@TomKeur the announcement you pointed at is about GA, GA will be somewhere in August I think, but public beta is mid-May

Awesome, thanks for the heads up! 👍

I'm interested to know if this will regress the .net 8 SDK version to 8.1xx, rather than the current 8.2xx given the changes in .net provision in Ubuntu 24.04

See the MS post here where I have also commented.

Update: answered very quickly, so no worries.

Is the Ubuntu 24.04 LTS runner supposed to be live already?
I can see it in the overview on GitHub Actions Runner Images with YAML Label ubuntu-24.04.

If I try to use it I'm seeing it hang:

Requested labels: ubuntu-24.04
Job defined at: xxxx
Waiting for a runner to pick up this job...

[mikhailkoliada]

@MikeMcC399 not yet, there will be a separate announcement once everything is available, we are just in the process of setting things up, that is why readme is there.

@mikhailkoliada

Thanks for confirming the status! Looking forward to the announcement as soon as you're ready! 👍🏻

Should be here now: #9848

My fear came true, the new image only has .net 8.10x SDK so has broken some of our builds that depended on the later SDK versions

[richlander]

This appears to be the guidance. Does it not work?

[mungojam]

It will work but will increase the time/cost of every one of our 100s of builds. It means that GitHub hosted runners are no longer the batteries included option.
