Infrastructure icons

The 33 infrastructure icons in DevOps, described

Bin packbin-pack

Bin packing — every job placed into the fewest machines, efficient scheduling.

Cablecable

Two connectors joined by a lead — the physical link between one thing and another.

Cache buildcache-build

Cache build — warm the cache and fill it before anyone asks for anything.

Cell architecturecell-arch

Cell architecture — the blast radius limited by construction, failures contained in cells.

Configconfig

Config — the settings of a system written down as a file, YAML, JSON or environment.

Config driftconfig-drift

Config drift — two environments that no longer match because settings diverged.

Cordoncordon

Cordon — the node keeps running what it has but takes nothing new.

CPU offloadcpu-offload

CPU offload — what the card cannot hold spills down into system RAM.

Infrastructure driftdrift-infra

Infrastructure drift — what is running no longer matches what was declared in code.

Environmentenvironment

An environment — development, staging or production, the tier a deploy targets.

GPU queuegpu-queue

A GPU queue — jobs waiting their turn for a scarce card to become free.

GPU utilisationgpu-util

GPU utilisation — how much of the card is actually working, its load.

Inference serverinference-server

An inference server — the rack that answers model requests in production.

Infrastructureinfrastructure

Infrastructure — everything underneath the app, the platform and the foundation.

Kernelkernel

The kernel — the lowest part of the OS that everything else stands on.

Motherboardmotherboard

A board with its chip and pin header — the hardware a system is assembled on.

Node drainnode-drain

Node drain — everything leaves the node in good order before maintenance.

Preemptpreempt

Preempt — something more important took the slot and evicted the job.

Prewarm poolprewarm-pool

A prewarm pool — empty seats already warm and waiting for requests.

Processprocess

A process — a program while it is alive, running with a PID on the machine.

Reserved nodereserved-node

A reserved node — capacity paid for in advance and held for you.

Scale to zeroscale-to-zero

Scale to zero — nobody asked, so nothing runs and nothing is billed.

SD cardsd-card

An SD card with its notched corner — removable storage for a camera or a board.

SIM cardsim-card

A SIM card with its cut corner and contact pad — the chip that carries a subscription.

Spot nodespot-node

A spot node — cheap until the provider takes it back, interruptible compute.

Static stabilitystatic-stability

Static stability — the weather changes but the system does not, resilient by design.

Tainttaint

A taint — a mark that says stay away unless you can tolerate it.

Tensor paralleltensor-parallel

Tensor parallelism — one model sliced across several GPUs that compute together.

Terraformterraform

Terraform — the infrastructure declared in files, planned and applied as code.

USBusb

The USB trident — a port, a stick or a cable that plugs into one.

VRAMvram

VRAM — the memory on the graphics card that a model has to fit in to run.

VRAM fullvram-full

VRAM full — the model does not fit, out of memory on the card.

Warm startwarm-start

A warm start — already warm when the request lands, no cold-start wait.

In code, each is one import — import { BinPack } from "@iconmind/react/icons/bin-pack" — and the same name in Vue, Svelte, Solid, Preact, React Native, Astro, Blade and Flutter.
