Announcing Azure Container Instances Support

Cirrus CI was created with an idea to leverage modern cloud technologies. Nowadays there is no need to constantly have a fleet of CI workers idly waiting for work to come. Modern clouds can provide computing resources unbelievably fast with just an API call.

Cirrus CI started with the first class support for Google Cloud Platform as a computing service to schedule CI workloads on. And today we are expending to support Azure. Cirrus CI goes multi-cloud!

Azure Container Instances (ACI) allows just to run containers without managing servers which makes it perfect for running spurious CI workloads. It’s per second billing model allows not to do resource planning at all. Pay as you go! Engineers don’t work on the weekends? No problem, don’t pay for CI during the weekends. There is a deadline this week? No need to worry about CI capacity.

If you are interested, please check documentation for additional details about using Azure with Cirrus CI.

We are planning to continue expanding the variety of computing service Cirrus CI support. Please follow us on Twitter for future updates.
