GitHub Actions Limitations and Gotchas
Sorry, it was with `only:changes` and `needs`. Take a look at this issue[0] and this pipeline[1]. I've failed to find the failure mode in the documentation, so I suppose it may have been fixed since then - but we've developed an in-house workaround in the meantime that I'd trust a lot more than anything coming out from Gitlab.
--------
> A monorepo isn't "all but the most simple use-cases", it's usually a fairly complex usecase, and Gitlab have a myriad of ways to make monorepo CI easier - dynamic pipelines, remote triggers, includes, etc.
And every single feature you've mentioned here has a bug when combined with something else. That's the problem with Gitlab CI: everything works in isolation, but nothing composes properly.
Take includes: they don't work with anchors, so you couldn't have a generic template rules in the "main" file getting reused in the included files. This makes sense though! Anchors are a yaml feature. So gitlab added their own pseudo-anchors, called `extends`. You'd assume a smart, context-aware merge to happen, but no! Gitlab decided to go with a dumb object merge. Because the `script` step is a list of string, if both the parent and the child specify a `script`, only the child's will be used! Gitlab has a `before_script` step which can be used to workaround the issue for single levels of inheritance, but anything more complex ends up in a dead end. This feels like a feature that's been bolted on without any sort of design work.

Using Kaniko to Build and Publish container image with Github action on Github Self-hosted Runners
To set-up the self-hosted runner, an Action Runner Controller (ARC) and Runner scale sets application will be installed via helm. This post will be using Azure Kubernetes Service and ARC that is officialy maintained by Github. There is another ARC that is maintained by the community. You can follow the discussion where github adopted the ARC project into a full Github product here

Show HN: DimeRun v2 – Run GitHub Actions on AWS EC2
Before this we were using https://github.com/actions/actions-runner-controller but that's running on K8s instead of VMs. So along with common limitations of running CI jos in K8s/container, it cannot have exactly the same environment as the official GitHub runners. Maintaining a K8s cluster was also very difficult.

Best CI/CD for AWS services?
Almost all of our cicd, builds run on GitHub. I'm talking cypress tests, deployments via terraform and helm to over 25 environments, all backend tests, daily test runs etc. Overall we were racking up a cost of almost 20k on GitHub. With the ARC deployed and using spot instances I think our total infrastructure costs went up about 4-5k even though we added more actions. If we switched back to their runners we'd probably be around 25k at this point.

Running helm from within network
What else needs to be moved to my artifactory (charts - https://github.com/actions/actions-runner-controller/tree/master/charts ) - if so tar or entire folder or anything else ? ) What should the above steps correspond to?

Action-runner-controller & Enterprise Git
You need to use the steps in the repo instead of the steps on the docs if you're using enterprise server.

GitHub support for Actions Runner Controller (ARC) emerging in docs!
Honestly not a fan of Github docs.....I feel like the ones in the repo are much clearer and easier to understand/read.

How much work does it take to operate a self-hosted GitHub runners?
Its pretty easy to set up honestly. Deploy this on your k8s cluster https://github.com/actions/actions-runner-controller and a runnerDeployment and youre good to go.

Self-Hosted runner on Kubernetes
Trying to use the Actions Runner Controller (https://github.com/actions/actions-runner-controller) to utilize self-hosted runners. I keep getting this error on the controller.

AKS cluster w/ GitHub App and Actions Runner Controller
I'm convinced one of (or a combination) of things is happening here in regards to authentication. This GH enterprise account is configured with SAML. I feel like that is a valid data point. I'm using https://github.com/actions/actions-runner-controller as a reference guide for what I should be doing. I suspect whoever is Owner of this organization has modified what I can do as a user. The steps in the doc where I can actually Install the Application isn't available to me. When configuring the GitHub App I'm given two options. I select the option for "this account only" knowing the documentation says it is possible to use this Github App with a repo in the Organization as long as I have Admin privileges or I'm the owner.
