Cross-Region Node Routing

6 Cloud Mac Nodes—Choose by Real Access Path

OpsVM offers Cloud Mac dedicated physical machines in Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, the US East Coast, and the US West Coast. Each order corresponds to one physical node, not a virtual machine. Teams can choose a region based on office networks, code repositories, artifact storage, and target markets.

Available Nodes
6 regions
Available Configurations
3 physical machine tiers
Operating Model
365 days of normal operation
Numbered network ports on a machine-room patch panel
Region Directory APAC 4 · US 2

Node relationships show the directory and access direction, not guaranteed latency. Make the final choice based on retesting from your actual office network.

Node Overview

6 fixed regions—start with the access direction

The same model offers identical chip, memory, storage, and billing terms in every region. Regional differences mainly come from the network path between your team and the node, plus the locations of repositories, dependency sources, and artifact destinations.

SG

Singapore

Southeast Asia access direction

JP

Japan (Tokyo)

Japan and East Asia access direction

KR

South Korea (Seoul)

South Korea and Northeast Asia access direction

HK

Hong Kong

South China and Southeast Asia access direction

US-E

US East Coast

North America East Coast and Western Europe access direction

US-W

US West Coast

North America West Coast access direction

Asia-Pacific Nodes

Four directions covering East and Southeast Asian development paths

Start by filtering for your team’s primary office locations, then check whether repository pulls, dependency downloads, device testing, and artifact uploads cross unnecessarily long network paths.

SG Southeast Asia

Singapore

Best for teams whose main members are in Southeast Asia, or whose releases, dependency mirrors, and artifact storage are concentrated in that direction. Test remote Xcode sessions and CI uploads separately; a single browser speed test is not enough.

Check First
The peak-hour route from the office network to the node
Typical Workflows
Swift development, automated testing, regional releases
Selection Boundary
If most of the team is in Northeast Asia, retest both Tokyo and Seoul
JP Tokyo

Japan (Tokyo)

Best for development in Japan, releases targeting the Japanese market, and Xcode build jobs that run continuously in the East Asia time zone. Pay particular attention to interactive-session jitter and large artifact transfer speeds.

Check First
SSH round-trip time and graphical input response
Typical Workflows
Daily development, signing checks, artifact exports
Selection Boundary
If the repository is in another region, also test cloning and cache downloads
KR Seoul

South Korea (Seoul)

Best for teams in South Korea, Northeast Asian collaboration, and automated builds. If your workflow frequently downloads dependencies or uploads test packages, record total task time alongside individual ping results.

Check First
Persistent connection stability and packet loss
Typical Workflows
Parallel testing, continuous integration, version validation
Selection Boundary
Cross-region collaborators should retest separately from their own networks
HK Hong Kong

Hong Kong

Best for cross-border development between South China and Southeast Asia, and for builds that need to stay close to regional repositories and artifact services. Routes can vary significantly by carrier, so record wired and Wi-Fi results separately.

Check First
Your team’s actual carrier route across regions
Typical Workflows
Remote development, code synchronization, automated processing
Selection Boundary
Do not use mobile-network results as a substitute for a fixed office network
US Nodes

Two cross-time-zone paths—without inventing extra cities

The US East Coast and US West Coast are two separate available regions. Choose based on the overall locations of collaborators, repositories, testing services, and release targets—not just the lowest latency for one team member.

US-E
North America East Coast

US East Coast

Best for teams whose members, repositories, or release systems are mainly located on the US East Coast or in Western Europe. Cross-time-zone pipelines can continue running tests, signing checks, and artifact generation after the team goes offline.

  • Verify median SSH latency and packet loss from the US East Coast office network.
  • Measure the time required to fully clone the repository and restore dependency caches.
  • Record average artifact upload speed and failed-upload retries to the target release path.
US-W
North America West Coast

US West Coast

Best for teams whose collaborators, code services, or target markets are mainly on the North America West Coast, and for relay builds between Asia-Pacific and North America. The US West Coast is offered as one region and is not split into other available nodes.

  • Test real office networks for both Asia-Pacific and US West Coast team members.
  • Compare how interactive Xcode use and unattended CI tolerate latency differently.
  • Retest during the target CI window instead of collecting data only during low-load periods.

Don’t estimate ping—record verifiable results using one method

This table is a template for measured results. Cells without real network samples are marked “Not tested”; no figures are generated from geographic distance. After testing, save the date, network environment, sample count, median, and packet-loss rate.

Network Environment Fixed office network; wired preferred

01

Use a Consistent Test Entry Point

Use the same office device, access method, and network egress. Disable temporary proxies that could change routing, and record whether the connection is wired, Wi-Fi, or mobile.

02

Collect a Complete Sample

Collect 20 consecutive samples for each candidate node, rather than keeping only the lowest value. Record the median, maximum variation, and packet-loss rate.

03

Retest Real Tasks

Add SSH login, repository cloning, dependency downloads, test builds, and artifact transfers. Ping shows only the round-trip path; it cannot replace workflow timing.

04

Cover the Target Time Windows

Test at least once during normal development hours and once during the target CI window. Cross-region routes change with carrier routing and time of day, so one result is not enough to choose a region.

Node Selection Method

Narrow the region first, then validate with complete tasks

The shortest geographic distance is not always the best workflow. Routing, repository location, dependency caches, artifact storage, and collaborator distribution can all change the final result.

  1. 01

    Filter by Team Location

    List where members who need graphical remote access, SSH operations, and build-log monitoring are located. Members with the most frequent interaction should get the most stable route.

  2. 02

    Check Code and Dependency Paths

    Record the locations of code repositories, dependency mirrors, and cache services. For cold-start pipelines, cloning and dependency restoration may take longer than compilation itself.

  3. 03

    Check Artifacts and Target Markets

    Confirm where test packages, archives, and automated-processing results are ultimately uploaded. When large files frequently cross regions, include throughput and failed-transfer retries in the comparison.

  4. 04

    Compare Like-for-Like Measurements

    Run the same commands, use the same repository, and perform the same build task on candidate nodes. Record median latency, packet loss, total task time, and interactive experience.

Regional Order Entry Points

Once the direction is clear, enter the matching region

Each of the 6 entry points explains its region’s access direction. Actual availability is returned live by the console; when ordering, you still need to select a model, term, and any required add-ons.

Testing Guide

Retest on the Real Office Network and During the Target CI Window

Network results are affected by carrier routing, access method, cross-region links, time of day, and local network load. Node directions narrow the candidate list but do not guarantee fixed network results. Before committing to a long-term workflow, retest on the networks your team actually uses and complete at least one repository clone, dependency restore, test build, and artifact transfer.

Choose one of the 3 available models, the rental term, and the region. All nodes operate normally year-round, 365 days a year; actual availability is returned live by the console.
