GitHub runners physical location

[michalbali256]

Hi,

My company has an obligation to specify country, where our software was built. In which countries are the action runners hosted? Is there a way to determine the location of current runner? Is there a way to restrict the countries in which my runners execute?

Thanks

Hi @michalbali256, welcome to the GitHub Support Community! GitHub hosts runners in the following Azure regions:

• East US (eastus)
• East US 2 (eastus2)
• West US 2 (westus2)
• Central US (centralus)
• South Central US (southcentralus)

You can compare these regions with the Azure data centre locations here:

Choose the Right Azure Region for You | Microsoft Azure

Azure has more geographies than any other cloud provider—with robust data sovereignty, residency, compliance, and resiliency capabilities for any application.

You may also be able to find what you need by checking the IPs of the GitHub runners here:

docs.github.com

Specifications for GitHub-hosted runners - GitHub Docs

//docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/specifications-for-github-hosted-runners

You aren’t able to choose which runner locations are used though so if all these locations don’t suit your needs then you may need to find an alternate solution.

If you need to be more specific about where your code is processed, then it may be worth looking into setting up self-hosted runners in your chosen location:

Is this list maintained anywhere in the docs? I imagine it's subject to change?
