Deploying GitHub Self-Hosted Runners on Kubernetes with ARC

Explore the deployment of GitHub self-hosted runners on Kubernetes using Actions Runner Controller (ARC) in this 15-minute conference talk from PlatformCon 2024. Discover why and how to utilize ARC runners as a solution to the limitations of GitHub-hosted runners. Learn about the fundamentals of GitHub Actions and the advantages of self-hosted runners, including enhanced control over CI/CD environments, scalability, and cost-efficiency. Dive into the installation and configuration of ARC, an open-source project that leverages Kubernetes features like auto-scaling, high availability, and self-healing to dynamically manage runner pods based on workload. Gain a comprehensive understanding of how to enhance CI/CD pipelines by combining GitHub Actions with Kubernetes, making development workflows more scalable, efficient, and cost-effective. Ideal for developers, DevOps professionals, and anyone interested in improving their CI/CD processes.
