Hi @itpropro, Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. We are looking into this issue and will update you on this issue after investigating.
It was announced in https://github.blog/changelog/2024-06-03-actions-arm-based-linux-and-windows-runners-are-now-in-public-beta/ that the expectation was that it would be available before the end of the year for OSS project:
Arm runners are available to customers on our Team and Enterprise Cloud plans. We expect to begin offering Arm runners for open source and personal accounts by the end of the year.
However, it's not planned as such in the roadmap (just "Future" rather than "Q4 2024 – Oct-Dec"): https://github.com/github/roadmap/issues/970
A clarification of what to expect would be nice, thanks.
Looking at table https://github.com/orgs/github/projects/4247/views/2 item 157 has a title "GitHub Actions: Arm based hosted runners for OSS" however status says 'future' not included even in 'Q1 2025 - Jan-Mar' roadmap.
Description
Many OSS projects can only use free images, it would therefore be great to add the ARM64 Linux and Windows runner images to the free tier. Especially with Windows on ARM getting more and more adoption, this would help a lot.
Platforms affected
