Getting Started With Vantage
This tutorial walks you through the essential Vantage onboarding path: log in, connect on-premises infrastructure, and create your first cluster.
Log in, connect infrastructure, and create your first cluster in under 5 minutes.
Login
Authenticate with your Vantage account: Before running these commands, make sure the Vantage CLI is installed and configured. See the CLI quickstart for setup instructions.
uvx v8x login
Create an on-premises cloud account
Register an on-premises provider:
uvx v8x cloud account create mydatacenter-west --provider on_prem
Cloud accounts link your infrastructure to Vantage so the platform can provision clusters on your behalf. On-premises accounts require no external credentials, just a name.
Create your first cluster.
Provision a new Slurm cluster:
This step uses the slurm-multipass app, which provisions a Slurm cluster inside a Multipass VM. Make sure Multipass is installed before running this command.
uvx v8x cluster create slurm-multipass-demo \
--app slurm-multipass \
--cloud-account mydatacenter-west \
--cluster-type slurm \
--create-team
A cluster is the compute environment where your workloads run. In Vantage, it connects your infrastructure, scheduler, and worker nodes so you can submit jobs, manage capacity, and monitor execution from a single place.
For other connection methods (Ansible, Terraform, Juju, Manual), see the on-premises clusters guide.
