GitHub Exam GitHub-Actions Topic 2 Question 13 Discussion

Actual exam question for GitHub's GitHub-Actions exam

Question #: 13
Topic #: 2

You installed specific software on a Linux self-hosted runner. You have users with workflows that need to be able to select the runner based on the identified custom software. Which steps should you perform to prepare the runner and your users to run these workflows? (Choose two.)

ACreate the group custom-software-on-linux and move the runner into the group.

BInform users to identify the runner based on the group.

CAdd the label custom-software to the runner.

DConfigure the webhook and network to enable GitHub to trigger workflow.

EAdd the label linux to the runner.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B, C

Once the runner is properly configured and labeled, users should be informed to select the specific runner by identifying the label or group name when defining the runner in their workflows.

Adding a custom label (like custom-software) to the runner makes it easier for users to select the runner in their workflows by using the runs-on key, which allows them to choose this specific runner based on its label.

This question is as clear as mud. I'm just gonna go with C and E and hope for the best. At least the labels will make the runner stand out, right? Like a sore thumb, but in a good way!

Hold up, I got this! A and B, baby. Grouping the runner and informing the users is the way to go. Gotta keep it organized, you know?

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'll say C and D. The label is important, and the webhook/network setup is crucial for triggering the workflows.

Woohoo, GitHub runners! I'm gonna go with B and D. The users need to know which runner to pick, and the webhook/network config is key to making the workflows work.

I think C and E are the right choices. The label custom-software will help users identify the runner, and the linux label will make it clear which platform the runner is on.
