@lkfortuna hoping you can take a look at this one.

README.md Outdated
Partner images are VM images which are created by third parties which GitHub Hosted Action runner customers can use to improve particular use cases in their workflow by providing particular tools in 'one click' to work with.

The purpose of this repository is provide a place for users of the images to report bugs and provide feedback on the images. The images are not open source, and thus there is no code housed here for building the images themselves. This is a forum for discussions and issues to be raised about the images, as well as a resource for information about the packages and tools on the images. If there is an issue with the underlying hardware, or with Actions, please report issues to GitHub directly using [support](https://support.github.com/request) or [community forums](https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions).

How does this label gets enabled for a customer? Do they need to sign-up for a service and install an app on their repo?

Yes that's correct - they follow the onboarding instructions to sign up, install a GitHub app, and then configure the app for which repos they want to have access to the Power and Z images.
