It generates EC2 instances, VPCs, subnets, security groups, and IAM roles needed to run GitLab CI/CD jobs directly in your AWS environment, eliminating the need to store credentials in GitLab variables.\n\nThe package wraps the complexity of setting up a self-hosted runner into a few lines of Python or TypeScript code. It supports customization of instance types, VPCs, IAM policies, security groups, and EBS volumes. By default it creates a T3.micro instance with a public subnet and associated networking. The runner authenticates to GitLab using a registration token and communicates back with your GitLab instance to receive and execute pipeline jobs.","worth_installing":"No. The repository is archived and abandoned; the maintainer is no longer accepting updates or fixes. While the package itself has no known vulnerabilities and low install friction, you are adopting unmaintained infrastructure-as-code that will not evolve with GitLab Runner or AWS CDK. For new projects, use an actively maintained alternative or manage the runner infrastructure directly with CDK or Terraform."},"id":"cdk-gitlab-runner","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/cdk-gitlab-runner","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/cdk-gitlab-runner.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/cdk-gitlab-runner/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-16","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"cdk-gitlab-runner","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Use AWS CDK to create a gitlab runner, and use gitlab runner to help you execute your Gitlab pipeline job."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":80460,"position":14291,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.4.74"}
