Cilium Reusable GitHub Actions

Reusable GitHub Actions used by the Cilium project.

Overview

Cilium is an eBPF-based networking, observability, and security solution for Kubernetes. This repository contains the shared GitHub Actions that power its CI infrastructure.

Usage

steps:
  - uses: cilium/actions/<action-name>@<ref>
    with:
      param: value

Each action directory contains an action.yaml (or action.yml) describing its inputs, outputs, and steps.

Set commit status

The set-commit-status action sets the workflow's commit status on a given SHA. The calling workflow must grant statuses: write permission.

permissions:
  statuses: write

steps:
  - uses: cilium/actions/set-commit-status@<commit-sha> # main
    with:
      sha: ${{ github.sha }}
      status: pending

Remove slow Azure apt mirrors

The remove-azure-apt-mirrors action drops the azure.archive.ubuntu.com entries from /etc/apt/apt-mirrors.txt on GitHub-hosted Ubuntu runners, so apt falls back to the official Ubuntu mirrors. It is a no-op on runners without that file.

steps:
  - uses: cilium/actions/remove-azure-apt-mirrors@<commit-sha> # main

Contributing

When adding or modifying an action:

• Pin all external action references to a full commit SHA.
• Add a # renovate: comment above any tool version so Renovate can keep it up to date.
