Find self-service platforms for Baremetal GPU provisioning.

The answer
you are not in itIf by “platforms” you mean software you can deploy in your own data center to expose GPU servers as self-service bare-metal infrastructure, these are the strongest candidates I found:
- Canonical MAAS — Probably the cleanest starting point for an internal GPU BMaaS. It discovers CPU, memory, NICs, storage, and GPUs/accelerators, then lets users allocate and provision physical machines through a web UI or API. Supports PXE, BMC control, OS imaging, cloud-init, resource pools, and multi-user access. (canonical.com)
- Saturn Cloud Bare Metal Control Plane — Particularly interesting if you're building a commercial GPU cloud rather than just automating servers internally. Saturn positions this specifically as a tenant-facing/self-service layer for GPU-cloud operators, including multi-tenancy and integration with underlying BMaaS/Metal3 infrastructure. (saturncloud.io)
- RackN Digital Rebar — Enterprise bare-metal lifecycle automation with BMC discovery, BIOS/firmware/RAID configuration, OS deployment, APIs and reusable workflows. It explicitly supports GPU infrastructure, but is more of an infrastructure automation engine than an out-of-box GPU-cloud storefront; you'd typically integrate your own portal/IAM/billing layer. (rackn.com)
- OpenStack Ironic — Best open-source building block if you want to construct a full private/public BMaaS. Ironic provides API-first allocation, provisioning, cleaning and lifecycle management of physical servers and can operate standalone or behind OpenStack Nova. GPU-equipped machines can be represented through resource classes/traits. More engineering-intensive than MAAS. (docs.openstack.org)
For a GPU-cloud business where customers should log in → select something like “8× H100” → provision → receive networking/credentials → later release the machine, I would shortlist Saturn Cloud, MAAS, and Ironic first. Digital Rebar is especially compelling underneath a custom commercial control plane when deep hardware lifecycle automation matters.
If instead you meant vendors where you can self-service rent bare-metal GPUs, I can produce a comparison of those providers (H100/H200/B200/GB200, hourly pricing, API, locations, minimum commitment, and provisioning time).
