Optional Enhancements

NVCF supports several optional components that can enhance your deployment’s performance, routing, and GPU cluster capabilities. Each component has its own installation and configuration guide.

Low-Latency Streaming

• LLS Installation - Required for streaming Cloud Functions using WebRTC

LLM Functions

• LLM Function Enablement - Required for functionType: "LLM" functions using the LLM invocation gateway

NVCF Caches

• container-cache - Accelerates container image pulls by caching layers locally
• gxcache - Shader caching for simulation and rendering workloads

Vanity Gateway

Vanity Gateway is an optional HTTP gateway service for deployments that need customer-facing hostnames or path mappings in front of the standard NVCF API and invocation routes. It is available only in stack packages that include the Vanity Gateway addon. Older packages do not contain the vanity-gateway release or route values.

When the addon is present and enabled, it is deployed as the vanity-gateway service and exposed through the Gateway API route vanity.<domain> by default. Enable it only when you need a vanity routing layer. Standard API, API Keys, invocation, LLM invocation, and gRPC routes do not require it. See Gateway Routing for routing and verification details.
