Azure pipelines supports macOS 11 and 12.

GitHub Actions supports macOS 11, 12, and 13 beta.

They cost a shit ton though because they have to run on mac mini AFAIK. It would most likely be way cheaper if there were to run on commodity hardware.

Pretty sure you also pay for them when they are shut down too.

Yes for renting an instance from AWS. Minimum lease time is 24H iirc. But that's not the case for Github Actions (and so I assume Azure Pipelines). You pay per minute, it's just 10x the cost of an Ubuntu instance.

I have never paid for Azure Pipelines, but they do offer just Intel :(
