Resilient large-scale FM training clusters Partial match
SageMaker HyperPod maps to Agent Platform training clusters: persistent, reserved accelerator clusters orchestrated with Slurm.
- Training clusters are obtained through your Google Cloud sales contact rather than self-service.
- HyperPod supports both Slurm and EKS orchestration. On Google Cloud, the Kubernetes path is GKE with accelerators, and Ray on Agent Platform is another option.
