What is a managed graphics processing unit cluster?

Definition

A managed graphics processing unit cluster gives customers access to coordinated accelerators without requiring them to own every operational layer. The provider can handle provisioning, networking, monitoring, repairs and parts of the model-serving software stack.

Management reduces staffing and setup burdens but creates dependency on the provider's service quality and contract. Customers still need to validate security, workload performance, data handling and the portability of their applications.
