Build Automation provides several choices of the build machine to run your build. Build Automation refers to each choice as a machine type. Each machine type includes its number of virtual CPU cores, RAM, GPU RAM, and disk size.
Base your choice of machine type on your specific project, its size, and requirements. For example, choose a machine type with larger disk space to build projects with a larger source code repository. Choose a Premium machine type for projects with heavy shader compilation, lightmap baking, or for projects over 50 GB in size.
A higher tier machine type doesn't necessarily result in faster build times than a lower tier machine type. The specific details and complexity of each project affect the project's use of resources at build time.
Note
For the costs of each machine type, refer to Unity's official public pricing. Your specific pricing might vary based on your negotiated agreements.
