Deploy Instance

Deploy GPU-accelerated instances with custom hardware configurations and storage options.

Prerequisites

Complete these requirements before deploying:

Account Authentication

Complete Profile

Ensure your account profile contains:

Full name

Billing address (address line 1)

Postal code

Country

Navigate to Account Settings to complete missing information.

Verify Balance

Confirm sufficient account balance for hourly deployment costs. Deployments require minimum one hour of prepaid balance.

Deployment Configuration

1. GPU Configuration

Configure GPU model and quantity for your instance. View complete GPU specifications and selection guide.

Available GPU Models:

Advanced Regions: B300-262GB, B200-180GB, H200-141GB, H100-SXM5-80GB

Legacy Regions: H100-PCIe-NVLink-80GB, H100-PCIe-80GB, A100-PCIe-NVLink-80GB, A100-PCIe-80GB, L40, RTX-A6000

All GPU models support quantities: 1, 2, 4, or 8.

2. Region Selection

Select the deployment region for your instance. Available regions are determined by your GPU selection.

Available Regions:

FINLAND-1 (Advanced tier)

FINLAND-2 (Advanced tier)

FINLAND-3 (Advanced tier)

ICELAND-1 (Advanced tier)

CANADA-1 (Legacy tier)

3. Boot Source

Select how your instance will start. Complete boot source configuration guide.

Boot Source Options:

OS Images: Deploy from platform-provided operating system images

Existing Volume: Boot from existing bootable volume

Custom Image: Deploy from custom image

Configuration requirements vary by boot source type and region.

OS Volume Size (Advanced Regions):

Minimum: 100 GB

Maximum: 10,000 GB

Default: 100 GB if not specified

Type: NVMe storage

4. SSH Key Configuration

Configure SSH access to your instance. Create new SSH keys or import existing keys if you haven't already.

SSH key requirements vary by deployment type:

Required for OS Image deployments

Required for Custom Image deployments

Not required for volume boot deployments (Advanced regions) - uses existing volume SSH configuration

5. Additional Configuration (Region-Specific)

Advanced Regions

Startup Scripts

Data Volumes

Legacy Regions

Public IP Configuration

Security Rules

Cloud-Init Scripts

6. Cost Review

Review deployment costs before launching. View current pricing.

Cost Breakdown:

Total Hourly Cost = GPU Cost + Storage Cost

Components:
- GPU: (GPU Rate × Quantity)
- OS Volume: Size-based rate (image deployments)
- Data Volumes: Size and type-based rates (if configured)

Storage costs are calculated based on volume size and type. Costs are calculated in your account's configured currency (USD, EUR, or INR).

Deployment Process

Complete Configuration

Fill all required fields:

GPU model and quantity

Region

Boot source (OS image, volume, or custom image)

SSH key (if required)

Optional features (as needed)

Review Settings

Verify configuration accuracy:

GPU selection matches requirements

Boot source correctly configured

Storage configuration as intended

Costs within budget

Submit Deployment

Click "Deploy" to open deployment confirmation modal.

Instance Name Configuration:

Custom Name (Optional): Enter 3-30 characters (letters, numbers, hyphens, underscores). Cannot start or end with hyphen or underscore. Must be unique within your account and region.

Auto-Generated Name: Leave blank to auto-generate. Format: barrack-{gpu}-{random} (e.g., barrack-h100s-abc)

System performs final validation of profile completeness, balance sufficiency, stock availability, and configuration validity.

Deployment Execution

Platform creates instance with specified configuration. Deployment typically completes within 2-5 minutes.

Access Instance

Once deployed, access your instance:

Instance ID: BRK-XXXXXXVM format

IP address (if public IP enabled)

SSH access using configured key

Instance details in dashboard

Post-Deployment

After successful deployment:

Instance appears in dashboard with status "CREATING"

Status updates to "ACTIVE" when fully provisioned

IP address assigned (if public IP enabled)

SSH access available using configured key

Billing begins immediately upon deployment

Email confirmation sent to account email

Validation and Errors

Deployment validation occurs at multiple stages.

Common Validation Errors

Profile Incomplete

Insufficient Credits

Missing Required Fields

Invalid Instance Name

Duplicate Instance Name

Out of Stock

SSH Key Not Found

Volume Not Available

SSH Key Invalid for Volume Boot

Stock Availability

GPU stock is validated in real-time during deployment. Stock availability can change between configuration and deployment submission - the system performs final validation immediately before deployment.

API Deployment

Deploy instances programmatically using our API. View complete endpoint documentation, authentication details, request/response schemas, and code examples in our API Reference.
