Thanks for taking the time to be thorough in your request, it really helps! :blush:

Once we run job, it should pick available runners provided by Gitlab. Rather than spinning up runnner’s dynamically. As I wants to have a static runner’s let’s say 5, which should be available all the times.

I am aware of self-managed runner’s, but the idea here is to see whether Gitlab is offering such runners.

@manuelgrabowski Appreciate your feedback/inputs on this.

Hey @shaikzoheb – this is not something we currently offer. Looking at the direction page for our SaaS Runners it does look like some of our future plans should align with what you’re looking for (emphasis mine):

Our flagship offering will be custom-hosted runners, allowing users to create custom GitLab-hosted runners via GitLab UI, fully dedicated to their project, with more advanced features such as dedicated IP-range, or SSH access for debugging.
