How many FME engines does FME Cloud provide for running workspaces?

• A. A choice of two, four, or eight
• B. It depends on the virtual machine specifications
• C. It depends on the FME license chosen
• D. There are unlimited engines

Answer: (D)

FME Cloud scales processing by adding engines. An engine is a running instance that executes a workspace, and you can spin up as many of them as you need to handle parallel workstreams. There isn’t a fixed cap on how many engines you can run; the platform is designed to scale out, so the number isn’t tied to a specific virtual machine size or a single license. The practical limits come from cost and cloud quotas, not a hard product limit. That’s why the best answer reflects unlimited engines—the service is built to let you deploy more engines as your workload requires.
