Runner Group Management

About

This skill provides domain-specific guidance for architecting GitHub Actions runner groups based on trust levels, workload requirements, and compliance needs. It helps DevOps engineers and security teams move away from vulnerable 'all-access' runner configurations toward a secure-by-default model, ensuring that sensitive production environments and high-cost resources are strictly isolated. By applying techniques for environment protection and network segmentation, users can significantly reduce the blast radius of potential repository compromises while optimizing resource allocation.

Key Features

• Risk mitigation patterns to prevent unauthorized lateral movement
• Workload isolation strategies for high-resource tasks like GPU and heavy builds
• Compliance-specific configurations for PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and FedRAMP
• Environment-based controls using protection rules and manual approvals
• Trust-level organization for public, internal, and private repositories
• 0 GitHub stars

Use Cases

• Segregating production deployment runners from development and testing environments
• Implementing regulatory-compliant runner groups with enhanced audit logging and network isolation
• Isolating high-cost GPU resources to prevent unauthorized usage in general CI/CD
