GitHub Now Offers Free arm64 Hosted Runners!
2025-01-16

GitHub has announced the free availability of Linux arm64 hosted runners in public repositories (currently in public preview). These runners, powered by Cobalt 100 processors, offer 4 vCPUs and up to a 40% performance boost compared to the previous generation of Arm-based VMs. Arm-native developers can now build, test, and deploy entirely within the arm64 architecture without virtualization. Simply add the `ubuntu-24.04-arm` or `ubuntu-22.04-arm` labels to your public repository workflow to get started.
