What is runner?
GitHub Actions Runner is the application that runs jobs from GitHub Actions workflows. It executes the steps defined in workflows, handling environment setup, script execution, and artifact management. It can be used as part of GitHub's hosted virtual environments or deployed as a self-hosted runner in private infrastructure.
Developers, DevOps engineers, and organizations using GitHub Actions for CI/CD who need to run workflows on custom hardware, in secure environments, or with specific software dependencies.
It provides the flexibility to run GitHub Actions workflows anywhere, offering control over the execution environment while maintaining seamless integration with GitHub's automation platform. Self-hosted runners enable use cases like accessing internal resources, using specialized hardware, or complying with security policies.
