Multi CPU Builds
Enable Multi CPU builds #
If you wish to build on different multiple CPU architectures (ARM64, IBM PowerPC, IBM Z) and own or manage respective infrastructure, it is possible to do so using Travis CI.
In order to enable the capability of building on multiple CPU architectures, the following requirements are needed:
- An appropriate infrastructure with different CPU architecture.
- The ability to run an LXD host over a server with one of the supported CPUs.
- Perform the additional installation steps required for Travis CI Enterprise Worker.
- Configure CPU-specific queues to which newly installed Workers can listen for scheduled jobs.
The MultiCPU environment runs as LXD containers within an LXD host. Once the infrastructure is set up, developers can use it by simply modifying the .travis.yml in the repository. Please see our Multi CPU documentation for usage examples.
Please see deployment and configuration instructions on preparing Travis CI Enterprise to build against various CPU architectures.
Contact Enterprise Support #
To get in touch with us, please write a message to enterprise@travis-ci.com. If possible, please include as much of the following as you can:
- Description of the problem - what are you observing?
- Which steps did you try already?
- A support bundle (see table below on how to obtain it)
- Log files from all workers (They can be found at
/var/log/upstart/travis-worker.log- please include as many as you can retrieve). - If a build failed or errored, a text file of the build log

Since the announcement in Q3 2020, the most up to date version of Travis CI Enterprise is 3.x line. There are not any new releases for version 2.2 and the support patches has been limited since March 2021 as well. For existing users of Travis CI 2.x we strongly recommend upgrading to the latest Travis CI Enterprise 3.x.
Have you made any customizations to your setup? While we may be able to see some information (such as hostname, IaaS provider, and license expiration), there are many other things we cannot see which could lead to something not working. Therefore, we would like to ask you to also answer the questions below in your support request (if applicable):
- How many machines are you using / what is your Kubernetes cluster setup?
- Do you use configuration management tools (Chef, Puppet)?
- Which other services do interface with Travis CI Enterprise?
- Which Version Control system (VCS) do you use together with Travis CI Enterprise (e.g. github.com, GitHub Enterprise, or BitBucket Cloud)?
- If you are using GitHub Enterprise, which version of it?
We are looking forward to helping!
