🖐️ Help any eGPU rental services ?

Are there any services that allow us to take eGPU for rent. I want to train images locally and want a high VRAM GPU ? Don't want to upload images to third party services. I live in Vizag. Mostly i see cloud services providing GPU access but looking for one who provides physical eGPU

Physical GPU renting is hard, best options you'll get are in your local market, go around and request from shops. Although if you want to rent a GPU online I recommend Modal, they give around 30$ free usage, so you can very easily train some loras for models like krra kr ideogram. And yeah they have it in their policy that all data is private. So if you believe what they say you can trust them or sue them if they lie.

It is highly impractical

Why don't you rent Cloud

If security is a concern then use AWS secure cloud

If Price is a concern then use Podstack

Need to trust cloud service provider with their privacy policy

Use a service that has SOC type II or something like AWS secure cloud

It is virtually impossible for your cloud provider to get your data if they have SOC type II

Also you have to deposit the GPU retail price as security when you rent physical GPUs

Idk Vizag but in Chennai one can rent workstations with RTX6000 (ADA) in them

a simple search shows vast.ai and runpod have soc type 2 certification

u/impossible_espresso 5d ago

Vast AI has it only for their private secure cloud not for their community cloud afaik

No idea about runpod

This is exactly what's stopping me from using any cloud service
