Find self-service platforms for Baremetal GPU provisioning.

Self-service platforms for Bare Metal GPU provisioning fall into two major categories: Software Platforms (which you install on your own physical hardware racks to turn them into an automated, multi-tenant GPU cloud) and Public Bare Metal Cloud Providers (which offer their own hardware on-demand via an API or portal). 11 12 13 14 15

⚙️ Software Platforms (For Building Infrastructure)

These software stacks automate zero-touch provisioning, PXE boot, OS installation, and tenant isolation over raw hardware.

• vCluster / vMetal: Offers zero-touch PXE boot and machine lifecycle automation designed specifically for heavy GPU fleets (such as DGX nodes). It features "Auto Nodes," which works like Karpenter but for physical servers, automatically provisioning bare metal nodes via Terraform when workloads demand more GPU capacity.
• NorthWind Platform (BMaaS): An automated bare metal bring-up workflow that discovers physical servers, installs the OS, handles network automation (per-tenant VRFs), and injects necessary GPU drivers automatically. It allows end-users to spin up dedicated GPU servers (such as NVIDIA H100s or L40S) in roughly 10 minutes via a self-service portal.
• OpenNebula: Integrates directly with the NVIDIA Infrastructure Controller (NICo) to deliver Bare Metal-as-a-Service for AI environments. It unifies VM and physical bare metal workflows under a single control plane with native templates and quota systems.
• OpenStack: A traditional, open-source cloud standard frequently deployed on physical infrastructure to offer self-service portals (Horizon) and APIs for provisioning bare metal servers with fractional GPU partitioning like NVIDIA MIG.

☁️ Infrastructure-as-a-Service Providers (On-Demand Compute)

If you prefer to consume bare metal GPUs instantly via API or web portal without managing the underlying physical data center, these self-service public clouds host raw, single-tenant servers.

• Vultr Bare Metal: Provides on-demand, self-service single-tenant dedicated clusters with no special reservations required. They offer immediate provisioning for high-tier hardware configurations like the NVIDIA HGX B200, HGX H100, GH200, and AMD MI355X via API and control panel.
• OpenMetal IaaS: Delivers dedicated single-tenant bare metal nodes with full root and IPMI access. You can attach RTX PRO 6000 or H200 nodes straight to an existing private VLAN with predictable flat-rate monthly pricing and unmetered internal traffic.
• Atlantic.Net: Offers a self-managed bare metal tier built for training and inference that provisions standard SKUs within minutes to a few hours using their automation API.
• OVHcloud: Provides instantaneous, automated deployment of single-tenant dedicated GPU instances paired with managed Kubernetes, private networking, and S3-compatible storage integrations.

To help narrow down the best solution, are you looking to buy software to automate your own physical data center hardware, or do you want to rent pre-hosted bare metal servers immediately?
