Autoscaling, fast boots, and zero idle cost — the platform handles the hard parts.
The admission queue starts VMs automatically, in order, as cluster capacity frees up. No manual scheduling.
Learn about the queueVMs boot from pre-built images — Ubuntu, Python, C/C++ or Java — in seconds. Ready before the student finishes typing.
See the imagesStop a VM and billing stops that second. Credits are charged by the minute — you only pay for real compute.
How billing worksAttach fast network volumes to any VM in the cluster. Your files and environment persist across sessions.
Learn about volumesChoose Small, Medium or Large — by vCPU and memory — and a base image.
Boots in seconds. Connect over SSH or open VS Code in the browser.
Fair-share scheduling moves the class from queue to running fast.
The orchestrator reschedules VMs on node failure so workloads keep running.
The queue distributes VMs across nodes — no orchestration to build yourself.
CPU, memory and logs in real time. An in-browser terminal on every VM.
Everything you need to know about running on Hopper.
Small, Medium and Large — sized by vCPU and memory. A VM reserves a quarter of its plan’s CPU and bursts to the full limit whenever cores are idle.
