What’s a “runner”?

• gchamonlive 2y ago
  It's a compute resource you configure to offload compute jobs from a specific platform. You can have for instance Jenkins runners that will actually execute the pipelines and leave the main node free to do UI and admin tasks. You also have github and gitlab VCS's that have their own hosted runners for pipelines, but also enable you to configure a runner to use private resources to offload jobs to.
