I wonder what the internal experience is like SSHing into one of these Apple Cloud Server boxes.
I mean, sure, it’s similar to what you’d surely get running Terminal.app, but I mean I doubt Apple engineers are doing some internal equivalent of apt when they need something.
There’s brew, but it would be… awkward if that’s what they used in their private cloud fleet.
- tensor 2y agoPresumably they build .pkg or .mpkg files and use those?
- saagarjha 2y agoThey can’t SSH into those machines.
- JimDabell 2y agoApple’s article on how their Private Cloud Compute system works is a good read if you are interested in the details. > First, we intentionally did not include remote shell or interactive debugging mechanisms on the PCC node. Our Code Signing machinery prevents such mechanisms from loading additional code, but this sort of open-ended access would provide a broad attack surface to subvert the system’s security or privacy. Beyond simply not including a shell, remote or otherwise, PCC nodes cannot enable Developer Mode and do not include the tools needed by debugging workflows. — https://security.apple.com/blog/private-cloud-compute/ https://security.apple.com/blog/private-cloud-compute/
