Selh-hosted runners can be ephemeral too. With such either mount the cache as a disk or bake docker layers/images into the runner image.

  This requires a lot of work from a dev inf team, though. Not as straightforward for an average team.

    I won't disagree. It should be easier imo. I guess this is why a cottage industry has sprung up addressing such e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39930908 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39930908

    runs-ons supports custom images - https://runs-on.com/features/byoi/ https://runs-on.com/features/byoi/ and caching to S3 - https://runs-on.com/reference/caching/ https://runs-on.com/reference/caching/ I haven't used it yet but these two features make it the clear favourite for me in alternate github action runners

    It's actually pretty easy. Setup GitHub app. Install the arc helm charts. Install a buildkitd statefulset. Update parans on build to use buildkitd. That's not to say there aren't better caching strategies, but a really basic ephemeral setup is right there.
