RunPod
RunPod is one registered infrastructure adapter. Elastic deployments use SkyPilot to provision
RunPod Pods; Serverless deployments use RunPod’s native endpoint lifecycle. InferCrane’s base
production stack does not require RunPod—enable it explicitly with
compose.production.runpod.yaml.
Both paths can create billable resources. Inspect existing pods and endpoints before retrying a provider operation, retain the original idempotency key, and verify provider inventory after deletion.
See provider setup for credentials and the serverless lifecycle for worker-zero behavior.
