Deliver AI platforms and applications quickly and easily

Mirantis k0rdent AI’s built-in AI PaaS layer integrates with the GPU PaaS and builds on Mirantis k0rdent Enterprise core functionality. It’s a unified platform for defining, deploying, and lifecycle managing AI/ML development, testing, and application hosting environments on Kubernetes, on bare metal, in clouds, and/or out to the edge.

Leveraging AI PaaS, cloud service providers (CSPs) are using k0rdent to swiftly engineer and deliver value-added AI services to customers. Enterprises are leveraging the same functionality to speed innovation: rolling out ready-to-use training and inference platforms to data scientists, data engineers, and developers, so they can innovate quickly and safely, without friction.



Features:

Move fast without risk: template-driven operations speed innovation, cut setup from months to days, and get new services online quickly.

Innovate without friction: assemble pre-validated, template-defined open source AI and k0rdent ecosystem partner-provided components into bespoke solutions quickly, with minimum skills required.

Unified lifecycle control: manage Kubernetes clusters and AI services in one platform, across bare metal, private, or hyperscaler clouds.

Secure and compliant: control where data and models reside and how tenants and users connect with them. Easily isolate tenants up and down the full stack. Automatically enforce policies everywhere from a single source of truth.

Operator friendly and self-service ready: configurable web UIs and catalogs for creating and consuming services impose guardrails while eliminating bottlenecks, letting your whole organization move faster with AI.

Observable and billable: built-in observability and fine-grained FinOps help track, allocate, and optimize performance, utilization, cost, and maximize upsides.

TURNKEY TRAINING

Turnkey Training for AI Factories on Kubernetes

Stand up governed, reusable training factories fast.

Turnkey Training in Mirantis k0rdent AI lets teams spin up approved stacks for data prep, notebooks, distributed training, evaluation, and promotion—tying model registry, lineage, and live telemetry into a continuous improvement loop. GPU-aware orchestration drives throughput; policy-as-code, audit trails, and multi-tenancy keep work compliant and secure; built-in observability and FinOps connect usage and cost to projects and models.

Neoclouds

Productize training workbenches: Publish curated templates (e.g., KubeRay, Slurm/Soperator, MLflow, model registry) so customers can fine-tune and train quickly.

Close the factory loop: Feed inference telemetry, quality, and cost signals back into data selection and evaluation to improve models each cycle.

Hit performance and cost targets: flexible, GPU-aware orchestration lets you serve more tenants with the same hardware and ensure that SLOs and cost objectives are met.

Monetize with confidence: Quotas/SLAs, per-hour or outcome-aligned pricing, and billing integrations turn commodity GPU rental into higher-margin services.


Enterprises

Accelerate from experiment to production: Self-service, governed environments connect to approved data, track lineage, and promote models through gated stages.

Operate safely at scale: Canary/A-B testing, rollback, and drift/latency telemetry feed targeted retraining; multi-tenancy protects teams on shared clusters.

Unify legacy & modern tooling: Run VM-dependent tools alongside containerized services under one Kubernetes-native framework.

Prove value & ensure compliance: Policy-as-code, audit logging, and per-project cost allocation provide accountability for leaders and regulators.

FAQ

AI PaaS (Artificial Intelligence Platform as a Service) is a neo-platform as a service model that helps organizations adopt AI faster by providing ready-to-use AI capabilities. It typically bundles the products and services needed to develop, deploy, and manage AI applications in a streamlined way.
