Dimensions summary
You pay based on usage, measured per build minute. This means you are billed for the time your GitHub Actions jobs actually run on the self-hosted runners. There are no tiers or fixed quantities to select. Charges scale directly with how many build minutes you consume. The software runs in your own AWS account, launching an EC2 instance for each job and terminating it after the job completes. Your build-minute usage determines your total cost, so it rises and falls with your workload.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
A build minute is one minute your GitHub Actions job runs on a self-hosted runner. When a job waits for a runner, an EC2 instance launches, registers as an ephemeral runner, and runs the job. You are metered for the minutes that job runs before the instance terminates.
Charges accrue only while a job runs on a runner. Each EC2 instance launches when a job starts and terminates after the job completes. When no jobs run, no instances stay active, so no build minutes are metered. Charges rise and fall with your job activity.
No. The software runs entirely in your own AWS account. The per build minute charge covers the software licence only. The EC2 instances, API gateway, Lambda functions, and other AWS resources launched by the CloudFormation template are billed separately by AWS at their own rates.

Dedicated VPC with public subnets (recommended)
Recommended option in case you do not have any specific network requirements. Deploy HyperEnv for GitHub Actions into a dedicated VPC where runners will launch in public subnets. The whole networking setup is managed by HyperEnv for GitHub Actions through AWS CloudFormation.
HyperEnv for GitHub Actions Runner creates the following IAM roles and policies.
RunnerRole HyperEnv attaches this role to EC2 instances launched to run GitHub jobs. Grants access to CloudWatch, SSM, and ECR.
WebhookRole / WebhookPolicy IAM role used by the Lambda function which recieves webhook events from GitHub. Grants access to CloudWatch, SQS, and Secrets Manager.
ConsumerRole / ConsumerPolicy IAM role used by the Lambda function which processes webhook events from SQS and launches EC2 instances. Grants access to CloudWatch, EC2, SQS, .
GitHubOrgWebhookRole / GitHubOrgWebhookPolicy IAM role used by Lambda function implementing a custom-resource which creates, updates, and deletes GitHub webhooks. Grants access to CloudWatch, and Secrets Manager.
CloudFormation Template (CFT)
AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."

Solution improves CI with easy implementation and splendid customer support
Reviewed on Sep 04, 2025
Review from a verified AWS customer
What is our primary use case?
I use the solution to improve my CI.
How has it helped my organization?
It was that simple to implement, and the customer support was splendid.
What is most valuable?
It is easy to install and really straightforward.
What needs improvement?
So far, there is nothing important to note, but maybe a runner for private repositories outside of an organization could be added.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for 1 year.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I just went with the flow, and most of the cost is related to optimization in the CI/CD pipeline.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I tested a few solutions, but none were as easy to use.
What other advice do I have?
Thank you very much for the help and for the good communication.
