Scale and automate

Outcome You scale workloads beyond regular applications and automate Nuvolos operations from scripts.

Before you start

• You have a workload that needs more compute than self-service application scaling provides, or you want to automate Nuvolos operations.

• You have read the conceptual model - see Concepts › The hierarchy and resource model for HPC and resource pools.

Three capabilities cover this part of the lifecycle. None of them are duplicated here - they have full reference pages of their own.

• HPC Spaces and credit-based sizes - scale individual applications onto dedicated nodes with up to 120 vCPUs / 456 GB RAM and GPU configurations. Enabled per space by a Space Administrator. See Administration › Space management.

• Nuvolos CLI - control applications, sessions, and workflows from a shell, either inside Nuvolos or on your local machine. Useful for automated pipelines (start → run script → stop). See Reference › CLI and Python API.

• Nuvolos Python API - the same operations as the CLI, exposed as Python functions. Useful for integrating Nuvolos into scripts, notebooks, and CI/CD systems. See Reference › CLI and Python API.

For large-scale batch workloads that exceed the limits of self-service sizes, contact Nuvolos support to discuss dedicated compute nodes.
