June has been a blast at CUDOS, filled with big updates for CUDOS Intercloud, new ways to pay, our new incentive program, and much more.

Let’s jump into last month’s highlights!

CUDOS Intercloud Enhancements

We’ve rolled out significant updates to the CUDOS Intercloud platform to enhance your experience:

  • Private Networks: Secure and cost-effective private networks are now available, allowing you to create non-public networks for your VMs. This feature enhances security and reduces the need for multiple IP addresses, saving costs. Manage and create these networks from the new dedicated page within Intercloud.
  • Bulk VM Creation: Quickly deploy multiple VMs with the same configuration using the Count box at the bottom of the create VM page. This feature is perfect for scaling your operations efficiently.
  • VM Pagination and Search: Improved navigation with pagination and a new search box to filter VMs quickly by typing in the desired string. This makes managing a large number of VMs more user-friendly.
  • Bulk VM Deletion: Simplified management with the ability to select and delete multiple machines at once. This helps manage resources more effectively.
  • Delete Confirmation: A confirmation step has been added before deleting any VMs to prevent accidental deletions.
  • Additional Updates: Deleting a VM now instantly removes it from the machines list, with an option to view deleted VMs by toggling a switch. Minor bugs have been squashed to improve the overall platform experience.

  • NVIDIA A40: Designed for data center visual computing, it excels in AI acceleration, scientific simulations, and 3D design.
  • NVIDIA A5000: Balances performance and cost, making it ideal for professionals needing powerful GPU capabilities without breaking the bank.
  • NVIDIA V100: High-performance GPU for intensive computational tasks, especially in AI and deep learning applications.
