Public IP
A GitHub Action that retrieves the public IP address of GitHub Actions runners for firewall whitelisting.
What is Public IP?
Public IP is a GitHub Action that queries and returns the public IP address of GitHub Actions runners. It solves the problem of dynamically whitelisting runner IP addresses in firewalls and security groups, as GitHub's shared runner infrastructure uses constantly changing IP ranges across Azure and Mac Stadium.
DevOps engineers and developers using GitHub Actions who need to securely connect runners to external services, databases, or APIs that require IP-based firewall rules.
Developers choose Public IP because it provides a simple, automated solution to a common CI/CD security challenge, eliminating manual IP tracking and reducing security risks from overly permissive firewall rules.
