GCP

Runs each runner on a fresh Compute Engine instance, spread across the zones you list.

Requirements

  • An image with the Actions runner; see Building an image.
  • An identity for Rungar with roles/compute.instanceAdmin.v1 on the project, and roles/iam.serviceAccountUser on the account the instances run as, if any. On GKE, it can be the Helm chart’s service account, by Workload Identity: see On GKE.

Configuration 

providers:
  - name: gcp
    type: gcp
    project: my-ci-123456
    zones: [europe-west1-b, europe-west1-c]
    runner:
      image: projects/my-ci-123456/global/images/family/actions-runner
      machine_type: e2-standard-4

Every key is under Configuration.

Notes

  • A job can use its instance’s service account. Leave service_account unset, or give runners an account of their own.
  • Anyone who can view the project’s instances can read a registration before it is used. Keep runners in a project of their own.
  • The default network allows SSH from anywhere. Use a network of the runners’ own.
  • Scale set names must start with a letter, and be lower case letters, digits and hyphens. A runner’s name, its instance’s, is at most 63 characters: a scale set name longer than 54 is cut short in it.
