| hey gregman11, sorry I didn't your first part about the chat server > And what is this? This is an expensive security breach. Great question,
From the data perspective, we don't store any kind of information, the logs are retained by GitHub, for each run we issue a registration token and use it for spinning up the runner and it is gone. When the job is finished the VM and the filesystem get deleted, and if your security needs prohibit you from using a SaaS you can use Open Fire in your own infrastructure.
We're working on our process of getting the SOC-2 > How can it be cheaper to have a runner elsewhere? And how hard is to self host a runner? like any engineering problem, self-hosted solutions come with tradeoffs and at the end of the day all depends if the benefits will overcome the effort that you need to put to build, operate and run your solution, in the post, I made a not exhaustive list of thing that you need to do in the self-hosted case if you can pay that price and still get benefits then that is the way to go in your use case, as always the question is the same, why use Dropbox if I can build it myself? Yes, you can build it but is it worth it? or just pay 5 bucks and use it. Thanks for your questions, I hope you have some more |
