Job start times for CI/CD jobs on GitLab.com small Linux x86-64 hosted runners have returned to normal, and the backlog of pending jobs has been processed. The delays were caused by errors and capacity constraints from our cloud provider when provisioning runner capacity in one region, between approximately 13:17 and 19:15 UTC. Jobs that were delayed are now starting as usual. We are monitoring to make sure performance remains stable and will post an update when this incident is resolved.
