GPU Orchestration Platform for AI Cloud Providers

Deliver isolated, CNCF-certified tenant clusters on shared GPU hardware in seconds. vCluster virtualizes Kubernetes control planes so you scale without provisioning separate physical clusters.

Trusted by the fastest-growing AI cloud providers
Problem

Why GPU Clouds Stall at Scale

The real bottleneck is not hardware. It is the infrastructure layer above it.

Raw Compute Is Not Enough

Selling bare metal GPUs alone is a race to the bottom. Customers want the cloud experience your hyperscaler competitors already offer.

DIY Platforms Take Too Long

Based on industry experience, building a GPU cloud platform typically requires 6 to 10 engineers, 6 to 12 months, and over a million dollars. Most teams we've spoken with are still building two years in.

Isolation or Efficiency, Not Both

Standard Kubernetes forces you to choose. Namespace isolation is too weak. Separate physical clusters are too expensive and too slow.

Solution

One Platform from Bare Metal to Tenant Clusters

vCluster is the only platform we know of that integrates bare metal provisioning, CNCF-certified tenant clusters, and kernel-native workload isolation in a single purpose-built stack for AI cloud providers. Boost Run launched managed Kubernetes in under 45 days. Lintasarta launched Indonesia's leading GPU cloud in 90 days.

Built for GPU Clouds at Production Scale

Every layer of the stack purpose-built for AI cloud providers running GPU workloads at scale across hundreds of tenant environments.

Tenant Isolation

Isolated Tenant Clusters in Seconds

Each tenant gets a real Kubernetes API server, etcd, scheduler, and RBAC running as lightweight pods on shared GPU infrastructure. No separate physical clusters. No shared blast radius.

  • Full K8s API server per tenant
  • Spins up in seconds not hours
  • Zero marginal hardware cost
Bare Metal Layer

Zero-Touch GPU Server Provisioning

vMetal handles PXE boot, OS installation, network automation, and full machine lifecycle management. Go from GPU rack to a production-ready Kubernetes base in a single integrated workflow.

  • PXE boot to production automatically
  • Full GPU server lifecycle management
  • Integrated network automation included
Dynamic Scaling

Auto-Provision GPU Nodes on Demand

Auto Nodes acts as bare metal Karpenter, automatically provisioning GPU servers via Terraform when tenants schedule workloads. Scale physical GPU capacity dynamically without manual intervention.

  • Dynamic bare metal GPU provisioning
  • Terraform-driven node automation
  • No manual capacity pre-allocation
AI Platform Readiness

Pre-Validated AI Environments Built In

Pre-validated stacks for Run:AI, Ray, and Jupyter turn a bare Kubernetes tenant cluster into a production AI platform in minutes. Certified to work within isolated tenant environments without custom configuration.

  • Run:AI, Ray, Jupyter pre-validated
  • Cluster to AI platform in minutes
  • Certified with tenant isolation
Workload Security

Kernel-Native Isolation Without VM Overhead

vNode (currently in private beta) delivers container breakout protection using seccomp, cgroups, namespaces, and AppArmor at the kernel level. Strong workload isolation at bare metal GPU performance with no hypervisor tax.

  • No hypervisor overhead on GPUs
  • Container breakout protection built in
  • Compatible with gVisor and Kata

Why vCluster

This isn’t a side project. Behind every vCluster deployment is 5+ years of deep K8s engineering, security hardening, and battle-tested infrastructure work at massive scale.

FAQs

What makes vCluster a GPU orchestration platform and not just a Kubernetes tool?

vCluster is purpose-built for the full GPU infrastructure stack. It covers bare metal provisioning with vMetal, tenant cluster orchestration with the vCluster Platform, and kernel-native workload isolation with vNode (currently in private beta). Unlike generic Kubernetes tools, the entire stack is designed for AI cloud providers running GPU workloads at scale, and it is production-proven across 100K+ GPU nodes and 50+ GPU clouds and Fortune 500 customers.

How is tenant isolation handled without separate physical clusters?

Each tenant gets a fully isolated Kubernetes control plane running as a lightweight pod inside a shared host cluster. This includes a dedicated API server, etcd, scheduler, and RBAC. Tenants cannot see each other's nodes, pods, or platform internals. The isolation model scales from shared nodes with resource quotas all the way to private dedicated nodes with full hardware separation, depending on what the tenant requires.

Can this platform run directly on bare metal GPU servers?

Yes. vCluster Standalone runs as a binary directly on bare metal Linux with no dependency on k3s, kubeadm, or any external Kubernetes distribution. Combined with vMetal for zero-touch provisioning, the stack takes GPU servers from PXE boot through OS installation, network configuration, and into a production Kubernetes environment without any intermediate layers.

How long does it take to launch a managed Kubernetes offering on top of this platform?

Boost Run launched a managed Kubernetes product in under 45 days using the vCluster Platform with zero new platform engineering hires. Lintasarta launched Indonesia's leading GPU cloud with 170+ isolated tenant clusters in 90 days. Based on experience with GPU cloud operators, a DIY approach typically requires 6 to 12 months to build a comparable platform from scratch.

Is the Kubernetes distribution CNCF-certified for use with GPU workloads?

Yes. Every tenant cluster provisioned by the vCluster Platform is a fully CNCF-certified Kubernetes distribution with 100 percent API compatibility. Tenants receive full cluster-admin access to install their own CRDs, configure RBAC, and run any standard Kubernetes tooling. The platform is also named in the NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD reference architecture.

What AI workload frameworks does the platform support out of the box?

The Certified Stacks feature includes pre-validated environments for Run:AI, Ray, and Jupyter, as well as Slurm-on-Kubernetes support via Slinky integration. These stacks are tested and certified against vCluster tenant isolation, so AI training and inference workloads can run in isolated environments without additional configuration or integration work.
