Using BYOC to improve build time
Hello,
I'm trying to use BYOC to improve the (too) long build time of our project (> 45 min, 3 jobs), which already uses the 2 concurrent jobs of the Premium account.
We are building only on Windows so far, so I followed this guide https://www.appveyor.com/docs/byoc/windows/ and I could add a my laptop as a "cloud" (Windows) on our account. The status is "Active" and the agent is running on the laptop, so it looks good.
However, no build is starting by default, so I checked the variable "build_cloud" in appveyor.yml and I have set it to the cloud name of my laptop. But then it seems to *only* start builds on my machine, no longer on the Appveyor cloud. How can I do to have builds being evenly split between the Appveyor Cloud and my local machine ? (i.e. same behavior as if there were 3 same workers)
Thank you and best regards !

Hi Alexandre,
To be able to evenly distribute builds between multiple clouds these clouds should belong to the same "distribution group". However, you can't group together AppVeyor system cloud and your own.
