# AI Platform-as-a-Service

The NCP Software Reference is intended to run a wide range of industry
AI platforms to best enable the NCP and their customer workloads. There
are many examples, like Amazon SageMaker, Red Hat® AI Inference Server,
NVIDIA NIM™ and NVIDIA NeMo™, SkyPilot, Slurm (and Slinky), Run:ai and more.

NVIDIA provides AI platform software for training and inference
workloads.

These platforms serve different deployment models. Run:ai is suited
for shared Kubernetes environments with multi-team GPU scheduling.
NVIDIA Cloud Functions provides serverless inference with dedicated multitenancy. Slurm
is suited for single-tenant HPC and large-scale training. NCPs should
select based on their tenant requirements.
