Hi @grahamc - great question. If we offered nested virtualization, would this be sufficient? Or is there more that we would need to provide to support you using KVM? |

Hey folks, hope you don't mind me chiming in here. My team created actuated for self-hosted GHA within microVMs, we support launching VMs within CI, so long as Linux + KVM are all you need. Launching Firecracker in a GitHub Action: https://twitter.com/welteki/status/1625487015650410496?s=20 Running a NixOS build in a GitHub Action https://twitter.com/welteki/status/1625419864029466624?s=20 Nested virtualisation extensions are required on the host, so this only works on x86_64 for now. Feel free to reach out to me, I'm easy to find on the Internet. |

I managed to run KVM on the large hosted runners, but it requires some packages installed.

There are a lot of exciting developments in the operating space with unikernels, testing tools, networking labs, and more. It would be much easier to collaborate on and encourage new developers to explore this level of the system if GitHub Actions supported KVM.
What are the chances that Actions may support using KVM in the future?
