On any cloud
AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, your data centre or an in-region GPU cloud: self-hosted or managed.
01
The same lifecycle on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud
Self-hosted on the provider's Kubernetes, or on its managed ML services. NGT's Kubeflow reference design covers all three.
Amazon EKS or Amazon SageMaker- Self-hosted: EKS with CPU and GPU node groups, Karpenter for scaling
- Managed: SageMaker Pipelines and endpoints
- Data on S3; FSx for Lustre where throughput matters

Microsoft AzureAKS or Azure Machine Learning- Self-hosted: AKS
- Managed: Azure Machine Learning for training, registry and deployment
- Data on Blob Storage, images in Azure Container Registry

Beyond the hyperscalers
When data may not go to a public cloud region, the same Kubernetes design runs elsewhere.
- Your data centreKubernetes on your hardware, with storage such as NFS, Ceph or MinIO.
- In-region GPU cloudFPT Smart Cloud's FPT AI Factory offers GPU Kubernetes in Vietnam and Japan: an ecosystem option NGT builds on.
- Portable by designOnly basic infrastructure services, so the platform is not tied to one provider.

MLOps as self-service in the developer platform
In an internal developer platform, ML can be a golden path like any other.
