Launcher Overview

Note

The "Launcher" feature was introduced in RStudio Workbench 1.2 and is only available under named user licensing. RStudio Workbench 1.2 without Launcher is available under existing server-based licensing. For questions about using Launcher with RStudio Workbench, please contact sales@rstudio.com.

RStudio Workbench with Launcher allows you to run R sessions and background jobs on external cluster resource managers.

RStudio Workbench 1.2.5 and newer versions include plugins for running R sessions and background jobs on Kubernetes or Slurm clusters.

In addition to Kubernetes and Slurm, Launcher can be extended to work with other cluster resource managers using its pluggable architecture.
