Hey HN! I'm Jacob, one of the founders of Depot (https://depot.dev), a build service for Docker images, and I'm excited to show what we’ve been working on for the past few months: run GitHub Actions jobs in AWS, orchestrated by Depot! Here's a video demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VX5Z-k1mGc8, and here’s our blog post: https://depot.dev/blog/depot-github-actions-runners. While GitHub Actions is one of the most prevalent CI providers, Actions is slow, for a few reasons: GitHub uses underpowered CPUs, network throughput for cache and the…

I've created a GitHub Action for running commands on multiple platforms. This includes platforms that GitHub Actions don't natively support. It currently supports FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD. OpenBSD can run on x86-64 and ARM64, the other operating systems run on x86-64. Some of the features that are supported include: * Multiple operating system with one single action * Multiple versions of each operating system * Allows to use default shell or Bash shell * Low boot overhead * Fast execution * Runs on both macOS and Linux runners Compared to similar solutions like…

I'm continuing to improve my RunsOn tool for launching self-hosted runners for GitHub Action on AWS, this time with support for any GPU-enabled instance type from EC2, and using the official Deep Learning AMIs as the runner image. Much cheaper than the official GitHub Actions runners, and accessible on any GitHub plan.

Greetings! I've created a GitHub action that works that allows GitHub Actions to exchange a GitHub token for AWS Access Credentials. I've cultivated a few examples of it in action: https://github.com/saml-to/aws-assume-role-action-examples I've always found management of AWS Credentials has been a pain. So this setting up this Action works like this: 1) A SAML Identity Provider is created in AWS 2) A Role in AWS is set up to trust that Identity Provider 3) A config file is added to the repository indicating which role can be assumed 4) The GitHub Action exchanges the Repo…

Hey HN, BuildJet makes GitHub Actions faster, by running the workflows on our Gaming CPU cloud. You still get to keep everything GitHub Actions, we simply replace the underlying GitHub Actions runner with our Gaming CPUs. All you do is change 1 line, and get 2x faster and cheaper builds. GitHub Action is very slow - Developers are wasting their time – Waiting for GitHub Actions to give you a green checkbox on PR, is very wasteful and extremely tedious. - GitHub Actions runner hardware is old and slow – GitHub Actions use old and slow machines from Azure. Some of your workflows run on servers…
