Console Reference

The NVIDIA Brev console at brev.nvidia.com provides a web interface for managing your GPU resources and team.

Navigation Overview

The console sidebar organizes features into these main sections:

GPU Instances

The GPUs section displays all instances in your organization.

Creating an Instance

Instance Details

Click any instance to view its details page with:

• Status: Current state (Running, Stopped, Starting, etc.)
• GPU: Type and count of attached GPUs
• Uptime: How long the instance has been running
• Disk Usage: Current storage utilization

Access Tab

The Access tab provides connection information:

SSH Connection

• Instance hostname for direct SSH access
• Command to copy: ssh <instance-name>

Using Tunnels Expose ports with publicly accessible URLs:

1. Enter a port number (e.g., 8888 for Jupyter)
2. Click Add
3. Copy the generated URL

Port Exposure View and manage which ports are exposed on your instance.

Blueprints & Launchables

Blueprints

Blueprints are preconfigured environment templates that include:

• Base container image
• Preinstalled packages and dependencies
• Environment configuration

Common blueprints include PyTorch, TensorFlow, and RAPIDS environments.

Launchables

Launchables are quick-start templates for specific use cases:

• JupyterLab: Ready-to-use notebook environment
• VS Code Server: Browser-based VS Code
• LLM Fine-tuning: Preconfigured for model training

Select a Launchable when creating an instance to start with everything preconfigured.

Team Management

Manage your organization’s members and permissions.

Inviting Members

Managing Members

From the Team page you can:

• View all organization members
• Change member roles
• Remove members from the organization

Billing & Usage

Use the Billing page to track costs, manage credits, review payment history, and understand how quickly your organization is using its balance.

Usage Dashboard

The Usage Dashboard shows usage for the selected date range. It defaults to the current month.

View:

• Compute and storage costs over time
• Usage grouped by user or instance
• Total cost for the selected date range

Credits and Auto Recharge

Your credit balance is shared across the organization. Running instances consume credits for compute and may also consume credits for storage. The balance indicator in the console shows your current balance and, when resources are running, an estimated burn rate and remaining hours.

Use the Credits section to:

• Add funds
• Redeem a credit code
• Enable or disable auto recharge
• Set the balance threshold that triggers auto recharge
• Set the amount to add when auto recharge runs

Auto recharge helps prevent interrupted work. When your balance falls below your configured threshold, Brev attempts to add funds using your saved payment method.

If auto recharge succeeds, your credits are updated automatically. If auto recharge fails, Brev emails the billing contact and stops attempting auto recharge until billing is updated.

Running Out of Credits

If your organization runs out of credits, Brev sends a warning email and pauses any instances that have stop-start ability. Instances that cannot be paused are deleted.

If credits are not added, Brev sends another warning after 24 hours. If the organization remains out of credits, Brev deletes all remaining resources.

Resource Limits

Resource limits are separate from credits. Your organization may have a maximum allowed resource usage rate, shown in dollars per hour. If you need to run larger or more expensive workloads, contact brev-support@nvidia.com to request a higher limit.

Payment Methods

Add and manage credit cards used for credit purchases and auto recharge. Keep a valid payment method on file if you want auto recharge to protect running workloads.

Invoices

Review payment history and download available invoices for accounting and reimbursement.
