Initial setup

Complete these tasks once, before you create your first Managed GPU Cluster.

Register an account​

Select Sign Up on the FPT Portal and enter the requested information. Our support team contacts you shortly after to confirm your details and create your account.

Log in at console.fptcloud.com (or console.fptcloud.jp from Japan), then select the correct Tenant, Region, and VPC. If you're unsure which to pick, or the system rejects your login after 3 attempts, contact support right away.

note

Your account must have two-factor authentication (MFA) enabled to use AI Infrastructure products.

Create a subnet for the GPU worker nodes​

A Managed GPU Cluster needs a subnet range to assign IPv4 addresses to its bare metal GPU worker nodes. Go to AI infrastructure → Subnets → Create Subnet and follow Create a Subnet to set it up.

note

The Network ACL created by default for a new subnet blocks all inbound traffic and allows all outbound traffic. If you plan to use a Load Balancer with this cluster, open the rules your Load Balancer subnet needs before you rely on it.

Create a subnet for the Load Balancer​

Managed GPU Cluster only works with a subnet that has Static Pool enabled. Go to Network → Subnets → Create Subnet, and when filling in Create a Subnet, check Advanced settings and set a Static IP Pool — a valid IP range drawn from the subnet's CIDR.

Request service activation and quota​

If this is your first time using FPT Cloud, Managed GPU Cluster may not be enabled for your account yet. Contact support with the configuration you need (RAM, CPU, Storage, Public IP, and similar), and we'll provision the resources so you can start using the service.

At minimum, your account needs:

  • A Metal Cloud (Bare Metal HPC) quota that covers the number of clusters you plan to run, with at least 1 network for the bare metal GPU servers.
  • At least 1 network for the Load Balancer.

Once these are in place, move on to Create a cluster. If you run into quota or account questions along the way, check the FAQ.
