With GitHub's support for the new Actions Runner Scale Sets, you can just use runs-on: my-scale-set-name to specify which scaleset you want the runner to use. https://docs.github.com/en/actions/hosting-your-own-runners/managing-self-hosted-runners-with-actions-runner-controller/using-actions-runner-controller-runners-in-a-workflow#about-using-arc-runners-in-a-workflow-file

To use this configuration in a workflow, set the value of the runs-on key in your workflow to arc-runner-set, similar to the following example.

jobs:
  job_name:
    runs-on: arc-runner-set

• @JohnLBergqvist I don't understand your comment; "Yes" = ?
• @MPV I agree that it seem to be related...

Are you saying that the name azure-runners is a custom one? Does it mean that each organization can define custom names that will be hard to track on in the SchemaStore?

Yes it's now possible (and recommended for GHA ARC, as per the link) to have custom runs-on for your RunnerScaleSets.

So there's no way of validating the "allowed" values globally, right?
