running image builds

currently we only offer ephemeral containers but they should have enough resources for image build. At this time we do not have VM's available but are planning on offering different virt options this summer (if the image builds were related to VMs).

Also considering there is not a repo attached to this request, do you have a rough idea of how often you would be executing workflows? Our resources are limited since we do provide this service at no-charge.

Take a look at the onboarding doc and the FAQ page (in the same docs dir) for more info: https://github.com/IBM/actionspz/blob/main/docs/onboarding.md

@mjturek You might want to only build these with power10.

[mjturek]

@prb112 good point, but the only label is p9. @mtarsel if you need me to specify p10 somewhere, let me know.

You can view a list of our available images here: https://github.com/IBM/actionspz/blob/main/docs/supported-images.txt

Please install the GitHub App from the following link and select your repository:
🔗 Power Z GHA Runner App

For more details on the onboarding process, please refer to our documentation:
📄 Onboarding Guide

Please let me know in this issue once you have installed the github app on your repo. For security reasons, I will double check it is the correct repo and then approve the repo to use our images. You will not be able to use our images until I approve the repo.

After the repo has been approved, you will be able to use the ppc64le image's in the workflow file and all good to go :) The onboarding doc linked above will be helpful.

Please note: forks will not be able to use this service since those repos will not be in our allow list.

If there is any questions or concerns, we can discuss those here.

[mjturek]

I checked and p9 will be sufficient!

[mjturek]

The app has been installed and we have configured our settings as shown in the onboarding guide

[mtarsel]

great! all the repos in the org were approved so you can now use our images in your workflow files. I'll keep this issue open a little while longer if there is any issues with onboarding. Thanks! :)
