Ask HN: Any CI/CD SaaS Solutions for ARM?

Are there any services similar to GitHub Actions that support GitHub Actions Marketplace and also have arm64 and arm32 runners?

View on HN

At Ubicloud, we have ARM64 runners. They are compatible with Github Runners. It is just one line change in your workflow file. It is also 6x more cost effective than Github Runners (btw. our x64 runners are 10x more cost effective)

More informative can be found here https://www.ubicloud.com/use-cases/github-actions

and here https://www.ubicloud.com/docs/github-actions-integration/qui...

That seems promising, I only require arm runner currently. Ubicloud has GitHub Runners on AWS right?

Our runners are running on our own infrastructure. We get bare metal instances from providers like Hetzner or Leaseweb and virtualize them. Your runners run on the ephemeral VMs on those bare metal instances.

Is being on AWS a requirement for you? Is it because of caching? We also have our own runner cache. You can find more information from here https://www.ubicloud.com/docs/github-actions-integration/ubi...

If you have more questions, please let me know or alternatively you can send us a mail from support@ubicloud.com

That's even better.

Arm64 on GitHub Actions: Powering faster, more efficient build systems https://github.blog/2024-06-03-arm64-on-github-actions-power...

Yeah, unfortunately there are only large runners avilable for arm64. I have medium to low workload for building. Additionally, they are only available on paid plans.

Must be installed in your AWS account (1-click cloudformation template), and then you can use any instance type offered by AWS.

Sure, I will check it out.

Check out what we're building at WarpBuild.

We provide fast compute for various architectures and OSes.

Yeah, checked you out too, yours seems like the only feasible alternative.

What stack have you built WarpBuild on? Is it Azure or AWS?

It's AWS mostly though we do have multi cloud presence that we're expanding in the next couple of months

Cause, I recently encountered problem with Azure's Network in Virginia and Arizona so I would prefer any other stack. Spent hours debugging only to be known that it's beyond my control. :)

We faced that as well and that's one of the reasons for the diversification across clouds
