Add details about Runner OS version in Actions environment

[sagarchikane]

Can we have below highlighted values readily available as part of Default Environment variables for a Github Action

This thread mentions something about fetching the version of the self hosted runner but it isn't clear about which script to execute

My use-case involves fetching the version for Runner image.

One way to do that would be to listen for that job to complete and then use Github CLI/API commands to fetch the action logs and then grep the logs to find the said version. This seems like quite the long process to fetch something that could be readily available as an environment variable for developers to directly use.

Hey @sagarchikane. Image OS and version are available as environment variables $ImageOS and $ImageVersion. Is this what you are looking for?

Thanks for the reply @vpolikarpov-akvelon , yes this is what I was looking for. Couldn't find these in docs directly which caused the confusion
