A GA (General Availability) image has been through a Beta period and is deemed ready for general use. Images are updated on a weekly cadence. In order to be moved to GA the image must meet the following criteria: 1- Has been through a Beta period (public or private) 2- Most major software we install on the image has a compatible version for the underlying OS and 3- All major bugs reported during the Beta period have been addressed. This image type falls under the customer [SLA](https://github.com/customer-terms/github-online-services-sla) for actions. GA images are eventually deprecated according to our guidelines as we only support the latest 2 versions of an OS.
