Managed GPU compute platform on DGX Cloud. Jobs are submitted as container workloads that run on dedicated or shared GPU node groups. Lepton handles scheduling, image pulling, log collection, and job lifecycle.

Use Lepton when you need cloud-based GPU compute without managing Kubernetes or SLURM infrastructure directly.
