Self-hosted GitHub Actions runners in AWS CodeBuild
You can configure your project to set up self-hosted GitHub Actions runners in CodeBuild
containers to process your GitHub Actions workflow jobs. This can be done by setting up a
webhook using your CodeBuild project, and updating your GitHub Actions workflow YAML to use
self-hosted runners hosted on CodeBuild machines. For more information, see About self-hosted runners
The high-level steps to configure a CodeBuild project to run GitHub Actions jobs are as follows:
-
If you haven't done so already, create a personal access token or connect with an OAuth app to connect your project to GitHub.
-
Navigate to the CodeBuild console and create a CodeBuild project with a webhook and set up your webhook filters.
-
Update your GitHub Actions workflow YAML in GitHub to configure your build environment.
For a more detailed procedure, see Tutorial: Configure a CodeBuild-hosted GitHub Actions runner.
This feature allows your GitHub Actions workflow jobs to get native integration with AWS, which provides security and convenience through features like IAM, AWS Secrets Manager integration, AWS CloudTrail, and Amazon VPC. You can access latest instance types, including ARM-based instances.
