We (Saturn Cloud) published a write-up on the architecture and setup process for running our platform on Nebius. The goal was to make it straightforward for teams to use GPU-backed environments without having to spend much time dealing with Kubernetes operations.
The article walks through how resources are provisioned, how environments are created, how GPU jobs are scheduled, and what abstractions we use to keep the system flexible while hiding most of the complexity of the underlying cluster. It also includes some of the design decisions we made along the way and a few of the tradeoffs we ran into.
Since we built the system, I’m happy to answer questions about the architecture, decisions, limitations, or areas we are still iterating on.
That is good to hear! Framework has not been helpful on either minor or major issues when I've tried working with them, even the forums comingle AMD and Intel laptops without clear distinction muddying the waters as to what issues are relevant to a given user.
I've had the opposite experience, personally. There's a ton of helpful information on their forum both from community members and employees. Getting NixOS on my AMD Framework 13 took some doing and the forum was super helpful when it came to various issues.
That said, I _do_ agree that the information isn't as well organized as a result of the nature of its creation.
This has not been true for years. My google ads account was blocked, I had several google engineer friends create internal tickets for my case, and none of it worked out.
No, I just live in this reality. If the friends you have are not high enough on the food chain to get what you need done, then it's time to make friends in higher places.
Some of the most evil people have been super friendly. That's how they lure you in. It's kind of like The Firm. They lure you in with all of that glorious salary, all of those perks like free food, they let you work on projects that seem quite cool and almost decent at the beginning. Then, once you're accustomed to everything and are pretty locked in, they hit you with the shady stuff.
So you kind of have to be friendly, otherwise, no new recruits would join up unless they were just sadists already.
Can anyone comment on external displays? The last time I tried this was about 5 years ago. I had a Samsung chromebook which was a great little device, but the font rendering connected to an external display was too terrible.
