FAQ

Q:

What Is GPU Infrastructure?

A:

GPU infrastructure refers to the integrated hardware and software stack that enables high-performance computing for AI workloads, especially for training and inference. It includes GPUs, networking, storage, Kubernetes orchestration, virtualization, and management tools used for building AI infrastructure that can handle massive parallel processing


Q:

How Does a GPU Platform as a Service Simplify AI Infrastructure Management?

A:

A GPU Platform as a Service abstracts away the complexity of managing AI infrastructure by providing on-demand access to GPU resources. This allows teams to focus on artificial intelligence (AI) and AI training instead of provisioning, scaling, and maintaining GPU hardware. For example, Mirantis k0rdent AI’s GPU PaaS layer provides declarative automation, configuration reconciliation, and drift detection to remove operational complexity and help mitigate the AI skills gap in many organizations.


Q:

How Can Organizations Monetize Idle or Underutilized GPU Resources?

A:

Organizations can monetize GPU infrastructure that is idle or underutilized by using secure multi-tenancy with strict isolation and GPU utilization monitoring to securely share or lease every GPU slice to internal teams or external users. This approach helps maximize return on investment per GPU by maintaining maximum GPU utilization.


Q:

How Does Effective AI GPU Cloud Infrastructure Improve Performance and Cost Efficiency?

A:

Effective AI GPU cloud infrastructure improves performance through optimized GPU acceleration and high-speed data movement. At the same time,  building GPU clouds with secure multi-tenancy, GPU utilization monitoring, and rightsizing helps control costs by matching resources to actual workload demands. For organizations with highly fragmented GPU estates sprawling outside of core IT’s control, effective AI GPU cloud infrastructure also provides centralized control and governance to eliminate orphaned resources.


Q:

What Features Should I Look for in GPU Cloud Infrastructure Solutions?

A:

The right GPU cloud infrastructure features depend on your use case and organizational requirements. For most use cases, key features include automated GPU lifecycle management, secure multi-tenancy, unified infrastructure and services management, GPU resource monitoring and optimization, and cost tracking. For neoclouds and service providers building commercial AI clouds, other key features include declarative automation templates, rapid GPU operationalization, integrated billing and metering, and customizable self-service portals. For enterprises running regulated AI workloads, other key features include policy-driven compliance automation, support for airgapped deployments, centralized audit logging, flexibility to integrate existing architectures, and onboarding and implementation services.

Q:

Why Is GPU Infrastructure Essential for AI Workloads?

A:

GPU infrastructure is essential because AI workloads require an integrated hardware and software stack to operate at scale. Beyond GPU compute, organizations need Kubernetes orchestration, virtualization, networking, and governance layers to provision resources efficiently, maintain security and compliance, maximize GPU utilization, and demonstrate ROI on GPU investments.


Q:

What Are the Key Components of Modern GPU-Optimized Cloud Infrastructure?

A:

Modern GPU-optimized cloud infrastructure combines high-performance GPUs, fast networking, scalable storage, Kubernetes orchestration, virtualization, and governance layers designed for AI workloads. Increasingly, organizations also prioritize AI cloud sovereignty to ensure control over data storage, governance, and compliance and implementing this requires policy automation frameworks, secure software supply chain verification, and centralized audit logging systems.


Q:

What Is the Difference Between GPU PaaS and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)?

A:

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provides IT infrastructure automation, such as for bare metal provisioning, virtualization, multi-cluster Kubernetes management, and hybrid multicloud deployments. IaaS delivers the foundational layer that automates compute, storage, and networking resources.

GPU PaaS builds on this foundation to deliver managed, on-demand access to GPU computing resources specifically optimized for AI workloads. GPU PaaS abstracts GPU lifecycle management, including hardware discovery, driver deployment, intelligent partitioning, and consumption monitoring.


Q:

How Does Mirantis k0rdent AI Ensure Multi-Tenancy, Security, and Compliance for GPU Clouds?

A:

Mirantis k0rdent AI supports secure multi-tenant GPU clouds through hard multi-tenancy with isolation across GPU, VM, and bare metal, and support for multi-tenant networking with strict VLAN isolation and policy enforcement. Other security and compliance features include software supply chain security with artifact scanning and signing and SBOM verification, policy-driven automation, configuration reconciliation, integrated audit logging and observability, data residency controls, and airgapped deployments. Additionally, Mirantis has specialized expertise and proven track record in deploying accredited, STIG- and FedRAMP-ready solutions.


Q:

How Should I Evaluate GPU Infrastructure Companies?

A:

Prioritize providers with proven expertise in both cloud infrastructure and AI workload requirements, demonstrated through customer deployments at scale and partnerships with NVIDIA and other vendors. Assess the platform's architectural approach—whether it supports flexible deployment models (bare metal, hybrid, multicloud) and provides the multi-tenancy and security controls your use case demands. If long-term flexibility is important to you, prioritize platforms built on open standards rather than proprietary technologies. Evaluate the breadth of their ecosystem integrations and ability to support your preferred AI/ML tools and frameworks. Finally, consider operational factors including observability capabilities, service level commitments, and whether their support model (self-managed, co-managed, or fully managed) aligns with your team's expertise and strategic priorities.
