From GitHub's documentation:
We recommend that you only use self-hosted runners with private repositories. This is because forks of your repository can potentially run dangerous code on your self-hosted runner machine by creating a pull request that executes the code in a workflow.
If you need EC2/AWS self-hosted runner, check out machulav/ec2-github-runner.
