    runs-on: ${{ needs.create-runner.outputs.label }}
    steps:
      - run: echo "This runs on the GCE VM"

create-runner creates the GCE VM and registers the runner with unique label

Self-hosted runner security with public repositories

From GitHub's documentation:

We recommend that you only use self-hosted runners with private repositories. This is because forks of your repository can potentially run dangerous code on your self-hosted runner machine by creating a pull request that executes the code in a workflow.
