 # ⚠️This is a fork of Docker Machine ⚠
 
-This is a fork of Docker Machine maintained by GitLab for [fixing critical bugs](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/docker_machine.html#forked-version-of-docker-machine). Docker Machine, which Docker has deprecated as of 2021-09-27, is the basis of the GitLab Runner Docker Machine Executor. Our plan, as discussed [here](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/341856), is to continue to maintain the fork in the near term, with a primary focus on driver maintenance for Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure.

-For a new merge request to be considered, the following questions must be answered: 
+We will maintain the fork and provide support through the end of the calendar year 2024.

+The replacement [autoscaling solution](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/runner_autoscale/) is now available as an experiment. The plan is to transition to beta and GA in the second half of the calendar year 2023.

+We do not plan to add new features to the Docker Machine fork.  The intent is only to address critical bugs that can prevent CI job execution or affect running costs. For a new merge request to be considered, the following questions must be answered: 
 
   * What critical bug this MR is fixing?
   * How does this change help reduce cost of usage? What scale of cost reduction is it?
