About:
Anka Build Cloud Controller serves as the central management hub for Veertu's Anka virtualization platform. It provides a web-based GUI and REST API to orchestrate macOS virtual machines across a fleet of hypervisor hosts. This controller enables dynamic resource allocation, state management, and seamless integration into CI/CD pipelines for scalable iOS and macOS build environments.
Key Features:
  • Centralized GUI and REST API for VM orchestration
  • Dynamic resource scheduling across Anka hypervisor nodes
  • Native integration with CI/CD systems like Jenkins and GitLab
  • Real-time monitoring and state management for VM fleets
Use Cases:
  • Managing large-scale macOS VM clusters for mobile app CI/CD
  • Automating iOS simulator provisioning for parallel testing
  • Centralized administration of distributed Mac build infrastructure
Alternatives:
  • VMware ESXi – VMware is a general-purpose hypervisor, whereas Anka is purpose-built for macOS virtualization with native Apple Silicon support and CI/CD tooling.
  • Proxmox VE – Proxmox is an open-source server virtualization platform, while Anka provides specialized tooling and licensing for ephemeral macOS workloads.
