Introducing workspaces for Lambda Cloud
Blog post from Lambda
Lambda workspaces offer a solution for managing cloud resources in shared GPU environments by providing a way to organize these resources, control access, and separate development, staging, and production environments. This approach addresses common issues in flat account structures, where the lack of clear boundaries can lead to resource mismanagement and excessive access permissions, particularly as teams and projects grow. Workspaces serve as logical containers that group related cloud resources and manage access at the resource level, allowing only designated members to view and launch resources within a workspace. They help to eliminate reliance on manual tagging or naming conventions by providing a structured method for resource organization and access control. Each Lambda Cloud account includes a default workspace, and additional workspaces can be created and customized by account admins to suit organizational needs. Workspaces can span multiple regions, are free to use, and do not affect billing or network isolation. This model supports better resource management and access control, ensuring that researchers, platform teams, and on-call engineers operate within their designated environments, while simplifying project-specific access for contractors.
