Compute orchestrationConsumers
Cloud agents
Provision provider instances with rendered startup scripts, run the same claim loop, and terminate after work.
Cloud agents — contract and behavior
- The scheduler sizes an instance for the queued workload and renders the pinned startup agent script.
- Cloud agents join the same queue and capacity contract as local agents rather than using a parallel scheduler.
- Startup dependencies are pinned for known compatibility reasons and should not be loosened without reviewing the configuration runbook.
- Terminal job state and output land before instance deletion so lifecycle teardown does not erase evidence.
