Terraform module for autoscaled GitHub Actions build runners (github.com)

In the interests of Do Not Lurk, here's what I'm planning to play with this week. Looks like a much cheaper way of getting access to larger runner instances, and means I can preinstall a bunch of tools to make builds faster.

Excellent module, gonna try this out! Having gone through it for about 20 minutes, everything is well thought-out and properly done. Nice to find such excellent content in /c/aws Consider cross posting on /c/terraform too?

edit: oof, how to you refer to another sub? On Reddit simply mentioning /r/subname is enough, but not here? It doesn't pick up Lemmy links and shorten them to the sub name either :( I just used the link tool but that type of stuff should be automatic

It's really good! It does all the things I'd build for myself if I had a few months spare. Only quibble I have is that it can take a while for instances to scale up. I've done a bunch of optimisation on builds so now I get run times under 2 minutes, but wait times around 5 minutes.

I've set up idle runners so we keep a couple of instances warm during work hours, but it's still annoying.
