Hi Richard,
We should have capacity for private runners to execute several jobs in
parallel. Here [1] is an example of one that ran on a private runner today.
That is excellent news, thank you.
I have been thinking about suggesting a strategy to run jobs that lend
themselves to amd64 linux runners pinned to private runners that match,
so more "shared" minutes can be spent on runners that have different
capabilites.
Yes, I think that would be a good strategy.
Particularly it seems like a lot of people are trying to use qemu to
support amd64 linux on M1 macs, so it might make sense to have a private
mac silicon macOS runner.
Yes, we get a fair few bug reports for macos.
Also, since we have a hardware runner that can run with kvm capabilites,
it might make sense to carve some of those tests out for that tagged
runner.
Since this is relatively new, I think I was personally in an observational
period before seeking input on those goals, but let me know you thoughts.
Indeed.
