# Key Terms

## **General Terminology**

### Container

A **Container** refers to a cloud-hosted Virtual Machine (VM) that serves as a development environment owned by the user. It is the primary unit where coding, testing, and debugging occur.

### Templates

The **Templates** consist of example files and pre-installed software packages that are automatically generated within a container. You can use these templates to quickly start a new project with the necessary configurations.

### Workspace

The **Workspace** is the IDE(Integrated Development Environment) where developers create and manage their projects. It includes various development tools and utilities for efficient project development.

### Credits

**Credits** are the virtual currency required to use containers. As you utilize your container and AI features, credits are deducted accordingly.

### **Membership** 

**Membership** refers to Arkain's paid plan designed for users who want to create large projects with enhanced features and advanced benefits compared to the Free Plan.

## **Workspace Elements**

### Arkain Snap

**Arkain Snap** is an AI assistant that turns ideas into reality. Using just natural language, it automates the initial setup of container development environments, and for simple ideas, it creates prototypes just by making a request.

### [Auto-stop](/user-guide/dashboard/container/container-management/container-settings/auto-stop.md)

**Auto-stop** shuts down containers after 30-40 minutes when the container's owner closes all Workspace browsers. This feature prevents unnecessary credit use and allows you to use the service more efficiently.
