Which of the following scenarios would require the use of self-hosted runners instead of GitHub- hosted runners?

Question

Options

• Arunning more than the three concurrent workflows supported by GitHub-hosted runners
• Bexceeding 50,000 monthly minutes of build time
• Cusing Docker containers as part of the workflow
• Dusing specialized hardware configurations required for workflows
• Eperforming builds on macOS

• A

• B
  5% (1)
• C
  16% (3)
• E

Explanation

GitHub-hosted runners have a limit on the number of concurrent workflows (typically 20 for free- tier accounts and 5 for enterprise). If your organization needs to run more workflows simultaneously, you would need to use self-hosted runners to increase the available concurrency. Self-hosted runners allow you to configure specialized hardware or software setups that are necessary for certain workflows. GitHub-hosted runners may not have access to custom hardware configurations like GPUs or other specialized resources, so self-hosted runners are required in such cases.
