How to stand-up a GitLab instance in AWS Marketplace

The guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough on setting up a self-managed GitLab instance in the AWS Marketplace, detailing the necessary prerequisites, such as an AWS account and a functioning VPC. It covers the step-by-step process of launching GitLab, including configuring security group settings, creating a key pair, and successfully accessing the GitLab login page. Furthermore, the guide elaborates on installing the GitLab Runner and Docker Engine, connecting to the GitLab machine via SSH using the AWS console, and setting up the runner to execute CI/CD jobs. Despite noting that installing runners on the same server as GitLab is not a best practice due to security and performance issues, the guide proceeds with this approach for simplicity. It concludes by explaining how to register the runner and verify its availability under specific runners in GitLab, setting the stage for creating projects and running CI/CD pipelines in future discussions.
