[question] GitHub runner executed in AWS CodeBuild?

[pmcenery-bl]

I was wondering if anyone else has ever thought of executing the runner in AWS CodeBuild rather than an EC2 instance. There are a few benefits I can think of to this. These include:

• Cost - Compared to even spot instances, it looks beneficial.
• Parallelism - Some matrices result in quite a few jobs, and even increasing the max instances is quite slow.

I'm sure someone can tell me why this is a bad idea, but I was wondering if the scale up lambda could trigger the execution of a "CodeBuild" runner which could pick up and execute a job before terminating similar to this

Thoughts and comments welcome
