+
+Deployment jobs are a specific kind of CI job in that they deploy code to

+uses the `environment` keyword and the [`start` environment `action`](../yaml/index.md#environmentaction).
+Deployment jobs do not need to be in the `deploy` stage. The following `deploy me`
+job is an example of a deployment job. `action: start` is the default behavior and
+is defined for the sake of the example, but you can omit it:
+
+```yaml
+deploy me:
+ script:
+ - deploy-to-cats.sh
+ environment:
+ name: production
+ url: https://cats.example.com
+ action: start
+```
+
+The behavior of deployment jobs can be controlled with
+[deployment safety](../environments/deployment_safety.md) settings like
+[skipping outdated deployment jobs](../environments/deployment_safety.md#prevent-deployments-during-deploy-freeze-windows)
+and [ensuring only one deployment job runs at a time](../environments/deployment_safety.md#ensure-only-one-deployment-job-runs-at-a-time).

+## Create a job that must be run manually
+
+You can require that a job doesn't run unless a user starts it. This is called a **manual job**.
+You might want to use a manual job for something like deploying to production.
+
+To specify a job as manual, add [`when: manual`](../yaml/index.md#when) to the job
+in the `.gitlab-ci.yml` file.
+
+By default, manual jobs display as skipped when the pipeline starts.
+
+You can use [protected branches](../../user/project/protected_branches.md) to more strictly
+[protect manual deployments](#protect-manual-jobs) from being run by unauthorized users.
+
+### Types of manual jobs
+
+Manual jobs can be either optional or blocking:
+
+- **Optional**: The default setting for manual jobs.
+ - They have [`allow_failure: true`](../yaml/index.md#allow_failure) by default.
+ - The status does not contribute to the overall pipeline status. A pipeline can
+ succeed even if all of its manual jobs fail.
+- **Blocking**: An optional setting for manual jobs.
+ - Add `allow_failure: false` to the job configuration.
+ - The pipeline stops at the stage where the job is defined. To let the pipeline
+ continue running, [run the manual job](#run-a-manual-job).
+ - Merge requests in projects with [merge when pipeline succeeds](../../user/project/merge_requests/merge_when_pipeline_succeeds.md)
+ enabled can't be merged with a blocked pipeline. Blocked pipelines show a status
+ of **blocked**.

+To run a manual job:
+
+1. Go to the pipeline, job, [environment](../environments/index.md#configure-manual-deployments),

+1. Next to the manual job, select **Play** (**{play}**).
+
+### Protect manual jobs **(PREMIUM)**
+
+Use [protected environments](../environments/protected_environments.md)
+to define a list of users authorized to run a manual job. You can authorize only
+the users associated with a protected environment to trigger manual jobs, which can:
+
+- More precisely limit who can deploy to an environment.
+- Block a pipeline until an approved user "approves" it.
+
+To protect a manual job:
+
+1. Add an `environment` to the job. For example:
+
+ ```yaml
+ deploy_prod:
+ stage: deploy
+ script:
+ - echo "Deploy to production server"
+ environment:
+ name: production
+ url: https://example.com
+ when: manual
+ rules:
+ - if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == $CI_DEFAULT_BRANCH
+ ```
+
+1. In the [protected environments settings](../environments/protected_environments.md#protecting-environments),
+ select the environment (`production` in this example) and add the users, roles or groups
+ that are authorized to trigger the manual job to the **Allowed to Deploy** list. Only those in
+ this list can trigger this manual job, as well as GitLab administrators
+ who are always able to use protected environments.
+
+You can use protected environments with blocking manual jobs to have a list of users
+allowed to approve later pipeline stages. Add `allow_failure: false` to the protected
+manual job and the pipeline's next stages only run after the manual job is triggered
+by authorized users.
+
+## Run a job after a delay
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/51352) in GitLab 11.4.
+
+Use [`when: delayed`](../yaml/index.md#when) to execute scripts after a waiting period, or if you want to avoid
+jobs immediately entering the `pending` state.
+
+You can set the period with `start_in` keyword. The value of `start_in` is an elapsed time in seconds, unless a unit is
+provided. `start_in` must be less than or equal to one week. Examples of valid values include:
+
+- `'5'` (a value with no unit must be surrounded by single quotes)
+- `5 seconds`
+- `30 minutes`
+- `1 day`
+- `1 week`
+
+When a stage includes a delayed job, the pipeline doesn't progress until the delayed job finishes.
+You can use this keyword to insert delays between different stages.
+
+The timer of a delayed job starts immediately after the previous stage completes.
+Similar to other types of jobs, a delayed job's timer doesn't start unless the previous stage passes.
+
+The following example creates a job named `timed rollout 10%` that is executed 30 minutes after the previous stage completes:
+
+```yaml
+timed rollout 10%:
+ stage: deploy
+ script: echo 'Rolling out 10% ...'
+ when: delayed
+ start_in: 30 minutes
+```
+
+To stop the active timer of a delayed job, click the **{time-out}** (**Unschedule**) button.
+This job can no longer be scheduled to run automatically. You can, however, execute the job manually.
+
+To start a delayed job immediately, select **Play** (**{play}**).
+Soon GitLab Runner starts the job.
+

+# Build Cloud runners for macOS (Beta)
+
+The GitLab Build Cloud for macOS Beta provides on-demand runners integrated with GitLab SaaS [CI/CD](../../../ci/index.md).
+Use these runners to build, test, and deploy apps for the Apple ecosystem (macOS, iOS, tvOS). You can take advantage
+of all the capabilities of the GitLab single DevOps platform and not have to manage or operate a
+build environment.
+
+Build Cloud runners for macOS are in [Beta](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/gitlab-the-product/#beta)
+and shouldn't be relied upon for mission-critical production jobs.
+
+## Quickstart
+
+To start using Build Cloud for macOS Beta, you must submit an access request issue. After your
+access has been granted and your build environment configured, you must configure your
+`.gitlab-ci.yml` pipeline file:
+
+1. Add a `.gitlab-ci.yml` file to your project repository.
+1. Specify the [image](macos/environment.md#vm-images) you want to use.
+1. Commit a change to your repository.
+
+The runners automatically run your build.
+
+## Example `.gitlab-ci.yml` file
+
+The following sample `.gitlab-ci.yml` file shows how to start using the runners for macOS:
+
+```yaml

- to the overall pipeline status. A pipeline can succeed even if all its manual jobs fail.
-
-- **Blocking**: To make a blocking manual job, add `allow_failure: false` to its configuration.
- Blocking manual jobs stop further execution of the pipeline at the stage where the
- job is defined. To let the pipeline continue running, click **{play}** (play) on
- the blocking manual job.
-
- Merge requests in projects with [merge when pipeline succeeds](../../user/project/merge_requests/merge_when_pipeline_succeeds.md)

-earlier, using them together causes the error `jobs:#{job-name} when should be on_success, on_failure or always`.
-
-##### Protecting manual jobs **(PREMIUM)**
-
-Use [protected environments](../environments/protected_environments.md)
-to define a list of users authorized to run a manual job. You can authorize only
-the users associated with a protected environment to trigger manual jobs, which can:
-
-- More precisely limit who can deploy to an environment.
-- Block a pipeline until an approved user "approves" it.
-
-To protect a manual job:
-
-1. Add an `environment` to the job. For example:
-
- ```yaml
- deploy_prod:
- stage: deploy
- script:
- - echo "Deploy to production server"
- environment:
- name: production
- url: https://example.com
- when: manual
- rules:
- - if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == $CI_DEFAULT_BRANCH
- ```
+In this example, the script:
-1. In the [protected environments settings](../environments/protected_environments.md#protecting-environments),
- select the environment (`production` in this example) and add the users, roles or groups
- that are authorized to trigger the manual job to the **Allowed to Deploy** list. Only those in
- this list can trigger this manual job, as well as GitLab administrators
- who are always able to use protected environments.
-
-You can use protected environments with blocking manual jobs to have a list of users
-allowed to approve later pipeline stages. Add `allow_failure: false` to the protected
-manual job and the pipeline's next stages only run after the manual job is triggered
-by authorized users.
-
-#### `when:delayed`
-
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/51352) in GitLab 11.4.
-
-Use `when: delayed` to execute scripts after a waiting period, or if you want to avoid
-jobs immediately entering the `pending` state.
-
-You can set the period with `start_in` keyword. The value of `start_in` is an elapsed time in seconds, unless a unit is
-provided. `start_in` must be less than or equal to one week. Examples of valid values include:
-
-- `'5'`
-- `5 seconds`
-- `30 minutes`
-- `1 day`
-- `1 week`
-
-When a stage includes a delayed job, the pipeline doesn't progress until the delayed job finishes.
-You can use this keyword to insert delays between different stages.
-
-The timer of a delayed job starts immediately after the previous stage completes.
-Similar to other types of jobs, a delayed job's timer doesn't start unless the previous stage passes.
+1. Executes `cleanup_build_job` only when `build_job` fails.
+1. Always executes `cleanup_job` as the last step in pipeline regardless of
+ success or failure.
+1. Executes `deploy_job` when you run it manually in the GitLab UI.
-The following example creates a job named `timed rollout 10%` that is executed 30 minutes after the previous stage completes:
+**Additional details**:
-```yaml
-timed rollout 10%:
- stage: deploy
- script: echo 'Rolling out 10% ...'
- when: delayed
- start_in: 30 minutes

+## Use special characters with `script:`
+
+Sometimes, `script` commands must be wrapped in single or double quotes.
+For example, commands that contain a colon (`:`) must be wrapped in single quotes (`'`).
