Guide for admins

This guide focuses on tasks that admins (infra or platform team) need to accomplish on Anyscale, including but not limited to deploying, managing, and governing resources, and users.

Development-related tasks?

As an infra or platform engineer, you may also need to complete development-related tasks, like developing or debugging Ray apps. See the developer guide for instructions.

How Anyscale works​

Anyscale unifies and manages the underlying compute infrastructure efficiently and enables your developers to build scalable Ray apps faster.

  • You can deploy self-hosted clouds on any cloud (public cloud providers or on-prem), any stack, and any accelerator with Anyscale orchestration. See Architecture for more details.
  • Anyscale-hosted cloud executes your code within a dedicated cloud environment that Anyscale manages and optimizes on your behalf. You can get started quickly without engaging with Kubernetes, Docker, or cloud service providers.

Anyscale benefits​

Anyscale and RayTurbo enable your products to go to market faster with less cost, while maintaining enterprise-grade governance.

Go to market faster​

  • No more cluster management: Infra and platform teams can focus on other high-stake AI platform features.
  • Improved developer velocity: Developers build and deploy Ray apps faster with Anyscale's best-in-class developer experience.
  • Expert support: Receive direct support from the creators of Ray.

Cost savings​

  • Faster with RayTurbo: Accelerate your apps with RayTurbo, Anyscale's proprietary version of Ray.
  • Spot instance support: Support for spot instances from infra to RayTurbo across the entire stack.
  • Less idle resources: Identify resources waste with dashboards. Keep reserved instances busy with preemptible workloads.

Enterprise-grade governance​

  • Bring your own cloud or machines: Deploy on your cloud or on-premise machines, and have full control over your data.
  • Governance and compliance: Implement strict access controls and cost tracking, backed by SOC 2 Type 2 attestation.
  • Synergy with your own systems: Integrate with your SSO providers, data storage, MLOps tooling, and more.
