Hi Dan,

you are right, it looks like they've changed it quite a while back [1] - at least for AMIs outside of the AWS
Marketplace, if I understood that part correctly.  Currently, I'm just using the kops default (Debian Jessie, with a 4.4
kernel), but Amazon Linux is supposed to work as well [2].

So yes, I think we can reduce the timeout value dramatically (maybe even down to 1 minute), possibly saving quite some
money over time. Thanks for the input, it's much appreciated!

> Do your builds take advantage of any caching, and if so, how are you making it persistent?

Caching is supported in general and up to the user (or rather their .gitlab-ci.yml [3]). IIRC, Gitlab Runner just
creates a zip file of the files/directories you've specified and uploads it to S3.

Well, so am I :)

For now, I can advise following the git repo and this mailing list. Code contributions are welcome as well, of course.

Best regards,
Michael
