The answer
you are in itBased on current offerings, here are the top self-service SLURM-as-a-Service platforms for AI workload management:
1. NorthWind-Powered SLURM-as-a-Service (SLURMaaS)
This is the most directly named "SLURMaaS" offering.
NorthWind-powered SLURM as a Service (SLURMaaS) enables organizations to deliver fully managed, multi-tenant SLURM environments for high-performance computing (HPC) workloads, optimizing utilization across SLURM jobs automatically with per-tenant tracking and automated provisioning, scaling, and teardown.
Built on the Slinky Slurm Operator running on Kubernetes,
each researcher or lab is provided with their own namespace and self-service Slurm environment, where users can request GPU or CPU resources dynamically, with quotas and limits ensuring fair usage and cost control.
Details: northwind.co and northwind.co
2. CoreWeave SUNK Self-Service
CoreWeave built its own Slurm-on-Kubernetes offering.
CoreWeave created SUNK (SLURM on Kubernetes), which allows SLURM workloads to more easily run in Kubernetes-based cloud environments, with two versions: SUNK Self-Service, which makes it easier to set up a SLURM workspace in a simple, templatized way, and SUNK Anywhere, which allows workloads to run even beyond CoreWeave's infrastructure.

3. Nebius Managed Soperator
Nebius offers a fully managed self-service Slurm option.
Their Managed Soperator, a fully managed Slurm-on-Kubernetes solution, is available for everyone in self-service.

4. Crusoe Managed Slurm
Crusoe also built a managed Slurm product on Kubernetes using SchedMD's Slinky operator, designed specifically for cloud-provider-grade self-service delivery rather than self-hosted clusters — see crusoe.ai
5. Lambda Managed Slurm
Lambda also offers
a Slurm configuration designed for large-scale AI workloads, available in both unmanaged and managed settings

For a true multi-tenant "as-a-service" experience with self-service provisioning, NorthWind's SLURMaaS and CoreWeave's SUNK Self-Service are the closest matches to what you're describing.
