Create a Subnet​

A subnet is required to create and deploy your Bare Metal GPU server.

Create Bare Metal GPU Servers​

  1. Click AI Infrastructure and select Metal Cloud in the Sidemenu.
  2. Choose Create server and configure the server deployment.
  3. Two FPT images for GPU and AI/ML are available; check software dependencies at their OS image doc.
  4. You may select a Floating IP (Public IP) during creation or attach it later under Network/Floating IP.
  5. Follow the detailed guide at fptcloud.com/en/documents/metal-cloud/?doc=create-server.

Access to Servers​

  1. Attach a Floating IP if not chosen during creation (guide at server-action).
  2. Configure Network ACL (doc at network-acl) to create an inbound rule allowing your Public IPs.
  3. SSH into the server with your SSH key or password as configured during creation.
  4. You can also set a Jump host for additional security settings (guide at access-server doc).

The default username is clouduser.

Notices​

  • Check Tenant & Region after accessing the FPT Cloud Console. AI Factory is only supported in the Hanoi 2 (Vietnam) and Tokyo (Japan) regions.

  • You may change the default Network ACL, but ensure other required rules are set for creating servers. The default outbound rule is:

PriorityTypeProtocolPortDestinationTraffic Action
100ALLALLALL0.0.0.0/0ALLOW

If you delete that default rule, you must add these outbound rules to create and deploy the server:

PriorityTypeProtocolPortSourceTraffic Action
1HTTPTCP800.0.0.0/0ALLOW
2HTTPSTCP4430.0.0.0/0ALLOW
3DNS (UDP)UDP530.0.0.0/0ALLOW
  • FPT sets limitation (quota) for resource quantity according to your contracts/agreements. If you run out of resources, you cannot create new ones. Contact your salesman or FPT Smart Cloud Support.
