GitHub Actions and AWS CodeBuild - The Ultimate Guide for Container Nerds Switching between GitHub-managed runners and AWS CodeBuild sounds easy — and it mostly is — but there are important caveats to consider.

just published a blog post:
"GitHub Actions + AWS CodeBuild – the ultimate guide for container nerds"

includes:
– how runs-on works behind the scenes
– ways to accidentally spin up a 72xlarge instance 😬
– the joys of debugging $HOME in a container

AWS Builder Center Start here. Go anywhere. Welcome to AWS Builder Center, the go-to site for builders to learn, grow, and connect with the AWS community.

I just saw that I have a new profile page on the builders center.

I will need to clean this up a bit when I find time…

Only launch your new product or DevTool if it raises the bar compared to competitors. Not when your bonus plan tells you.

Someone out there is facing the same challenges you are.
They’re looking for your story.
Your voice.
Your perspective.

So share it.
Put yourself out there.
Be seen.

Personal branding feels uncomfortable.
Do it anyway.

Because your experience might be exactly what someone else needs to hear.

Are you using the Netatmo API or weather station?

I am now able to display my data on an ePaper!

We also discovered a few things that are still weird, e.g. the review functionality only triggers if the GitHub user has installed the #AmazonQ GitHub app...
...and it's not able to work on GitHub #Actions workflows yet...

Looking forward to see what's coming next!
