Securely Scale CI/CD with Self-Hosted GitHub Runners on AWS

Utilizing self-hosted GitHub runners on AWS addresses limitations with GitHub’s hosted runners by providing greater control over computing resources, environment customization, security, and integration with internal tools. This setup involves deploying an EC2 instance as a public-facing web server and a private instance as a self-hosted GitHub runner to improve the efficiency, security, and customization of CI/CD workflows. Key steps include configuring Docker, SSH key generation, setting up AWS CLI, and creating CI/CD workflows in GitHub Actions.
