LightningAI · x · 2026-07-16
LightningAI introduced the full-stack implementation of **Lightning Cloud**, aiming to deliver near-bare-metal performance on the cloud and ensure teams have stable access to compute power for both "spiky or steady" workloads. Key highlights include: - They submitted **4 fixes** upstream to **Cloud Hypervisor**. - A scheduler is used to assign **8-node jobs** to machines **sharing the same switch**. - The article explains how they achieve a bare-metal experience through resource provisioning gates, virtualization layer fixes, and scheduling policies.
