Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about RunPod Bare Metal servers
What is Bare Metal?
Bare Metal provides dedicated physical GPU servers with zero virtualization. Unlike our standard cloud GPU instances which run on Docker containers, Bare Metal gives you direct hardware access to the entire server with no layers between your code and the hardware.
Why use Bare Metal?
Bare Metal eliminates containerization overhead, removes 'noisy neighbors' causing unpredictable performance, and delivers consistent throughput for long-running workloads. You get complete control over your environment including drivers, libraries, and OS customizations with cost savings of up to 74% compared to major cloud providers.
What GPU models are available?
We offer NVIDIA H100s (80GB), H200s, B200s, A100s, and L40S, with multiple configuration options including 8× H100 configurations with NVLink/NVSwitch. We plan to expand to other high-end NVIDIA models as they become available.
What are the commitment options?
We offer 3-month, 6-month, 12-month, and 24-month terms with increasing discounts for longer commitments. Longer commitments provide greater discounts, with up to 74% savings compared to major cloud providers.
How quickly can I get started?
Initial setup is completed within 24-48 hours after reservation confirmation. Note that initial availability is limited to specific data center regions, and custom hardware configurations may have longer provisioning times.
