Deploying GitHub Action runners can be challenging, especially in on-premise environments where scalability and resource utilization are critical. Traditionally, runners can be deployed directly on bare metal or virtual machines, or within a Kubernetes cluster. However, bare metal and virtual machines often struggle with scalability, and Kubernetes requires access tokens that may not be granted in enterprise environments. Additionally, Kubernetes scenarios can be complex to handle.

This talk presents a novel solution that bridges the gap: utilizing Docker Compose to deploy GitHub Action runners. This approach offers the best of both worlds, enabling efficient scaling and resource utilization while maintaining simplicity. By leveraging Docker Compose, teams can use their existing machines without the need for complex Kubernetes setups. Attendees will learn how this method simplifies the deployment process, making it easier to manage and scale GitHub Action runners in various environments.

Join this session to discover how Docker Compose can transform your GitHub Actions deployment strategy, providing a practical and scalable solution that meets the needs of modern development teams.
