Hot Aisle

AMD MI300X Fleet
Dell PowerEdge XE9680 servers with 8x 192GB AMD Instinct MI300X GPUs and Intel Xeon CPUs.
Minute-Level VM Billing
Transparent published MI300X rates with self-service VMs metered by the minute through Stripe; 8-GPU bare metal runs on monthly terms.
Automation Below Kubernetes
NetBox-backed inventory plus automated SONiC networking, PXE boot, host setup, and current ROCm drivers, so orchestration is not the first layer.
Isolated KVM Instances
NUMA-balanced KVM virtual machines with direct GPU access and private isolated networking to avoid noisy neighbors.
High-Speed Fabric
8x400G RoCEv2 per chassis plus 100G internet and unlimited bandwidth.
Ready-to-Use Images
Ubuntu options with ROCm, Docker, and optional K8s/Slurm/Ray installs via cloud-init.

Pros & Cons

Google Cloud

Advantages

Flexible pricing options, including sustained use discounts
Strong AI and machine learning tools (Vertex AI)
Good integration with other Google services
Mature managed Kubernetes offering (GKE)

Considerations

Limited availability in some regions compared to AWS
Complexity in managing resources
Support can be costly

Hot Aisle

Advantages

Self-service MI300X VMs with transparent published rates metered by the minute, no sales call required
Dense XE9680 nodes with 8x400G RoCEv2 for multi-server scaling
Credit card to running compute in under a minute, with public IP and firewall control included
100G internet with unlimited bandwidth plus included IPv4/IPv6 addresses

Considerations

Single public region (Grand Rapids, MI) limits locality options
AMD-only GPU lineup today; MI355X is reservation-only for now
Self-service VMs top out at 4 GPUs; 8-GPU nodes require a bare metal reservation with a one-month minimum
