Thank you so much for commenting. It is great to hear that the deep learning automation department of Nvidia is using GitLab and is happy with everything working in harmony.
Regarding your suggestions:
I asked to prioritize https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/17069
We're already actively discussing https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/18994
Not sure about https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/18106
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/224 looks interesting
Please comment in the issues if you have additional details about the use case or questions.
The costs of GitHost.io correlate with the storage since they are Digital Ocean instances. Not sure how to solve. Maybe by allowing to use their networked storage, but this seems complex. Consider emailing support@gitlab.com if you have any questions or suggestions.
