See section 3.A.ii - (I haven’t checked if it’s been retrospectively added to Catalina SLA but I doubt it.) This is actually a (new) condition in Apple’s EULA for Big Sur, so it will apply to any cloud based service. But that’s not just AWS - it’s all of them going forward. Others have pointed out that AWS has a minimum 24 hour “lease” period.
How do you expect that a cloud service will be any different? That’s literally what a cloud service is. Does anyone know of other services which provide the same thing? And does anyone have experience with one of them, positive or negative?Īccessing physical machines remotely is not a scalable solution I'd like to find more of these services so I can evaluate them and hopefully choose one for my company. We've noticed a few services pop up that are offering cloud based OSX virtual machines, I've linked one below. This has happened a number of times, enough for us to start looking for a permanent solution. But if one of those Mac Minis crashes outside of one of those days, this other team is essentially SOL.

They routinely require a manual reboot when they crash or otherwise become inaccessible, and doing that usually falls on my team, since we've consolidated our hardware deployment out of the main office, and we have a skeleton crew there on any given day (usually one person a day, 2 - 3 days per week).
Our company is growing rapidly, and it's become clear that accessing physical machines remotely is not a scalable solution, a problem made worse by the pandemic and this team not having anyone in the office to manage the Mac Minis. As such, they need access to Apple hardware, which currently takes the form of a group of Mac Minis sitting in a network rack in our office, which the team accesses remotely. Hi everyone, my company has a team that works with OSX to build custom apps for one of the services we provide.
