#### Runner runs only tagged jobs
The following examples illustrate the potential impact of the Runner being set
to run only tagged jobs.
Example 1:

1. A job that has a `hello` tag is executed and stuck.
Example 2:
1. The Runner is configured to run only tagged jobs and has the `docker` tag.
1. A job that has a `docker` tag is executed and run.
Example 3:
1. The Runner is configured to run only tagged jobs and has the `docker` tag.
1. A job that has no tags defined is executed and stuck.
#### Runner is allowed to run untagged jobs
The following examples illustrate the potential impact of the Runner being set
to run tagged and untagged jobs.
Example 1:
1. The Runner is configured to run untagged jobs and has the `docker` tag.
1. A job that has no tags defined is executed and run.
1. A second job that has a `docker` tag defined is executed and run.
Example 2:
1. The Runner is configured to run untagged jobs and has no tags defined.
1. A job that has no tags defined is executed and run.
