“Within 30 seconds of a user opening a link to the McDonald’s Odyssey space, they each had their own secure, unique, beautiful, high-resolution, 60 frames-per-second Unreal Engine-powered experience. This is only possible because of CoreWeave’s Kubernetes API and range of high-performance compute and storage options. To be clear — this is not possible on any other provider or platform we’ve seen or tried to date.”Bram Horton,  Systems Architect, Odyssey

[H3] How does CoreWeave Mission Control improve reliability?
CoreWeave Mission Control automates node and fleet health management through lifecycle controllers, CloudOps monitoring, and direct-to-expert support.
[H3] Does Telemetry Relay support more than audit logs?
Yes. Telemetry Relay forwards audit and access logs at no cost and can forward additional telemetry types to customer endpoints where enabled.
[H3] Can I use GPU straggler detection for inference jobs?
GPU straggler detection is optimized for distributed training. Inference visibility is provided through broader Mission Control observability metrics.
[H3] Does Mission Control include observability tooling?
Yes. Mission Control includes CoreWeave Observe™ for cluster-level metrics and dashboards, plus Telemetry Relay for audit and access visibility.
[H3] What is the CoreWeave Mission Control Agent?
The CoreWeave Mission Control Agent helps teams interpret system behavior in real time. It can answer questions about GPU performance, training slowdowns, or cluster health directly from telemetry inside your workflow (e.g., Slack).
[H3] Does CoreWeave Mission Control cost extra?
CoreWeave Mission Control is included as part of the CoreWeave Cloud. Telemetry Relay forwards audit and access logs at no additional cost, and other telemetry forwarding is supported where enabled.
[H3] How does CoreWeave Mission Control integrate with existing observability and security tools?
CoreWeave Mission Control works with your current SIEM, logging, and monitoring systems through Telemetry Relay and CoreWeave Observe™. You can forward telemetry to HTTPS, S3-compatible endpoints, or Prometheus Remote Write with minimal setup.

[IMG: CoreWeave Mission Control: The Operating Standard for the AI Cloud]
‍ ¹The operating standard for AI is a set of functionalities that enables enterprise technology teams to run AI infrastructure so that it can consistently deliver on three objectives: reliability, transparency, and insights. These objectives and the related outcomes we deliver are described in more detail above and in our business blog post on December 9, 2025. When those are in place, even the most ambitious AI initiatives can run with confidence at massive scale.²Goodput is defined as the amount of compute time spent doing meaningful work.

[H2] CoreWeave ARENA is a good fit if you are:
Evaluating training, inference, reinforcement learning or agentic AI workloadsTesting production-ready  behavior (multi-node, throughput, latency)Using evaluation results to inform a production or deployment decision
[H3] Not sure CoreWeave ARENA is the right starting point?
If you’re looking for more guidance, we’re here to help:Talk to SalesRequest a TCO review
[H3] How is CoreWeave ARENA different from a typical evaluation or POC?
CoreWeave ARENA gives teams a real, production-grade environment with dedicated capacity to run their actual workloads on modern GPU configurations and tooling, then scale up safely to surface bottlenecks early (comms, scheduling, data paths, stability) before production. It’s a guided lab with defined configs and outputs—but the key difference is you’re not guessing from small tests or waiting on ad-hoc capacity. You’re proving performance, cost behavior, and production readiness under real conditions.
[H3] Who can participate?
Currently, only existing CoreWeave customers are eligible. Applications for new teams open in Q2 2026.
[H3] Which GPUs are available?
It depends on region, capacity, and your evaluation goals. We match configurations during qualification.
[H3] How long does it take?
Engagements are time-bounded and scheduled based on workload needs and capacity. The typical cycle for a benchmark evaluation is 14 days.
[H3] Is CoreWeave ARENA free?
CoreWeave ARENA evaluations may be paid, with commercial terms determined during qualification. Customers who proceed to production have evaluation fees credited/waived based on agreed terms.
[H3] How do we get started?
Start by checking eligibility. If you’re a fit, we’ll confirm prerequisites and align on success criteria before scheduling.
[H3] Which CoreWeave products can I test as part of CoreWeave ARENA?
In CoreWeave ARENA, you can validate end-to-end performance and production readiness across the CoreWeave stack using your real models and pipelines. This typically includes GPU Compute, CoreWeave Kubernetes Service (CKS) for orchestration (including SLURM/SUNK where applicable), Storage (including AI Object Storage and LOTA scenarios), Networking for multi-node scaling behavior, and Mission Control for operational visibility and observability. Availability may vary by region and lab configuration.
