CloudFormation Template (CFT)
AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."

Usage instructions
-
Make sure your PC has network access to all of the VAST Cluster compute servers (CNodes).
-
Browse to: https://<VMS_VIP>/, where <VMS_VIP> is the management VIP that you provided during installation. This is the IP used to connect to the VAST Cluster management server (VMS). The VAST Web UI opens.
-
If this is your first time connecting to the VAST Web UI, click I agree to accept the VAST Data End User License Agreement.
-
Enter your Username and Password to log in. For first time login, use the factory default VMS user account credentials: username: admin password: 123456. (i) VAST Cluster has one factory default VMS user account. You cannot delete the factory default VMS user account or reduce its permissions. After first time login, you can change the password for the default VMS user, create additional VMS users, and/or configure role based access with LDAP groups. For all options, see Authorizing VMS Access and Permissions. For subsequent login, enter a valid user name and password. This may be:
- A user name and password belonging to a user group on your organization's authentication provider (requires mapping the group to a VMS role), or
- The user name and password of a VMS user account.
- Click Login. You're now logged into the VAST Web UI and you're viewing the Dashboard.

The VAST Data AI Operating System unifies on-premises and cloud environments into a single, intelligent data platform. It removes the operational boundary between where data lives and where AI compute runs, so enterprises can use cloud accelerators and services without creating parallel datasets, migration projects, or new silos. The same VAST software and capabilities are delivered consistently across supported clouds, making it possible to extend an existing environment into the cloud, or the cloud to on-prem, while keeping one data plane and one operational model.

Elite All-Flash Performance with Limitless Scalability for AI Workloads
Reviewed on Oct 18, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
VAST Data breaks decades-old IT compromises by offering the elite performance of all-flash storage combined with the limitless scalability and economics of an archive, making it an ideal operating system for heavy AI and deep learning workloads.
What do you dislike about the product?
Because the compute nodes rely entirely on the network to access the shared storage drives, users have noted that occasional network connection issues can immediately lead to unpredictable performance or noticeable lag during data usage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Problem: In traditional AI systems, data must be copied from slow storage to fast storage before a GPU can process it. If the GPU finishes its current batch and has to wait for more data to arrive from slow storage, you have "GPU starvation." When you are paying thousands of dollars per hour for GPU compute, having them sit idle waiting for data is a massive waste of money. The VAST Solution: VAST provides an all-flash environment where all data is immediately accessible at high speeds. The Benefit: AI models can train much faster because the GPUs never have to wait for data. The entire pipeline, from initial data ingest to training to inferencing, happens on one platform without moving data between tiers.

Smooth Performance and Scalable Integrations for Large Datasets
Reviewed on Oct 07, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I really like its performance when working with large datasets, UI feels smooth and the platform scales very well too, which makes it better than most of the platforms out there. On top of that, I also like its integration with existing data and compute environments.
What do you dislike about the product?
Onboarding can take some time to understand, especially the initial setup. The pricing also seems to make more sense at a larger scale. Also, comparatively, it has fewer AI features than other platforms.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scaling has been easier as our data has grown. It also reduces a lot of infrastructure management and has helped us spend more time on the actual model training.

Scalable All-in-One Data Storage That Keeps Our Team in Sync
Reviewed on Oct 05, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
It is a data storage and management platform. so we don't need to store our data into separate place for files, documents and other data, we can place all data into one platform and access parallel as a team. As our data grows we don't need to transfer our data to another platform, this platform scales according to our data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its initial setup can be complex. For smaller organizations and budget-sensitive projects, it can be costly, otherwise nothing to dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Don't think to manage large scale data on different platforms. We can manage all files, documents, data related to AI/ML on a single platform and access them easily.

Technically Ambitious Data Infrastructure Built for an AI-Driven World
Reviewed on Oct 02, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about VAST Data is how technically ambitious the company is. It isn’t just addressing a traditional storage problem; it’s rethinking how data infrastructure should work in an AI-driven world, and that bigger-picture approach really comes through.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I find challenging about VAST Data is that its technology and overall product architecture are fairly complex, which can make it harder to fully understand at first.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
VAST Data is addressing some of the core infrastructure challenges that come with AI and large-scale data. For me, the biggest benefit is the chance to work on technically demanding problems at scale, which makes the work both engaging and meaningful.
