Windows Hosted Agents

Windows builds, ready to go

Windows, without the servers

A clean machine for every job

Each job runs on a fresh Windows Server 2022 virtual machine, which Buildkite destroys along with its data when the job finishes.

Windows containers, process isolated

Docker Engine is installed on every machine and runs Windows containers with process isolation.

Bring your GitHub Actions workflows

GitHub Actions compatibility runs jobs that target windows-latest on a Windows hosted queue, next to your Linux and Mac jobs.

Run Windows alongside everything else

One pipeline, every platform

A shape for every job
