Machines
machines manages guest fleets: create a fleet with a desired count, describe it, then scale up or down through the API.
Status: Preview — CreateFleet, UpdateDesiredCount, and DescribeFleet against live regional hosts. Fleet desired specs persist in tables. Automatic guest boot on metal (closed-loop with the host agent) is coming soon.
