VESSL Cloud lets you access GPUs on demand without managing infrastructure. Launch a workspace, connect using JupyterLab or SSH, and collaborate using shared storage.

### Why VESSL Cloud

* **Instant**: launch GPU instances with JupyterLab and SSH in a few clicks
* **Consistent**: Docker-based images ensure identical environments across teams and projects
* **Scalable**: scale GPU specs or count as needed; pause or terminate when done
* **Collaborative**: share data and models with team volumes
* **Cost visibility**: clear billing states for running, paused, and terminated workspaces
