Congratulations on the launch! Does it have all the same set of pre-installed tools as the default GitHub Actions image? What are the main differences when using it instead of the default one

This is awesome! I was looking for something just like it the other day. What regions do you currently support?

@semanser - Thanks so much! I'm one of the founders of Blacksmith. Our runners use the default GitHub Actions runner image provided by GitHub, so it is a drop-in replacement and works like running it on GitHub runners.

Hey, Faster and cheaper GitHub Actions runners sound like a great solution for developers. How do you ensure the security and privacy of the code and data being processed through your runners? This is critical for many teams. Congrats on the launch!

@kyrylosilin Thank you! I'm one of the founders of Blacksmith. 1. We execute each GitHub Actions job in an isolated VM, and all the state is destroyed on completion. Under the hood, we use Firecracker to manage these ephemeral VMs, and Firecracker uses the Linux KVM, which provides strong isolation between VMs. 2. We don't have access to the running VM unless the VM itself opens a publicly accessible SSH server using something like https://github.com/mxschmitt/act.... 3. We don't store any data from your runs, and our GitHub app doesn't have access to any of your GitHub secrets. More info on this page https://docs.blacksmith.sh/secur....
