Official Runpod templates
Prefer an official template over building an image.
Runpod maintains prebuilt
images for common workloads; deploying one is a create + poll, with no SSH install

what those images actually are
. It does not
manage infrastructure — deploy with
runpod-mcp
(if connected) or
runpodctl
.
