Capacity comes from nodes connected to subnets. Providers run nodes on machines that can execute workloads. Operators inspect nodes to understand what capacity is connected to a subnet.

​
Nodes

A node is a machine connected to IDYL as compute capacity. Node state includes whether the node is connected or disconnected, the subnet it is associated with, and reported capacity such as CPU, memory, GPU count, and capabilities. Use idyl node get to inspect nodes in a subnet.

​
Fleets

A fleet is a provider-managed group of nodes. Fleets are identified by fleet ID. The fleet display name is a label and can be changed. Use fleets when capacity should be managed or admitted as a group. A provider admission grant can target a fleet, and nodes in that fleet can participate according to the grant.

​
Capacity matching

Workload placement depends on the pod spec:
  • Container CPU, memory, and disk requests.
  • Pod-level GPU requirement.
  • Host capability requirements.
Nodes that do not match the workload requirements cannot run that workload.
