Runners & Pricing
Avrea runners are ephemeral VMs on dedicated hardware, with colocated caching and step-level observability. Billed per minute with no minimum.
Runner images
Section titled “Runner images”Avrea runner images are based on the official GitHub Actions Runner Images. They come pre-installed with the same set of software as GitHub-hosted runners, including Docker, Node.js, Go, Python, Java, .NET, and more.
For the full list of installed software, see the GitHub-maintained image readmes:
Avrea images include additional tooling on top of the base GitHub images (e.g. build cache adapters). If your workflow runs on GitHub-hosted runners today, it will run on Avrea without changes.
The latest alias
Section titled “The latest alias”avrea-ubuntu-latest-*-vcpu always points to the most recent supported Ubuntu LTS (currently 24.04). The bare avrea-ubuntu-latest maps to avrea-ubuntu-latest-2-vcpu — 2 vCPUs, 8 GB RAM.
Use latest unless you need to pin a specific Ubuntu version — see Pinned Ubuntu versions below.
