Google Deep Learning Containers

Google Deep Learning Containers offers prepackaged and optimized deep learning containers for developing, testing, and deploying AI applications. These Docker images are performance optimized, compatibility tested, and ready to deploy on various platforms such as Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Vertex AI, Cloud Run, Compute Engine, Kubernetes, and Docker Swarm.

Key Features

• Consistent Environment: Provides portability and consistency, making it easy to move from on-premises to cloud scale.
• Fast Prototyping: Comes with all required frameworks, libraries, and drivers pre-installed and tested for compatibility.
• Performance Optimized: Accelerates model training and deployment with the latest framework versions and NVIDIA® CUDA-X AI libraries.
• Popular Framework Support: Supports popular machine learning frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch, and scikit-learn.

Pricing

Google Deep Learning Containers operates on a pay-as-you-go pricing model, offering automatic savings based on monthly usage and discounted rates for prepaid resources. They offer a pricing calculator to estimate costs, and also provide a cost optimization framework for best practices to optimize workload costs.

Use Cases

• Rapid Prototyping: Developers can quickly start their projects with a preconfigured environment, saving time on setting up and troubleshooting.
• Scalable Deployment: The consistent environment provided by the containers allows for easy scaling in the cloud or shifting from on-premises.
• Performance Optimization: The containers are optimized with the latest framework versions and NVIDIA® CUDA-X AI libraries, accelerating model training and deployment.
• Multi-framework Support: Supports popular machine learning frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch, and scikit-learn, providing flexibility for different project requirements.
