Runners and labels

How Coreload runs GitHub Actions jobs: a fresh VM for every job, the runs-on labels, and what the runner image includes.

Each job runs in a fresh VM that serves that job alone and is destroyed when the job ends. Today that VM runs a Debian image, not yet GitHub’s Ubuntu image, so Docker and some setup actions don’t work yet: see What runs today.

runs-on:	Machine	Price
coreload-2	2 vCPU · 7 GiB	$0.00114 / min
coreload-4	4 vCPU · 12 GiB	$0.00228 / min
coreload-8	8 vCPU · 32 GiB	$0.00418 / min

Billing starts when prepaid credit opens; until then nothing is charged.

• Put exactly one Coreload label in runs-on, on its own. A job that also asks for self-hosted or linux won’t start on Coreload.
• Use the labels we send you when we turn your organization on.
• New organizations start on the smallest size.
• A size with no price in the table isn’t offered.
• Jobs you don’t change keep running where they ran before.
