Are you managing iOS app development at scale using Azure DevOps? You're likely familiar with the challenges of efficiently scaling macOS build agents for Xcode. While Azure DevOps excels at orchestrating Windows and Linux agents, macOS presents unique scaling hurdles.
Azure DevOps's native autoscaling capabilities don't fully extend to macOS, making it difficult to dynamically adjust your build capacity based on demand.
Managing your own macOS infrastructure can be complex, costly, and time-consuming, requiring significant IT overhead.
Inefficient scaling leads to bottlenecks in your CI/CD pipeline, impacting release velocity and time to market.
Orka Cluster from MacStadium provides a powerful solution to these challenges, enabling true autoscaling for your macOS build agents within your Azure DevOps workflow.
Orka leverages Kubernetes to provide ultra-high-scale deployment of macOS VMs for Xcode development.
With rapid deployment (<10s for cached 90GB images), Orka minimizes build times and ensures your CI/CD pipeline can handle even the most demanding iOS build cycles.
By running your Azure macOS agents within Orka Cluster, you gain the benefits of OCI-compliant container images and Kubernetes orchestration, mirroring the autoscaling capabilities you're accustomed to with Windows and Linux agents in Azure DevOps.
Want Orka to handle the scheduling and orchestration of your macOS build agents, just as Azure would for Windows and Linux pipelines? Talk to our team about it.
Experience significant performance improvements and accelerate your release cycles.
Empower your developers with faster feedback loops and more efficient workflows.
Eliminate macOS resource bottlenecks for faster build, test, and app release timelines.
Lower your IT overhead and avoid the complexities of managing your own macOS infrastructure.
Adjust your build capacity to meet fluctuating CI/CD needs.
Run Android builds on macOS agents within Orka, allowing for direct build time comparisons.
It was super easy to integrate Orka with Jenkins. With only a few lines of code, we could run jobs.
Orka has optimized our compute function costs, made our cloning simpler, and cut our build and transfer times.
Orka fell in line with our strategy to provide ephemeral agents for our build environment, as we were already doing in Windows and Linux.
