Stop rebuilding your
environment

every time.

Your Setup is that environment: files, models, packages, config. Captured once and restored onto any GPU, in any datacenter. Pin a version like a git commit. Push code straight from your terminal. Leave it idle and the compute bill stops.

Migration & backup

Move a workload to another provider. Or just get yesterday back.

One snapshot does both. Capture the directory that holds your environment, then restore it onto a different card, a different provider, or the same box tomorrow morning.

01 / MIGRATE
Land wherever it is cheaper

Snapshot the environment, launch on the provider you want, restore into it. There is no separate migration product — the snapshot that backs you up is the one that moves you.

02 / BACK UP
On a schedule, or when you say

Run snapshots automatically or take one by hand. Only the first carries the whole directory and later ones carry what changed, so a frequent schedule stays cheap.

03 / RESTORE
Never tied to the original box

Bring a snapshot back on a different GPU model, region or provider. Stop a box yourself and it is captured on the way out, so it comes back anywhere.

If a provider reclaims a running box, you recover to your last snapshot — not to the instant it died. A schedule keeps that window short.

What a setup does

Three things a rented machine can't do.

A box is disposable and yours isn't. Everything below is the same artifact seen from three sides.

Migrate, pause, or resume across any GPU datacenter.

Pause a Setup in one datacenter and resume it in another, on a different card from a different provider. Your files, models and packages come back the way you left them.

Auto-pause

The box you forgot about pauses itself.

Under 5% GPU for 30 minutes and you get a warning. At 60 the Setup saves itself and the machine is released. Your compute bill stops there — and everything comes back when you resume.

Storage for the saved Setup keeps billing — only the compute stops. Turn auto-pause on per Setup.

Bring your own hardware

Already have the machines? Use them.

If you hold a multi-year lease, the last thing you need is somewhere else to rent. Setups work on hardware we never provisioned.

01 / IMPORT
Turn a box you own into a Setup

aq import surveys the machine, captures it, and registers it as a Setup — versioned, forkable, and launchable on any provider we support.

aq import --dry-run
02 / RUN IN PLACE
Setups on your own machines

Point Aquanode at a box you already pay for. Capture, restore, versions, run and logs — against your own storage bucket, with no account required. Or connect it to the console and get sharing, metrics and endpoints on hardware we never rented.

aq host add lab-01 --ssh root@10.0.4.7

Release a machine and it keeps running. We revoke our credentials and drop the record — we never touch your box.

GPU observability

Every reading straight off the card, while the job is still running.

Utilization, VRAM, temperature and power on a running deployment, refreshed every few seconds — and a reading the card cannot give you says so, instead of showing a zero.
