A Compute resource is a live inventory of the machines available for deploying AI/ML applications and models. It connects to Palette using the Palette integration configured in Settings, discovers machines that have been tagged for PaletteAI, and reports which ones are healthy and eligible for cluster deployment. The controller refreshes the inventory automatically.
A Compute Config is a reusable blueprint of cluster settings. Platform administrators capture infrastructure details such as networking, Secure Shell (SSH) keys, and node configuration in a Compute Config once. Data scientists and ML engineers then deploy against those defaults without repeating boilerplate.
This page provides technical reference information for the Compute resource: the discovery tags PaletteAI reads from Palette Edge hosts, the spec fields you can set, and the status fields the controller reports. For concepts, refer to Compute. For the raw resource spec, refer to the Compute CRD documentation.
