Container Compute

Live

Run containers on real machines. Pay for the seconds you use.

What it does

Deploy any OCI container to Chess Cloud and it runs on peer-contributed infrastructure within minutes. You bring the image — we handle scheduling, networking, and metering. CPU, memory, and GPU resources are billed per-second with no minimums, no idle charges, and no managed-runtime markup.

The infrastructure underneath is a decentralized marketplace: thousands of contributors run nodes, and your workloads land on them. That gives us pricing the hyperscalers can't match, and gives the people running compute a way to monetize machines that would otherwise sit idle. Container Compute is the foundation everything else on Chess Cloud is built on.

Why Chess Cloud

  • Per-second billing with no minimums or idle charges
  • Runs on decentralized peer infrastructure for better pricing
  • No managed-runtime markup — pay only for what you use
  • The foundation for all other Chess Cloud services
