Deliverables

1. RunPod Module Structure ✅

Created complete module hierarchy:

src/runpod/
├── mod.rs         # Module exports and public API
├── types.rs       # 167 lines - API request/response types
├── client.rs      # 165 lines - RunPodClient implementation
└── deployment.rs  # 238 lines - Deployment logic and helpers

Total: 570 lines of production code

2. RunPod API Types ✅

Implemented comprehensive serde types (src/runpod/types.rs):

• ✅ PodDeploymentRequest - Complete deployment payload with 16 fields
• ✅ PodDeploymentResponse - Deployment result with machine/runtime info
• ✅ GpuType - GPU information with pricing and VRAM
• ✅ MachineInfo - Machine configuration details
• ✅ RuntimeInfo - Datacenter and runtime metadata
• ✅ ApiError - Error response parsing
• ✅ PodTerminationResponse - Termination result

Features:

• Full serde serialization/deserialization
• CamelCase API compatibility
• Optional field support
• Type-safe API contracts

3. RunPod Client ✅

Implemented async HTTP client (src/runpod/client.rs):

impl RunPodClient {
    pub fn new(api_key: String) -> Result<Self>
    pub async fn list_gpus(&self) -> Result<Vec<GpuType>>
    pub async fn deploy_pod(&self, request: PodDeploymentRequest) -> Result<PodDeploymentResponse>
    pub async fn terminate_pod(&self, pod_id: &str) -> Result<()>
