what is the best option to provision the self-hosted Github Actions runners on AWS?
I’m looking into https://github.com/philips-labs/terraform-aws-github-runner Any opinion/experience on that ?
I have it bookmarked as the thing I’m going to try when I start needing to use self-hosted runners, but I haven’t tried it
We’re using https://github.com/summerwind/actions-runner-controller for kubernetes
@Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) Sorry for reviving this thread but are you still using https://github.com/actions-runner-controller/actions-runner-controller in Cloud Posse? What’s your opinion about this project (reliability & security wise) now? Thank you in advance! :)

Hi all, I am trying to get a gist of some of the limitations to keep in mind when considering GH actions. I would appreciate any feedback necessary.
approval workflow only available in enterprise or for open source repos
one github action step cannot run the docker image built in the previous step
cannot import workflows (leads to a lot of tech debt if you have a lot of repos)
triggering upstream / downstream pipelines requires a “special token” - or one needs to create a github app and exchange it for a token

Can I run some job only from ui as it works on gitlab ci?
