Create Container Group

Container groups are central to Salad Cloud's architecture for managing containerized workloads. A container group is a collection of instances working together to provide a service or application. Salad Cloud offers features like load balancing, inbound networking, and customizable resource allocation for container groups. Managed through the Salad Container Engine (SCE), container groups are fault-tolerant with multiple replicas for failover.

Due to Salad Cloud's use of a distributed network of consumer-grade GPUs, cold start times may be longer, and interruptions more likely compared to traditional providers. To cut down on interruptions, we advise users to begin with three or more replicas per container deployment.
