Cross-Time-Zone Build Relay · Dedicated Physical Cloud Macs

Connect a dedicated physical Mac to your build queue.

Deploy Cloud Macs in Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, and the US East Coast. Dedicated physical machines, not virtual machines, for Xcode builds, testing, CI execution, remote development, and experiments.

Five Physical Nodes · One Handoff Board

Choose a node based on access direction,
then validate with a real repository.

The catalog covers 5 physical nodes in Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, and the US East Coast. Compare your main access cities, team time zones, repository location, and CI dependencies—not just a single network test.

SGAvailable

Singapore

For Southeast Asia and cross-border engineering collaboration, with build handoffs suited to UTC+7 through UTC+9 work hours.

Coverage: Southeast Asia / South China
Suggested tests: Singapore, Shenzhen
Best for: Remote development, Asia-based CI
JPAvailable

Japan (Tokyo)

For teams in Japan and Northeast Asia; suitable for validating Japan Mac server connectivity, Japan-region dependencies, and release workflows.

Coverage: Japan / Northeast Asia
Suggested tests: Tokyo, Shanghai
Best for: Xcode builds, release checks
KRAvailable

South Korea (Seoul)

For Korea Mac server workloads and CI or testing tasks that depend on Korean network services.

Coverage: South Korea / Northeast Asia
Suggested tests: Seoul, Beijing
Best for: Korea-region testing, build queues
HKAvailable

Hong Kong

For access from South China, Hong Kong, Macao, and cross-border development teams; ideal for validating real command-line and graphical-session connectivity first.

Coverage: South China / Hong Kong and Macao
Suggested tests: Hong Kong, Shenzhen
Best for: Remote development, short build cycles
US-EAvailable

US East Coast

For Eastern North American work hours, code-hosting dependencies, and asynchronous CI queues after Asian teams sign off.

Coverage: Eastern North America / Europe
Suggested tests: New York, Frankfurt
Best for: Cross-time-zone handoffs, North American dependencies

Nodes operate normally 365 days a year. Network paths vary with local carriers, access times, and dependent services. Run a complete build from a real repository on your target node before choosing a long-term billing cycle.

Two Dedicated Physical Configurations

Compare specifications and pricing first.

Both plans use Apple Silicon Cloud Macs with dedicated physical machines, not virtual machines. Rent by the day, week, month, or quarter; each billing cycle is priced separately, and all orders are settled in USD.

Validate short tasks by the day or week; compare monthly or quarterly plans for ongoing development and fixed CI queues. If you need an additional SSD or Thunderbolt 5 daisy chain, verify the price for each billing cycle on the plan page.

Workloads and Fit

Four workload types, with clear boundaries.

Choose the final configuration based on peak RAM, SSD usage, concurrent build count, and task duration. Projects with the same name may require different configurations when dependency caches, test counts, and signing steps differ.

XCODE
BUILD

iOS / macOS builds

For archiving, signing checks, unit tests, UI tests, and pre-TestFlight builds.

Recommended configuration
DeployMac M4
Typical task
xcodebuild
Validation metrics
Duration / peak RAM
For highly parallel multi-project workloads, sustained high memory use, or large workspaces, compare DeployMac M4 Pro using a real project.
RUNNER
READY

CI/CD execution

Connect GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or a self-hosted Runner to handle testing and archive queues.

Recommended configuration
Compare by concurrency
Typical task
archive + test
Validation metrics
Queue / cache hit rate
Do not choose solely by single-build duration; also track working-directory usage, cache growth, and the number of simultaneous tasks.
REMOTE
DEV

Remote development

Maintain projects, reproduce toolchains, inspect build results, and handle release tasks through command-line or graphical sessions.

Recommended configuration
DeployMac M4
Typical task
Swift / Xcode
Validation metrics
Latency / jitter
The graphical experience depends on the local network, resolution, encoding quality, and node path. Complete a real connection test first.
64GB
MEMORY

AI experiments

Run model inference, validate tools, preprocess data, and conduct memory-intensive experiments on Apple Silicon.

Recommended configuration

Validation metrics
Memory / throughput
No performance results are promised without validation against the target model, context length, quantization method, and concurrency parameters.
Migrate from Your Local Environment

From a local Mac to a Cloud Mac,
migrate through three validation points.

For every step, record the inputs, actions, completion criteria, and rollback point. Reproduce one project first, then connect it to the shared CI queue to avoid mixing data, toolchain, and runner issues in a single change.

Migration starting point

Local
Mac

Next →
Step 01Data

Data migration

Input

Code repositories, build assets, dependency lockfiles, and non-sensitive configuration.

Action

Sync with Git, rsync, or encrypted transfer; handle sensitive credentials separately.

Validation result: Verify commits, file counts, and required hashes.
Rollback point: Keep the original local copy and migration checklist.
Step 02Toolchain

Toolchain reproduction

Input

Xcode version, dependency manager, build parameters, and signing requirements.

Action

Pin tool versions, restore dependencies, and run a clean build.

Validation result: Compare artifacts, tests, and signing checks.
Rollback point: Restore the version manifest and retain failure logs.
Step 03Runner

CI integration

Input

Runner configuration, working directory, cache, and concurrency strategy.

Action

Register the Runner, then start with non-release branches and repeatable tests.

Validation result: Confirm that logs and artifacts are traceable.
Rollback point: Disable the Runner and switch back to the original queue.
What Three Engineering Roles Care About

Users care about wait times,
consistency, and handoffs.

These examples summarize decision priorities across three common workflows. They do not replace configuration validation with a real repository, fixed network path, and target dependencies.

“I’ll start by renting one weekly for archiving and lock down the certificates, dependencies, and export steps. Then I won’t have to wait for my own Mac to become available before creating a build.”

Independent iOS developerRelease and TestFlight workflow

“We keep the same Xcode setup, cache directories, and logging conventions. After the Asia team signs off, colleagues in North America can continue reviewing the same build results.”

Mobile CI leadCross-time-zone build queue

“The 64GB of memory lets me first verify whether the model suits Apple Silicon. I only record performance conclusions for fixed models, quantization methods, and parameters.”

Catalog Mix and Delivery Confirmation

Two configurations × five nodes.

Both configurations are marked “Available” throughout the catalog. At checkout, actual availability, device details, target node, rental period, and delivery result are based on the live console response and order confirmation.
