Crater A Kubernetes-native control plane for shared AI computing clusters Operate shared **GPU clusters**, **LLM training and serving workloads**, **developer environments**, and **data/model assets** across research, education, and enterprise teams. It helps organizations manage heterogeneous compute resources, submit and govern AI workloads, quickly deploy large-model training and inference environments, and observe cluster health from a unified web console, CLI, and AI-assisted operations interface. Crater is designed for environments where different teams and workloads share the same

GPU cluster: long-running training jobs, bursty lab workloads, interactive notebooks, online AI services, LLM inference services, and offline data processing pipelines. It builds an operational control plane on top of Kubernetes and Volcano, connecting users, accounts, queues, quotas, images, datasets, models, jobs, services, and observability into one workflow. Crater is organized around four layers: **User interfaces**: web console, CLI, HTTP APIs, and agent-friendly command skills. **Control plane**: authentication, accounts, quotas, scheduling policies, jobs, services, templates, images, datasets, models

, approvals, and operations. **Execution layer**: Kubernetes workloads, Volcano scheduling, accelerator resources, Pods, Services, PVCs, and external access rules for training, serving, and interactive environments. **Observability and AI operations layer**: metrics, logs, Grafana dashboards, operation records, runtime diagnostics, AI assistant workflows, and admin-side intelligent operations.
