GitHub Actions Runners for IBM Power, Z, and LinuxONE: A New Milestone for Open Source

Today, we're excited to announce that GitHub Actions runners are now available for IBM Power, IBM Z, and IBM LinuxONE platforms. This development aims to simplify continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipelines for open-source projects.

Our Commitment to Open Source

At IBM, we're dedicated to supporting the open source communities. These GitHub Actions runners facilitate seamless cross-platform development, removing the need for managing multiple CI services tailored for various CPU architectures. Read our previous blog post here.

Collaborating with Open Source Projects

We've already started working with select open source projects and are eager to expand our involvement. We invite more projects to join us in leveraging these new capabilities by submitting a 'New Project' issue on our GitHub repository.

Streamlined Onboarding Process

To ensure a smooth transition, our team will review each project's requirements for personalized support during the onboarding process. Our objective is to help every participant make the most of this service efficiently. Read about our onboarding process on our repo.

We urge project maintainers and contributors to read Github’s official docs about best practices for workflow files.

Ongoing Enhancement and Feedback

We're committed to continuous improvement based on community feedback. As we advance, your input will be essential in shaping the future of GitHub Actions runners for IBM Power, Z, and LinuxONE. Feel free to submit an issue or PR to update our docs on our official repo.
