Concepts

Seven mental models that show up across every Vantage product. Read these once and the rest of the docs make more sense.

• Workspaces — Your team's slice of the cluster (quota, RBAC, cost envelope).
• Jobs and pipelines — Finite computational work and the DAGs that orchestrate it.
• Compute and clusters — Where workloads physically run; profiles, providers, and regions.
• Teams and IAM — How permissions, ownership, and collaboration work.
• Slurm vs. Kubernetes — When to use scheduler-driven HPC workloads versus cloud-native orchestration.
• Why Teams and IAM — The reasoning behind separating collaboration boundaries from access control.
• Workbench ML Stack — How sessions, training, models, endpoints, and observability fit together.
