Running Slurm as a managed service means each customer needs its own scheduler, without a stack built per customer. vCluster gives every customer an isolated environment on Private Nodes, Certified Stacks package Slinky, and Slurm handles scheduling.
GPU infrastructure that serves many Slurm customers needs isolation at both the control plane and the worker layer.
Namespace-only designs share control-plane and node-level components, which is a poor fit for untrusted or external tenants.
Building a separate infrastructure stack for every tenant adds provisioning work and creates more systems to operate.
Without a central management plane, templates, access, observability, and lifecycle operations drift across tenant environments.
vCluster Platform provides an isolated tenant environment for each managed Slurm service. Private Nodes are the production default, and Certified Stacks supply a repeatable Slinky integration while Slurm handles scheduling.
vCluster combines tenant cluster isolation, Private Nodes, Certified Stacks, and centralized operations for managed Slurm services.
Certified Stacks provide a repeatable Slurm environment through Slinky. vCluster supplies the tenant cluster, while Slurm remains responsible for scheduling and job management.
Private Nodes assign dedicated worker nodes to each production tenant, with tenant-scoped networking and storage.
Each tenant environment has its own virtualized control plane, API access, and RBAC boundary on the control plane cluster.
With Netris configured, separate network environments can place each tenant on a hardware-backed L2 boundary.
Operate tenant environments through a central UI, CLI, and API with templates, access controls, observability, and lifecycle operations.
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.

Managed Slurm on vCluster Platform runs Slurm through a Certified Stack built around the Slinky integration. vCluster supplies the isolated tenant environment and dedicated Private Nodes for production. Slurm and SchedMD components remain responsible for Slurm job scheduling.
vCluster gives each tenant its own virtualized control plane and Private Nodes with dedicated compute, networking, and storage. When the Netris integration is configured, each tenant network can also receive its own hardware-backed L2 boundary.
Yes. Operators can offer Kubernetes, Slurm, Ray, and inference tenant environments from the same platform. vCluster manages the tenant boundary and fleet operations, while each cluster type keeps its own workload and scheduling model.
The virtualized control plane is lightweight, so a new tenant cluster comes up in minutes, not hours. Certified Stacks provide a repeatable Slinky configuration, which cuts the manual integration work needed to get Slurm ready for that tenant. Node provisioning time depends on your hardware.
vCluster Platform supports air-gapped deployments and FIPS features on supported plans. Private Nodes and optional hardware network isolation provide deployment controls for organizations with data residency or regulatory requirements.
Managed Slurm runs on Private Nodes, which can come from bare metal servers, cloud VMs, or other Linux machines. vMetal can provision bare metal machines or VMs and join them to the tenant cluster automatically.
See how vCluster Platform delivers isolated managed Slurm environments with Private Nodes as the production default.
