When the user initializes a local directory through the mdc initialize command, a remote cloud compute is provisioned for the user and is attached to the workspace, ready to accept commands.
Remote compute configuration
The remote cloud compute configuration is as follows:
- Memory: 8GB RAM*
- Number of CPU cores: 2
Remote directory structure
- /remote: The root directory of the remote workspace:
- /remote/work: 200GB for user files and execution artifacts
If a workspace cannot be created for any reason, an error message will be printed to the screen informing the user that a remote workspace was not created.
* As of the 0.3.0 release, the default amount of RAM has been increased to 8GB for newly initialized workspaces. Prior to 0.3.0, workspaces were allocated 4GB.
