In the upcoming days, Codespaces will be adding the Australia region to prebuild configurations under region availability. This will enable users to have prebuilds specifically in Australia.
If you would like to have Australia selected as a region, go to your prebuilds and select the Australia region.
If you have all regions currently selected you will have all regions except for Australia selected once this change is implemented. This will be change to ensure users do not get billed in a region they do not want.
If you would like to have all regions, including Australia, selected, please go to your prebuilds and select all regions again.
Prebuild configurations with Southeast Asia already selected as a region with users in Australia may experience decreased codespace creation time as Australia will now be a separate region from Southeast Asia. To continue to get improved codespace creation time, add Australia as a region under region availability.
Please contact support if you have any issues.

Secret scanning will now use AI to detect unstructured passwords in git content and generate an alert. Alerts for passwords appear in a separated tab from regular secret scanning alerts.
Generic secret detection is available for repositories with a GitHub Advanced Security license. The feature is in a limited beta and access will be granted through a waitlist.
