Air Container supports two deployment methods:
  • Deploy from a Template — Quickly deploy using a preconfigured template.
  • Create from Scratch — Configure every deployment option manually.

​
Before You Begin

Regardless of the deployment method, you’ll configure the following settings during deployment.
ItemDescription
Container ImageThe Docker image URL used to run your container. The registry provider is detected automatically from the image URL.
Registry AccessPublic images can be pulled without authentication. Private registries require a username and password (or access token).
GPUThe GPU model assigned to the container. Available VRAM, system memory, vCPUs, and hourly pricing vary by GPU type.
ReplicasThe number of container replicas to run concurrently. When Autoscaling is enabled,
AirCloud automatically scales between the configured minimum and maximum values.
Persistent StoragePersistent storage that remains available even if the container is stopped or restarted.
Up to 30 GB can be allocated.
TagsOptional labels used to organize and filter containers.

​
1. Select a Project

From the Organization Overview, open the Project where you want to deploy the container.

​
2. Start Creating a Container

From the Air Container page, click + Create in the upper-right corner. Container Eng305

​
3. Choose a Deployment Method

Select how you want to create your container. Container Deploy Eng1
Deployment MethodDescription
Deploy from a TemplateQuickly deploy using a preconfigured template. The container image, ports, and environment variables are configured automatically.
Create from ScratchConfigure the container image and all deployment settings manually.

​
Deploy from a Template

​
1. Select a Template

Click Select Template and choose the template you want to use. Template Select Modal Eng1 After saving, the selected template is applied automatically, and the container name is initialized using the template name. You can change the container name at any time. Container Settings Eng1

​
2. Configure Resources

Expand the Resources section to select the infrastructure option and GPU model. Resource Select Eng2

​
Infrastructure Options

OptionDescription
AirCloud Zero (Spot)Coming soon.
AirCloud Plus (On-demand)Dedicated distributed cloud infrastructure operated by AIEEV, providing stable workloads without interruption.

​
Select a GPU

Each GPU option displays its available VRAM, system memory, vCPUs, maximum number of replicas, and hourly cost (AU/hr).

​
Configure Replicas

Replicas determine how many copies of your container run simultaneously. Adjust the desired number using the slider. Replica Config Eng When Autoscaling is enabled, AirCloud automatically adjusts the number of replicas within the configured minimum and maximum range. For more information, see Autoscaling and Scheduled Scaling.

Replicas and Quotas

  • The number of Replicas is limited by your account quota. If you need additional quota, please contact your administrator.
  • If sufficient quota is available but the selected GPU is temporarily unavailable, you can join the waitlist. Resources will be allocated automatically as GPUs become available.

​
3. Additional Settings (Optional)

When deploying from a template, Persistent Storage and Advanced Settings are preconfigured. You can modify these settings as needed.

​
Persistent Storage

Persistent Storage preserves your data even if the container is stopped or restarted. For more information, see Persistent Storage. Advanced Settings Eng1
ItemDescription
Volume SourceCreate New Volume creates a dedicated volume for this container. Attach Existing Volume shares a volume with another container.
Mount PathThe directory inside the container where the volume is mounted. Default: /workspace.
Capacity (GB)Maximum storage capacity. Default: 30 GB.

​
Advanced Settings

Advanced Settings provide fine-grained control over container behavior. All fields are optional. Advanced Settings Eng840
ItemDescription
Startup CommandOverrides the default command defined in the container image. Leave blank to use the image default.
PortPort exposed by the application. Default: 80.
Health Check URLEndpoint used to verify service health (for example, /health).
Metrics PathEndpoint used to expose application metrics (for example, /metrics).
Health Check Timeout (Seconds)Maximum time to wait for a health check response. Default: 300 seconds.
Startup Timeout (Seconds)Maximum time allowed for the container to start successfully. Default: 600 seconds.
Environment VariablesKey-value pairs injected into the container at runtime. Click + Add to add more variables.
Container IDAutomatically generated unique identifier for the container.

​
4. Create the Container

Review your configuration and estimated cost (1 Hour, 1 Day, and 30 Days) in the Deployment Summary panel, then click Create Container. Enable Deploy Immediately to start deployment as soon as the container is created. If disabled, the container is created in the Pending state and can be started manually later.
Containers in the Pending state do not incur charges. Charges begin only after the container is started.

​
Create from Scratch

​
1. Configure the Container Name

Enter a container name and optionally assign tags. Container Name Eng492
ItemDescription
NameA descriptive name for the container.
TagsOptional labels used to organize and filter containers.

​
2. Configure the Container Image

Enter the container image URL. AirCloud automatically detects the registry provider from the image URL, but you can change it manually if needed. Image Config Eng912
ItemDescription
Container ImageURL of the container image.
Registry ProviderAutomatically detected from the image URL. Can be changed manually.
Registry RegionRegion where the image is stored. For Amazon ECR, this is detected automatically.
Registry AccessPublic images require no authentication.
Private registries require a username and password (or access token).
Supported registry providers:
  • Google Artifact Registry
  • Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR)
  • GitHub Container Registry
  • Docker Hub

​
3. Configure Resources

Infrastructure options, GPU selection, Replicas, and Persistent Storage are configured in the same way as described in Deploy from a Template.

​
4. Configure Advanced Settings (Optional)

Startup commands, ports, health checks, and environment variables are configured in the same way as described in Advanced Settings.

​
5. Create the Container

Review the configuration and estimated cost, then click Create Container.
