Run your first job

Start with a normal GitLab-compatible SaaS runner tag. This validates the project runner before you add specialized hardware markers.

Add this job to .gitlab-ci.yml:

stages:
  - test

unit-tests:
  stage: test
  tags:
    - saas-linux-medium-amd64
  script:
    - echo "running on RealHW"
    - uname -m

Push a commit and open the GitLab pipeline.

Expected result

The job is picked up by the RealHW project runner and runs on compatible Linux capacity.

Add a hardware marker

After the basic job works, add a marker for the hardware you need:

gpu-smoke:
  stage: test
  tags:
    - saas-linux-large-amd64
    - gpu:nvidia
    - gpu:count:1
  script:
    - nvidia-smi

GitLab sees the job as a tagged runner job. RealHW uses the hardware markers to place it on a host with matching GPU capacity.
