aosp_atd and google_atd system images are only available on x86 and ARM architecture at API level 30.You can pass the -read-only parameter when starting up an emulator emulator -read-only to run multiple devices at the same time.

Keep in mind, you can also pass the -device flag and use a device name from the avdmanager list device command which should also set a default resolution because it will inherit the set of properties of that 'device' in the config.ini. If you cannot do this, you can still pass -skin 1080x1920 as an argument when starting the emulator. Hw.keyboard=yes # enables keys from your laptop to be sent to the emulator Skin.name=1080x1920 # proper screen size for emulator Note: Increasing resolution will decrease performance on CI.

Generally the lower resolution devices will be less taxing on your CPU resources on CI, and are preferred especially without GPU/Hardware acceleration. But, certain settings like pixel density, resolution, memory, partition size, etc will be changed.

Passing in a device will make the Emulator settings (usually found in the ~/.android/avd/emulator.avd/config.ini file) try to mimic that device. device 'pixel_5' at the end of the command on step 3. Note: To check which devices you can create from the command line, run avdmanager list deviceand pass in the device name as the value of -device, e.g. In my benchmarks, they are about 40% more efficient than the google_apis image. I recommend always using the new google_atd or aosp_atd images when possible.
