Device as a Compute Node
Your own GPU workstations and build servers sit idle most of the time. The awaBerry Agentic API turns any registered device into an authenticated HTTP endpoint — callable from any script, CI pipeline, or application, with zero open ports.
The Problem
Your Hardware Is Powerful. Getting to It Remotely Is Not.
Your own machines — GPU workstations, build servers, home rack servers — sit idle most of the time. Yet when you need their power remotely, your options are clunky: rent expensive cloud GPUs, open SSH ports to the internet, set up VPN tunnels, or build and maintain a custom REST wrapper yourself. Each approach carries real costs: credential sprawl, key rotation, cold-start latency, data egress fees, or significant maintenance overhead.
Secure Access Requires Significant Infrastructure
SSH keys need rotation. VPNs need maintenance. Custom REST wrappers take weeks to build correctly. None of these are designed for on-demand, scriptable compute access.
Cloud Compute Is Expensive for Sustained Use
Cloud GPU instances bill by the second and add egress fees for large datasets. Your own hardware is more cost-effective — but only if you can actually reach it cleanly.
How the Agentic API Solves This
Your Hardware as On-Demand Serverless Functions.
awaBerry Anywhere provides a zero-trust tunneling layer that sits in front of your physical devices and exposes them as authenticated HTTP endpoints. No firewall ports opened, no SSH keys managed, no custom middleware built. The API handles authentication, permission scoping, and secure tunneling automatically — turning your idle hardware into callable compute nodes accessible from anywhere.
Step 1 — Create a Project
Assign the target device to an Agentic API project. Define the command allowlist (specific scripts only), scoped folder paths, and privilege level. Retrieve your Project Key and Secret.
Step 2 — Call via HTTPS POST
Any script, CI pipeline, or application sends a POST to /api/v1/execute with your command and device identifier, authenticated via Bearer PROJECT_KEY:SECRET. No SDK required.
Step 3 — Structured Response, Full Observability
Receive stdout, stderr, and exit_code in the JSON response. Chain calls across machines for multi-step compute pipelines — no inter-machine credentials needed.
Use in Practice
From On-Demand Inference to Parallel Build Matrices.
Once a project is configured, your hardware is available for any programmatic use case:
On-Demand GPU Inference
POST a command to run your inference script on a dedicated GPU machine. Receive the structured prediction result back in the response body — no cloud GPU required.
Build Server Trigger from Cloud CI
A GitHub Actions or Cloudflare Workers CI job triggers a private build machine via the Agentic API. Collect stdout for build status, exit code for pass/fail gating.
Scheduled Batch Jobs
Replace fragile cron setups with API-triggered processes orchestrated from a Cloudflare Worker. Full observability (exit codes, stdout, stderr) without managing cron infrastructure.
Multi-Step Compute Pipelines
Chain calls across machines: preprocess on Machine A, run inference on GPU Machine B, post-process on Machine C. No inter-machine credentials or VPN needed.
Project Configuration
Least-Privilege by Default.
| Setting | Recommended Value |
|---|---|
| Programmatic access | ✅ Enabled |
| Administrator permissions | ❌ Only if root is explicitly required |
| Folder access | Scoped to project-specific directories only |
| Command execution | Allowlist specific scripts — no open shell |
| Number of devices | One per compute role for isolation |
