Overview
QBO Cloud Edition enables users to leverage the power of QBO Kubernetes Engine (QKE) and QBO Container Engine (QCE) for managing Kubernetes clusters and compute workloads with unmatched efficiency and speed. Built to deliver bare-metal performance within a cloud-native experience, QBO Cloud bridges the gap between high-performance computing and the convenience of cloud infrastructure.
With QBO, users gain:
- Direct access to GPU, CPU, and Disk resources
- Lightning-fast operations for cluster and instance lifecycle management
- Full control via Web UI, CLI, or the QBO AsyncAPI
Whether you’re running AI/ML models, database workloads, or microservices, QBO Cloud delivers the performance of dedicated hardware combined with the elasticity of cloud operations.
Key Benefits
- Bare-metal speed with zero virtualization overhead
- Elastic scaling of Kubernetes clusters and standalone containers
- Unified interface to manage workloads: GUI, CLI, or AsyncAPI
- Seamless GPU integration for compute-heavy workloads
- Real-time observability powered by QBO’s event-driven architecture
Configuration Options
Access to QBO Cloud can be configured using two main interfaces:
Web Interface
- Authenticate using OAuth2 via Google
- Access all QBO resources and operations through a browser
- Ideal for interactive workflows, administrators, and real-time monitoring
For a full walkthrough of the web interface, refer to the Web Interface Guide.
CLI Access
Authenticate using one of two methods:
- Temporary Token: Retrieved via browser session (OAuth2)
- Service Account: Persistent credentials stored locally
For more details on setting up CLI access, refer to the Command Line Interface guide.
QBO Cloud offers a production-grade, high-performance compute environment that is ready to deploy workloads in seconds. Whether you need to launch a full Kubernetes cluster or spin up individual compute containers, QBO gives you the tools to do so with minimal latency and maximum control.
