MacStadium now offering its macOS virtualization and orchestration tool via a self-service purchase option called Orka Small Teams Edition.

Orka enables users of orchestration technologies like Kubernetes to use them on macOS via the cloud. After moving the virtual macOS tool to AWS, it is making it easier to access for smaller teams.

New and existing customers can purchase a pre-packaged, self-service Orka environment directly from MacStadium's website. The Small Teams Edition provides a simplified setup process and instant access to small to midsize customers.

"Not all organizations need the same level of hardware customization, and we have designed best practice configurations to deliver the ideal fit for teams of various sizes," said Greg McGraw, MacStadium co-founder and CEO. "We're excited to introduce an automated provisioning solution of our Orka platform so MacDevOps teams can begin using our industry-leading Orka software instantly on a standardized hardware setup."

MacStadium says small MacDevOps teams can extend their CI/CD pipeline by connecting Orka to the most popular DevOps tools and orchestrate workloads using Orka Platform's RESTful API. The highly scalable nature of Orka's use of Kubernetes is thanks to being built for Mac.

"We still offer completely customizable Orka Enterprise environments and will continue to find new and improved ways to build upon our reputation of being a trusted part of the iOS development ecosystem," McGraw added.

The Orka Small Teams Edition is available for $499 per month and includes the key components necessary in MacDevOps automation.
