Operations

Keeping GPU clusters running at high availability requires a combination of manual maintenance procedures, automated health checks, and increasingly autonomous agent-driven remediation. From basic operations like GPU resets and driver reloads that recover individual devices, to rolling restart strategies that update firmware across hundreds of nodes without disrupting training jobs, operational excellence determines whether a cluster achieves 95% or 99.5% effective uptime. This section covers the operational concepts and procedures essential for GPU infrastructure management — including MTTR (mean time to recovery), runbook automation, AIOps-driven anomaly detection, and the progression from reactive incident response to proactive, self-healing infrastructure. Each term includes practical context on how Factryze automates these operational workflows to reduce manual toil and minimize the blast radius of GPU failures.
