aquanode

A practical workflow

1. Submit a job command and specify checkpoint paths and intervals; Aquanode snapshots checkpoints accordingly.
2. Aquanode detects if a machine is lost by confirming with the provider before acting to avoid duplicate billing.
3. If a machine is lost, Aquanode rents a new machine from another provider, restores the last checkpoint, and reruns the job automatically.

   bestFor

   Before: ["Users who need to manage GPU workloads across multiple cloud providers and hardware with environment portability."]

   After: ["Teams requiring shared GPU deployments, live metrics, and workspace portability with easy management tools."]

   features

   Before: ["Portable workspace snapshots that capture and restore GPU environments across different providers and GPU models.","Live GPU metrics including utilization, VRAM, temperature, power, and clock speeds, refreshed every few seconds during deployment.","Multi-provider marketplace to compare live GPU and AI compute prices across cloud providers with real hourly rates and availability."]

   After: ["Checkpointing jobs on user-defined intervals to save progress and enable failover.","Automatic detection of machine loss confirmed with the provider before failover.","Automatic resumption of jobs on a new machine from the last checkpoint after failure.","Portable workspaces (Pods) that can pause, move between providers, and resume with the same environment and data.","Auto-pause feature that saves and releases idle GPU setups to stop billing, with warnings before pausing."]

   limitations

   Before: []

   After: ["Jobs without checkpoint paths restart from the beginning if interrupted.","Some GPU metrics like temperature and power may be unavailable on virtualized GPUs and are shown as 'Unavailable' rather than zero."]

   summary

   Before: "Aquanode is a GPU environment management platform that saves and restores complete GPU setups, including packages and CUDA, across multiple cloud providers and hardware. It enables migration, backup, and resumption of GPU workloads with features like auto-pause to stop billing when idle."

   After: "Aquanode is a GPU marketplace and management platform that enables fine-tuning, training, and batch jobs on marketplace GPUs with checkpointing and failover capabilities. It supports multiple providers and regions, allowing jobs to resume automatically from the last checkpoint if a machine is lost, minimizing downtime and cost."

   useCases

   Before: ["Migrating GPU workloads seamlessly between different cloud providers or GPU models without rebuilding environments."]

   After: ["Running machine learning training, fine-tuning, and batch inference jobs on cost-effective marketplace GPUs with automatic failover.","Developing and managing portable GPU workspaces that can pause, migrate, and resume across different providers and datacenters."]

   walkthrough

   Before: ["Create a snapshot of the GPU environment, launch a deployment on a chosen provider, and restore the snapshot to resume work.","Enable auto-pause to automatically save and release idle GPU boxes after inactivity to stop compute billing."]
