What is this "GitHub APP"?

Adding a new workflow should work on our 0-day-bot. We now support 
having multiple workflows so this looks good

I think I understand. I think you mean s/GitHub APP/GitHub/ . otherwise 
I dont know what that is. From my understanding you had to request 
special arm-based runners from github

Are DPDK/dpdk and ovsrobot/dpdk whitelisted to use the arm-based runners?

Maybe there was a thread about this in the past that I missed, but where 
and how do you get these arm-based runners from github?

Apps on GitHub are integrations with the GitHub APIs. This "GitHub APP" should be installed on repository and it will enable requests for arm-based runners . Sorry for not specifying this APP in the above comment. It is to avoid unnecessary access from public. The installation link will be provided, as well as document, after release.

So GitHub has no native Arm support?

Where it will run? Which servers?

> It is to avoid unnecessary access from public.

You want to control who can run on these servers?
There is no access control other than app installation?

> The installation link will be provided, as well as document, after release.

After release of the app? You mean it is not ready yet?

In current state of assumptions, it is a nack.

GitHub APPs are integrations with the GitHub APIs and this one provided here will send requests for arm-based runners from AWS cloud. Document will be provided along with the APP to make better understanding after release. DPDK/dpdk and ovsrobot/dpdk are both whitelisted to use.

All these caching stuff is in consistence with the build workflow on GitHub provided runners, so should be needed.
