DSim Cloud CLI remote cloud compute configuration

When you initialize 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 s4 remote cloud compute configuration is as follows:

• Memory: 4GB RAM
• Number of CPU cores: 2

The s8 remote cloud compute configuration is as follows:

• Memory: 8GB RAM
• Number of CPU cores: 2

By default, the s4 compute is provisioned upon workspace initialization. To provision the s8 compute, enter the following for workspace initialization:

mdc init --size s8

See DSim Cloud CLI initialize command for details.

Your cost varies depending on the remote cloud compute machine chosen. See DSim Cloud Pricing for current pricing. All prices and dollar values are in USD.

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.
