Why is an APP needed to start a machine?

All I care about is having an instantly spawnable machine and I don’t understand why I should create a new app everytime I want to spawn a machine.

My usecase is around AI agents, and I plan to execute code generated by agents and provide agents with a virtual machine they can use to do their shit. (Think of devin on a virtual VM).

I don’t care about apps for any reason.

fly machine clone will create a new machine in an existing app

fly scale will create multiple machines in an existing app

fly machine run will create a new machine in an existing app with a number of different parameters that you can specify on the command line.

Create a machine is an API that will create a new machine in an existing app with a number of parameters that you can specify in the request.

Do any of these meet your needs?
