Configuration

Get a Token

1. Log in to the gcube web console
2. Go to API Token menu and copy your token
3. Set it in the CLI:

gcube configure set --token "eyJ..."

Workload YAML Format (for register -f and update -f)

# workload.yaml
description: "My ML training job"  # required, 2-80 chars
cuda: "12020"                      # optional CUDA version code
sharedMemory: 1                    # GB

containers:
  - containerImage: "pytorch/pytorch:2.0"  # required
    repo: docker.io
    port: 0                        # 0 = auto-detect
    maxConnection: 4
    containerCommand: "python train.py"
    isCredential: false
    containerEnvs:
      - EPOCHS: "100"
      - BATCH_SIZE: "32"
    userStorages: []
    # userStorages:
    #   - "95": "/mnt/data"        # SER from: gcube storage list

gpuSpecs:
  - gpuCode: "029"                 # required — CODE from 'gcube gpu list'
  # add more entries for multiple replicas:
  # - gpuCode: "029"

Use gcube workload update <ser> --skeleton > workload.yaml to export the current config before editing.

---

GPU

List available GPUs with specs and pricing.

Command	Description
gcube gpu list	Available GPUs (CODE, specs, hourly price range)
gcube gpu list --all	All GPUs including unavailable ones

The CODE column is a zero-padded sequence number (001, 002, ...) used when registering workloads.

---

Resource

Monitor CPU, GPU, and memory usage of a workload.

Command	Description
gcube resource workload <ser>	Workload resource usage (time average)

---

Point

Check point balance and spending history.

Command	Description
gcube point status	Balance, total charged/spent, low-balance warning
gcube point spending	Daily spending for the current month
gcube point spending --month 2026-03	Daily spending for a specific month
gcube point spending --workload <ser>	Filter by workload

---

Credential

Manage container registry credentials.

Command	Description
gcube credential list	List saved credentials
gcube credential create --repo <type> --username <name> --token <token>	Save a credential
gcube credential delete --repo <type>	Delete a credential

Supported --repo types: docker, github, harbor, aws, huggingface, quay

---

Storage

List personal storage volumes (PVC) available for mounting into workloads.

Command	Description
gcube storage list	List bound personal storages

SER is the identifier used in workload YAML to mount a storage volume:

containers:
  - containerImage: "pytorch/pytorch:2.0"
    userStorages:
      - "95": "/mnt/data"    # SER: mountPath
      - "94": "/mnt/model"

Only storages in bound state are listed. ReadWriteOnce storages can only be mounted to a single node — avoid them in multi-replica workloads.

---

Output Formats

gcube workload list              # table (default)
gcube -o json workload list      # JSON
gcube -o yaml workload list      # YAML

---

Global Options

Flag	Description	Default
-o, --output <format>	Output format: table|json|yaml	table
-V, --version	Show version	—
--help	Show help	—

---

Exit Codes

Code	Meaning
0	Success
1	Invalid argument or state error
2	gcube API error
3	Authentication failure or token expired
4	Network error

gcube workload describe 2212
gcube -o json workload describe 2212

# Start / stop / delete
gcube workload start 2212
gcube workload stop 2212
gcube workload delete 2212

Stream Logs

# Single container — streams immediately
gcube workload logs 2212

# Multi-container — shows selection list first
gcube workload logs 2226
gcube workload logs 2226 --pod 0 --container 1

Resource Monitoring

gcube resource workload 2212

Mount Personal Storage

# 1. Check available storages and note the SER column
gcube storage list

# 2. Add to workload YAML
#    userStorages:
#      - "95": "/mnt/data"

# 3. Register or update
gcube workload register -f workload.yaml

CI/CD Pipeline

export GCUBE_ACCESS_TOKEN="eyJ..."
export GCUBE_OUTPUT=json

gcube workload register -f pipeline.yaml
gcube workload describe 2212 | jq '.state'
