Compute & Deployment

On-DemandGet on-demand access to a variety of GPUs and AI accelerators, including NVIDIA B300, Intel Gaudi 3 and AMD MI300X.
Spot / InterruptibleSpot instances are highly discounted versions of the standard instances. They are designed to use available compute resources for interruptible or stateless workloads. Spot instances can be preempted (or evicted) at any time.
Bare MetalStorage dense x2de and x3de profiles for Bare Metal on VPC (select availability)
VM-BasedVirtual Servers for VPC
Container-Basedcontainer management tools from Red Hat OpenShift and IBM Code Engine
Terraformsupports creation with Terraform

GPU Hardware

Latest GenGet on-demand access to a variety of GPUs and AI accelerators, including NVIDIA B300, Intel Gaudi 3 and AMD MI300X.
Multi-GPU NodesWhen you use the B300 virtual server profile it is powered by the NVIDIA HGX B300{: external} server and provides high-performance GPU capabilities for AI workloads such as fine tuning and large-scale training.
PCIe vs SXMGPU A100 PCIe virtual server profiles now available (select availability) : The A100 PCIe GPU virtual server profiles are now available in the Washington DC (us-east), Frankfurt (eu-de), London (eu-gb), and Tokyo (jp-tok) regions.
HGX PlatformThe Hopper-1 network profile supports both H100 and H200 instance profiles.
