Show HN: Oblivus GPU Cloud – Affordable and scalable GPU servers from $0.29/hr

This is Doruk from Oblivus, and I'm excited to announce the launch of our platform, Oblivus Cloud. After more than a year of beta testing, we're excited to offer you a platform where you can deploy affordable and scalable GPU virtual machines in as little as 30 seconds! https://oblivus.com/cloud

- What sets Oblivus Cloud apart?

At the start of our journey, we had two primary goals in mind: to democratize High-Performance Computing and make it as straightforward as possible. We understand that maintaining GPU servers through major cloud service providers can be expensive, with hidden fees adding to the burden of running and maintaining servers. Additionally, the cloud can sometimes be overly complex for individuals who don't have much knowledge but still require powerful computing resources. That's why we decided to create a platform that offers affordable pricing, easy usability, and high-quality performance.

- Features

1. Fully customizable infrastructure that lets you switch between CPU and GPU configurations to suit your needs.

2. Transparent and affordable per-minute-based Pay-As-You-Go pricing with no hidden fees. Plus, free data ingress and egress. (Pricing: https://oblivus.com/pricing/)

3. Optimized cost with storage and IP address-only billing when the virtual machine is shut down.

4. Each virtual machine comes with 10Gbps to 40Gbps public network connectivity.

5. NVMe ($0.00011/GB/hr) and HDD ($0.00006/GB/hr) storage that is 3x replicated to fulfill your storage needs.

6. Choose from a variety of cutting-edge CPUs and 10 state-of-the-art GPU SKUs. (Availability: https://oblivus.com/availability/)

7. OblivusAI OS images come with pre-installed ML libraries, so you can start training your models right away without the hassle of installing and configuring the necessary libraries.

8. If you're working with a team, utilize our organization feature to simplify the billing process. Everyone in your organization uses the same billing profile, so you don't need to keep track of multiple accounts.

9. No quotas or complex verification processes. Whether you represent a company, an institution, or you're a researcher, you have full access to our infrastructure without any limitations.

10. Easy-to-use API with detailed documentation so that you can integrate your code with ours.

- Pricing

At Oblivus Cloud, we provide pricing that is affordable, transparent, and up to 80% cheaper than major cloud service providers. Here is a breakdown of our pricing:

1. CPU-based virtual machines starting from just $0.019/hour.

2. NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000s starting from $0.27/hour.

3. Tesla V100s starting from $0.51/hour.

4. NVIDIA A40s and RTX A6000s starting from $1.41/hour.

We also offer 6 other GPU SKUs to help you accurately size your workloads and only pay for what you need. Say goodbye to hidden fees and unpredictable costs.

If you represent a company, be sure to register for a business account to access even better pricing rates.

We often receive comparisons to Lambda, but it ultimately boils down to your specific requirements and preferences. As you mentioned, our platform is tailored for personalized virtual machine configurations, distinguishing us from other cloud service providers that offer pre-set configurations. We strongly believe that this level of flexibility is a key differentiator and delivers enhanced value to our customers.

Given how easy it is to shoot oneself in the foot with stolen credentials or bad Terraform code, I'd think it should be possible for users to set their own quota that is locked for, say, 24 hours to at least put a cap on abuse scenario costs.

Just wanted to clarify; currently, our platform operates on a pre-paid system where users are required to make a deposit to initiate server usage. We do offer the option for users to deposit smaller amounts, starting from $5, which helps minimize potential losses in the event of stolen credentials. Additionally, we have an Auto Top-Up system that can automatically replenish your balance based on the settings you specify. We also send notification emails to ensure that any transaction made is intentional and authorized.

As a result, even if you have full access to our platform, you would need an account balance to deploy or maintain virtual machines.

But we genuinely appreciate your suggestion and will give serious consideration to incorporating such a security feature into our platform. Thank you once again for your valuable input!

Remember retail GPUs are much more powerful, much cheaper and much more available than cloud GPUs.
