Accelerate App Development on EC2 Macs

You are confident in the level of security and scalability AWS provides for applications running in their data centers. Now you can build an automated, ephemeral macOS CI pipeline on the same trusted infrastructure.

Orka on AWS delivers simplicity and scalability to developers building for Apple devices. Spend less time dealing with the complexities of managing macOS and orchestrating your CI workloads on M1 machines and spend more time building innovative apps on AWS.

Ephemeral environments on EC2 Macs

Orka on AWS uses the power of AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) to manage macOS workflows and orchestrate your macOS VMs with Kubectl commands.

Fast startup and portability

Orka images are thin-provisioned and OCI-compliant, making them easy to share and transfer across environments. With Orka, you can launch new macOS VMs in under a minute, compared to 30-45 minutes on bare metal EC2 Mac.

Integrates with you favorite CI tools

Orka provides prebuilt integrations to popular CI tools, such as GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Gitlab, and more.
