Hi Rohit, I see, thank you.
Ive just briefly checked other MacOS Metal As A Service Companies, and it seems they achieve this by giving customers access to the Mac directly via VNC. So it doesnt seem to have any integration with cloud. https://flow.swiss/mac-bare-metal I suppose we can do the same, and physically establish routes from our Cloudstack VPC to the MacMini.
