- hyperscaler 1
- Fabric Primary node-to-node network the provider states for its HPC or GPU clusters. RDMA means the provider names RDMA cluster networking without naming the transport.
- InfiniBand 1
- Interconnect detail Speeds and instance families as the provider states them.
- ND H100 v5: 400 Gb/s NDR InfiniBand per GPU (3.2 Tb/s per VM); HBv5: 800 Gb/s per VM 1
- Schedulers Job schedulers and orchestrators the provider offers or documents.
- Azure CycleCloud (Slurm, PBS Pro, LSF, Grid Engine, HTCondor), Azure Batch 3
- Slurm Offers or documents Slurm (managed, or as a supported deployment).
- Yes 3
- Kubernetes Offers managed Kubernetes for its clusters.
