The NVIDIA Brev console at [brev.nvidia.com](https://brev.nvidia.com) provides a web interface for managing your GPU resources, deployments, and team.

## Navigation Overview

The console sidebar organizes features into these main sections:

| Section         | Purpose                                          |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| **GPUs**        | Create and manage GPU instances.                 |
| **Deployments** | Manage serverless NIM deployments.               |
| **Blueprints**  | Preconfigured environments for common workflows. |
| **Launchables** | Quick-start templates for specific use cases.    |
| **Team**        | Manage organization members and permissions.     |
| **Billing**     | View usage, invoices, and payment methods.       |

## GPU Instances

The GPUs section displays all instances in your organization.

### Creating an Instance

<Steps>
  <Step title="Click Create Instance">
    From the GPUs page, click the **Create Instance** button.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select GPU Type">
    Choose from available GPU types (L40S, A100, H100, etc.) based on your workload needs.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Instance">
    * Enter an instance name
    * Select a base image or Launchable
    * Choose disk size
    * Optionally configure environment variables
  </Step>

  <Step title="Launch">
    Click **Create** to provision your instance. Setup typically takes 1-2 minutes.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### 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

<Callout intent="info">
  Tunnels route through Cloudflare and require browser authentication on first access. For direct API access without browser redirects, use `brev port-forward` from the CLI instead.
</Callout>

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

## Deployments

The Deployments section manages serverless NVIDIA Inference Microservices (NIMs).

### Deployment List

View all deployments with:

* Deployment name and model
* Status (Active, Deploying, Stopped)
* Worker count (current / max)
* Endpoint URL

### Deployment Details

Click a deployment to access:

* **Metrics**: Invocation counts, latency percentiles, error rates
* **Logs**: Real-time deployment logs
* **Settings**: Min/max workers, GPU configuration

Refer to [Serverless Deployments](/guides/inference-deployment/serverless-deployments) for detailed deployment management.

## 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
