Getting started
Set up your account and run your first workload on Perpetual Compute.
Account setup
Perpetual Compute is available through AWS Marketplace. You need an AWS account and an active subscription to our product before you can deploy workloads.
- Go to our listing on AWS Marketplace and click Subscribe.
- Complete the subscription flow. AWS will redirect you to our registration page with a one-time token.
- Our app will link your AWS identity to your Perpetual Compute account and land you on the dashboard.
For step-by-step registration and billing details, see AWS Marketplace. To add colleagues to your subscription, see Teams and invites.
Prerequisites
Before you deploy, ensure you have:
- An active AWS Marketplace subscription to Perpetual Compute
- A Docker image that runs your workload (training, inference, or other GPU/CPU job)
- Optional: an S3 bucket or other destination where your workload will write results (see Workload input and output)
Docker from scratch
If you are new to Docker, see our Docker workloads guide for how to build and push an image that is ready to deploy.
First deployment
After signing in to the portal, you can launch a deployment in a few steps:
- Open the deployment or launch flow in the app.
- Provide your Docker image URI (e.g. from ECR or another registry).
- Choose instance type and region (or accept defaults).
- Optionally set environment variables or startup command.
- Start the deployment. The platform provisions a Spot instance and runs your container.
When AWS sends a Spot interruption notice, migration runs automatically. You do not need to take any action.
