We tested FarmGPU via Runpod only, as they currently do not have a way to access their cloud services directly. We described our experience in detail in that section, where after some back and forth with the team we were eventually able to see expected performance on NCCL tests on their network using a Runpod-orchestrated slurm cluster with modifications. We have not been able to test kubernetes, or verify any monitoring and health checks in place.

In general, we appreciate FarmGPU’s commitment to improvement over time, strong knowledge of storage drive performance, and contributions to OCP’s Neocloud workstream describing their experience working with the SONiC NOS on Celestica whitebox switches with Kubernetes.

At this time FarmGPU does not have basic security attestation in place. We look forward to testing their services again in the future.
