# NVIDIA Cloud Functions

This guide provides information for deploying and operating NVCF in self-managed environments.

NVCF ships as three independently versioned Helm stacks.

- [Self-Managed Stack](/nvcf/self-managed/installation-overview)
  : Control plane installation, configuration, function APIs, and operations.
- [Compute Plane Stack](/nvcf/compute-plane/gpu-cluster-setup)
  : GPU cluster setup, scheduling, and caches.
- [Observability Stack](/nvcf/observability/observability)
  : Metrics, dashboards, and alerting.
- [Compatibility Matrix](/nvcf/release-notes/compatibility-matrix)
  : Stack releases that are qualified to run together.

## Getting started

- [Quickstart](/nvcf/overview/quickstart)
  : Install the control plane, register a GPU cluster, and validate the deployment with the one-click CLI flow.
- [Deployment](/nvcf/self-managed/installation-overview)
  : Compare the one-click and Helmfile installation paths.
- [GPU Cluster Setup](/nvcf/compute-plane/gpu-cluster-setup)
  : Connect GPU clusters to the NVCF control plane.
- [Configuration](/nvcf/self-managed/gateway-routing)
  : Configure gateway routing, registries, and invocation options.
- [Using Cloud Functions](/nvcf/overview/api)
  : Create and invoke functions using the NVCF API and CLI.
