About NVIDIA Cloud Functions (NVCF) is a serverless API designed to deploy and manage AI workloads on GPUs, providing security, scalability, and reliability. It supports HTTP polling, HTTP streaming, and gRPC protocols for accessing workloads. Cloud Functions is primarily suited for shorter-running, preemptable workloads such as inferencing and fine-tuning. It supports two function types: "Container" and "Helm Chart", allowing users to define functions based on their specific requirements. Workloads are ephemeral and preemptable, so users should ensure they save their work appropriately. Models, containers, helm charts, and additional resources are hosted and pulled from the NGC Private Registry. To get started, users can follow the functions quickstart guide, which provides an end-to-end workflow for creating and deploying a container-based function using the fastapi_echo_sample container.
