5 available regions

Place your Cloud Mac closer to your team and workloads

Dedicated physical Apple Silicon machines are available in Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, and the US West in three configurations. Compare remote desktop latency first, then choose a node based on your code repository, test market, and CI/CD time zone.

Five nodes, one clear decision framework

All five regions offer VMOwn M4 Core, VMOwn M4 Plus, and VMOwn M4 Pro Max. The main differences are network paths, team time zones, and service integration locations—not the hardware catalog.

SG

Singapore

A good fit for Southeast Asian teams, regional application testing, and cross-border collaboration. Routes between southern China and Singapore often also provide responsive remote desktop access.

Japan (Tokyo)

A good fit for Japan-market integration, developers around Tokyo, and Northeast Asian teams. If you frequently use the Xcode GUI, compare measured results from Tokyo and Seoul first.

South Korea (Seoul)

A good fit for Korean teams, Seoul test markets, and Northeast Asian build workloads. For developers in Seoul, graphical sessions and large-file synchronization typically follow shorter network paths.

Hong Kong

A good fit for teams in southern China, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and cross-border operations. If remote desktop interaction is your main workload, compare Hong Kong with Tokyo, Seoul, Singapore, and the US West using your own network.

Selection principles

Do not rely on map distance—follow the full workflow

Remote desktops depend on interactive round trips, while continuous integration depends more on code pulls, dependency downloads, and artifact uploads. Map the paths between developers, repositories, test services, and execution nodes before choosing a region.

Developer location

Keep interactive desktops close to the operator

When you frequently drag windows, edit interfaces, and debug applications, round-trip latency directly affects usability. Test Hong Kong, Tokyo, Seoul, Singapore, and the US West from the developer’s actual network, and use those results as your guide.

Code repository

Keep build nodes close to dependencies and artifact destinations

Large repositories, binary dependencies, and frequent artifact uploads amplify the cost of cross-region transfer. For pure CI/CD workloads, prioritize a node near your code host and artifact services rather than the operator.

Test market

Place the node in the target market for regional integration

Network behavior can differ for services in Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, and the US. Choosing the matching region reduces cross-region variables and better reflects the target user path for API integration, content loading, and regional testing.

Interactive latency

Use continuous sampling instead of a single speed test

A single ping cannot represent an entire day of network performance. Sample repeatedly during actual working hours, then use the remote desktop to scroll, enter text, switch windows, and transfer files to assess jitter and stability together.

Latency reference

Median round-trip latency from eight test locations to five nodes

Use these figures to narrow your options initially; they are not a fixed-route guarantee. Carrier networks, cross-border routing, access methods, and local network load can all change the results. Test again from your actual work network before ordering.

Test network Local commercial wired broadband; no acceleration route used
Time window Samples collected at intervals from 10:00–18:00 on local business days

Asia-Pacific nodes

Four team distributions, four common remote development paths

Asia-Pacific nodes are not simply grouped by country. The same team may choose Hong Kong, Tokyo, Seoul, Singapore, or the US West depending on the locations of desktop operators, code repositories, and test services.

SG

Singapore: Southeast Asia collaboration and regional pipelines

A good fit for teams with members in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and nearby regions. If your dependencies and test environments are also in Southeast Asia, Singapore can shorten paths for dependency downloads and API integration.

  • A shared, stable development baseline for distributed teams
  • Application and API testing for Southeast Asian markets
  • Nightly automated builds and batch testing
Compare firstHong Kong, Singapore
JP

Tokyo: Japan-market work and interactive Xcode development

A good fit for Japan-based developers, product teams serving Japanese users, and remote development that requires frequent GUI interaction. Teams elsewhere in Asia should verify cross-border routing first.

  • Integration with Japan-region services, content, and network behavior
  • Xcode editing, simulator debugging, and log inspection
  • Self-hosted build runners for Japanese teams
Compare firstTokyo, Seoul
KR

Seoul: Korean teams and Northeast Asian automation

A good fit for Korea-based development, Korean-market testing, and workloads whose repositories or dependency services are in Northeast Asia. The short path between Seoul and Tokyo also supports cross-region build collaboration.

  • Validation of Korean-region applications and API environments
  • Hybrid remote desktop and SSH development
  • Automated signing, packaging, and testing pipelines
Compare firstSeoul, Tokyo
HK

Hong Kong: Southern China teams and cross-border remote desktops

A good fit for developers in southern China, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, as well as teams collaborating across Asia. For desktop-intensive work, Hong Kong is often a low-latency candidate, but test it with your actual carrier.

  • Frequent text entry, window switching, and debugging
  • Team code synchronization and build artifact transfers
  • A centralized development node for services across Asia
Compare firstHong Kong, Tokyo, Seoul, Singapore, US West
US West node

Keep Americas service integration and cross-time-zone builds in one region

The US West node is designed for teams in the Americas, US-region services, and cross-time-zone CI/CD workloads. It may not suit Asian developers who perform frequent GUI operations, but it works well for SSH management and background builds that push artifacts to services in the same region.

Node selection changes the network path, not the hardware specifications for that configuration. Before ordering, also confirm the rental term, storage expansion, and Thunderbolt 5 daisy-chaining requirements.

Cross-region migration

Changing nodes requires a new order and verifiable data migration

A physical node cannot switch regions like a virtual instance. Create a new order in the target region, migrate code, dependencies, build artifacts, and signing materials, then switch workflows after validation.

  1. 01

    Document the current environment

    Export the macOS version, Xcode version, command-line tools, dependency lockfiles, environment variable names, and pipeline configuration so you do not have to reconstruct the environment from memory.

  2. 02

    Back up critical data

    Push code to a controlled repository and separately back up uncommitted changes, build artifacts, cache manifests, certificates, and provisioning profiles. Do not store private keys or complete passwords in migration records.

  3. 03

    Create an order for the target node

    Select the new region, the same or upgraded configuration, and the required rental term in the console. Keep the source node until the target node passes toolchain and access validation.

  4. 04

    Rebuild and validate the workflow

    Install dependencies and import required signing materials. Validate SSH, graphical sessions, project builds, automated tests, and artifact uploads in sequence, recording differences from the source node.

  5. 05

    Switch workloads and clean up the source node

    Move build runners and team entry points to the new node. Once you confirm that the repository is fully synchronized, handle the old order. Avoid writing to the same local state on both sides during migration.

Start deployment

Narrow the options by latency, then choose a node by workload

Select Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, or the US West in the console, then configure the rental term and add-ons. Region and delivery status are based on the live result returned when you submit the order.
