From 30,000 feet GitHub Actions is made up of the following components, with each component having its own complexities:

| Component | Description |

| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
9+
| Action | Individual tasks that you combine as **steps** to create a **job**. **Actions** are the smallest portable building block of a workflow. To use an **action** in a workflow, you **must include it as a step**. |
10+
| Artifact | <b>Artifacts</b> are the files created when you build and test your code. <b>Artifacts</b> might include binary or package files, test results, screenshots, or log files. <b>Artifacts</b> can be used by the other <b>jobs</b> in the workflow or deployed directly by the <b>workflow</b>. |
11+
| Event | A specific activity that triggers a <b>workflow</b> run. |
12+
| Job | A defined task made up of <b>steps</b>. Each <b>job</b> is run in a fresh instance of the <b>virtual environment</b>. <b>Jobs</b> can run at the same time in parallel or be dependent on the status of a previous <b>job</b> and run sequentially. |
13+
| Runner | Any machine with the GitHub Actions <b>runner</b> application installed. You can use a <b>runner</b> hosted by GitHub or host your own <b>runner</b>. A <b>runner</b> waits for available <b>jobs</b>. <b>Runners</b> run one <b>job</b> at a time reporting the progress, logs, and final result back to GitHub. |
14+
| Step | A <b>step</b> is a set of tasks performed by a <b>job</b>. <b>Steps</b> can run <b>commands</b> or <b>actions</b>. |
15+
| Virtual Environment | The <b>virtual environment</b> of a GitHub-hosted <b>runner</b> includes the virtual machine's hardware configuration, operating system, and installed software. |
16+
| Workflow | A configurable automated process that you can set up in your repository. <b>Workflows</b> are made up of one or more <b>jobs</b> and can be scheduled or activated by an <b>event</b>. |
