VM instances and images for SaaS runners on macOS
When you use SaaS runners on macOS:
- Each of your jobs runs in a newly provisioned VM, which is dedicated to the specific job.
- The VM is active only for the duration of the job and immediately deleted.
VM types
The virtual machine where your job runs has sudo access with no password.
For the Beta, there is only one available machine type, gbc-macos-large.
| Instance type | vCPUS | Memory (GB) |
