For Agents

Provision and manage GPU and CPU VMs, networking, storage, and projects on Crusoe Cloud's GPU-focused IaaS platform.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Crusoe Cloud API Gateway to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Crusoe Cloud API Gateway, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.

Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh

Step 2: Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

Capabilities

What an agent can do with Crusoe Cloud API Gateway API.

Provision GPU and CPU VM instances individually or in bulk under a project

Manage instance groups and instance templates for repeatable VM topologies

Create and resize persistent disks, attach and detach them from VMs

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Crusoe Cloud API Gateway API for, with concrete tasks.

★ GPU Training Cluster Provisioning

Spin up a multi-node GPU training cluster by bulk-creating VM instances, attaching shared disks, and connecting them to an Infiniband partition for high-bandwidth interconnect. Crusoe Cloud exposes Infiniband as a first-class resource, which most general-purpose IaaS APIs do not.

POST /projects/{project_id}/networking/ib-partitions to create the partition, then POST /projects/{project_id}/compute/vms/bulk-instances with eight VMs referencing that partition.

Cost-Aware Inference Fleet

Manage an inference fleet that scales up during the day and down overnight by combining instance-groups for fleet topology with PATCH calls to change VM state. Pull /organizations/usage to verify cost trends after each scaling cycle.

PATCH /projects/{project_id}/compute/instance-groups/{instance_group_id} to resize the group at 8am, reverse the change at 8pm, and read /organizations/usage to confirm spend.

Per-Project VPC Hardening

Keep each Crusoe Cloud project's network surface tight by listing VPC firewall rules, removing unused entries, and patching the remainder to use up-to-date CIDRs. Useful for ongoing security hygiene as engineering teams roll on and off projects.

GET /projects/{project_id}/networking/vpc-firewall-rules, identify rules with overly broad source ranges, and PATCH each to a tighter CIDR.

Image and Template Catalog Sync

Mirror Crusoe Cloud's available VM images and instance templates into an internal catalog so platform teams can decide which images are blessed for production use. Updates are detected by diffing the listing endpoints on a schedule.

GET /compute/images and GET /projects/{project_id}/compute/instance-templates, diff against the cached catalog, and surface any new images or templates for review.

Agent-Driven GPU Operations

Allow an AI ops agent to handle GPU infrastructure chores — provisioning, attaching disks, opening firewall rules — through Jentic so the Crusoe access token stays in the vault and only scoped requests reach the runtime.

Search Jentic for 'provision a GPU virtual machine', load the create-VM operation, and execute it with the chosen VM type and project ID.

Key Endpoints

95 endpoints — the crusoe cloud api gateway exposes 95 endpoints covering the full crusoe cloud product surface: vm instances and instance groups, vm templates, vm types, instance images, persistent disks, snapshots, vpc networks, subnets, firewall rules, infiniband networks and partitions, load balancers, organisations, projects, usage and billing, identities, ssh keys, tokens, and capacity lookups.

Why Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Crusoe Cloud access tokens are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault. Agents never see the raw token — Jentic injects it into the Authorization header at execution time.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent (e.g. 'provision a GPU virtual machine') and Jentic returns the matching create-VM or networking operation along with its parameter schema.

Time to first call

Direct integration: 3-5 days to wire the 95 endpoints, project scoping, async operation polling, and rate-limit handling. Through Jentic: minutes per operation.

FAQs

Specific to using Crusoe Cloud API Gateway API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Crusoe Cloud API Gateway use?

The OpenAPI specification does not declare a security scheme. In practice Crusoe Cloud uses an API access token issued from the Crusoe console — pass it in the Authorization header. Through Jentic the token is stored encrypted in the vault and never enters the agent prompt.

Can I provision a GPU VM with the Crusoe Cloud API?

Yes. POST /projects/{project_id}/compute/vms/instances creates a new VM in the target project. Use POST /projects/{project_id}/compute/vms/bulk-instances when you need many VMs at once, for example to spin up a training cluster.

How do I set up an Infiniband partition for a GPU cluster through the Crusoe Cloud API?

First GET /projects/{project_id}/networking/ib-networks to find an existing Infiniband network, then POST /projects/{project_id}/networking/ib-partitions to create a partition that VMs in the cluster can join.

How do I track an async VM creation operation?

VM creation returns an operation_id. Poll GET /projects/{project_id}/compute/vms/instances/operations/{operation_id} until the operation reaches a terminal state, then call GET /projects/{project_id}/compute/vms/instances/{vm_id} for the running VM.

What are the rate limits for the Crusoe Cloud API?

The OpenAPI specification does not document numeric rate limits. Watch for HTTP 429 responses and contact Crusoe Cloud support before running high-frequency provisioning loops.

How do I provision a GPU VM through Jentic?

Run pip install jentic, search 'provision a GPU virtual machine', load the create-VM operation, and execute it with your project_id and VM type. Jentic injects the Crusoe access token automatically.
