Self-hosted GitHub Actions runners in Azure East US

Why this fits

• Azure's flagship US region with the widest SKU catalogue.
• Azure Azure East US keeps your CI compute in US for the duration of the job — useful for GDPR, RBI, HIPAA-adjacent and other data-residency rules.
• Audit-friendly — every job logs the region it ran in; data leaving the region requires an explicit step in your workflow.
