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.

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.
