YellowDog, a pioneer in cloud computing, today announced a new collaboration with AMD on solutions for customers moving their workloads partly or wholly to the cloud. This technology partnership will enable YellowDog customers on instances powered by AMD EPYC processors to accelerate their cloud deployments, taking advantage of the performance benefits of AMD data center technologies deployed both on-premise and with any of the major cloud service providers. "YellowDog is driving new opportunities for customers to embrace sustainability-focused compute" Earlier this year YellowDog announced it created one of the world's largest secure cloud clusters to date, with 123,000 vCPUs, using 1,100 Google Cloud C2D virtual machines powered by 3 rd Gen AMD EPYC TM processors. Using the YellowDog Platform, the new Confidential Virtual Machines (CVMs) with additional encryption security features saw equal performance with and without the additional security switched on.
