does anyone if it’s possible to use github oidc for auth in GHA for argocd diffs?
there a bunch of examples of people accomplishing this with static creds (api token generated in argo), but would love to take it one step further with modernized auth / security best practices. would it be possible using oidc.config with a github app?

Hey folks! I have experience with GitLab CI but considering using GitHub Actions for my new gig. There are a couple of things I really liked about GitLab and I'm curious how GHA stacks up.
1. You can provision multiple GitLab runner management pods with different SAs and settings (for example, nodegroup affinity to determine which nodes actual runners need to run on and resource requests that can be overriden in pipeline config via env vars). The management pods then listen for new jobs and spin up pods to execute as required with necessary settings. This is very convenient as you can easily set up new pods with AWS permissions and run them on Karpenter nodes of your choosing. Does the Github Actions runner controller offer similar flexibility?
2. It seems that Github Actions CI is free to run on Self-hosted runners, but just wanted to confirm that there are no hidden costs anywhere
3. GitLab runner pods had "service" containers which supported running docker-in-docker if needed. Can you do docker-in-docker in GHA?
4. For those familiar with both GitLab CI and GHA, any other "limitations" in GHA I should be aware of?

I noticed there is no convention posted for github action input/output naming conventions. Does cloudposse have a documented standard?

I don't see a serviceAccount under runner spec for https://github.com/cloudposse/terraform-aws-components/blob/main/modules/eks/github-actions-runner. Would that not be how you'd associate IAM permission to the runner scale set?

Any suggestions on this?

The ultimate goal of this App is to wholly eliminate the need for GitHub Personal Access Tokens (aka PATs).
