Traditionally, accessing private resources with GitHub Actions required the setup and management of self-hosted runners. Now, with new features available for GitHub's Teams and Enterprise plans, you have the capability to configure GitHub-hosted runners to connect directly to your Azure virtual networks. This enables direct network access from the hosted runner to private resources, whether they're hosted on Azure, or connected through hybrid networks from your Azure VNET to other cloud environments, or even on-premises environments! Let's take a look at how to set this up and walk through the end-to-end configuration! // SUBSCRIBE ✅ http://www.youtube.com/mattallford?sub_confirmation=1 // RESOURCES & REFERENCES 📃 GitHub Repository: 🔗https://github.com/mattallford/github-hosted-runner-azure-networking About Azure private networking for GitHub-hosted runners in your organization: 🔗https://docs.github.com/en/organizations/managing-organization-settings/about-azure-private-networking-for-github-hosted-runners-in-your-organization Configuring private networking for GitHub-hosted runners in your organization: 🔗https://docs.github.com/en/organizations/managing-organization-settings/configuring-private-networking-for-github-hosted-runners-in-your-organization About Ubuntu and Windows Larger Runners: 🔗https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/actions/using-github-hosted-runners/about-larger-runners/about-larger-runners#about-ubuntu-and-windows-larger-runners // FOLLOW ME 👉 Blog - https://mattallford.com LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattallford/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/mattallford GitHub - https://github.com/mattallford // CHAPTERS 🕛 0:00 Introduction 0:56 What Problem is Being Solved? 2:51 Example GitHub Workflow 6:05 The Demo Environment 6:46 What Did We Do Before? 10:45 GitHub Runner VNET Integration 13:14 Reviewing the GitHub Documentation 18:23 GitHub Enterprise Configuration 20:00 High Level Configuration Workflow 22:00 IaC for My Demo Environment 24:43 Prerequisites 26:59 Be Aware of the Deny Outbound NSG Rule! 29:35 Obtaining the GitHub Database ID 33:10 Configure Azure Resources 40:18 GitHub Networking Configuration 42:08 GitHub Runner Groups 43:49 Create a New Hosted Runner 45:45 GitHub Runner Billing and Spending Limit 48:28 Update and Test The Workflow 51:46 Troubleshooting Time - I Made a Mistake! 54:55 Test The Workflow - Take 2 57:06 Summary 59:02: A Final Thought About Managing Cost
