IncrediBuild Cloud enables you to use cloud-based Virtual Machines (VMs) to infinitely increase the number of cores you can use for executing tasks, without needing to install in advance any Helper Agent on on-premises or cloud machine or launch and maintain any cloud resource. For using IncrediBuild Cloud, all you need is the basic package of IncrediBuild and an active cloud account. IncrediBuild Cloud automatically launches and terminates VMs on the cloud according to your on-going needs. This solution not only accelerates your development cycles, but also saves you major cloud resource costs, which are otherwise incurred for running your tasks over a cloud environment. In addition, you do not need to purchase in advance IncrediBuild licenses for machines that will participate as Helper Agents in the IncrediBuild environment. You pay only for what you actually need and use. Once you activate IncrediBuild Cloud, IncrediBuild automatically creates for you on the cloud a set of VMs that will act as Helper Agents. These VMs are moved into a Sleep state after their creation, and are placed in IncrediBuild pool on the cloud. When IncrediBuild Coordinator sends a request for available cores, the VMs in the pool are activated according to the number of requested cores. This mechanism significantly decreases the amount of time that is needed for providing available cores for task execution, in comparison to launching new VMs from scratch each time a request is made. Furthermore, by keeping the VMs in a Sleep state instead of a running mode, your cloud costs are reduced dramatically. IncrediBuild Cloud enables you to define the number of VMs that will be included in the pool. If the need arises and the acceleration of your tasks requires more cores than the ones that are available in the pool, IncrediBuild Cloud will launch for you additional VMs, and will terminate them upon the completion of the task execution. IncrediBuild Coordinator Monitor displays the current activity of your resources on the cloud, and provides you with additional information on the VMs that serve as Helper Agents. It also allows you to manage your IncrediBuild Cloud solution according to your changing needs. Setting Up Your IncrediBuild Cloud Solution: IncrediBuild Cloud can be used in a pure cloud environment or a hybrid-cloud environment. The Coordinator and Initiator Agents can be placed on both an on-premises machine or on a cloud-based Virtual Machine (VM). This architecture offers you the flexibility of setting up your IncrediBuild infrastructure in a way that is most suited to your needs.
