Scaleway have an API that could realistically be driven through a CI process. Assuming the idea is to do automated testing, and to destroy instances when done, the cost is likely to be pretty low.
- vbezhenar 6y agoApple does not allow renting Macs less than 24 hours.
- hkt 6y agoThe page specifies the price is hourly and doesn't seem to list that restriction. Could you please link to where it is specified? Edit: I don't think you're right. I've checked the Scaleway console and it appears the minimum unit of billing for this is one hour. I'd check, but they're out of stock. Second edit: I missed the part where it says 24 hour minimum period on the instance setup page: "As required by Apple License, you must keep this instance at least 24 hours. You will be able to delete it only after 24 hours."
- dmlittle 6y agoHere[1] is the license for BigSur. The relevant section is 3.A.(ii). This clause was added for BigSur so I _think_ that if you're leasing a VPS with macOS Catalina or older you can legally rent it for less than 24 hours.

I guess as long as it doesn't hurt Apple they didn't come after you.

- usrusr 6y agoMakes me wonder how they draw the line between renting a Mac and providing a service which happens to run on a Mac. I guess I know the answer (arbitrarily).
