Compute Instance

We are now ready to launch a compute instance with GPUs in a workspace.

Create Compute Instance

  • In the Compute Instances menu, click on New Compute Instance.
  • The user will be presented with the "small" SKU that was published by the PaaS Project Admin in the prior step.

New Compute Instance

Now, click on Select. This will now require the user to enter the following details:

  • Unique name for the instance
  • Description (optional)
  • Select the workspace where you would like to deploy this instance (e.g. qa)

In the example below, we have selected the "small" SKU which will give us access to 1 GPU and 1 CPU, 1GB Memory etc.

New Compute Instance Configure

The deployment of a compute instance can take a few minutes. Once it is deployed, it will look like the following:

List of Compute Instances

Note

Unless the compute profile backing the compute instance is configured as a dedicated resource, all compute instances are isolated, virtual clusters that are deployed onto a shared, multi-tenant host Kubernetes cluster.

Secure, Remote Access of Compute Instance

Users can remotely access the remote compute instances using Rafay's Zero Trust Kubectl. They can access these instances either via an "integrated browser shell" in the Rafay Platform or by downloading a kubeconfig file and using it with the Kubectl CLI utility.
