GitHub Actions Runners

GitHub offers hosted virtual machines to run workflows. The virtual machine contains an environment of tools, packages, and settings available for GitHub Actions to use.

Organize and govern your workflows with GitHub-hosted larger runners using runner groups, concurrency policies, and granular access controls.

You can host your own runners and customize the environment used to run jobs in your GitHub Actions workflows.

You can connect GitHub-hosted runners to resources on a private network, including package registries, secret managers, and other on-premises services.

Use runner groups to control access to runners and organize runners across your organization or enterprise.
