VESSL Cloud manages a layered software stack for Container Compute Services (workspaces and batch jobs). This page describes which components VESSL Cloud is responsible for, which components you are responsible for, and how security patching works.

​
Components VESSL Cloud manages

These components run in the region of the cluster you select when you launch a workload.

​
VESSL Cloud-provided base images

VESSL Cloud publishes prebuilt container images you can use as a starting point for your workspaces and batch jobs. Each family ships in multiple CUDA and Python version combinations. The image selector shows the available variants when you create a Workspace or Job. Updates to these images are announced in the changelog. You can also bring your own container images. Responsibility for images you supply is governed by the Container Compute service terms.

​
Security patching

VESSL Cloud applies security patches to the components it manages; you keep the images and code you bring up to date.
If your workload uses a container image you supplied, keeping that image up to date is your responsibility. VESSL Cloud does not modify your images.
Severity-based response times, advance notice for disruptive patches, and notification procedures are defined in the Service Level Agreement (SLA). Notable stack updates, including new VESSL Cloud-provided base images, are announced in the changelog.
