`parallel` allows you to configure how many duplicates of a job will be run in
parallel. This value has to be greater or equal to two (2).
`parallel` allows you to configure how many instances of a job to run in
parallel. This value has to be greater than or equal to two (2).
This creates N duplicates of the same job that run in parallel. They're named
This creates N instances of the same job that run in parallel. They're named
sequentially from `job_name 1/N` to `job_name N/N`.
For every job `CI_NODE_INDEX` and `CI_NODE_TOTAL` environment variables are set.
`CI_NODE_TOTAL` represents the total number of jobs while `CI_NODE_INDEX` is the
index of the job in the whole set.
For every job, `CI_NODE_INDEX` and `CI_NODE_TOTAL`[environment variables](../variables/README.html#predefined-variables-environment-variables) are set.
