AI Infrastructure & Operations · Exam Prep Simulator

Learn GPU operations by breaking a cluster that can take it.

Aegis-GPU is a hands-on training simulator for NVIDIA's NCA-AIIO certification. Inject real fault signatures — XID errors, NVLink degradation, NCCL fallbacks, thermal throttling — into a virtual GPU fleet, then diagnose and recover them with the same commands you'd run in production.

What's inside

Fault-injection labs

22 guided labs walk through healthy baselines, injected failures, and recovery: ECC/XID triage, MIG partitioning, InfiniBand and RoCE fabrics, storage bottlenecks, Slurm and Kubernetes scheduling.

A terminal that coaches back

Type nvidia-smi, dcgmi, kubectl, and scontrol against the simulated cluster. Correct diagnostics return realistic output; weak ones get targeted coaching instead of a dead end.

Blueprint-weighted quiz

113 practice questions across all three exam domains, weighted like the official blueprint. Every choice — right or wrong — gets specific feedback explaining the failure class behind it.

Cluster fleet simulator

Provision a DGX-style fleet, watch live metrics respond to what you do, and work incidents across nodes, fabrics, and running jobs from a single operations view.

Readiness analytics

Scorecards track your reasoning per domain and tell you when your troubleshooting judgment is exam-ready — not just what percent you scored.

Study guide & coverage matrix

A built-in study guide maps every lab and quiz item to the official NCA-AIIO blueprint, so you can see exactly which objectives you still owe attention.
