Bug: Uploading gitlab artifacts "too large archive" error

This template is ONLY used for reporting bugs. New feature request or pipeline enhancement issues should use the other template options for issue submission.

Current Behavior

When attempting to upload several artifacts from the import-artifacts stage, which have a combined size over 13GB, we get the following error in the gitlab console ERROR: Uploading artifacts as "archive" to coordinator... too large archive ... responseStatus=413 Request Entity Too Large status=413. When the total combined artifact size is reduced to be less than 13GB, the artifacts are successfully uploaded to S3. After reducing the artifact size to 12.5 in the import-artifacts stage, it appears to successfully upload the build artifacts which contain a file that is 13.2GB.

Live Example

• ~13GB https://repo1.dso.mil/dsop/opensource/triton-inference-server/server/-/jobs/2298186
• ~12.5GB https://repo1.dso.mil/dsop/opensource/triton-inference-server/server/-/jobs/2298260

Expected Behavior

The pipeline should not fail to upload artifacts which have a combined total size that is larger than 13GB.

Possible Solution

Reaching out to gitlab for support on this issue.
