GPU Instance Restrictions

Learn more about the details of what you can and cannot provision. Most of these are due to physical hardware constraints. As always, feel free to contact us if you have any questions!

General Restrictions

These limits apply to GPU instances with the corresponding GPU model. Note that the minimum vCPU count is always 1 vCPU per GPU. So, if you have 8 GPUs, you need at least 8 vCPUs to be allocated for the virtual machine provisioning request to succeed.

These restrictions are to ensure that our host nodes remain balanced, but feel free to contact us if you have different needs, and we'd be happy to consdier it.

CPU Restrictions on GPU Instances

These limits apply to GPU instances with the corresponding GPU model. Note that the minimum GB of RAM is always 1 GB of RAM per vCPU. So, if you have 32 vCPUs, you need at least 32 GB of RAM to be allocated.
