   I love how even self hosted workers don't work during these outages - running jobs on their infrastructure being flakey is marginally acceptable, but the API to simply schedule workflows having this availability is mind boggling. Github just doesn't seem like a serious company anymore.

      GitHub implements self hosted runners by running a normal runner that passes the environment to your runner and then polls it. That's why they cost as much as the smallest GitHub-hosted runner.

      This is no surprise given standard Microsoft operating procedure - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=47616242">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=47616242

         Oh that is pretty gross, thanks for sharing. I was not aware of that process, that explains the cost they attempted to roll out for runners too a few months back.
