Multi-regional failover
Problem
Section titled “Problem”An outage occurs in the main AWS region you are using. You want to quickly switch all your GitHub Actions builds to another region.
Solution
Section titled “Solution”Setup RunsOn in another AWS region, keep the same environment name, and just suspend the other GitHub App installation so that all webhooks go to the new app!
- Deploy new stack ↗ in another region.
- Once new github app has been created and activated for the relevant repos, simply suspend the GitHub App for the RunsOn stack that is on the failing region:
- Enjoy!
