What
Switches every GitHub Actions runner reference in this repository from
ubuntu-22.04toubuntu-24.04..github/workflows/bump-version.yml(1 line).github/workflows/test.yml(2 lines)Why
GitHub started brownouts of the
ubuntu-22.04hosted runner image on 2026-09-17; the label isdeprecated and jobs pinned to it will fail once retirement completes.
ubuntu-24.04is already theorg standard —
Kpler/github-actionsships a Checkov rule (ban_ubuntu_2204) that flags the oldlabel, and the shared workflows default to 24.04.
Beyond the deprecation, 24.04 ships newer defaults (Java 17, Python 3.12) that several org-wide CI
jobs already depend on.
Risk
Low, but not zero: 24.04 ships different default tool versions than 22.04 (Java 11 → 17,
Python 3.10 → 3.12, newer glibc/OpenSSL). Jobs that relied on an implicit 22.04 default may need an
explicit
setup-*step. CI on this PR is the check — if it is green, the runner swap is safe.Part of an org-wide sweep of
ubuntu-22.04references.
