Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Makes it easy to launch macOS CI VMs on Apple Silicon. Connects as a self-hosted runner for GitHub, BuildKite and GitLab. Can also run a script to start a runner for other systems. Significantly faster and cheaper than paying for the hosted runners! Open source.

Tradeoffs

Can’t run multiple VMs in parallel.
