# Variation of mip1.py, with a focus on remote services
#
# When remote resources are tied to the optimization process, such as a token
# server, compute server, or Instant Cloud, extra care should be taken to
# ensure that such resources are released once they are no longer needed.
# Technically, such resources are managed by a gurobipy.Env object
# ("environment").  This example shows best practices for acquiring and
# releasing such shared resources via Env objects.
#
# See also https://www.gurobi.com/documentation/9.1/refman/environments.html
