AWS instance

Run GitHub Actions on AWS c7g.4xlarge

AWS c7g.4xlarge — 16 vCPU, 32 GiB RAM, ARM64. Cirun spins one up per workflow on your AWS account and tears it down when the job finishes — you pay AWS for the compute, nothing per CI minute.

Why this fits

  • 16 vCPU and 32 GiB RAM — sized for workloads the default GitHub-hosted runners can't comfortably host, all on your own AWS account.
  • Native ARM64 CI for multi-arch container images and Apple-silicon-adjacent builds.
  • Ephemeral by default — each job gets a clean VM, no leaked state from previous PRs.

Drop this in your repo root. The first workflow that requests the runner label spins this configuration up on your cloud account.
