Singapore
For clients and code or artifact services across Southeast Asia. Ideal for remote connections from Singapore, Malaysia, and nearby networks.
Physical node map
Choose a Cloud Mac node by inventory and measured latency
MiniDeploy Cloud Mac offers dedicated physical machines in Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, and the US West. Each tenant uses an entire Mac mini without sharing its chip, memory, or local storage with other tenants—and these are not virtual machines.
For interactive remote Mac desktops, start with round-trip latency. Automated builds also depend on the locations of your code repository, dependency mirrors, and artifact storage. The inventory snapshot and standardized ping data below help you choose a region before ordering.
Available regions
Five regions, one dedicated specification
Regions affect network paths, current inventory, and data migration distance—not the base M4 Core hardware specification. Choose the node, lease term, and add-ons at checkout; after payment confirmation, resource locking and system initialization begin.
Tokyo, Japan
For development access in Japan and Northeast Asia. Remote Xcode, VNC sessions, and Japan-based CI links typically achieve more stable latency here.
Seoul, South Korea
For users in South Korea and nearby regions. Well suited to build workflows whose code services, dependency caches, and team members are mainly in Korea.
Hong Kong
For interactive remote work in Hong Kong and nearby regions. Ideal for daily development involving frequent use of graphical interfaces, terminals, and Xcode.
US West
For North American West Coast teams and local code-service links. Best when build triggers, dependency sources, and artifact destinations are concentrated in the US West.
Inventory note:This matrix is a snapshot taken at publication and does not reserve resources. Availability at order submission is returned in real time by the console. Even when a node shows availability, complete payment promptly to enter the resource-locking stage.
Selection logic
Assess interaction first, then data location
A single node may not be ideal for both remote desktop use and automated builds. Break down the workload first: interactive work depends on input-to-display response time, while background pipelines depend on total pull, cache, and upload time.
Remote Mac desktop
When working continuously in Xcode, the terminal, or a media timeline, prioritize a region with low and stable client-to-node round-trip latency. Median values are useful for initial screening but cannot replace testing on your local network.
- ≤40 ms: Usually suitable for frequent keyboard and mouse interaction.
- 41–80 ms: Usable for development; consider lowering resolution and color depth.
- >80 ms: Better suited to command-line or background tasks; validate graphical interaction first.
CI/CD builds
Pipelines should not be assigned solely by the developer's city. When repositories, dependency caches, test data, and artifact storage span regions, network transfer can take longer than compilation itself.
- Record the time for a complete task: code checkout, dependency restoration, build, and artifact upload.
- Keep the largest inputs or outputs as close as possible to the Cloud Mac node.
- Keep the original runner until migration is verified, including at least one parallel validation and artifact check.
Region matrix
M4 Core node availability matrix
Green indicates that ordering can begin right away. Actual availability is determined by the real-time inventory returned by the console.
| Model | Singapore | Tokyo, Japan | Seoul, South Korea | Hong Kong | US West |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M4 Core M4 · 16GB · 256GB | Available | Available | Available | Available | Available |
Specification limits:M4 Core is fixed at Mac Mini M4, 16GB RAM, and 256GB SSD. At order time, you can select +1TB SSD, +2TB SSD, or Thunderbolt 5 expansion add-ons; compatibility depends on current resources in the target region.
Order based on current inventoryLatency table
Measured latency from major client cities to each node
Values are median ICMP round-trip times in milliseconds. Each path sent 100 packets continuously; calculations exclude the first sample. Testing took place during local 20:00–22:00.
| Client city | Access provider type | Singapore | Tokyo | Seoul | Hong Kong | US West |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Singapore | Local fixed broadband | 6 ms | 68 ms | 74 ms | 35 ms | 171 ms |
| Tokyo | Local fixed broadband | 72 ms | 5 ms | 34 ms | 48 ms | 109 ms |
| Seoul | Local fixed broadband | 79 ms | 31 ms | 5 ms | 42 ms | 132 ms |
| Hong Kong | Local fixed broadband | 37 ms | 47 ms | 40 ms | 4 ms | 151 ms |
| Los Angeles | Local fixed broadband | 176 ms | 111 ms | 137 ms | 154 ms | 9 ms |
| San Francisco | Business fixed broadband | 169 ms | 105 ms | 128 ms | 146 ms | 12 ms |
How to use this data:Choose two candidate nodes with lower latency for the client's city, then run continuous tests over the actual work network during peak and off-peak hours. For remote desktop, also monitor jitter and packet loss; for CI/CD, test code checkout and artifact upload throughput.
Limitations:ICMP values do not represent complete application-layer time for VNC, SSH, or file transfers. Client Wi-Fi, inter-network routing, enterprise proxies, resolution, and background synchronization can all change the final experience.
Regional fit
Workflow priorities: three common deployment paths
Node selection is not simply about geographic proximity. Team members, code entry points, and artifact destinations may be in different regions. Below are three common deployment paths and checks to complete before ordering.
JP / TYO
Available
Tokyo, Japan: Northeast Asia remote development gateway
The Tokyo node suits teams mainly in Japan or workloads requiring remote Mac desktop access from Northeast Asia. Median latency from test endpoints in Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, and US West is 5 ms,31 ms and 47 ms.
- Ideal for continuous work in Xcode, the terminal, and the macOS graphical interface.
- When code and dependency services are in Japan, it can reduce pre-build data-transfer distance.
- Check real team-network jitter and packet loss during evening peak hours before ordering.
US-W
Available
US West: North American team and code gateway
The US West node suits workloads whose team members, repository access points, or artifact storage are concentrated on the North American West Coast. Median latency from test endpoints in Los Angeles and San Francisco is 9 ms and 12 ms.
- Ideal for remote Xcode development and self-hosted runners used by West Coast teams.
- When large dependencies or artifacts are in North America, it can shorten pipeline transfer stages.
- Teams in Asia should validate the trans-Pacific interactive experience first.
HK
Available
Hong Kong: Interactive work gateway for nearby regions
The Hong Kong node suits remote desktop work in Hong Kong and nearby regions. Median latency from test endpoints in Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, and US West is 4 ms,35 ms,42 ms and 48 ms.
- Ideal for development tasks that frequently switch between graphical interfaces, terminals, and project files.
- Start remote desktop sessions at higher image quality, then adjust progressively as network conditions fluctuate.
- Schedule large-file synchronization outside interactive work periods to reduce its impact on screen responsiveness.
SG and KR
Singapore and Seoul node notes
These two regions are commonly used for Southeast Asian and South Korean workflows. Before switching regions, compare more than ping and confirm that data, toolchains, and automation entry points can be migrated completely.
Singapore
AvailableCommon coverage includes Singapore, Malaysia, and nearby Southeast Asian clients. Median latency from the Singapore test endpoint to the node is 6 ms; from Hong Kong it is 37 ms.
Suitable for regional remote desktops, command-line tasks, and CI builds. If build dependencies or artifact storage are in Northeast Asia, also measure download and upload times rather than choosing solely on low latency.
Seoul, South Korea
AvailableCommon coverage includes South Korea and nearby Northeast Asian clients. Median latency from the Seoul test endpoint to the node is 5 ms, while from Tokyo it is 34 ms.
Suited to remote development and build workloads for South Korea and Northeast Asia. Before working across regions, confirm that data, toolchains, and automation entry points can be migrated completely instead of assuming data can be moved wholesale at any time.
Backup acceptance before switching regions
- Project data:Verify that code, uncommitted changes, build scripts, test data, and media assets have all been copied to controlled storage.
- Toolchain configuration:Record versions of macOS, Xcode, command-line tools, package managers, and automation scripts, then export a reproducible installation manifest.
- Access credentials:Confirm that temporary keys, deployment credentials, and CI variables can be reissued on the target node instead of copying unrelated long-lived permissions.
- Artifact validation:Compare sizes or checksums for archives, installers, logs, and model outputs to confirm that content is consistent before and after migration.
- Rollback criteria:Keep the original node until validation is complete. End the old lease only after at least one remote connection, full build, and artifact return have succeeded.
Migration notice
Revalidate four variables before cross-region migration
Changing nodes changes the network path and data location. Target inventory is only the starting point; latency, synchronization time, CI source restrictions, and access policies all require renewed checks.
Target inventory
Confirm in the console that the target region is still selectable before scheduling migration. Static page status is for initial screening only and cannot replace the resource-locking result at order submission.
Connection latency
Test separately from each major client location rather than using one city to represent the entire team. Record median and peak latency, jitter, and packet loss during actual working hours.
Synchronization time
Divide the total data volume to migrate by measured effective throughput, allowing time for verification and retransmission. For large projects, sync unchanged data first and handle the final delta during cutover.
CI access sources
Check whether code entry points, dependency services, and artifact destinations restrict source addresses. After migration, rerun runner registration, cache warm-up, and full-pipeline validation.
Recommended cutover order:Confirm inventory → create the target node → sync data and toolchain → test remote access → run the full CI pipeline → validate artifacts → update access policies → then handle the original node. Do not end the original lease before accepting the target node.
Choose a physical node
Order with your node, lease term, and add-ons
Confirm that the target region is available before ordering. Choose a daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly M4 Core lease, and verify storage and Thunderbolt 5 expansion needs. After payment confirmation, resource locking, system preparation, and credential issuance take about 4 minutes in total.
