About:
Orka3 CLI is the command-line interface for Orka 3, a cloud-native platform that enables macOS workloads on Kubernetes. It allows developers to create, manage, and scale ephemeral macOS and Linux virtual machines directly from the terminal. This tool is essential for automating CI/CD pipelines that require macOS environments.
Key Features:
  • Create and manage ephemeral macOS VMs on Kubernetes
  • Full CLI control for automation and CI/CD integration
  • Support for both macOS and Linux virtualization
  • Seamless integration with Orka Cloud API
Use Cases:
  • Automating iOS app builds and testing in CI/CD pipelines
  • Provisioning temporary macOS build environments for developers
  • Managing cloud-based Mac infrastructure at scale
Alternatives:
  • Anka CLI – Focuses on creating and managing VM images locally or on private infrastructure.
  • MacStadium Orka 2 – The predecessor to Orka 3, using a different underlying virtualization technology.
