GitHub Actions GitHub Actions is a powerful and flexible automation platform provided by GitHub. It allows developers to automate various tasks, directly within the GitHub repository, such as building testing deployment By default GitHub Actions runners (the machine where the above-mentioned tasks run) runs on GitHub’s Infrastructure, but you can run it on your infrastructure too. Cirun.io Cirun.io is a service to run GitHub Actions on your cloud (or on-prem), launched in March 2021: Introducing https://t.co/kNS0nBffkN 🚀 an easy way to create managed self-hosted Github Action runners (for CI/CD) in your cloud.

Fast and performant runners Cost efficient Custom Machines GPU Runners How? By changing one line in your GitHub Workflow (e.g. .github/workflows/&lt;workflow-name&gt;.yml) runs-on: "cirun-aws-t2-large-ubuntu2204" or alternatively, for advance configuration, by creating a .cirun.yml file in the root directory of your repository: # Self-Hosted Github Action Runners on AWS via Cirun.io # Reference: https://docs.cirun.io/reference/yaml runners: - name: "aws-runner" # Cloud Provider: AWS cloud: "aws" # Instance type on AWS instance_type: "t2.medium" # Ubuntu-20.4, ami image machine_image: "ami-06fd8a495a537da8b" preemptible: false # Add this label in the "runs-on" param in .github/workflows/&lt;workflow-name&gt;.yml # So that this runner is created for running the workflow labels: - "cirun-aws-runner" The above configuration will create a t2.medium EC2 instance on your AWS with AMI ID mentioned in the machine_image key, whenever a GitHub Actions job is created, which has runs-on: cirun-aws-runner .
