Machines is planned as long-running virtual machine fleets with a desired capacity, including a count of zero. It is not available yet.

For short request/response code today, use Functions. For GitHub Actions jobs, use Deploy Runner.

Status: Preview stub — not available yet.

Intended contract

• A fleet groups compute under one desired configuration.
• Desired capacity expresses how many instances should run, including zero.
• Managed image names such as skippr-ubuntu-24.04-x64 select a platform image. You do not configure host paths.
• The platform chooses placement; customers do not select infrastructure nodes.
• Fleet inspection is intended to report desired and observed capacity.
