# Frequently Asked Questions

> **What is Thunder Compute?**
>
> Thunder is a low-cost, easy-to-use GPU cloud platform for developers. Instead of reserving a GPU, cloud instances on Thunder share a pool of network-attached GPUs.

> **How do I use Thunder Compute?**
>
> pip install "tnr" python package and follow our [quickstart guide](/docs/quickstart.md) to run your code in under a minute.

> **Why should I use Thunder Compute?**
>
> Thunder gives developers reliable, low-cost GPU access with a simple workflow.

> **How does developing with Thunder Compute compare to serverless GPU platforms?**
>
> Thunder instances behave like EC2 instances, because under the hood they are EC2 instances. This provides serverless flexibility and simplicity from a familiar, stable, linux environment.

> **How much does Thunder Compute cost to use? Can I even get GPUs?**
>
> Thunder keeps GPU access low-cost by using proprietary virtualization software to reduce the idle capacity inherent to most workflows and pass those savings on to developers.

> **I already have most of my infra on prem or in another cloud, can I use Thunder Compute?**
>
> Yes, this is what our enterprise solutions are built for! Our team of engineers can tailor Thunder to work within your data center or VPC to save cost and automate your infrastructure management. Contact us at `support@thundercompute.com` to discuss your specific requirements.
