Crusoe Managed Kubernetes (CMK): Overview

Crusoe Managed Kubernetes (CMK) allows you to spin up Kubernetes clusters with fully-managed control planes through our UI, CLI, API and Terraform provider. We manage the availability, scaling and lifecycle of cluster control plane nodes, offer simple primitives to automate node registration and provide out of the box installation of required GPU and network drivers, enabling you to build and scale your AI workloads with minimal overhead.

Key Capabilities​

  • Managed Clusters: You may provision one or more clusters in your project. Each cluster consists of a minimum of 3 control plane nodes. Control plane nodes are distributed across different physical hosts (at a minimum) to provide a high availability posture.
  • Node Pools: Node pools allow you to group one or more Crusoe Cloud instances and associate them to a specific cluster control plane, to function as worker nodes. You may provision one or more node pools in the context of a specific cluster.
  • Add-ons: When provisioning a cluster, you may choose to install one or more add-ons that install additional functionality in the cluster. These include the Nvidia GPU Operator, Nvidia Network Operator and the Crusoe Container Storage Interface.

Pricing​

CMK clusters are billed at a rate of $0.10 per cluster-hour. For more information, please visit our website.
