What is Compute with Hivenet?

Plan a Compute workload and find the current guides for setup, billing and keeping your files.

Written by Grigor

Compute lets you run GPU or CPU instances for applications, AI workloads and other computing tasks. An instance is a remote computing environment that you create and connect to.

Compute uses a separate account from Store. Open the Compute console to sign in or create an account.

Get started

Follow the Compute quickstart. It explains how to choose an organization, review the configuration and cost, create an instance and connect.

You need access to a Compute organization and enough credits in its balance.

Plan your first task

Before creating an instance, write down what you want to run, the resources it needs and which results or files you need to keep. Use the instance-type guide to choose a container or virtual machine. Review the configuration and estimated cost in the console before creating it.

Keep a short plan with the organization, instance type, expected running time, budget and files to save. Resolve any unanswered requirement before creating the instance.

Understand billing

Compute uses prepaid credits held by your organization. The organization Owner manages credits and payment settings.

See Compute billing for charging rules, payment methods and help with a payment. Other running instances and Inference API endpoints can also use the organization's balance.

If credits run low, workloads can be interrupted or terminated. Keep usable copies of important files outside the instance before the balance runs out.

Before you stop or terminate an instance

Charges for an instance apply while it is Running and stop when it leaves that state. Stop keeps the instance temporarily. Terminate permanently deletes the instance and its local data.

Download files you want to keep before terminating. Stopped instances also have a retention deadline, so read Stop or terminate an instance before choosing an action.
