NVIDIA GPU cloud servers you can attach to any VM
On Krystal Cloud, a GPU attaches to a virtual machine rather than running as a separate instance. You configure a VM with the CPU, RAM and storage you need, add a T4 or L4 when there’s GPU work to do, and detach it afterwards. The VM keeps its configuration the whole time, so you effectively have a GPU virtual server for as long as you need one.
Because GPUs attach and detach on demand, you can hold one for a training run and release it the moment the job finishes. You only pay for the time it’s attached.
T4 or L4: which NVIDIA GPU to attach
NVIDIA T4
16GB of GPU memory. A solid starting point for inference, prototyping, lighter training and video transcoding.
NVIDIA L4
24GB of GPU memory. Room for larger models, higher inference throughput and heavier generative or video work.
If you're prototyping or serving a smaller model, start with a T4. Move to an L4 when your model or batch size needs more than 16GB of GPU memory.
What you can run on a cloud GPU
Model training
Train on a T4 for smaller datasets, or an L4 when you need more memory per pass. Attach an NVIDIA GPU for the run and detach it when training finishes.
Inference and serving
Serve a trained model behind an API. Many inference workloads run well on a T4, with the L4 giving more throughput for busier endpoints.
Image generation
Run diffusion and other generative image models, where GPU memory sets how large a batch you can process at once.
Video rendering and transcoding
Encode, transcode and render on GPU rather than CPU, which clears the queue faster for media-heavy pipelines.
Pay only while a GPU is attached
GPUs are billed by the second, and only for the time they’re attached to a VM. Attach one for a few hours of training and you pay for those hours, nothing more. A monthly cap means a permanently attached NVIDIA GPU never costs more than its listed monthly price. The VM it’s attached to is billed separately on its own per-second rate.
What’s behind a GPU cloud server
A GPU cloud server runs on the same platform as every other Krystal Cloud instance. This includes self-healing Block Storage with three copies of your data, automatic failover if hardware fails, and DDoS mitigation included. Each instance includes 1TB of external transfer, pooled across your organisation, with free inbound transfer.

GPUs are billed by the second while attached, on top of your VM’s own price. You only pay for what you use, and you can cancel whenever you want. Full pricing is on the cloud pricing page.
