Hosted agents

High-speed, low-maintenance Linux

Reduce your admin overhead by leaving infrastructure to us. Buildkite’s fully managed CI/CD lets you spin projects up quickly, scale up or down with changing needs, and eliminate maintenance overhead.

There are good reasons to manage your own CI/CD infrastructure—we designed Buildkite Pipelines to give you that control. But when your team is small, you have a lot on your plate. A managed CI/CD solution gives you more time to focus on your other priorities.

Whatever your reason, Linux hosted agents give you another way to use Buildkite Pipelines for your CI/CD:

  • Low maintenance: Buildkite handles scaling, caching, operating, and updating the infrastructure.
  • Faster builds: Halve your build times by moving to Buildkite-hosted agents, thanks to our optimized caching strategy.
  • Specialized compute: An off-the-shelf solution built from years of experience in CI/CD.
  • More time shipping code: With build results returning quickly, you no longer need to take a coffee break every time you push a commit.
  • Same slick UX: All the power and flexibility of dynamic pipelines to tailor builds for specific changes at runtime.

Save time and toil today. Try your pipelines on Buildkite Linux hosted agents.
