Quotes and learnings from the case study:
Thumbtack's Transition from VMware to Orka®
“With Orka, Thumbtack now has a virtualization platform that will support future Apple OS upgrades.”
- Scott Southerland,
Thumbtack iOS Software Engineer
“Orka platform has optimized our compute function costs, made our cloning simpler, and cut our build and transfer times.”
- Scott Southerland,
Thumbtack iOS Software Engineer
Orka platform slashed build times in half, from one hour to 30 minutes.
