16:25Spare Cores: Bringing Clarity to Cloud Server Options
Spare Cores is a vendor-independent, open-source, Python ecosystem that offers a comprehensive inventory and performance evaluation of compute resources across cloud server providers. We start all server types publicly (GHA) to run hardware inspection tools and benchmarks for different workloads. Our findings are published as open data and open-source tools to help you identify and optionally start the most cost-efficient instance type for your specific use cases (e.g. ML model training or CI/CD pipelines) in your cloud environment. Additionally, we are working on a SaaS solution built on this open-source ecosystem, managing the entire lifecycle of containerized batch jobs without requiring direct vendor engagement.
