On demand or interruptible
Choose on-demand machines, or spot machines placed as bids for a lower price. Spot machines can be taken back.
Vast.ai is a marketplace, so the right machine changes by the hour. Surfra searches offers for the GPU you asked for, starts instances in your account when work is waiting, and shuts them down when it is done.
Add your Vast.ai account under Credentials. Surfra checks the key with Vast.ai before saving it, then encrypts it with your team's key. It is never shown again.
