    gitlab-ci: Reduce cost and latency of jobs · 9892fdf0
    Emanuele Aina authored
    
    Add the `lightweight` tag to run jobs on the GitLab runners set up for
    jobs that do not need large amounts of resources (max 2GB of RAM) and do
    not need privileged containers.
    
    The former makes jobs cheaper because they user smaller VM instance
    types, the latter improves latency as there's no strong need to spin
    separate VMs to keep each job isolated and existing instances can be
    re-used instead.
