Connecting an external worker to a cloud deployment

Once you’ve got a cloud deployment running, you can connect external workers on your local machine.

Prerequisites

If you don’t have one running already, run a cloud deployment.
Open a terminal and navigate (cd) to the root directory of your project.
Set up a connection to the deployment by running spatial cloud connect external.
Connect a worker to the deployment by running:
```
spatial local worker launch <worker type> <launch_config>
```
where:
- worker type: the type of the worker. For example, MyCSharpClient.
- launch_config: the launch configuration file.
Run spatial local worker launch --help for more information.

For example, to start a MyCSharpClient using the default launch configuration file, run
```
spatial local worker launch MyCSharpClient default
```
