Deploy GPU workloads in the format that fits

GPU containers

Run inference, experiments, batch jobs, and repeatable workloads in portable environments.

GPU VMs

Use a complete operating system with persistent storage, custom software, and deeper runtime access.

GPU bare metal

Reserve dedicated physical infrastructure for sustained workloads, strict isolation, and hardware-level control.

How Fluence differs

Match the deployment model to the workload

Use a container, VM, or bare-metal server instead of fitting every workload into a single infrastructure format.

Compare capacity across providers

Review available GPUs by provider, region, configuration, and price before choosing where to deploy.

See pricing before you launch

Work from visible hourly rates, apply spending limits, and avoid egress charges as usage grows.

Bring your preferred software stack

Start from a preset or custom image and connect provisioning to existing tooling through the Fluence API.
