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.
