Get started

RealHW is for GitLab users who want to select hardware from .gitlab-ci.yml.

You do not build RealHW or run RealHW services yourself in the normal customer path. You connect a GitLab project, choose runner tags, and let RealHW place each job on matching capacity.

Start here

1. Connect a GitLab project
2. Run your first job
3. Choose a runner
4. Review the marker catalog
5. Run an image workload

The model

RealHW exposes GitLab runner tags:

• GitLab-compatible SaaS tags such as saas-linux-medium-amd64
• RealHW hardware markers such as gpu:nvidia, nic:tier:25g, and numa:nodes:2

GitLab uses those tags to select the RealHW project runner. RealHW then reserves matching hardware before the job starts.
