Introduction

Deployment of public cloud integration into DGX BasePOD should be done after on-premises components and services have been deployed, according to the NVIDIA DGX BasePOD Deployment Guide. The tool within BCM that enables this integration is Cluster Extension (cm-cluster-extension). It allows an administrator to integrate a public cloud provider account into an on-premises deployment and configure what resources will be provisioned using that public cloud provider and what regions those resources will be provisioned in. The public cloud resources appear side-by-side with on-premises resources in administrator tools, with access to public cloud-specific configuration capabilities when necessary. A depiction of the multi-cloud usage model is shown in Figure 1.
