# gitlab-machine

A tool to deploy on demand Gitlab CI/CD runners using the Custom Executor.

## What is it?

The Custom Executor is a mechanism from GitLab CI/CD that allows to plug specific runners to the CI/CD pipeline. This tool is a wrapper around the Custom Executor that allows to deploy on demand virtual instances.

It is currently in pre-alpha state, with support only for VMware Cloud Director and Windows machines (using SSH communication).

It should probably be replace with https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/ci-cd/custom-executor-drivers/autoscaler

## Expected config

```yaml

# The config file is a YAML file with the following structure:

log_level: debug
