GitHub-hosted runners: Double the power for open source

[grandmas-favorite]

 
Hi Community citizens!

The GitHub Actions team just posted the following update in our Product changelog:

GitHub Actions continues its industry-leading support for the OSS community by doubling the Windows/Linux machine size to 4-vCPU runners at no cost for public repositories.

What this means for you:

• Up to a 25% increase in performance for most CI/CD workloads without any configuration change required.
• For teams with larger workloads, the new machines offer twice the memory and over 10x the amount of storage than before.
• Simply run your public workflows using any of the existing Ubuntu or Windows labels, and they now will automatically run on the new 4-core hosted runners.

Hello, great news for open source!

4vCPU runner should be there for public runner.
However, I am seeing 4 vCPU GitHub in private repo too. That is wrong.

I would expect the information to be correct. Or the option to opt for larger runner.
