Problem/Motivation
Not sure if this is a good idea, but opening to document.
Our scheduled pipelines run tests against multiple environments, this results in dozens of simultaneous gitlab jobs, which means a spike in AWS resources every day.
Potentially, we could run each environment in sequence (probably by making environments depend on other environments or similar), and this would then use less runners, but for a longer period of time, smoothing out the peak usage. It doesn't lower the CPU overall, but it might mean more re-use of spot instances.
