Actions Runner Controller (ARC) is a tool that helps you automatically manage and scale self-hosted GitHub Actions runners using Kubernetes. It creates runner scale sets that grow or shrink based on how many workflows you are running, making your CI/CD process more efficient and cost-effective. ARC uses containers for runners, so new instances can start or stop quickly and cleanly. You can install ARC easily with Helm on Kubernetes and customize runners with features like custom images, volumes, and scripts. This automation saves you time and resources by matching runner capacity to your actual workload needs[1][2][3].
