Runners

Avrea runners are ephemeral VMs on dedicated hardware, with colocated caching and step-level observability.

Pricing

Runners are billed per minute with no minimum. See avrea.com/pricing for current rates.

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

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.

Pinned Ubuntu versions

Pin a specific Ubuntu version when you need stability across runner-image rollouts. Sizes match the latest table above:

avrea-ubuntu-24.04-*-vcpu
avrea-ubuntu-22.04-*-vcpu

Same pattern for ARM, e.g. avrea-ubuntu-24.04-arm-4-vcpu.

Usage

Set the runner label in your workflow:

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: avrea-ubuntu-latest-4-vcpu
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v6
      - run: make build
