Create a large Windows runner to test the collector MSI
I'm starting to work on https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-releases/issues/576 and per tests on a separate repo a large Windows runner solved the issues mentioned at https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-releases/issues/576#issuecomment-2229108989.
Is it possible to get a large Windows runner for the releaser repo?
hi @pjanotti, sorry for the late reply, is this still an issue? I believe we can do this.
Yes, @trask - without the larger runner the tests will be very flaky (based on the experience with our distro and a larger Windows runner that we use to run MSI tests).
I've created a runner named otel-windows-latest-8-cores and given access to it to the opentelemetry-collector-releases repo, you should be able to use it in your workflow via:
runs-on: otel-windows-latest-8-cores
