Discussion has anyone deployed windows self hosted runners using ARC. Or is that still not supported?

Las time I talked to my team it was still … questionable at best? I actually want to say unsupported. We unfortunately have to stick with static Windows runners for legacy .Net stuff and the like.

Is the static windows runners you mean a vm or scaleset?

Just Windows EC2 instances with the runner service and dev tools installed.

Otherwise we are on ARC on EKS so we’ve at least reduced our always on instance cost by a lot.

We didn't manage to get it working on ARC on AKS and just opted for a VMSS for Windows.
