Immutable Vast.ai Instance Deployment

Overview

Make the deployment reproducible outside the console. Bind release bytes to an immutable image and versioned template hash, launch a canary under policy, validate service and GPU health, then promote or destroy.

Prerequisites

• Release commit, image digest, template hash, ports, environment names, and startup contract
• Offer policy, health checks, artifact/checkpoint destinations, and maximum rollout time
• Last-known-good image/template plus rollback and teardown owners

Instructions

Step 1: Freeze the deployment manifest

Record all non-secret template settings, image digest, on-start behavior, exposed ports, disk, label, and required GPU/host constraints.

Step 2: Validate outside production
