This is laughable. Just renting another box at Hetzner with the specs necessary for their Gitlab would be around $100-$150 per month. That is maybe 1-2k per yea

This is laughable. Just renting another box at Hetzner with the specs necessary for their Gitlab would be around $100-$150 per month. That is maybe 1-2k per year. With 10tb/month traffic included already, IIRC, additional at a very reasonable price, and traffic to their already existing Hetzner runner box being non-metered to begin with. But woooh, that's probably not cloudey enough.
