Available Runs-On Labels

A runs-on label defines what VM will execute your Actions workflow. Currently, Worktree offers the following labels for all customers and all workflows.

In general, it is recommended to use the *-latest label when possible, and only pin to a specific version when tool compatibility is fragile or required.

Large Sizes and Multipliers

The Cost Multipler describes how usage is calculated for each label. One "actions minute" is defined as one minute of wall clock time at the standard ubuntu-latest VM size.

For example, the *-lg suffixed labels provision larger VMs and carry a 2.0x multipler. A 10 minute job on ubuntu-latest consumes 10 "actions minutes", whereas a 10 minute job on ubuntu-latest-lg would consume 20 "actions minutes" because each VM consumes twice as many resources as the standard ubuntu-latest.
