Investigating some new CI software and all their training is held in Skilljar. Skilljar wants me to create an account which I’m always dubious of even if i use burner accounts. Never heard of them before just wondering if anyone has any experience of them.

I haven't. It would seem they are a Learning Management System (LMS), sold on a SaaS basis, to companies looking for a paid for training/course delivery platform.

I'm not telling you anything you don't know, obviously.
I do know a bit about CI/CD though. I have used flux and drone (now woodpecker) - primarily for gitops.
Would be interested in what you are looking at, if it's not verboten.
I'm looking at CircleCI. They had a big presence at Qcon this year, big IT sector conference in London, and we're looking at a new CI system so thought I'd have a look.
I know they have had shonky uptime in the past, and a recent serious data breach. Quite mature and scales well though, I understand, if you want a large system.
I tend to be dealing with a much narrower use case, and not much team sharing.
I've started using Circle CI for my personal coding projects. At work we use GCP and Spinnaker though I try to avoid being involved tbh.
I set up a personal one today and it looks great for that. I'm trying to replace a system that has 300+ Windows executors, 100+ Linux executors all of which are processing various CI CD jobs 75% of the time during the day and about 25% overnight. It's a massive system. To put it in AWS it would cost over a million a month to run it. I have a feeling a CircleCI hosted systems would not be affordable.
I'm no CI/CD expert, but that sounds very wrong. Either you need to refactor, or you're calculating wrong.
Not my area of expertise as I just talk shit, but I know a cloud consultancy oop North who would have my utmost confidence in architecting any of this shit. If you ever want an intro.
Or else me and Shady can bodge something together for ten grand cash in hand
Amazon are one of our customers. We get mates rates. If it was friends with benefits we might be OK.
I thought he was a crap DJ.
Chicago: Glad To Help.
