+### Deployment fails on GKE due to webhooks
+
+**Problem**
+
+Due to GKEs firewall settings you may run into the following errors when trying to deploy runners on a private GKE cluster:
+
+```
+Internal error occurred: failed calling webhook "mutate.runner.actions.summerwind.dev": 
+Post https://webhook-service.actions-runner-system.svc:443/mutate-actions-summerwind-dev-v1alpha1-runner?timeout=10s: 
+context deadline exceeded
+```
+
+**Solution**<br />
+
+To fix this, you may either:
+
+1. Configure the webhook to use another port, such as 443 or 10250, [each of
+   which allow traffic by default](https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/private-clusters#add_firewall_rules).
+
+   ```sh
+   # With helm, you'd set `webhookPort` to the port number of your choice
+   # See https://github.com/actions-runner-controller/actions-runner-controller/pull/1410/files for more information
+   helm upgrade --install --namespace actions-runner-system --create-namespace \
+                --wait actions-runner-controller actions-runner-controller/actions-runner-controller \
+                --set webhookPort=10250
+   ```
+
+2. Set up a firewall rule to allow the master node to connect to the default
+   webhook port. The exact way to do this may vary, but the following script
+   should point you in the right direction:
+
+   ```sh
+   # 1) Retrieve the network tag automatically given to the worker nodes
+   # NOTE: this only works if you have only one cluster in your GCP project. You will have to manually inspect the result of this command to find the tag for the cluster you want to target
+   WORKER_NODES_TAG=$(gcloud compute instances list --format='text(tags.items[0])' --filter='metadata.kubelet-config:*' | grep tags | awk '{print $2}' | sort | uniq)
+
+   # 2) Take note of the VPC network in which you deployed your cluster
+   # NOTE this only works if you have only one network in which you deploy your clusters
+   NETWORK=$(gcloud compute instances list --format='text(networkInterfaces[0].network)' --filter='metadata.kubelet-config:*' | grep networks | awk -F'/' '{print $NF}' | sort | uniq)
+
+   # 3) Get the master source ip block
+   SOURCE=$(gcloud container clusters describe <cluster-name> --region <region> | grep masterIpv4CidrBlock| cut -d ':' -f 2 | tr -d ' ')
+
+   gcloud compute firewall-rules create k8s-cert-manager --source-ranges $SOURCE --target-tags $WORKER_NODES_TAG  --allow TCP:9443 --network $NETWORK
+   ```
+
+## Operations
+
+Troubeshooting runbooks that relate to ARC operational problems
+
+### Stuck runner kind or backing pod
+
+**Problem**
+
+Sometimes either the runner kind (`kubectl get runners`) or it's underlying pod can get stuck in a terminating state for various reasons. You can get the kind unstuck by removing its finaliser using something like this:
+
+**Solution**
+
+Remove the finaliser from the relevent runner kind or pod
+
+```
+# Get all kind runners and remove the finalizer
+$ kubectl get runners --no-headers | awk {'print $1'} | xargs kubectl patch runner --type merge -p '{"metadata":{"finalizers":null}}'
+
+# Get all pods that are stuck terminating and remove the finalizer
+$ kubectl -n get pods | grep Terminating | awk {'print $1'} | xargs kubectl patch pod -p '{"metadata":{"finalizers":null}}'
+```
+
+_Note the code assumes you have already selected the namespace your runners are in and that they 
+are in a namespace not shared with anything else_
+
+### Delay in jobs being allocated to runners
+
+**Problem**
+
+ARC isn't involved in jobs actually getting allocated to a runner. ARC is responsible for orchestrating runners and the runner lifecycle. Why some people see large delays in job allocation is not clear however it has been https://github.com/actions-runner-controller/actions-runner-controller/issues/1387#issuecomment-1122593984 that this is caused from the self-update process somehow.
+
+**Solution**
+
+Disable the self-update process in your runner manifests
+
+```yaml

-## Deployment fails on GKE due to webhooks
+## Outgoing network action hangs indefinitely
 
 **Problem**
 
-Due to GKEs firewall settings you may run into the following errors when trying to deploy runners on a private GKE cluster:
+Some random outgoing network actions hangs indefinitely. This could be because your cluster does not give Docker the standard MTU of 1500, you can check this out by running `ip link` in a pod that encounters the problem and reading the outgoing interface's MTU value. If it is smaller than 1500, then try the following.
 
-```

-Post https://webhook-service.actions-runner-system.svc:443/mutate-actions-summerwind-dev-v1alpha1-runner?timeout=10s: 
-context deadline exceeded
+**Solution**
+
+Add a `dockerMTU` key in your runner's spec with the value you read on the outgoing interface. For instance:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: actions.summerwind.dev/v1alpha1
+kind: RunnerDeployment
+metadata:
+  name: github-runner
+  namespace: github-system
+spec:
+  replicas: 6
+  template:

+      dockerMTU: 1400
+      repository: $username/$repo
+      env: []
 ```
 
-**Solution**<br />
+There may be more places you need to tweak for MTU.
+Please consult issues like #651 for more information.
 
-To fix this, you need to set up a firewall rule to allow the master node to connect to the webhook port.

+HRA doesn't scale the RunnerDeployment to zero, even though you did configure HRA correctly, to have a pull-based scaling metric `TotalNumberOfQueuedAndInProgressWorkflowRuns`, and set `minReplicas: 0`.

+**Solution**
+
+You very likely have some dangling workflow jobs stuck in `queued` or `in_progress` as seen in [#1057](https://github.com/actions-runner-controller/actions-runner-controller/issues/1057#issuecomment-1133439061).

+Manually call [the "list workflow runs" API](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/actions/workflow-runs#list-workflow-runs-for-a-repository), and [remove the dangling workflow job(s)](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/actions/workflow-runs#delete-a-workflow-run).

+//   an error returned by GitHub API.
+//
+// When the returned values is "Case 2. (false, nil)", the caller must handle the three possible sub-cases appropriately.
+// In other words, all those three sub-cases cannot be distinguished by this function alone.
+//
+// - Case "2-1." can happen when e.g. ARC has successfully unregistered in a previous reconcilation loop or it was an ephemeral runner that finished it's job run(an ephemeral runner is designed to stop after a job run).
+//   You'd need to maintain the runner state(i.e. if it's already unregistered or not) somewhere,
+//   so that you can either not call this function at all if the runner state says it's already unregistered, or determine that it's case "2-1." when you got (false, nil).
+//
+// - Case "2-2." can happen when e.g. the runner registration token was somehow broken so that `config.sh` within the runner container was never meant to succeed.
+//   Waiting and retrying forever on this case is not a solution, because `config.sh` won't succeed with a wrong token hence the runner gets stuck in this state forever.
+//   There isn't a perfect solution to this, but a practical workaround would be implement a "grace period" in the caller side.
+//
+// - Case "2-3." can happen when e.g. ARC recreated an ephemral runner pod in a previous reconcilation loop and then it was requested to delete the runner before the runner comes up.
+//   If handled inappropriately, this can cause a race condition betweeen a deletion of the runner pod and GitHub scheduling a workflow job onto the runner.
+//
+// Once successfully detected case "2-1." or "2-2.", you can safely delete the runner pod because you know that the runner won't come back
+// as long as you recreate the runner pod.
+//
+// If it was "2-3.", you need a workaround to avoid the race condition.
+//
+// You shall introduce a "grace period" mechanism, similar or equal to that is required for "Case 2-2.", so that you ever
+// start the runner pod deletion only after it's more and more likely that the runner pod is not coming up.
+//
+// Beware though, you need extra care to set an appropriate grace period depending on your environment.
+// There isn't a single right grace period that works for everyone.
+// The longer the grace period is, the earlier a cluster resource shortage can occur due to throttoled runner pod deletions,
+// while the shorter the grace period is, the more likely you may encounter the race issue.

+# actions-runner-controller v0.22.0
+
+This version of ARC focuses on scalability and reliablity of runners.
+
+## GitHub API Cache
+
+In terms of scalability, ARC now caches GitHub API responses according to their recommendation(=Cache-Control header[^1]).
+As long as GitHub keeps its current behavior, it will result in ARC to cache various List Runners API and List Workflow Jobs calls for 60 seconds.
+
+[^1]: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/overview/resources-in-the-rest-api#conditional-requests
+
+The cache for List Runners API is expecially important, as their responses can be shared between every runner under the same scope (repository, organization, or enterprise).
+
+In previous versions of ARC, the number of List Runners API calls had scaled proportional to the number of runners managed by ARC.
+Thanks to the addition of cache, since v0.22.0, it may scale proportional to the number of runner scopes (=The number of repositories for your repository runners + The number of organizations for your organizational runners + The number of enterprises for your enterprise runners). You might be able to scale to hundreds of runners depending on your environemnt.
+
+Please share your experience if you successfully scaled to a level that wasn't possible with previous versions!
+
+## Improved Runner Scale Down Process
+
+In terms of reliability, the first thing to note is that it has a new scale down process for both RunnerDeployment and RunnerSet.
+
+Previously every runner pod can restart immediately after the completion, while at the same time ARC might mark the same runner pod for deletion due to scale down.
+That resulted in various race conditions that terminated the runner prematurely while running a workflow job[^2].
+
+[^2]: See [this issue](https://github.com/actions-runner-controller/actions-runner-controller/issues/911) for more context.
+
+And it's now fixed. The new scale down process ensures that the runner has been registered successfully and then de-registered from GitHub Actions, before starting the runner pod deletion process.
+Any runner pod can't be terminated while being restarting or running a job now, which makes it impossible to be in the middle of running a workflow job when a runner pod is being terminated. No more race conditions.
+
+## Optimized Ephemeral Runner Termination Makes Less "Remove Runner" API calls
+
+It is also worth mentioning that the new scale down process makes less GitHub Actions `RemoveRunner` API calls, which contributes to more scallability.
+
+Two enhancements had been made on that.
+
+First, every runner managed by ARC now [uses `--ephemeral` by default](https://github.com/actions-runner-controller/actions-runner-controller/pull/1211).
+
+Second, we [removed unnecessary `RemoveRunner` API calls](https://github.com/actions-runner-controller/actions-runner-controller/pull/1204) when it's an ephemeral runner that has already completed running.
+
+[GitHub designed ephemeral runners to be automatically unregistered from GitHub Actions after running their first workflow jobs](https://github.blog/changelog/2021-09-20-github-actions-ephemeral-self-hosted-runners-new-webhooks-for-auto-scaling). It is unnecessary to call `RemoveRunner` API when the ephemeral runner pod has already completed successfully. These two enhancements aligns with that fact and it results in ARC making less API calls.
+
+## Prevention of Unnecessary Runner Pod Recreations
+
+Another reliability enhancement is based on the addition of a new field, `EffectiveTime`, to our RunnerDeployment and RunnerSet specifications.
+
+The field comes in play only for ephemeral runners, and ARC uses it as an indicator of when to add more runner pods, to match the current number of runner pods to the desired number.
+
+How that improves the reliability?
+
+Previously, ARC had been continuously recreating runner pods as they complete, with no delay. That sometimes resulted in a runner pod to get recreated and then immediately terminated without being used at all. Not only this is a waste of cluster resource, it resulted in race conditions we explained in the previous section about "Improved Runner Scale Down Process". We fixed the race conditions as explained in the previous section, but the waste of cluster resource was still problematic.
+
+With `EffectiveTime`, ARC defers the addition(and recreations, as ARC doesn't distinguish addition vs recreation) of
+missing runner pods until the `EffectiveTime` is updated. `EffectiveTime` is updated only when the github-webhook-server of ARC updates the desired replicas number, ARC adds/recreates runner pods only after the webhook server updates it, the issue is resolved.
+
+This can be an unnecessary detail, but anyway- the "defer" mechanism times out after the `DefaultRunnerPodRecreationDelayAfterWebhookScale` duration, which is currently hard-coded to 10 minutes. So in case ARC missed receiving a webhook event for proper scaling, it converges to the desired replicas after 10 minutes anyway, so that the current state eventually syncs up with the desired state.
+
+Note that `EffectiveTime` fields are set by HRA controller for any RunnerDeployment and RunnerSet that manages ephemeral runners. That means, it is enabled regardless of the type of autoscaler you're using, webhook or API polling based ones. It isn't enabled for static(persistent) runners.
+
+There's currently no way to opt-out of `EffectiveTime` because the author of the feature(@mumoshu) thought it's unneeded. Please open a GitHub issue with details on your use-case if you do need to opt-out.
+
+## Generalized Runner Pod Management Logic
+
+This one might not be an user-visible change, but I'm explaining it for anyone who may wonder.
+
+Since this version, ARC uses the same logic for `RunnerDeployment` and `RunnerSet`. `RunnerDeployment` is Pod-based and `RunnerSet` is StatefulSet-based. That remains unchanged. But the most of the logic about how runner pods are managed is shared between the two.
+
+The only difference is that what adapters those variants pass to the generalized logic. `RunnerDeployment` uses `RunnerReplicaSet`(our another Kubernetes custom resource that powers `RunnerDeployment`) as an owner of a runner pod, and `RunnerSet` uses `StatefulSet`(it's vanilla Kubernetes StatefulSet) as an owner of a runner pod.
+
+This refactoring turned out to enable us to make `RunnerSet` as reliable as `RunnerDeployment`. `RunnerSet` has been considered an experimental feature
+even though it is more customizable than `RunnerDeployment` and has a support for Persistent Volume Claim(PVC)s.
+But since it now uses the same logic under the hood, `RunnerSet` can be considered more production-ready than before.
+
+If you staed away from using `RunnerSet` due to that, please try it and report anything you experienced!

+Previously to use the pod `topologySpreadConstraint:` attribute in your runners you had to set `topologySpreadConstraints:` instead, this was a typo and has been corrected.
+
+**Migration Steps**
+
+Update your runners to use `topologySpreadConstraints:` instead
+
+## BREAKING CHANGE : Default sync period is now 1 minute instead of 10 minutes
+
+Since caching as been implemented the default sync period of 10 minutes is unnecessarily conservative and gives a poor out of the box user experience. If you need a 10 minute sync period ensure you explicitly set this value.
+
+**Migration Steps**
+
+Update your sync period, how this is done will depend on how you've deployed ARC.
+
+## BREAKING CHANGE : A metric is set by default
+
+Previously if no metric was provided and you were using pull based scaling the `TotalNumberOfQueuedAndInProgressWorkflowRuns` was metric applied. No default is set now.
+
+**Migration Steps**
+
+Add in the `TotalNumberOfQueuedAndInProgressWorkflowRuns` metric where you are currenty relying on it
+
+```yaml
+
+apiVersion: actions.summerwind.dev/v1alpha1
+kind: RunnerDeployment
+metadata:
+  name: example-runner-deployment
+spec:
+  template:
+    spec:
+      organisation: my-awesome-organisation
+      labels:
+        - my-awesome-runner
+---
+apiVersion: actions.summerwind.dev/v1alpha1
+kind: HorizontalRunnerAutoscaler
+metadata:
+  name: example-runner-deployment-autoscaler
+spec:
+  scaleTargetRef:
+    name: example-runner-deployment
+  minReplicas: 1
+  maxReplicas: 5
+  metrics:
+  - type: TotalNumberOfQueuedAndInProgressWorkflowRuns
+    repositoryNames:
+    - owner/my-awesome-repo-1
+    - owner/my-awesome-repo-2
+    - owner/my-awesome-repo-3
+```
+
+## ENHANCEMENT : Find runner groups that visible to repository using a single API call
+
+GitHub has contributed code to utilise a new API to enable us to get a repositories runner groups with a single API call. This enables us to scale runners based on the requesting repositories runner group membership without a series of expensive API queries.
+
+This is an opt-in feature currently as it's a significant change in behaviour if enabled, additionally, whilst scaling based on the repositories runner group membership is supported in both GHES and github.com, only github.com currently has access to the new raate-limit budget friendly API.
+
+To enable this set deploy via Helm and set `githubWebhookServer.useRunnerGroupsVisibility` to `true`.

+# actions-runner-controller v0.24.0
+
+All changes in this release can be found in the milestone https://github.com/actions-runner-controller/actions-runner-controller/milestone/4
+
+This log documents breaking and major enhancements
+
+## Upgrading
+
+In case you're using our Helm chart to deploy ARC, use the chart 0.19.0 or greater. Don't miss upgrading CRDs as usual! Helm doesn't upgrade CRDs.
+
+## BREAKING CHANGE : Support for `--once` is being dropped
+
+> **Warning**: If you're using ARC's official runer image, make sure to update the image tag to `v2.292.0` BEFORE upgrading ARC
+
+In #1385 we changed ARC to NOT automatically set the feature flag `RUNNER_FEATURE_FLAG_EPHEMERAL=true`. If you're using ARC's official runer image, make sure to update the image tag to `v2.292.0` before upgrading ARC, because that's the first runner image release since we changed the default to `--ephemeral`. If you kept using an older runner image after upgrading ARC, you end up using `--once` which is unreliable and had been deprecated since almost a year ago.
+
+>> **Warning**: If you're using a custom runner image, incorporate changes made in #1384 to your runner image dockerfile
+
+If you're building a custom runner image on your own and it still requires the user to specify `RUNNER_FEATURE_FLAG_EPHEMERAL=true` to use `--ephemeral`, check #1384 and update your custom runner image dockerfile accordingly. Otherwise, you may unexpectedly end up with using `--once` after upgrading ARC, because that was the previous default.
+
+Relevant PR(s): #1384, #1385
+
+## FIX : Prevent runner form stucking in Terminating when the container disappeared
+
+We occasionally heard about runnner pods stuck in Terminating after the node and containers running on it disappeared due to, for example, the machine terminated prematurely.
+
+We now set runner pods' restartPolicy to `Never` and remove runner pods stuck in `Waiting` after restarting, so that the pods are more likely to NOT stuck forever.
+
+Relevant PR(s): #1395, #1420
+
+## ENHANCEMENT : Support arbitrarily setting `privileged: true` for runner container
+
+This is a frequently asked feature that alows you to force `privileged: true` in case you don't need docker but still need privileged tasks to be run in a job step.
+
+In combination with a container runtime like `sysbox` this should enable you to run docker builds within the dind sidecar, all without privileges. See [the discussion related to Sysbox](https://github.com/actions-runner-controller/actions-runner-controller/discussions/977) for more information.
+
+Note that we ARC maintainers still have no bandwidth to provide a complete description on how to make ARC work with `sysbox` yet, but almost certainly we'd welcome contributions to the documentation if you managed to make it work.
+
+Relevant PR(s): #1383
+
+## ENHANCEMENT : RunnerSet can now retain PVs accross restarts
+
+This enhancement makes it more practical to use RunnerSet in combination with `volumeClaimTemplates` to make your workflow jobs faster.
+
+Please see our updated ["Custom Volume Mounts" section in the documentation](https://github.com/actions-runner-controller/actions-runner-controller#custom-volume-mounts) for more information. Currently, we cover caching Docker image layers, go mod/build, and PV-backed runner work directory(Although this one is backed by another feature unrelated to this enhancement under the hood).
+
+Relevant PR(s): #1340
+
+## ENHANCEMENT : OpenSSF scorecard adoption
+
+We assessed the project's security by following OpenSSF scorecard checks and adopting OpenSSF best practices.
+It should help you judge the security throughout ARC's development and release processes.
+
+Relevant PR(s): #1461
