GPU Hardware

Multi-GPU NodesCivo CUDA image works on both single-GPU and multi-GPU instances
NVLinkNVLink fabric is relevant on H100 hosts; single-GPU H100 hosts require NVreg_NvLinkDisable=1 to avoid NVLink initialisation, and NVLink is left enabled when an NVLink switch is present on multi-GPU hosts
PCIe vs SXMThe document explicitly labels H100 and H200 GPUs as SXM variants

Performance & Scaling

Multi-Node TrainingIf you want to run GPU workloads on Kubernetes instead of a single instance, see GPU Clusters on Civo Kubernetes.
NVSwitchThe Civo CUDA image detects whether an NVLink Switch device is present on the host and disables NVLink on single-GPU hosts.

Key Strengths

Simple and predictable pricing
Claims up to 75% less costly than hyperscale cloud providers
Billing model described as cloud-optimised
Free core control plane components for Civo Kubernetes (only pay for worker nodes and paid addons)
Free & unlimited data transfer
Fast VM launches ("launching in under 60 seconds")
Multiple NVIDIA GPU types available and CUDA-ready disk images provided

Known Limitations

GPU compute is not available in every Civo region
Single-GPU H100 hosts require disabling NVLink (NVreg_NvLinkDisable=1) or using the Civo CUDA image to avoid NVIDIA driver/fabric initialization failures
