SageMaker HyperPod Cluster Non-Production Scheduling Opportunity

The cluster holds accelerator capacity reserved around the clock, and a non-production cluster is reserving it for the hours nobody trains.

Free to start. No card. The playground just needs your work email.

Found, explained, handed over.

Findings with a dollar figure attached, idle, oversized, orphaned, unscheduled and undiscounted spend.

01

Detect

ZopNight checks this automatically across AWS, with read-only access to the account.

02

Explain

Every finding says exactly what to change: Schedule the non-production HyperPod cluster off-hours. Where the saving can be proven it is priced; where it cannot, the finding says so.

03

Fix

The finding opens with the fix already written out, step by step, so it is one ticket, not an investigation.

Applies to
SageMaker Clusters on AWS
The fix, by hand
  1. Recommended off-hours window (start/stop cron, timezone) from the heatmap.
  2. Create a schedule in ZopNight to scale all instance groups to zero during off-hours; the executor's aws-sagemaker-cluster provider restores the saved counts on start.
  3. Automate the scale-down/scale-up on the cron windows above.

These are the steps the finding carries in the product.
