Move your CI pipeline to the cloud.

Orka brings simplicity and scalability to developers building for Apple devices. Spend less time dealing with operating systems, managing servers, or installing applications, and spend more time building great apps. Orka makes it easy for DevOps teams to support developers using the same Kubernetes-based tools and workflows that they use to support every other development team in the company.

Mac VMs on genuine Apple hardware.

Since iOS, iPad, watchOS, tvOS, and Mac apps can only be compiled and tested on macOS, which only runs on genuine Apple Mac hardware, developers need access to a large pool of Macs to run their CI-driven development pipelines. With Orka, MacStadium users get a software-driven, reliable, and high-performance experience with their MacStadium hardware.

Built by developers for developers.

Orka gives developers the power to create and scale the cloud environment they need to build and test their app without having to learn new or complex tools to manage their build infrastructure.

Deploy macOS VMs in seconds.

Orka takes a standard macOS VM, puts it inside of a Docker container, and then uses Kubernetes to orchestrate everything. Spin up a virtual machine in seconds with any version of macOS, then orchestrate pods of those VMs across a Kubernetes cluster. What makes Orka unique is that all of this is built on top of genuine Apple hardware, required any time you have a workload that requires macOS.

Tap into Kubernetes.

The Orka environment is a Kubernetes cluster that you can manage with kubectl. The kube account acts as a Kubernetes service account for your Orka environment. While limited, it's available on a sandbox namespace and comes with a default RBAC configuration.
