Dependabot now supports private Cargo registries

Dependabot can now provide updates to Rust dependencies by accessing Cargo private registries.

To learn more, check out the documentation for configuring private registries for Dependabot.

We are excited to announce that organizations within an enterprise can now create network configurations independently of their enterprise for Azure private networking. Azure private networking is a powerful feature that allows you to run your GitHub Actions workflows on GitHub-hosted runners connected to your Azure virtual network, without compromising on security or performance. Previously, only enterprises and organizations associated with team plans could create network configurations. This caused a bottleneck for administrators who have been delegated the responsibility for managing network configurations.

Moving forward, enterprise administrators can enable this feature by navigating to the “Hosted compute networking” section of their enterprise policies and selecting “Enabled”. Once this setting has been saved, all organizations associated with the enterprise will be able to create their own network configurations.

To start using Azure private networking for GitHub Actions, follow this guide to walk you through configuring Azure resources and creating an Actions network configuration. For additional information, check out our docs here. Please note that Azure private networking is available for GitHub Enterprise Cloud & Team plans.

Enterprise accounts on GitHub.com, created after June 2, 2024, along with organizations owned by these accounts, have access to the enhanced billing platform. This includes enhanced billing for Git Large File Storage (LFS). Enterprises who participated in the beta program also have access to this platform. Other Enterprise accounts on GitHub.com, and Free, Pro, and Team accounts, will gain access to the enhanced billing platform in the coming months.

The enhanced billing platform transitions Git LFS from a pre-paid, quota-based model (data packs) to a post-paid, usage-based model (metered billing). This new platform offers better spending control and detailed visibility, allowing for a clearer understanding of your usage with more granular controls.

Additionally, GitHub is increasing the free, included amount of Git LFS resources for Enterprise accounts on the enhanced billing platform. They will now receive 250 GiB of storage and 250 GiB of download bandwidth per month at no cost. Beyond these amounts, storage for Git LFS files will cost $0.07 per GiB per month (USD), and download bandwidth will cost $0.0875 per GiB per month (USD).

For more information, visit “About enhanced billing for Git Large File Storage” and “Using the enhanced billing platform for enterprises.”
