Quickstart

Log In or Sign Up

• If you have an account, log in with Google or email/password.

• If you’re new to Nebula Block, create an account for free.

Create a GPU Instance

• Choose a Location

  • Select the preferred region for your instance to optimize performance and minimize latency.

• Select Hardware Configuration

  • Choose from the available GPU options:

    • NVIDIA H100: Best for large-scale AI model training.

    • NVIDIA A100: Ideal for AI/ML workloads and data analytics.

    • NVIDIA L40s: A more budget-friendly option for complex tasks like AI inference and graphics workloads.

    • RTX A6000: Great for 3D rendering, simulations, and visualization.

    • RTX 4090: A great cost-effective option for demanding GPU tasks.

• Choose an Operating System/Image

• Select an SSH Public Key (if applicable)

  • Create or select an existing SSH public key for secure access to the instance.

  • Note that some instances may not support SSH Public Keys yet, in which case a secure username and password will be provided to you.

• Set a Server Name

  • Assign a meaningful name to your instance for easy identification.

• Deploy

  • Review your configuration and click "Deploy". Your instance will be provisioned and ready within minutes.

Connect to Your GPU Instance

SSH Key Authentication

Once your instance is running, connect to it using SSH:

ssh -i /path/to/your/private/key username@instance-ip

• Replace /path/to/your/private/key with the path to your private SSH key.

• Replace username with the username of your instance, and replace instance-ip with the public IP Address of your instance. You can find the username and Public IP Address information in your instance detail page.

Password Authentication

Once your instance is running, connect to it using SSH:

ssh username@instance-ip

• You'll then be prompted for your password. Simply enter it and press Enter.

• Replace username with the username of your instance, and replace instance-ip with the public IP Address of your instance.

• You can find the username, password and Public IP Address in your instance detail page.

Manage Your Instance

• Access the Dashboard

  • Use the Instances section in your Nebula Block dashboard to view all active instances.

  • Click "View" button to view the details of the instance.

• Actions

  • User the dashboard controls to manage instance states: Power on, Power off, Reboot or Terminate Instances (note that some instances may only support the Terminate action).
