feat: add option ephemeral runners (#1374)
* add option ephemeral runners * fix tests * Add retry mechanisme for scaling errors * Add retry mechanisme for scaling errors Add retry mechanisme for scaling errors Add retry mechanisme for scaling errors Add retry mechanisme for scaling errors * Add tests for lamda handler * Add basic test for ephemeral case * Add basic test for scale down in lambda wrapper * Ensure check_runs are ignored for ephemeral runners * limit termination to only the instance itself * fix: add logging context to runner lambda (#1399) * fix(logging): Add context to scale logs Signed-off-by: Nathaniel McAuliffe <[email protected]> * Remove testing Signed-off-by: Nathaniel McAuliffe <[email protected]> * Remove unnecessary import Signed-off-by: Nathaniel McAuliffe <[email protected]> * Moving log fields to end, adjusting format * feat: Add hooks for prebuilt images (AMI), including amazon linux packer example (#1444) * Initial creation of runner image * Refactored startup script and added it to the per-boot folder * Make the runner location a variable So we can pass the runner version in at packer build time if we want to update the runner version. * Retrieve external config setting via tags Retrieve the required config via the instance tags so we dont have to pass in and set environment on the instance in an awkward way. * Enable tag based config Give the instance the permission to query its own tags and set the correct tags on the instance. * Add a CI job * Fix the CI build * Fix the formatting * Retain user_data provisioning and remove duplication refactored to make sure user_data continues to work with minimal breaking changes. Use a single set of scripts shared between image and user_data provisioning. * Fix interpolation issues in template file * fix build * Fix formatting * minor tweaks and fixes * Fixes from testing * Enable docker on boot * Add in output of start time for the runner * Scoop up the runner log * Add a powershell build script for windows users * Fix formatting * Use SSM parameters for configuration Its best practice to use SSM parameters for configuration of the runners. In adding this i have also added parameter path based config so its easy to extend in the future. * Make the SSM policy more specific * Update .github/workflows/packer-build.yml Co-authored-by: Niek Palm <[email protected]> * Added condition to the describe tags policy * Dont use templatefile on the tags policy Because of the use of ${} in the policy terraform is trying to replace it. * Added an option to turn off userdata scripting * Added/updated documentation * Revert policy as it has no effect on the permissions * Add reference to prebuilt images in the main readme * Add an example of deploying with prebuilt images * Update readme * Use current user as ami_owner * Update example to 5 secs * Updated ami name to include the arch * Fixed log file variable * Added explicit info about required settings to the readme * Change userdata_enabled to enabled_userdata Keep within existing naming convention Co-authored-by: Niek Palm <[email protected]> * add option ephemeral runners * Add retry mechanisme for scaling errors Add retry mechanisme for scaling errors Add retry mechanisme for scaling errors Add retry mechanisme for scaling errors * add dead letter queue, and refactor * cleanup * cleanup * sync develop * review fix Co-authored-by: Scott Guymer <[email protected]> * review fix Co-authored-by: Scott Guymer <[email protected]> * review vfix Co-authored-by: Scott Guymer <[email protected]> * review vfix Co-authored-by: Scott Guymer <[email protected]> * fix review * process review comments * process review comments * review comment * process review comments * Update examples/ephemeral/README.md Co-authored-by: Nathaniel McAuliffe <[email protected]> * Process review comments * Add docs * review comments * update docs Co-authored-by: Scott Guymer <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Nathaniel McAuliffe <[email protected]>

# Action runners deployment ephemeral example
2+
3+
This example is based on the default setup, but shows how runners can be used with the ephemeral flag enabled. Once enabled, ephemeral runners will be used for one job only. Each job requires a fresh instance. This feature should be used in combination with the `workflow_job` event. See GitHub webhook endpoint configuration(link needed here). It is also suggested to use a pre-build AMI to minimize runner launch times.
4+
## Usages
5+
6+
Steps for the full setup, such as creating a GitHub app can be found in the root module's [README](../../README.md). First download the Lambda releases from GitHub. Alternatively you can build the lambdas locally with Node or Docker, there is a simple build script in `<root>/.ci/build.sh`. In the `main.tf` you can simply remove the location of the lambda zip files, the default location will work in this case.
7+
8+
> Ensure you have set the version in `lambdas-download/main.tf` for running the example. The version needs to be set to a GitHub release version, see https://github.com/philips-labs/terraform-aws-github-runner/releases
9+
10+
```bash
11+
cd lambdas-download
12+
terraform init
13+
terraform apply
14+
cd ..
15+
```
16+
17+
Before running Terraform, ensure the GitHub app is configured. See the [configuration details](../../README.md#usages) for more details.
18+
19+
```bash
20+
terraform init
21+
terraform apply
22+
```
23+
24+
You can receive the webhook details by running:
25+
26+
```bash
27+
terraform output -raw webhook_secret
28+
```
29+
30+
Be-aware some shells will print some end of line character `%`.
