Building an Open GPU Cloud with Apache CloudStack

Webinar

Cloud builders today face two critical challenges: how to build sustainable, vendor-independent infrastructure and how to deliver the performance modern workloads demand. With the rapid growth of GPU-accelerated applications—from AI and machine learning to advanced graphics, image processing, and virtual desktops—these challenges are more pressing than ever.

Watch back our webinar to learn how to design high-performance infrastructure powered by open-source technology and GPUs—while keeping costs predictable and avoiding vendor lock-in.

In this session, we cover:

Why &
How

Why and how to build cloud and virtualization platforms with open-source technology

Eliminating
Vendor Lock-In

How to avoid the vendor lock-in trap and rising licensing costs

Performance Demands

Meeting the performance demands of GPU-accelerated workloads

Getting Market
Advantage

How operators gain a market advantage by serving industries such as healthcare, financial services & more.

Financial
Benefits

The economic upside of GPUaaS: maximizing utilization of idle GPUs, flexible billing models, and new revenue streams with advanced services

We explore the business drivers behind GPU adoption—such as faster time-to-market, higher ROI, and competitive differentiation—and show how Apache CloudStack enables operators to build vendor-neutral, performance-optimized clouds.

On the technical side, we dive into GPU discovery, classification, passthrough and vGPU assignment, and provisioning GPU-backed service offerings for both virtual machines and Kubernetes clusters.

The session concludes with a live demo showing how CloudStack simplifies GPU resource management in real-world deployments.

Join us to see how Apache CloudStack empowers cloud builders to deliver fast, reliable, and future-ready GPU-accelerated infrastructure—with both the technical depth and the business outcomes that matter.
