Power-Up Your Pipelines: New Machines Available

Semaphore is enhancing its CI/CD platform by introducing new machine generations, the E2 and F1 series, which offer improved CPUs, increased RAM, and expanded disk space to boost workflow speed by up to 50%. The E2 series serves as a balanced upgrade from the classic E1 series, providing a cost-effective choice for various applications, while the F1 series is optimized for CPU-intensive tasks with its high-performance capabilities. After extensive testing in 2022 and successful customer trials, these machines have proven to significantly reduce build times and operational costs. For example, one organization halved their build times by switching to an F1 machine, while another reduced costs by opting for an E2 machine with larger memory and disk space. The new machines will be available by default on Semaphore's upcoming Startup and Scaleup plans, though the E1 series will remain available. Only Ubuntu 20.04 will be supported on these machines, with further information accessible through updated documentation and support channels.
