  This is really interesting, though it seems like some kind of container play primarily to simplify GPU workloads anywhere - local and cloud.

  There is little mention of their plans to build their own GPU data centre - though they must already have one for their cloud gaming offering.

  NVidia could likely destroy AWS and Azure for GPU instances since they have GPU HW for cost price. I wonder how they are going to walk the fine line between cloud GPUs and cannibalising their own hardware sales - this feels like a dipping their toes in the water. I expect pricing to be only slightly below AWS.

  Interesting play vis-à-vis commoditized hardware offering from AWS/EC2.

  If they have a differentiated and/or significantly more powerful offering, this could chip away at the status quo...

  This looks like a signup page. The 'announcement of an announcement' category is off topic here; there's no harm in waiting for the stack to pop.

  The page does not actually tell what is it.
