Enterprise-grade iOS CI/CD in your data center

Orka Cluster turns your on-prem Mac hardware from a collection of machines into a fully orchestrated pool of macOS resources, capable of powering a fully integrated, automated CI/CD pipeline.

Get more from your on-prem Macs

Orka Cluster is a software layer on top of your on-prem Mac hardware that enables the ephemeral macOS environments needed to create a modern app development pipeline.

Kubernetes-native

Kubernetes (k8s) is the industry standard for managing containerized applications, often used by developers during the build and test processes. K8s is designed to scale and integrates with all the additional tooling your team needs to run an efficient app build pipeline.

Enterprise-ready

Orka provides virtualization and orchestration of all your macOS/iOS/other Apple OS workloads out of the box. No need to spend extra time and resources building custom components just to get started.

The Orka Cluster difference

The next-generation macOS virtualization solution that allows your app development team to release more efficiently and effectively.

Ephemeral macOS environments

Orka cluster provides macOS virtualization and orchestration. You need both of these things together to create ephemeral build & test environments at scale. These two things together are what allows Orka to create new VMs on demand and destroy them after the task is complete.

Shareable images for team efficiency

Phosfluorescently monetize covalent scenarios, and continually administrate cross-platform initiatives, then dramatically brand corporate users.

Faster Startups

Open Container Initiative (OCI)-compliant, thin-provisioned images launch in seconds, reducing bottlenecks and increasing throughput.



Locally cached images - with scheduled caching - take less than a second to launch, meaning your build or test starts nearly instantly.

Integrated Single Sign-On

Easily control and manage environment access for DevOps and developers via the MacStadium Portal with SSO.
