RunsOn features

  • Dynamic instance selection. Specify CPU, RAM, architecture or GPU in a label and RunsOn launches the matching EC2 spot or on-demand instance.
  • Fast job startup. Typical 30 s from queued to running; warm pools can reduce latency to under 6 s.
  • Unlimited machine types. Any EC2 instance type, including x64, ARM64 and GPU, can be used per job.
  • S3-backed caching. Add extras=s3-cache to use an unlimited S3 bucket in your VPC for cache storage.
  • Nested virtualization. KVM for Linux and Hyper-V for Windows enable Android emulators, VM-based e2e tests and Windows containers.
  • Per-job isolation. Each job runs on a fresh VM that is terminated when the job finishes, keeping data private.
