Availability
Can you start it: the first review criterion
The first thing a GPU cloud review should record is whether a new account can start the GPU today, because every other criterion describes a machine you may never get.
GPU cloud, checked
Topics
Answer in brief
10 short entries on the questions people ask around GPU cloud, checked.
Each opens with its answer, then gives the detail and the terms behind it.
All topics
Rental size
The smallest rental: one GPU or a whole machine
The second criterion is the smallest thing a GPU cloud will rent you, because a per-GPU price inside an 8-GPU machine is one eighth of the hourly bill.
Billing
The billing unit: second, minute or hour
The third criterion is the unit a GPU cloud rounds your time to, because one hourly price can bill a ten-minute run as ten minutes or as a full hour.
Terms
What the terms say
The fourth criterion is the terms of service, because they decide what happens to prepaid money, to a running machine and to your data, and no price page repeats them.
Self-serve
From sign-up to a working GPU
A GPU cloud review should time the path from a new account to a working machine, because approvals, payment checks and boot time all sit between you and the first command.
GPU range
The range of GPUs on offer
A review should list which GPUs a cloud offers and which of them can be started, because a long catalog with the newest cards sold out is a short catalog.
Developer platform
API, CLI, SDK and agent access
A review should record how a GPU cloud is driven, because a console you click is fine for one machine and no use for the fiftieth.
Billing
Storage, data transfer and the rest of the bill
A review should list every line a GPU cloud can bill beyond the GPU-hour: storage, data leaving the provider and time a machine sat idle.
Regions
Regions and where your data sits
A review should name the places a GPU cloud runs the card you want, because a region list for the whole provider says nothing about where one GPU model is in stock.
Practical
How to review a GPU cloud yourself in thirty minutes
You can review any GPU cloud in about thirty minutes with a new account: try to start a GPU, note the smallest rental and the unit, read three clauses of the terms, and date the record.
