@Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) Thanks for mentioning RunsOn again 😉 Regarding the license check possibly breaking the install: this is a soft check. Even if the licensing server goes down, the RunsOn install continues to work. Same for the telemetry ping. And to answer a question you had during the session: definitely not a SaaS, no centrally managed component or interface on my side except the license and telemetry endpoints.

Also regarding the page about RunsOn you were not able to find in the CloudPosse documentation: you mention it at the bottom of https://docs.cloudposse.com/layers/github-actions/design-decisions/decide-on-self-hosted-runner-architecture/#option-5-managed-runners (option 5), but agree with you that it would be great to have a dedicated page in https://docs.cloudposse.com/layers/github-actions/ 😇
