| Linux runners for GitHub Actions

Blaze provides ARM64 Linux runners on Apple Silicon for your containerized CI workflows. Native ARM64 support with Docker pre-configured lets you build ARM64 images without emulation.

Our Linux runners come with Docker pre-installed, along with common tools like Node.js, Python, Go, and Rust.

x86_64 runners are available on request at support@runblaze.dev.

The :lg size has 4 vCPU and 12 GB for 2x units; compute/...:lg has 8 vCPU and 24 GB for 4x units. See all options.

Pre-installed software

Every Linux runner comes with common development tools pre-installed:

  • * Docker – Container runtime with buildx
  • * Node.js – JavaScript runtime (LTS)
  • * Python – Python 3.x with pip

Performance

Our ARM64 Linux runners are perfect for building ARM64 Docker images:

Build native ARM64 images without QEMU emulation.

Compute tier

Compute runners get 4 vCPU and 12 GB for 2x units, the same as the :lg size on the same Apple M2 Macs.

Use compute runners by adding compute/ to your runner tag:

jobs:
  build:
    # Standard runner (1 unit)
    runs-on: blaze/ubuntu-24.04
    # Compute runner (2 units)
    runs-on: blaze/compute/ubuntu-24.04

The compute/ label is kept so existing workflows keep working. Adding :lg gives you 8 vCPU and 24 GB for 4x units.

Pricing

Blaze uses a unit-based pricing model. Each unit costs a fixed monthly rate with unlimited minutes:

How units work:

  • * Standard runner (2 vCPU, 6 GB) = 1 unit
  • * :lg or compute/ runner (4 vCPU, 12 GB) = 2 units
  • * compute/...:lg runner (8 vCPU, 24 GB) = 4 units
