Images

​

Base Image and Compatibility

Our runners use GitHub Actions runner images as their foundation, ensuring:

• 100% compatibility with GitHub Actions workflows
• Extensive pre-installed software packages
• Regular security updates and patches

Image Update Policy

We maintain a strict update schedule to keep runners secure and up-to-date:

• Automatic synchronization with GitHub’s official images
• Updates typically deployed within 4 hours of release
• Priority given to security patches and critical updates
• Zero-downtime rolling updates across our fleet

Custom Image Support

While we currently don’t support custom images, our standard images are carefully curated to support common CI/CD scenarios. Our roadmap includes:

• Evaluating custom image support based on user feedback
• Potential future support for organization-specific images
• Focus on maintaining optimal performance and security
