Autoscaling.

Demand-driven scaling for CPU and GPU pools — expand for a run, contract when idle, pay for the work.

▦ Compute
Overview

Policy-driven autoscaling across every compute service. Define the signal — utilization, queue depth, latency or a custom metric — and capacity follows demand up and back down to zero.

How it works

Three steps to running.

01
Pick a signal

Scale on utilization, queue depth, latency or a custom application metric.

02
Set bounds

Min/max and budgets so capacity tracks demand without outrunning the wallet.

03
Let it ride

Predictive and scheduled scaling pre-warm for known peaks; idle scales to zero.

What you get

Autoscaling, in full.

Any signal

Scale on CPU, memory, concurrency, queue depth or a custom application metric.

Predictive & scheduled

Pre-warm for known peaks and forecasted demand to avoid cold starts.

Scale to zero

Idle services cost nothing; capacity returns the moment demand does.

Cost guardrails

Min/max bounds and budgets so scaling never outruns the wallet.

API-first

Provision it in a few lines.

Every service is reachable from the same SDK, CLI and infrastructure-as-code — one identity, one bill, one audit trail across the whole catalog.

Use cases

Built for real work.

01

Spiky web and API traffic

02

Bursty training and batch jobs

03

Cost-optimized GPU fleets

Why one platform

On one model, not stitched together.

The usual stack runs autoscaling in one product, the model in another and the data in a third — and the seams between them are the cost. Aether Cloud runs it on the same platform that serves the model, governs your identity and deploys into your boundary, with the rest of the catalog one hop away.

One platform

No stitching a vector DB to one place, a warehouse to another and a model to a third — autoscaling sits next to the rest of the catalog, one identity, one bill.

The model is here

The provider that runs Aether runs your autoscaling — so the data and the model never leave the same governed boundary to talk to each other.

Built on demand

Need a capability that isn’t here yet? The model writes and deploys it into the same boundary — the catalog is a starting point, not a ceiling.

FAQ

Good to know.

How does this compare to AWS Auto Scaling?

Same policy-driven scaling — across CPU and GPU pools, with cost guardrails built in.

Can it scale GPUs?

Yes — expand a GPU fleet for a run and contract it after, on cost signals.

Does it prevent runaway cost?

Min/max bounds and budgets cap scaling so it never outruns the budget.
