Self-Hosted Agents
Secure your most important workflows
Combine your build infrastructure with Buildkite’s control plane for faster, safer, and cheaper software delivery.
Upload pipeline
Take full control of the build environment
Run your compute with our orchestration.
Optimize on your terms
You own the build environment and configure the runners (agents), so you can fine-tune them to suit your needs—speed, cost, risk reduction, it’s up to you.
Match compute to workflow
Dedicate more and faster agents to pipelines with heavy workloads. Use smaller, cheaper agents for less important tasks.
Test where you deploy
Don’t get caught out by unexpected errors in an environment you can’t see or control. Run your tests in an environment matching production.
Continuously tweak your setup
The best version of your setup today will be different in a year from now, but Buildkite supports both.
Own your security posture
You can’t leak sensitive data when you don’t have access to it—and Buildkite doesn’t need it.
Run in your security perimeter
Pipelines run in your build environment on agents you configure, all within your security perimeter.
Limit access to secrets
Buildkite never needs access to your source code, secrets, or internal systems. You can even check out the agent code yourself—it’s open source.
Lock down runners
Deeply integrated lifecycle hooks let you restrict the build environment and what agents can do.
Integrate on your terms
Don’t open your firewall to another tool. Instead, use Buildkite’s extensive APIs and webhooks to build the integrations you need to fit your tools and workflows. Or use an integration from the plugin ecosystem.
Buildkite on Kubernetes
Set up Kubernetes infrastructure on any cloud.
Deploy a prebuilt stack
The Buildkite Agent Stack for Kubernetes gives you a Kubernetes controller that runs Buildkite steps as Kubernetes jobs.
Use simple configuration
The Kubernetes plugin converts PodSpec into pods with options for patches, sidecars, extra volume mounts, and more.
Avoid vendor lock-in
Run the Buildkite Agent Stack for Kubernetes on any cloud—AKE, EKS, or GKE.
Buildkite on AWS
Get your build environment up and running quickly on AWS.
Use a prebuilt stack on EC2
The Buildkite Elastic CI Stack for AWS gives you a private, autoscaling Buildkite agent cluster.
Parallelize large test suites
Use the Buildkite Elastic CI Stack for AWS across hundreds of nodes to run tests, app deployments, and AWS ops tasks.
Start from sensible defaults
Each Buildkite Elastic CI Stack for AWS deployment contains a launch template with all you need, and full customization.
Buildkite on Google Cloud
Set up your delivery platform with Google services.
Scale the cross-platform runner
The Buildkite agent can run workloads on Google Kubernetes Engine, Google Compute Engine, or any other platform.
Parallelize heavy workloads
Run multiple agents to scale with your needs.
Keep your artifacts close
Configure the agent to store build artifacts in your Google Cloud Storage bucket.
