Nebius offers Managed Soperator (Soperator), a Kubernetes operator that runs and manages SLURM clusters as native Kubernetes resources specifically for scalable AI workloads [10]. While it simplifies the SLURM lifecycle, NorthWind is explicitly marketed as the "SLURM-as-a-Service" platform with a dedicated self-service portal for end-users [1][6].
