# Deploy CaaS

> Flexible & High-Performance Containers Built for Rapid Deployment and Scalable AI Workloads

IO.NET offers a simple and powerful interface for deploying containers using high-performance infrastructure. Whether you're running inference, training models, or hosting APIs, the Containers system gives you flexibility and speed.

This guide is intended for users who want to deploy using IO Cloud API keys on our CaaS clusters. For detailed API usage, refer to our [API Reference](https://io-migration.mintlify.site/reference/get-started-with-caas-api.md)

## Container Deployment Wizard

### Step 1: Basic Deployment Settings

Configure your container:

* **Container Image** *(required)* Example: `myorg/myimage:latest`

* **Image Type**

  * Public Image
  * Private Image

* **Start Command** Enter the start command in JSON array format, example:
  ```json json theme={null}
  ["python3","-m","vllm.entrypoints.openai.api_server","--model"]
  ```

* **Traffic Port** *(required)* Default: `8000`

* **Environment Variables** Click **Add Variable** to define key-value pairs. Options:

  * Normal Variable
  * Private Variable You can add or remove variables as needed.

Once all required fields are completed, click **Next Step**.

### Step 2: Select Your Cluster Processor + Location

Choose the hardware and region for your deployment:

* **Available GPUs** Search by GPU model and view:

  * GPU Model
  * GPUs per Container

* **Location Selection** After selecting a GPU, you'll see a list of locations showing:

  * Region (e.g. Canada, Germany)
  * Available containers per location

Once both **GPU** and **location** are selected, proceed to the **next step**.

### Step 3: Summary

On the Summary page, the choices you made in the process are displayed. You must select the number of Containers and the duration of time that you will use them.

1. In the **No. of Containers** field, select the number of Containers in the dropdown. 2 Containers will increase the cost.
2. In the **Enter Duration** field, select the length of time: Hourly, Daily, or Weekly. To the right, you can increase the quantity.
3. Review all the details of your cluster, including the **Total Cost**.
4. Click **Deploy Cluster**.
