Supporting NVIDIA and AMD accelerators on Vultr¶

As demand for AI infrastructure grows, the need for efficient, vendor-neutral orchestration tools is becoming increasingly important. At dstack, we’re committed to redefining AI container orchestration by prioritizing an AI-native, open-source-first approach. Today, we’re excited to share a new integration and partnership with Vultr .

This new integration enables Vultr customers to train and deploy models on both AMD and NVIDIA GPUs with greater flexibility and efficiency–using dstack.

About Vultr¶

Vultr provides cloud GPUs across 32 regions, supporting both NVIDIA and AMD hardware with on-demand and reserved capacity. Their offerings include AMD MI300X and NVIDIA GH200, H200, H100, A100, L40S, and A40, all available at competitive pricing .

Why dstack¶

Kubernetes wasn’t built for AI. It’s powerful, but it adds unnecessary complexity that slows down development, training, and deployment. That’s where dstack comes in.

dstack is an open-source orchestrator designed specifically for AI. Here’s a quick look at how it simplifies running dev environments and services on Vultr:

dstack runs on any cloud or on-prem setup, providing a simple way to manage dev environments, tasks, services, fleets, and volumes—so you can focus on building instead of troubleshooting infrastructure.

Getting started¶

To use dstack with your Vultr account, you need to configure a vultr backend:

Log into your Vultr account, click Account in the sidebar, select API, find the Personal Access Token panel and click the Enable API button. In the Access Control panel, allow API requests from all addresses or from the subnet where your dstack server is deployed.

Then, go ahead and configure the backend:

projects:
  - name: main
    backends:
      - type: vultr
        creds:
          type: api_key
          api_key: B57487240a466624b48de22865589
