AppPlaceholder

The AppPlaceholder represents the "Compute Placeholder" record and is an essential component designed to allow the user to control the cost-latency tradeoff when running applications. You can specify any number of virtual machines to be kept running in anticipation of use. Placeholders are tied to a compute profile. They ensure that if you launch an app with that compute profile, the placeholder will be used.

# Initialize placeholder

    uid='049dbcfc-8ec6-11ee-8e98-1388c5d96f68',
    name='medium',
    profile_id='edge.medium',
    quantity=1,
    disable=False
)
