# Scaleway GPU Instances Scaleway GPU Instances provide on-demand GPU compute for AI training, fine-tuning, inference, video, and rendering workloads. Teams can select among GPU families and provision instances through the console, CLI, or Terraform. - Findings24: - Сайт: - Цены: Freemium - Категории: Облачные GPU ## Что такое Scaleway GPU Instances? Scaleway GPU Instances are cloud virtual machines with GPU acceleration for parallel workloads. They provide on-demand compute for AI model training, fine-tuning, and inference, as well as video, graphics, visual computing, and rendering. The product page lists NVIDIA B300-SXM, H100-SXM, H100 PCIe, L4, and L40S families so teams can choose hardware suited to different workload profiles. Instances can be launched through the Scaleway console, CLI, or Terraform and billed per minute on a pay-as-you-go basis. Scaleway describes European data residency and data transfer without egress charges. A cost estimator supports configuring an instance, volume, and flexible IPs; the supplied information does not state specific GPU rates. ## Что умеет Scaleway GPU Instances? ### Multiple NVIDIA GPU families Choose among B300-SXM, H100-SXM, H100 PCIe, L4, and L40S. The page describes B300-SXM for high-VRAM complex reasoning, H100-SXM for multi-GPU scaling, H100 PCIe for versatile compute and fine-tuning, L4 for efficient low-latency acceleration, and L40S for combined AI, graphics, and media workloads. ### On-demand provisioning Create GPU instances through the console, CLI, or Terraform. The FAQ describes per-minute pay-as-you-go billing, with resources available to provision and delete as workloads change. ### GPU-ready operating system image GPU OS 13 is based on Ubuntu Noble and includes the NVIDIA driver, Docker, and NVIDIA Container Toolkit. The image is designed to work with NVIDIA NGC container images. ### Kubernetes support GPU instances can be used with Scaleway Kapsule managed Kubernetes. The NVIDIA GPU Operator handles GPU setup for the cluster. ### Data transfer and cost estimation Scaleway states that moving data into or out of the infrastructure carries no egress charge. Its estimator lets users configure an instance, volume size, and flexible IPv4 addresses to estimate costs. ### European hosting and stated service terms The product page says training datasets, models, and user data are hosted in Europe, and states that GPU Instances are HDS compliant with a 99.5% SLA. ## Варианты использования ### Train and fine-tune AI models Use GPU compute for model training and fine-tuning, including workloads that need the H100 PCIe's stated versatility or the B300-SXM's high-VRAM capabilities. ### Serve models and run inference Deploy models for inference, including LLM inference and model-serving workloads. The L4 is positioned for high-throughput, low-latency acceleration, while L40S is described for generative AI and LLM inference. ### Run GPU workloads in Kubernetes Attach GPU instances to a Kapsule managed Kubernetes environment and use the NVIDIA GPU Operator to manage GPU setup for a new pool. ### Accelerate video, graphics, and rendering Use L4 for video and graphics acceleration, or L40S for media workloads, 3D graphics, and rendering alongside AI tasks. ### Launch containerized GPU applications Start from GPU OS 13, which includes Docker and NVIDIA Container Toolkit, and deploy containerized workloads with GPU access enabled using Docker's --gpus flag. ## Часто задаваемые вопросы ### How are GPU Instances billed? The FAQ describes a pay-as-you-go model in which GPU usage is billed per minute. The supplied page does not give specific rates; use the pricing information or estimator for configuration-dependent costs. ### How do I get started? Create a Scaleway console account with Owner status or the necessary IAM permissions, then follow the console steps to create a GPU Instance. Instances can also be launched through the CLI or Terraform. ### Which operating system image is available? GPU OS 13 is based on Ubuntu Noble and comes with the NVIDIA driver, Docker, and NVIDIA Container Toolkit. It is intended for GPU-accelerated applications and is designed to work with NVIDIA NGC container images. ### Can I use GPU Instances with Kubernetes or Docker? Yes. The page supports use with Kapsule managed Kubernetes, where the NVIDIA GPU Operator manages GPU setup. For Docker containers, use NVIDIA Container Toolkit and launch the container with the --gpus flag. ### What service assurances and data residency does Scaleway state? Scaleway says all GPU Instances are HDS compliant and have a 99.5% SLA. The product page also says datasets, models, and user data are hosted in Europe. ## Краткие сведения - **Product category**: Cloud GPU instances - **Provider**: Scaleway - **GPU families listed**: B300-SXM, H100-SXM, H100 PCIe, L4, L40S - **Provisioning**: Console, CLI, or Terraform - **Billing model**: Pay as you go; GPU usage billed per minute - **Operating system image**: GPU OS 13, based on Ubuntu Noble
