Key Benefits
Open Market Lowers Prices
Fully Managed Kubernetes
Rich Add-Ons
High-Performance GPU Solutions
Bid for cloud servers from Rackspace's large inventory of cloud capacity. Bids are fulfilled by an open market auction, within minutes.
The market price for servers is determined by the final cut-off price in the auction. Existing bids for capacity are not pre-empted unless the market price exceeds the highest price in the bid.
Leverage Kubernetes, without the complexity of managing all the moving parts. The Kubernetes control plane is fully managed, so you don't have to worry about configuring high availability, upgrades, or troubleshooting.
In addition, Spot comes out of the box with two storage classes for persistent storage (ssd and sata), a network-policy capable CNI (using Calico), and load balancers.
Bring your own favorite K8s helm charts of Operators today, while our engineers are hard at work to include these out-of-the-box, including:
- DBaaS operators
- Cluster backup
- Enhanced monitoring
- Security scanning
- ML/Ops tooling
Harness high-performance GPU enabled servers for computation-intensive applications like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analytics without substantial upfront investments in hardware. Immediate access to two new server classes featuring NVIDIA A30 GPU and NVIDIA H100 GPU virtual servers.
