since the older method is no longer valid.
Yes - thats the page. But this button is some awful bait-and-switch, because nothing about this UI signals “deprecated”:
I only see a kubernetes option from the group view. Not under project unless like mine under Infrastructure. And shows deprecated for certificates in this location.
So theres no group-level K8s support anymore? Its deprecated?
I am not Gitlab staff, so I see the same info as you. My screenshots are from 14.8.2 version of Gitlab. So what you see or read in the docs, I guess means it is what it is.
