CircleCI announces new capabilities to its self-hosted runners
New features extend speed and security for today’s enterprise-level software delivery teams

SAN FRANCISCO, JUNE 30, 2022 — CircleCI, the leading continuous integration and continuous
delivery (CI/CD) platform, today announced new security and automation capabilities to its
self-hosted runners.
Founded in 2011, CircleCI has always been at the forefront of software development. As thelargest CI/CD platform serving thousands of companies across the globe, CircleCI empowers its
customers to take ideas to execution, at scale, by fine-tuning the development process fromstart to finish.
CircleCI’s self-hosted runners bring CircleCI’s powerful cloud to any unique infrastructure orcompliance use case, allowing enterprise-level teams or those in highly regulated industries theability to build and test on a wider variety of architectures, as well as have additional control
over the environment.
Many customers use CircleCI’s self-hosted runners to monitor and adjust their runner pools tomatch the demands of their cloud pipelines, make informed scaling decisions, and identify andremediate stuck jobs or failed infrastructure.

In addition, today self-hosted customers can take advantage of the following:●Test splitting: Customers who use self-hosted runners can now take advantage ofCircleCI’s parallelism and test splitting features. The more tests projects have, the longer
it will take for them to complete using a single compute resource. To reduce this time,developers and their teams can split their tests and run them across multiple,
parallel-running execution environments. Splitting tests intelligently and using
parallelism saves time for developers and keeps them focused on building what matters
most.

●Enhanced access and control: Customers can use additionally configured SSH keys forrunning processes on other services during job execution with add_ssh_keys. This is inaddition to their ability to connect to private networks, deeply monitor their operating
systems, apply restrictions using static IPs, and more.

“Being able to move quickly and reliably is no longer ‘nice to have’ but core to the responsibilities
of today’s engineering teams,” said Jim Rose, CircleCI, CEO. “CircleCI’s latest additions will makeit easier for enterprise-level customers or those in highly regulated industries to have deeper
access to the most intelligent and performant CI/CD tooling on the market.”
These updates come on the heels of CircleCI’s introduction of a simplified self-hosted runneruser experience by adding the ability for customers to download self-hosted runners in fiveminutes or less directly from the CircleCI user interface, in addition to adding self-hosted runnercapabilities to all CircleCI plans, including the most generous free CI/CD tier for developers.
