Creating a preset
Define a reusable session preset with IDE type, compute sizes, images, and storage volumes.
Click Create preset on the Presets list page. The wizard has three steps.
Identity
| Field | Required | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Display name | required | Human-readable name shown on tiles and in the session wizard. |
| Description | optional | Short explanation of what this preset is for. |
| IDE type | required | jupyterlab, vscode, or rstudio. Determines the icon and the default image. |
| Home PVC | optional | Default home volume for sessions created from this preset. If omitted, sessions default to creating a new 5 GiB PVC. |
Pod sizes
Add one or more compute options. Each pod size defines the CPU, memory, and GPU available to a session.
| Field | Required | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Display name | required | Label shown in the session wizard's compute step (e.g. "Small", "1x GPU"). |
| CPU | required | Number of CPUs or millicores (e.g. 2, 4000m). |
| Memory | required | Memory quantity (e.g. 8Gi, 32Gi). |
| GPU count | optional | Number of GPUs. Zero means CPU-only. |
| GPU vendor | optional | nvidia.com/gpu, amd.com/gpu, or habana.ai/gaudi. |
One pod size must be marked as the default: it will be pre-selected in the session wizard.
Storage
Optionally pre-mount data volumes that every session created from this preset will inherit.
| Field | Required | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Data PVCs | optional | Persistent volume claims to mount automatically. Each entry specifies the claim name, mount path, and read-only flag. |
Sessions can always add extra data volumes at creation time; these are just the ones baked into the preset.
Success looks like this: the preset is created and appears in the preset list, ready to be used when creating sessions.
After creation
The new preset appears on the list immediately. Click it to open the detail view, where you can:
- Browse the full image catalog and pod sizes.
- See which sessions are currently using this preset.
- Click Launch session to start a new session pre-filled with this preset.
Presets are templates, not instances. Editing a preset changes what new sessions see, but it does not modify sessions that are already running.
