Working with the RapidMiner Cloud repository
Once logged in, you have access to your new RapidMiner Cloud repository. Use it just like any other RapidMiner Studio repository. That is, store any data and processes you want to execute with RapidMiner Cloud in your Cloud repository. (While you can run processes from your Local repository, doing so causes the data to load into local memory first, nullifying the advantages of offloading data processing.)
The display next to your Cloud Repository shows how filled it is:
Now, go run a process!
If you don't yet have your own processes developed, the RapidMiner Cloud repository comes with an initial set of sample processes and data, suitable for testing the cloud connector operators and process executions.
