Large Windows runners

Access to large Windows runners is available to repositories on request (open a community issue), which will give access to the following GitHub-hosted runner:

  • otel-windows-latest-8-cores

Note: these runners are pay-as-you-go. CNCF and GitHub expect fair use of these provided resources. Please ensure your workloads are optimized to avoid unnecessary usage.

Admins: @open-telemetry/admins

Bare metal runners

Bare metal runners are available for benchmarking workloads. See How to use an Oracle bare metal runner for how to request access and use the runner.

oracle-bare-metal-64cpu-1024gb-x86-64-ubuntu-24

Hardware specification (BM.Standard3.64):

ComponentSpecification
Processor2-socket Intel Xeon Platinum 8358 (2.6 GHz base, 3.4 GHz max turbo)
OCPUs64 (128 vCPUs), 32 per socket
Memory1024 GB (2 NUMA nodes, 512 GB per node)

Note: there is only one bare metal runner at this time, so please ensure your workloads are optimized to avoid unnecessary usage.

Linux/s390x runners

IBM provides linux/s390x runners for build and test automation on this platform. Access to these runners is available to repositories on request; please open a community issue to request access. The following runners are currently available:

  • ubuntu-24.04-s390x
  • ubuntu-22.04-s390x

Note: In response to your request, IBM may ask for additional information such as primary use cases for the runner or the link to the current existing actions workflow file(s). At this stage, the action runners are sized to fulfill common build and unit test tasks.

Bot accounts

Easy CLA

This is not really an OpenTelemetry asset as we do not have any credentials or admin access for it.

For support:

Docker Hub

https://hub.docker.com/u/otel is a Docker-Sponsored Open Source organization.

Minimum-scoped Docker Hub organization access tokens should be used to push images.

otelbot

This is a GitHub App owned by @open-telemetry that you can use when automating common GitHub tasks in OpenTelemetry repos such as release automation tasks.

This GitHub App has the following permissions:

  • Read access to metadata
  • Read and write access to pull requests
  • Read access to org members and teams

Admins

This GitHub App addresses two common issues:

  1. Since you can't push directly to main from workflows (due to branch protections), the next best thing is to generate a pull request from the automation and use an account which has signed the CLA as the commit author.

    The otelbot GitHub App is on the EasyCLA allowlist, and you can assign it as the commit author in your automation:

    git config user.name otelbot[bot]
git config user.email 197425009+otelbot[bot]@users.noreply.github.com

    It is recommended to push to branch names that start with otelbot/, and to add a branch protection rule for otelbot/**/* with the same setup as documented for dependabot/**/*.

    Warning

    Branch protection rule ordering matters, so you will need to delete the **/** branch protection rule temporarily, then add the otelbot/**/* branch protection rule, then add back the **/** branch protection rule.

  2. When you use the built-in secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN to generate a pull request from inside a GitHub Action, workflows will not run on that new pull request without closing and re-opening it manually (this limitation is in place to prevent accidental recursive workflow runs).

    The OpenTelemetry GitHub organization has a GitHub Action secret (OTELBOT_PRIVATE_KEY) and a GitHub Action variable OTELBOT_APP_ID that can be used to create a GitHub App token which will bypass this limitation, e.g.

    - uses: actions/create-github-app-token@v1
  id: app-token
  with:
    app-id: ${{ vars.OTELBOT_APP_ID }}
    private-key: ${{ secrets.OTELBOT_PRIVATE_KEY }}

- name: Create pull request
  env:
    # not using secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN since pull requests from that token do not trigger workflows
    GH_TOKEN: ${{ steps.app-token.outputs.token }}
  run: ...

Warning

The otelbot is and needs to remain a public GitHub App in order for EasyCLA to be able to verify its CLA status.

otelbot (SIG-specific)

SIG-specific otelbot GitHub apps are for repositories that need to run automations with permissions beyond the main otelbot. Each of these apps is scoped to a single repository with dedicated credentials.

SIG-specific otelbot apps are on the EasyCLA allowlist.

Usage in GitHub Actions:

(replacing _JAVA_CONTRIB_ with the SIG-specific name)

# Pattern follows the official actions/create-github-app-token example:
# https://github.com/actions/create-github-app-token#configure-git-cli-for-an-apps-bot-user
- uses: actions/create-github-app-token@v1
  id: app-token
  with:
    app-id: ${{ vars.OTELBOT_JAVA_CONTRIB_APP_ID }}
    private-key: ${{ secrets.OTELBOT_JAVA_CONTRIB_PRIVATE_KEY }}

- name: Get GitHub App User ID
  id: get-user-id
  env:
    GH_TOKEN: ${{ steps.app-token.outputs.token }}
  run: echo "user-id=$(gh api "/users/${{ steps.app-token.outputs.app-slug }}[bot]" --jq .id)" >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"

- name: Automated task
  env:
    GH_TOKEN: ${{ steps.app-token.outputs.token }}
  run: |
    # SIG-specific otelbot apps are on the EasyCLA allowlist
    git config user.name  '${{ steps.app-token.outputs.app-slug }}[bot]'
    git config user.email '${{ steps.get-user-id.outputs.user-id }}+${{ steps.app-token.outputs.app-slug }}[bot]@users.noreply.github.com'
    # Your automation commands here

@opentelemetrybot GitHub user

@opentelemetrybot is a GitHub user that can be used for automation that requires a real GitHub user rather than a GitHub App.

For example, the open-telemetry/opentelemetry-operator repository has an automation that sends PRs to external GitHub organizations, and so a real GitHub user is required (at least without asking the external GitHub organization to install a GitHub App).

Slack

The slack user OpenTelemetry Admin is community owned and can be used for self-servicing slack (e.g. as Channel Manager to rename spaces).

Security

The SIG Security has access to the following tools, with GC and TC members welcome to request access to them as well. Find more details under tools on the SIG Security GitHub repository.
