Incident Report

Summary AI Generated

GitHub Actions experienced degraded performance for 3.8 hours, with elevated queue times and job failures primarily affecting hosted runners in the East US region, impacting 8-10% of runs. The incident was caused by issues with GitHub's compute provider and affected both standard hosted runners and hosted runners with private networking. GitHub resolved the issue by applying mitigations for standard runners and working with their compute provider to restore capacity, with private networking users able to failover to other regions during the outage.
