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:
- At least one Anka Node (macOS host running the Anka Virtualization software).
- A linux container running the Anka Build Cloud Registry.
- 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:
- At least one Anka Node (macOS host running the Anka Virtualization software).
- A linux container running the Anka Build Cloud Controller & Registry.
- 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.
