Question

Your enterprise has provisioned GitHub-hosted larger runners (8-core Ubuntu) in the enterprise settings and assigned them to a runner group that is shared with the 'platform' organization. A workflow in a repository within that org needs to target these larger runners specifically, not the standard GitHub-hosted runners. Which configuration in the job's YAML correctly routes the job to the larger runners?

Accepted Answer

Use `runs-on:` set to the exact name of the larger runner (the label configured when the runner was created), e.g. `runs-on: ubuntu-8core`.

Answer

Use `runs-on: ubuntu-latest` and add a `runner-group:` key at the job level pointing to the shared group.

Answer

Set `runs-on: self-hosted` with an additional label `[self-hosted, large]` so it matches the enterprise-managed pool.

Answer

Add an `enterprise-runners: true` field under `strategy:` so the job opts in to the enterprise-hosted larger runners.
