this is GL specific? what about GH?

[0x2b3bfa0]

This is GitLab-specific. On GitHub it's not possible.¹

The closest approximation I can think of is this (not working) example:

on: push
jobs:
  authentication:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    outputs:
      username: ${{ steps.authenticate.outputs.username }}
      password: ${{ steps.authenticate.outputs.password }}
    steps:
      - id: authenticate
        run: |
          echo "username=AWS" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
          echo "password=$(aws ecr get-login-password --region us-east-1)" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
        env:
          AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: ${{ secrets.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID }}
          AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: ${{ secrets.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY }}
  example:
    needs: authentication
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    container:
      image: ACCOUNT.dkr.ecr.REGION.amazonaws.com/REPOSITORY:TAG
      credentials:
        username: ${{ needs.authentication.outputs.username }}
        password: ${{ needs.authentication.outputs.password }}
    steps:
      - run: true

kewl. I think this perhaps deserves a new page?
or perhaps https://cml.dev/doc/ref/runner#examples?

It is about self-hosted runners, on GitLab, with private container registries. Definition of niche.
