GitHub Actions: Self-hosted runners now support Windows ARM hardware

Actions runner support for Windows ARM hardware, is now in public beta . This provides teams with the capability to run self-hosted Windows workflows in a Windows ARM64 runtime.

There are some limitations of the current beta product to be aware of:

  • Windows ARM runners are currently using nodejs's "unofficial" win-arm64 builds
  • Some first party actions will not work until a win-arm64 version of that language is released:
    • setup-node
    • Some first party actions don't support the arm64 architecture:
    • setup-python -issue tracking it here

For additional information on how to set up a self-hosted Windows ARM64 runner, please refer to our documentation. If you have any feedback or questions for Actions self-hosted Windows ARM support, you can submit an issue in the runner repository.
