It seems like this directly ties back to Apple’s recent policy changes [0].
The details line up exactly, including:
- You must rent them for at least 24 hours at a time.
- You must rent out one machine per end user.
I just feel sorry for all the smaller providers who have done this for years.
I wonder if this was Apple’s update prompting AWS, or AWS pushing Apple to make the change — or both.

- oefrha 6y ago> Someone points out Circle let’s you ssh in, while afaik GHA and Pipelines don’t That's mostly a convenience feature, you can ssh into GH Actions' macOS instances through something like an ngrok tunnel, or run a terminal sharing tool within to basically do the same. See for instance https://github.com/fastai/fastmac https://github.com/fastai/fastmac. I doubt that's a key difference.
