Anka Build Cloud

Accompanying the Anka Virtualization package which runs on macOS hardware, we provide the Build Cloud Controller & Registry. Below are two of the most popular examples of how our customers set up Anka Virtualization with the Build Cloud.

Controller-less (Registry Only)

This setup requires:

1. At least one Anka Node (macOS host running the Anka Virtualization software).
2. A linux container running the Anka Build Cloud Registry.
3. Your CI/CD’s runner/agent installed and able to execute anka CLI commands to prepare and use the Anka VM. For example, install the github actions runner and then use our action.

Controller + Registry

This setup requires:

1. At least one Anka Node (macOS host running the Anka Virtualization software).
2. A linux container running the Anka Build Cloud Controller & Registry.
3. Our plugin installed in your CI/CD tool (like the Anka Jenkins Plugin). See a full list of plugins available on our CI Plugins and Integrations page.
