The Ubuntu 20.04 runner image (ubuntu-20.04) for GitHub Actions will soon be deprecated as of April 1, 2025. In preparation for this upcoming change, there will be scheduled brownouts that will result in failed deployments.
These scheduled brownouts will occur on the following dates:
March 4: 14:00 UTC – 22:00 UTC March 11: 13:00 UTC – 21:00 UTC March 18: 13:00 UTC – 21:00 UTC March 25: 13:00 UTC – 21:00 UTC
As a result of these changes, all Pagely apps utilizing GitHub Actions for CI/CD deployments will need to update their GitHub Action pipeline configurations to alter the runs-on parameter from ubuntu-20.04 to ubuntu-latest as shown in the example configuration.
This will ensure that your Github Actions deployments will continue to function properly and not encounter issues during the scheduled brownout times and after deprecation of the ubuntu-20.04 image is finalized. For more information regarding the deprecation of the ubuntu-20.04 image you can check out the GitHub issue.
As always, if you have any questions you can reach out to Pagely support at any time.
