Sir, why They offer GitHub Managed Runners at free of cost? Usually i did projects All build, Test, scans on Github Managed Runners and EKS/K8S Deployment on self-hosted runner only.....is there any paid subscriptions are there to production deployments in Github Actions?

[@DevOpsCoach]

GitHub Actions runners are free for public repositories and come with a certain amount of free usage for private repositories. check here for more info--> docs.github.com/en/billing/managing-billing-for-github-actions/about-billing-for-github-actions
