WarpBuild is excited to announce the launch of our new spot instance runners for GitHub Actions, offering a significant cost advantage to developers. These spot instances are 62.5% cheaper than regular GitHub actions runner instances and 25% less expensive than our standard WarpBuild runners. This makes them an ideal choice for budget-conscious teams and individuals who need flexible, powerful CI/CD solutions without a hefty price tag.
Key Features of WarpBuild Spot Instances
Cost-Effective: Enjoy substantial savings with spot instances that cost significantly less compared to standard runners.
Usage: Runners are named using the format warp-<os>-<version>-<arch>-<cpu>x-spot, making them easy to identify and integrate into your workflows.
Seamless Configuration: Setting up a spot instance follows the same straightforward process as our standard instances, ensuring a smooth transition and no learning curve. These are 100% compatible with GitHub hosted runners.
Optimized for Non-Critical Tasks: These instances are perfect for short, interruptible tasks. They're not recommended for critical deployments that can’t afford interruptions, such as prod application updates, tofu apply etc.
