# Overview
Key takeaways
* Nebius provides just enough UI to launch basic GPU infra. They largely compete on price.
* Managed k8s control plane is free (but you still need to add billing details)
* Applications are deployed into managed infra -- bunch of stuff abstracted away here but it feels relatively clean & simple
* The application framing is a little loose, e.g. you can deploy applications that cover vLLM (which then asks for a model), or models like DeepSeek-R1 (which bundles vLLM). I assume that most users don't have dozens of apps so this probably works just fine.

Here's the left nav -- from an April video they recently added Managed Ray, Managed Soperator, and removed Managed Spark.
Soperator enables you to run slurm over k8s: https://github.com/nebius/soperator.
