# 9apes Docs - Run GitHub Actions Jobs on 9apes

9apes gives teams faster GitHub Actions runners without requiring them to leave GitHub Actions.

Our runners are built for speed and security, using high single-core performance machines with NVMe disks to keep builds fast. Each job runs inside an ephemeral VM, giving every build strong isolation by default.

## What you need

- GitHub organization where you can install GitHub Apps.
- 9apes account — [create one with GitHub](https://9apes.com/docs/sign-up/); it takes one sign-in and no credit card.
- Supported runner label from [Available Runners](https://9apes.com/docs/available-runners/).

```diff lang="yaml"
- runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+ runs-on: 9apes
```
