Make Github Actions Faster

After setup your hardware, you need to head over to your Github Actions config file and simply change the runs_on property to self-hosted. All subsequent runs will now use your very fast BuildJet hardware

BuildJet made my Github Actions run so much faster. Went from around 40 min to 10m after a super simple installation. Very happy and satisfied with the service.

GitHub Actions runs on a Cloud VM with few cores and a slower clock speed. BuildJet offers dedicated hardware that outperforms it significantly.

Each job is isolated in its own VM, with no shared states between jobs. The virtualization layer is based on KVM which runs with disk encryption
