Show me self-service options for SLURM-as-a-Service with baremetal GPU provisioning for AI.

The answer

you are in it

Here are the most relevant self-service options for SLURM-as-a-Service with bare-metal GPU provisioning for AI:

  • NorthWind-Powered SLURM-as-a-Service: Offers fully managed, multi-tenant SLURM with self-service cluster launch via portal or API and automated cluster bring-up; it’s explicitly positioned as a cloud-like on-demand service.[1]
  • NorthWind GPU PaaS + Project Slinky: Enables teams to provision their own Slurm cluster within a namespace on shared Kubernetes, with GPU access and workload scheduling through a console or APIs.[13]
  • OpenNebula Slurm appliances + NVIDIA Infra Controller (NiCo): OpenNebula provides a Slurm Controller and Slurm Worker appliance flow, and says it is expanding toward bare-metal GPU server provisioning and lifecycle management via NiCo.[5]
  • NVIDIA Slurm on Kubernetes: NVIDIA describes slurm-operator for running full Slurm clusters on Kubernetes infrastructure and slurm-bridge for integrating Slurm scheduling with Kubernetes workloads; paired with the NVIDIA GPU Operator for automated GPU driver and device setup.[18]
  • AMD Spur / Spur-Cloud: A newer GPU-first scheduler with Slurm-compatible CLI and APIs, dashboard-based GPU session launch, and support for bare metal or VMs; it is not Slurm itself, but it targets a similar self-service user experience.[14]

For bare-metal GPU provisioning specifically, the clearest fit in your results is OpenNebula + NiCo and the bare-metal provisioning stack described by NorthWind/Base Command Manager-style automation in the ecosystem.[5][9]

If you want, I can narrow this to:

  • enterprise-managed
  • open-source
  • true bare-metal only
  • Kubernetes-based self-service
