> * Faster startup time (current container runs `gitlab-ctl reconfigure` on every startup)

Oh my god, how much I'd love that.

On the topic of cloud native charts, can I use the new cloud native gitlab chart (if I run an external prometheus, postgres and redis already separately) today? And how would I migrate?

And one thing I'd love to see is building docker containers without having to give the runner access to the host's docker. How do other CI solutions do that?

The cloud native chart is still under development and breaking changes will occur, so I would not recommend using it for anything outside of testing. For example our current sprint is focusing on storage persistence.

For migration, you would perform a backup of the current instance and restore the backup onto the new cloud native based deployment.
