Upgrade your Mac pipeline with Orka

New M5 and M6 Macs can give your CI pipeline faster compute. Orka helps you use that compute—and the Macs already in your fleet—more efficiently.

Add virtualization and orchestration to your Mac infrastructure to run clean, ephemeral build environments, pool compute across your fleet, and reduce the hands-on maintenance that slows engineering teams down.

Whether you are adding new hardware, or just want to improve the performance of your current Mac fleet, see how Orka can help with a free assessment of your current build pipeline.

Get more from every Mac

Put available compute to work

A faster Mac can process an individual CI job more quickly. Orka helps the entire fleet run more efficiently.

Orka pools resources across your Mac infrastructure and dynamically provisions macOS VMs for CI workloads. Instead of treating every Mac as an individual build machine, your hardware becomes a shared pool of compute.

That means the Macs you're buying this year—and the ones you're keeping—can work together as modern CI infrastructure.

Every build starts clean

Persistent build machines accumulate history. Dependencies linger. Configurations drift. Packages change. Temporary fixes become permanent ones. Eventually, your team is debugging the build machine instead of the build.

Orka lets you provision ephemeral macOS VMs from standardized images.

Deploy > Build > Tear down > Repeat

Each job can start from a known state, helping eliminate machine-specific inconsistencies and making it easier to determine whether a failure came from the code or the environment.

Make maintenance manageable at scale

More Macs shouldn't automatically mean more infrastructure work.

Orka helps reduce the host-by-host management that comes with a growing fleet of persistent build machines. Standardized environments help reduce drift, while virtualized workloads make it easier to manage capacity and take physical hosts offline when they need attention.

Hardware still needs maintenance. But your entire pipeline doesn't have to revolve around it.

Run Orka where your Macs already live

Your infrastructure strategy shouldn't have to change just to adopt virtualization.

Orka can bring macOS virtualization and orchestration to Macs across your infrastructure strategy—including hardware you manage on-prem, dedicated Mac infrastructure in a private cloud, and supported public cloud environments.

Already have a fleet you want to keep? Bring Orka to it.

Planning to add new Macs? Orka can help you get more from those, too.

One 2027 budget. Two ways to improve your pipeline.

If your plan for next year is simply "replace old Macs with faster Macs," you're improving one layer of your CI infrastructure. Consider what happens if you invest across two.

Invest in hardware where it matters.

Replace aging machines or add new M5 and M6 Macs where your team needs additional performance and capacity.

 

Invest in the infrastructure layer.

Add Orka to virtualize and orchestrate Mac compute across your fleet, including hardware that doesn't need to be replaced yet.

 

Instead of treating the hardware refresh as the entire infrastructure strategy, use it as an opportunity to modernize how your Mac fleet operates. You don't have to replace every Mac to upgrade your entire pipeline.
