How do I rent an A100-SXM4-80GB pod?

Where do the machines run, and what happens to my data?
Providers run their own hardware in their own facilities, and every pod on the marketplace names its city and country, so you can pick a region before you start. Your data lives on the machine you rented and is released when you delete the pod; attach a volume if you need storage that outlives a single pod.
