The [`runner-registration-token`](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/install/operator.html#install-the-kubernetes-operator) parameter that uses the OpenShift and Kubernetes Vanilla Operator to install a runner on Kubernetes is deprecated. Authentication tokens will be used to register runners instead. Registration tokens, and support for certain configuration arguments, will be disabled behind a feature flag in GitLab 16.6 and removed in GitLab 17.0. The configuration arguments disabled for authentication tokens are: - `--locked` - `--access-level` - `--run-untagged` - `--tag-list` This change is a breaking change. You should use an [authentication token](../ci/runners/register_runner.md) in the `gitlab-runner register` command instead. end_of_support_milestone: "17.0" # (optional) Use "XX.YY" format.
