Getting information about a GPU cluster

Written by

Management console
CLI
Terraform
API
  1. In the management console, go to the folder containing your GPU cluster.
  2. Select Compute Cloud.
  3. In the left-hand panel, select GPU clusters.
  4. Select the cluster.
  5. The Overview page will show the GPU cluster details.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI installed yet, install and initialize it.

By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

  1. See the description of the CLI command for getting information about a GPU cluster:

    yc compute gpu-cluster get --help
    
  2. Get information about a GPU cluster by specifying its name or ID:

    yc compute gpu-cluster get <GPU_cluster_name>
    

    Result:

    id: fhm6cnc4kpp8********
    folder_id: b1gqs1teo2q2********
    created_at: "2024-02-14T15:10:21Z"
    name: test-cluster
    status: READY
    zone_id: ru-central1-a
    interconnect_type: INFINIBAND
    

With Terraform, you can quickly create a cloud infrastructure in Yandex Cloud and manage it using configuration files. These files store the infrastructure description written in HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL). If you change the configuration files, Terraform automatically detects which part of your configuration is already deployed, and what should be added or removed.

Terraform is distributed under the Business Source License. The Yandex Cloud provider for Terraform is distributed under the MPL-2.0 license.

For more information about the provider resources, see the relevant documentation on the Terraform website or its mirror.

If you do not have Terraform yet, install it and configure the Yandex Cloud provider.

To get information about a GPU cluster using Terraform:

  1. Add the data and output sections to the Terraform configuration file:

    data "yandex_compute_gpu_cluster" "my_gpu_cluster" {
      gpu_cluster_id = "<GPU_cluster_ID>"
    }
    
    output "gpu_cluster" {
      value = data.yandex_compute_gpu_cluster.my_gpu_cluster.zone
    }
    

    Where:

    • data "yandex_compute_gpu_cluster": Description of the GPU cluster as a data source:
      • gpu_cluster_id: GPU cluster ID.
    • output "gpu_cluster": Output variable that contains information about the GPU cluster availability zone:
      • value: Returned value.

    You can replace zone with any other parameter to get the information you need. For more information about the yandex_compute_gpu_cluster data source parameters, see the relevant provider documentation.

  2. Create the resources:

    1. In the terminal, go to the directory where you edited the configuration file.

    2. Make sure the configuration file is correct using this command:

      terraform validate
      

      If the configuration is correct, you will get this message:

      Success! The configuration is valid.
      
    3. Run this command:

      terraform plan
      

      You will see a detailed list of resources. No changes will be made at this step. If the configuration contains any errors, Terraform will show them.

    4. Apply the changes:

      terraform apply
      
    5. Type yes and press Enter to confirm the changes.

    Terraform will create the required resources and display their output variables. To check the results, run this command:

    terraform output
    

    Result:

    zone = ru-central1-a
    

To get detailed information about a GPU cluster, use the get REST API method for the GpuCluster resource or the GpuClusterService/Get gRPC API call.
