About this tag
Self-hosted runners are a key topic in GitHub Actions, especially for Windows developers managing CI/CD workflows. Recent discussions focus on GitHub's migration of the 'windows-latest' runner image from Windows Server 2022 to Windows Server 2025, which impacts self-hosted runner configurations. New REST APIs for workflow management also affect how organizations deploy and maintain self-hosted runners. These updates are critical for optimizing automation environments and ensuring compatibility with the latest Windows Server releases. The tag covers migration strategies, API integration, and best practices for maintaining self-hosted runners in enterprise DevOps pipelines.
