GH-200 Exam Dumps : GitHub Actions Exam

GitHub-hosted runners have a limit on the number of concurrent workflows (typically 20 for free-tier accounts and 5 for enterprise). If your organization needs to run more workflows simultaneously, you would need to use self-hosted runners to increase the available concurrency.

Self-hosted runners allow you to configure specialized hardware or software setups that are necessary for certain workflows. GitHub-hosted runners may not have access to custom hardware configurations like GPUs or other specialized resources, so self-hosted runners are required in such cases.

The correct GitHub Actions syntax for running a job across multiple Node.js versions is strategy.matrix. The matrix values are referenced at runtime through the matrix context, so node-version: ${{ matrix.node-ver }} is correct. Option A defines the matrix correctly but references it incorrectly through strategy.node-ver; matrix values are not accessed through the strategy context. Option C uses matrix-strategy, which is not a valid GitHub Actions workflow key. Option D reverses the structure by putting strategy under matrix, which is invalid. This question tests matrix strategy syntax, dynamic job configuration, and using matrix values as inputs to actions such as actions/setup-node. GitHub defines jobs. < job_id > .strategy.matrix as the proper matrix mechanism.

The simplest official GitHub Actions action type for running shell commands or shell scripts is a composite action. Composite actions allow an action author to combine one or more run steps and reusable workflow commands in an action.yml file without needing to package a Docker image or write a JavaScript action. Option B is correct because it directly supports shell-based automation. Option A is heavier because Docker container actions require a container image or Dockerfile. Option D is used when the action logic is written in JavaScript and executed with Node.js. Option C is incorrect because “Bash script action” is not an official GitHub Actions action type. This topic checks custom action types and reuse patterns.
