Actions metrics improvements: adding runner labels

Starting today, you can now view runner labels in the Jobs tab of your Actions metrics. You can filter by the runner label to view runner specific metrics and answer questions such as:
– “What is the average queue time for my runner?”
– “Which repositories are using my runner?”
– “Which jobs are using the ubuntu-latest label?”

To access the feature, on your organization home page, select Insights near the top of the page, and then select ‘Actions Performance Metrics’ on the left side of the page.

GitHub Models now supports the ability to retrieve structured JSON responses in the UI

GitHub Models now supports the ability to retrieve structured JSON responses from models, making it easier to integrate AI outputs into applications and workflows.

While this functionality was already available via our API, this update adds it to the UI.

The latest GitHub and GitHub Copilot SOC reports are now available

We are pleased to announce that our most recent SOC reports (1, 2, and 3) are available now and include GitHub Enterprise Cloud for github.com with all new regions like the EU, as well as Copilot Business and Enterprise. These reports are applicable for the 6-month period April 1, 2024 to September 30, 2024 and are available on the GitHub Enterprise Trust Center for our customers.

This represents a significant milestone for GitHub and our customers for multiple reasons:
– Copilot Business and Enterprise are now gaining coverage of control operating effectiveness over the period represented by a Type II report (as opposed to the point-in-time reports represented by the previous Type I reports issued Spring 2024)
– Coverage for Enterprises hosted in either dotcom or the newly launched EU region.
– Future regions launched for GitHub Enterprise Cloud will also be compliant.

These efforts and the culminating SOC 2 Type II reports represent GitHub’s ongoing commitment to provide secure products to our customers, which continues to provide developers the assurance to build software better, together.

Looking forward, bridge letters will be coming mid-January 2025 for the gap period representing October through December 2024. Additionally, the next round of SOC reports covering October 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025 will be available to customers in June 2025.
