Dev Pod

For AI application developers, having a convenient development environment is essential for building and testing applications.

DGX Cloud Lepton provides a solution called Dev Pods — lightweight, container-based AI development environments.

Create a Dev Pod

Navigate to create pod page on the dashboard, where you can configure and launch the Dev Pod.

Fill in the name, select a node group and the machine type in the resource section, click on the "Create" button in the bottom of the page, and the Dev Pod will be started soon.

You need to have a node group with available nodes in the workspace first.

Access via Web Terminal

After the creation, you can visit the details page, where you can check the status, connection information, metrics and more of the Dev Pod.

Switch to the Terminal tab, DGX Cloud Lepton will automatically establish a connection to the Dev Pod, allowing you to control it through a fully functional web terminal.
