This product has charges associated with it for Github Actions self-hosted runner software, custom rc-local and cloud-init integration on Oracle Linux 9.7. Automatically grows filesystem for larger volume sizes at launch. Configured to read user-data for automatic Github runner registration via GH API, or can be registered without user-data via SSH command-line and registration token obtained from Github.com UI.
Overview
This is a repackaged open source, enterprise-class operating system software product wherein additional charges apply for: custom rc-local.service; custom initramfs to support auto-expanding root filesystem; standard cloud-init to read user-data; Github Actions self-hosted runner software integration; and TLC email technical support, all on Oracle Linux version 9.7. The AMI starts with one lean 14Gb volume that can automatically grow the Oracle Linux 9 root filesystem for much larger volume sizes via custom rc.local service, as cloud-init can't do that for lvm based root filesystems. Because it is the root filesystem, it can grow for system software as well as user software and big data, as needed. The AMI has the added feature of having pre-installed Github Actions software (over 1Gb unzipped) to instance based servers and gh-runner user added (in addition to the OS user, ec2-user), which saves teams considerable time and expense (via reduced disk I/O at launch) in adding and maintaining Github Actions self-hosted runners. Though configured with cloud-init to read user-data for automatic Github runner registration and deregistration via GH API (documentation available) at first boot, it can also be registered without user-data via SSH command-line with registration token (and instructions) obtained from Github.com UI. GH runner configuration can also be achieved via pre-installed SSM agent, which is capable of supporting SSM's Session Manager (SM), though additional policy and instance profile (not provided) is needed for SSM-SM access. When used with the free public domain TLC terraform for automatic runner deployments via GH Webhook and AWS Lambda (documentation also available), the webhook allows GitHub users to dynamically provision and register (or reregister) instance based self-hosted runners (not containerized runners) for their workloads. Updates to the terraform plan often replaces the need to constantly update the AMI itself. The terraform plan creates the lambda function that allows setting a maximum number of self-hosted instances, which repo gets a webhook, size of the root volume, as well as creates instance user-data that enables dynamic self-hosted runner registration. Dynamic provisioning via webhook and lambda helps to avoid expensive and overly complicated containerized Kubernetes clusters and clunky auto-scaling groups to achieve the same. Unlike Github's hosted runners, these self-hosted runners are not ephemeral, allowing users opportunity to save custom added programs, libraries and data (via EBS snapshots) before they are terminated. Run only as spot instances, they often 'become' ephemeral as spot instances themselves are ephemeral and spawning new spot runners with the same name is gracefully handled by (the terraform instance userdata provisioned) Github APIs. TLC's terraform plan also creates policy and profile to support SSM-SM at launch without additional manual configuration.
Highlights
- Technology Leadership's Github Actions runner features Oracle 9.7 and Github Actions runner software and user pre-installed. It is a lean and fast machine that is a 'shell' executor that can handle BASH or PYTHON tasks out-of-the-box, but can accommodate most (Linux compatible) programming languages like Java, NodeJS, Go, PHP, etc, which can be installed via your github actions workflows, as needed.
- The server can be registered as a runner with standard 'manual' instructions obtained from the github.com UI, skipping the (time-consuming) need to install software or add a gh-runner user. Tokens and configuration can be added via user-data, as well. Best of all, it is designed to be used with TLC terraform which creates a GH webhook and AWS Lambda function that will utilize this AMI for fully automated and dynamic runner provisioning based on a repository 'push', 'merge', etc.
- Works in all regions, only 1 penny per hour for ANY SIZE instance, no backdoors or 'bug' data sending, hourly or monthly payment options available.
