virtual-environments
Source code for creating VM images used by GitHub Actions and Azure Pipelines hosted runners.
What is virtual-environments?
GitHub Actions Runner Images is the open-source repository containing the source code used to create the virtual machine images for GitHub-hosted runners in GitHub Actions and Microsoft-hosted agents in Azure Pipelines. It defines the operating systems, pre-installed software, and configurations that provide consistent build environments for CI/CD workflows. The project ensures these images are secure, up-to-date, and include the tools developers need for testing, building, and deploying applications.
Developers and DevOps engineers using GitHub Actions or Azure Pipelines who rely on hosted runners for their CI/CD workflows and need to understand or customize the underlying build environment.
It offers transparency into the composition of official hosted runner images, provides a reference for building custom images, and allows the community to request tools or report issues, ensuring the environments are robust and meet common development needs.
