Managed Kubernetes for Superclusters
Lambda’s fully-managed Kubernetes offering builds on the power of our Superclusters. We install and maintain a Kubernetes installation on your cluster, run most daily operational tasks, and handle cluster and hardware failures - allowing you and your team to focus on using the cluster rather than operating it.
Operational Ease /
Lambda’s world-class engineering team will deploy, run and operate our reference Kubernetes architecture designed for AI, machine learning and GPU workloads. This includes:
- Control plane maintenance and high-availability
- NVIDIA Kubernetes operators and stack installed and configured
- Detecting node failures, node pool adjustment and failed hardware replacement
- Gathering chassis and cluster metrics and proactive monitoring
In return for allowing us to take full control of the hardware, you will get a fully-managed experience, with access to the Kubernetes API, graphical dashboard, and other components pre-configured:
- Flexible pod networking including NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand
- Workload monitoring and metrics
Single-Tenant Security /
Lambda Superclusters are single-tenant and all Kubernetes and fleet management components will remain local. Nothing inside of the cluster will be exposed to the Internet unless you choose to - by default, all access is over a secure VPN, including to the Kubernetes API and dashboard. Lambda maintains access in order to run monitoring, alerting, and perform proactive fixes when we notice issues.
Single-tenancy also means you get flexibility as to when we do upgrades and to which versions; we’ll work with you to establish maintenance windows and your preferred upgrade cadence.
We perform any required critical upgrades to cluster components, and we proactively monitor your cluster 24/7/365 and attempt to fix issues as soon as possible - resolution times vary by issue type and severity. All clusters are located in datacenters where Lambda have 8x5 continuous presence and 24x7 on-call availability.
