Launch Your AI Workloads with CoreWeave Kubernetes
Artificial intelligence and machine learning workloads like Deep Learning, Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative AI require extensive model training, inference serving, data processing, and specialized infrastructure to operate at scale. Running GPU-accelerated and distributed AI workloads can be challenging without the right platform.
CoreWeave is a hybrid cloud that provides a purpose-built solution optimized for these AI/ML workloads. With CoreWeave + Zeet, you can deploy GPU servers, containers, and orchestrate complex ML workflows easily and efficiently.
CoreWeave eliminates the operational headache of managing bare metal infrastructure so you can focus on developing models and applications instead of ops, and Zeet sits on top of this (and any other clouds you might have) to simplify Kubernetes, CI/CD, Infrastructure Provisioning, and more. The CoreWeave platform is tuned for performance, scale, and GPU optimization out of the box, and paired with Zeet, you get one dashboard that abstracts away complexity while still providing the flexibility and power of a native cloud dashboard.
With CoreWeave Kubernetes and Zeet’s managed Kubernetes feature, you can finally unleash your most demanding AI workloads and innovations.
Benefits of CoreWeave Kubernetes for AI
CoreWeave Kubernetes delivers powerful benefits for running artificial intelligence workloads compared to other Kubernetes solutions or cloud providers. The platform is purpose-built for unmatched performance, automated scalability, and optimized infrastructure management.
Blazing Fast Performance
CoreWeave Kubernetes runs on bare metal servers with direct access to GPUs, removing the overhead and throttling common in cloud environments while still reaping the benefits of cloud computing. This enables AI workloads to leverage the full power of the underlying hardware for maximum speed and reduced time-to-results.
NVIDIA GPUs like A100 and H100 are tightly integrated for accelerated model training and inferencing, and can be provisioned right from the Zeet dashboard. CoreWeave also offers bleeding-edge capabilities like NVIDIA HGX A100 for enterprise-scale AI needs.
Automated Scaling & Rapid Deployment
The platform includes intelligent auto-scaling capabilities to dynamically adapt to workload demands. This allows fast deployment of new resources in minutes instead of days or weeks.
Zeet automates the management of Kubernetes clusters, infrastructure, and software updates. The platform abstracts away these complexities so data scientists can focus on developing models.
Optimized for Distributed Training
With built-in support for distributed training frameworks like Horovod and PyTorch Elastic, data scientists can train neural networks faster and more efficiently. CoreWeave enables running distributed workloads across multiple bare metal nodes.
The integrated workload scheduler intelligently allocates resources for different training jobs. This ensures efficient utilization and avoids the need for manual optimization.
Bare Metal Performance for Peak AI Performance
CoreWeave Kubernetes is built on bare metal infrastructure, providing your AI workloads with unparalleled speed, throughput, and performance compared to virtualized options. By bypassing the hypervisor and running workloads directly on the metal, CoreWeave delivers unmatched training times and low-latency inference.
Key benefits of CoreWeave’s bare metal AI solutions include:
- Max GPU Utilization: Make the most of your GPU investment by avoiding the virtualization tax. Bare metal allows you to utilize 100% of GPU resources for your models.
- No Noisy Neighbors: Dedicated bare metal servers mean you don't have to compete for resources with other tenants. Consistent and reliable performance.
- Reduced Latency: Direct metal access removes the latency penalty of virtualization for faster response times. Critical for real-time inference apps.
- High Throughput: Bare metal maximizes throughput and bandwidth for data-intensive model training at scale.
- Better Cost Efficiency: More workload density and utilization per server compared to virtualized resources.
By leveraging dedicated bare metal, CoreWeave Kubernetes delivers the speed, performance and predictability your AI workloads demand. The specialized NVIDIA GPUs and networking fabric are optimized specifically for machine learning, unlike general purpose clouds. Experience bare metal benefits without operational overheads.
Automated Scaling & Fast Deployment
CoreWeave Kubernetes with Zeet allows you to spin up GPUs and scale your infrastructure faster than ever before. Zeet leverages CoreWeave’s Kubernetes and their bare metal architecture to provide incredibly fast deployment times, while still getting the benefits of a cloud-based ecosystem with high-performance computing.
You can deploy a multi-node GPU cluster on CoreWeave Kubernetes in minutes, not hours or days like other platforms. Our proprietary system design and automation allows for near instantaneous spin up of new nodes.
We also offer the most responsive auto-scaling available. You can configure auto-scaling policies based on GPU utilization, allowing your infrastructure to scale up seamlessly as your workloads demand more compute resources. As GPU usage decreases, the cluster can automatically scale back down just as quickly.
There's no need to guess ahead of time what resources you'll need or sit around waiting for instances to deploy. With CoreWeave Kubernetes, you can deploy exactly what you need, when you need it. This on-demand elasticity is ideal for the dynamic workloads of machine learning and AI applications.
You get the performance of bare metal with the automation and ease-of-use of Kubernetes and auto-scaling. This enables unprecedented agility and efficiency for your GPU-accelerated workloads. Rapid deployment and instant scaling means you can focus on your AI projects, not your infrastructure.
Optimized for Distributed Training
CoreWeave Kubernetes enables cutting edge distributed training capabilities to handle the most demanding AI workloads. With CoreWeave's bare metal infrastructure and NVIDIA HGX H100 accelerators, you get the performance needed to scale model training to multiple nodes.
CoreWeave makes it easy to spin up GPU clusters optimized for distributed training in minutes. The platform's advanced scheduling efficiently allocates resources across nodes so you can run multiple concurrent training jobs with minimal wait times. Automated scaling allows your cluster to dynamically grow and shrink as your training workload demands.
Tight integration with popular distributed training frameworks like PyTorch and TensorFlow ensures you can leverage optimized communication libraries like NVIDIA NCCL for synchronous multi-GPU and multi-node training. CoreWeave's use of RDMA networking delivers the ultra-low latency and high bandwidth required for large-scale distributed training.
For more complex workflows, CoreWeave offers managed Kubernetes clusters with pre-installed SLURM for simplified job scheduling and cluster management. This provides a powerful environment to develop and deploy distributed training pipelines at scale.
With CoreWeave's optimized infrastructure for distributed training, you can accelerate time-to-accuracy for the most demanding AI models. The platform's automation and ease-of-use removes the headaches of managing infrastructure so you can focus on developing cutting-edge AI applications.
