Resizing Disk, CPU and Memory

Trainers can adjust the initial resources provisioned for the Fresh-Start Desktop. This comes in handy when you realize the course demands more CPU, memory, or storage to handle extra programs or software.

To modify these settings, ensure the Fresh-Start desktop is stopped beforehand. Click the gear icon and choose either “Stop” or “Force-Stop” to halt the desktop.

 

With the desktop now stopped, you’re able to resize its allocated resources. Click the gear icon, then head to advanced > Resize (ram, cpu, disk).

Selecting that will bring up the Resize form, where you can re-allocate the CPU, RAM, or storage your desktop needs. The form clearly shows the maximum allowed for each resource.

Do keep in mind that these changes will affect the desktop’s cost, but it’s best to assign what you need so the course runs without a hitch.
