So, why is Scaleway doing this? In part, it reflects the company’s existing expertise around cloud deployment of ARM-based systems. In use, you will need to change the keyboard layout to match that of the local keyboard you are using when accessing the Mac. Once logged in you can launch applications as if you were using your Mac locally, you can also reboot your Mac remotely via Scaleway’s console, though you must ensure FileVault is disabled on the remote Mac. Xcode 12.4 comes pre-installed and the Macs are held in a state-of-the-art datacenter buried in a former bomb shelter beneath Paris.Įnterprises and users access the service using an online portal, where they can set the location and choose the OS (Big Sur being the only available option at present). Customers get 24-hour Mac-focused support and set-up takes approximately five minutes.
The service promises lightning-fast CI-CD for iOS and macOS and claims “excellent latency” from Europe. The use of VNC is great, as it means you can run your virtual Mac from Linux, Windows and macOS-based computers using the relevant client. You get access to a fully native user experience on remote 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD Mac minis using VNC or SSH. “This is the perfect setup to tackle increasingly complex macOS or iOS continuous integration and delivery for distributed development teams.” What’s on offer? Of course, in a scenario in which workforces are becoming increasingly remote, there’s likely a slim chance some customers may choose to use these remote Macs to furnish temporary access to teams. The company says its solution is designed for developing, building, testing, and signing applications for Apple devices. That means it's aimed at developers looking to offload Xcode builds and enterprises seeking temporary access to M1 Macs to test iOS and Mac apps, and for machine-learning development.
