For some reason (probably transparency), rather than using specialized docker images the GitLab auto-devops scripts install needed packages into a generic container. This really slows down the CI pipelines and is super painful
At least the ones where the generic container is Ubuntu/Debian based. `apt update && apt install -y` is really slow. But alpine based containers with the equivalent `apk install` are blazing fast.
