Workspaces

A workspace is your isolated “build room” inside AutoRABIT (ARM). Whenever you run an operation that needs local disk—such as EZ-Commit, a merge or a CI job—ARM spins up (or re-uses) a workspace linked to the repo/branch in question. That keeps files, temporary build artifacts, and logs separated per operation, so one task never overwrites another.

What Is a Workspace?

Think of a workspace as a containerized file system:

• It’s created (or re-attached) automatically when you start a commit, merge, or CI task.

• Multiple workspaces can exist side-by-side—one per concurrent job.

• If a matching workspace already exists, the new job re-uses it to save spin-up time.

Workspace Storage

• Every tenant receives 500 GB of workspace capacity.

• ARM emails admins when usage approaches the limit.

• Once the cap is hit, no new jobs can start until you increase the limit or delete idle workspaces.

Managing a Workspace

Only Org Administrators can view, reset, or delete workspaces.

Viewing the Workspace List

1. Log in to ARM.

2. Go to Admin › Workspaces.

   
3. The list shows every workspace ever created:

   

   Field

   Description

   Label

   Workspace name (auto-generated)

   Created On

   Timestamp of first creation

   Author

   User who owns the workspace

   Repo / Branch

   Git location tied to the workspace

   Status

   Running or Idle

   Module

   ARM feature that created it (EZ-Commit, CI Job, etc.)

   Last Used / Size

   Date of last activity and storage consumed

Resetting a Workspace

Reset wipes the folder contents but keeps the workspace record.

1. Find the workspace and click Reset.

2. Confirm to restore default state.

   

Deleting a Workspace

Delete removes the workspace permanently (repositories remain intact).

1. Click the trash-can icon next to the workspace.

2. Confirm twice—you cannot undo this.

   

   

Bulk-Deleting Inactive Workspaces

Free up space by purging all workspaces idle since a given date.

1. Click Settings.

   
2. Choose the cutoff date and confirm.

   

Workspace Configurations

Need more space? An Org Admin can request an increase.

• Super Admin logs in and opens Workspace Mgmt.

• Raise the tenant limit—maximum 1 TB (1000 GB)—based on subscription.

Once approved, the new cap takes effect instantly and users can resume jobs without deleting old workspaces.

Best Practices

• Clean up idle workspaces weekly to avoid hitting the limit.

• Reset instead of Delete if you just want a fresh working directory.

• Monitor the Last Used / Size column to spot abandoned, space-hogging workspaces early.
