AWS Codebuild Github Runner Demo

.github/workflow/ location for jobs.

• Requires Codestar Connection (hides under Settings->Connection in CodeBuild)
  • Remember if you provision this with IaC it still has to be manually "connected" to Github.
• Requires Authorized Connection in Connection (developer tools)
  • Will go from PENDING, to AVAILABLE once connected. I used "Install App"
• Requires Established CodeBuild Runner for Github
  • Can provision this with IaC, requires your ARN from CodeStar Connection
• Requires you get your permissions right on CodeBuild for whatever this does in AWS
  • Policies to start/stop codebuild, access resources in AWS, least privileges.
• Requires github action job for runs-on:
• Split your self-hosted codebuild github runner (AWS) with your managed github action runner (Azure).

name: Hello World
on: [push]
jobs:
  Hello-World-Job:
    runs-on:
      - codebuild-<your runner name>-${{ github.run_id }}-${{ github.run_attempt }}
    steps:
      - run: echo "Hello World"
