Windows 2022 support for GitLab SaaS runners now available

GitLab has introduced support for Windows 2022 on its SaaS runners, currently in Beta, as part of its efforts to transition these runners to general availability, while simultaneously announcing the deprecation of Windows 2019 and its associated tags with the upcoming release of GitLab 17.0. To streamline tag usage, the new tag saas-windows-medium-amd64 will replace the older tags shared-windows and windows-1809, and users must update their .gitlab-ci.yaml files to avoid job disruptions after the transition period. The update emphasizes the unavailability of alternative image versions, requiring users to adapt their configurations to the new Windows 2022 image, which includes updated pre-installed software components. Failure to update tags will result in jobs being stuck post-GitLab 17.0, necessitating prompt action to ensure a seamless migration.
