• Kubernetes hosted runners for Github Actions with ARC
  1 project | dev.to | 7 Feb 2025

  GitHub Actions has become an integral part of modern CI/CD pipelines by allowing automation directly within your repository. With self-hosted runners, you can leverage your own infrastructure for enhanced control over execution environments. This guide will walk you through setting up GitHub Runners on a Kubernetes cluster using the latest version of Actions Runner Controller, which manages and scales these runners as native Kubernetes resources.

• Show HN: DimeRun v2 – Run GitHub Actions on AWS EC2
  2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 22 Feb 2024

  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?
  1 project | /r/aws | 24 Jun 2023

  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.

• GitHub support for Actions Runner Controller (ARC) emerging in docs!

• How much work does it take to operate a self-hosted GitHub runners?
  1 project | /r/devops | 30 Mar 2023

  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.
