The answer

you are not in it

For self-service bare-metal GPU provisioning, several providers offer on-demand access to dedicated GPU servers without the virtualization overhead. These options are ideal for high-performance computing, AI/ML training, and other demanding workloads.

Key providers and platforms include:

  • Vultr: Offers bare-metal GPU infrastructure as part of its cloud platform, providing cloud-style access with global deployment options. Vultr Clusters specifically enable on-demand, self-service provisioning of bare-metal server clusters through their console or API.
  • Spheron: Ranks highly for bare-metal GPU access with a marketplace-style approach, offering cost-effective and spot capacity. It provides full VM access and root control with pay-as-you-go billing.
  • CoreWeave: A cloud provider specifically designed for GPU computing, offering both fractional and bare-metal GPU access. Its Kubernetes-native platform runs directly on bare metal, allowing efficient scaling for AI workloads.
  • phoenixNAP: Offers Bare Metal Cloud with an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) model and flexible hourly billing, alongside monthly and reservation options. It supports API and automation.
  • Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI): Provides bare-metal instances with NVIDIA and AMD GPUs, emphasizing high performance free of virtualization overhead. OCI offers significant local storage per node for AI training.
  • Servers.com: Focuses on global bare-metal infrastructure, including dedicated servers and cloud servers, suitable for AI/ML and other performance-sensitive workloads.
  • Latitude.sh: Provides dedicated GPU bare-metal servers, supporting NVIDIA A100 and L40S GPUs, with options for single or multi-GPU configurations.
  • Bitdeer AI Cloud: Offers direct access to dedicated GPU hardware with flexible pricing and full control over the environment.

Additionally, hyperscale cloud providers like Amazon EC2 Bare Metal and IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers also offer bare-metal instances within their broader cloud ecosystems, which can be beneficial if you're already integrated with their services.

For those building their own GPU clouds, tools like vMetal (from vCluster Labs) provide bare-metal provisioning and lifecycle management purpose-built for GPU servers, including OS installation and tenant-ready Kubernetes clusters.
