ZeroTier is an SDN platform that allows users to create virtual networks that can span multiple devices, locations, and cloud providers. ZeroTier creates an encrypted peer-to-peer mesh overlay that handles NAT traversal and authentication to network resources.
The ZeroTier Github Action allows users to easily integrate ZeroTier into their CI/CD workflows by temporarily connecting runners to a private ZeroTier network.

This action works on the Ubuntu, MacOS and Windows runner types.
After your workflow has completed, it automatically cleans up by revoking the runner’s access to the network.
