MMCloud has several components that interact with cloud services to ensure mobility for submitted jobs so that, for example, jobs run to completion on Spot Instances.

To use MMCloud, you need an account with a Cloud Service Provider.

Containers provide a standardized and repeatable way to package, deploy, and manage applications in the cloud.

MMCloud includes a job scheduler for running batch jobs in the cloud.

OpCenter provides a web interface to activate the license and to submit and manage jobs.

The web interface provides a form that you complete to submit a job.

Use the MMCloud CLI to submit a job.

The Memory Machine Cloud web interface and CLI have a rich set of options that allow you to customize the container runtime environment.

SpotSurfer removes the risk of running stateful applications on Spot Instances while reducing costs significantly.

When enabled, WaveRider allows OpCenter to manage cloud resources by moving jobs to optimally-sized virtual machines.

Allowed virtual machine types can be restricted to a user-defined list.

Authentication methods can be arranged hierarchically.

The gateway service provides a reverse proxy so that a job can migrate from one host to another without interrupting client connections.

Service templates simplify the procedure for submitting jobs that include many options.

A job that generates file system I/O requires a definition for one or more file systems.

If a later version of OpCenter software is available, an OpCenter instance can be upgraded even if jobs are currently running.

Use the float CLI commands to interact with the OpCenter; for example, to submit and manage jobs.
