Quick start

From terminal to isolated compute.

Self-service AMD GPU compute with no sales handoff in the way.

First launch steps

01

Create an account

Log in to the terminal UI and create a team.

02

Add credits

Add credits with Stripe or crypto stablecoins (USDT and USDC).

03

Launch an instance

Choose a GPU configuration and start your isolated compute.

Terminal access

Connect via SSH.

Log in to the Hot Aisle terminal UI and create your team from the same place you provision compute.

ssh admin.hotaisle.app

For a terminal app, use Ghostty on macOS and Linux, or WezTerm on Windows.

After launch

Next steps

Your VM already comes with a recent ROCm setup, and Docker or Podman is ready to go. AMD recommends using their dev containers, which is a lot easier than installing everything by hand, and their docs are solid. If you have any feedback, we’d be happy to pass it along to them.

Quickstart with AMD

Start your container with an external volume so your work remains available after the container exits.
