- Production-ready Deep Learning AMI launched for AWS PCS
AWS PCS now provides a production-ready Deep Learning AMI (DLAMI) based on the Deep Learning Base GPU AMI, pre-installing PCS Agent, Slurm, and EFS utilities for AI/ML training and HPC workloads. This AMI simplifies the setup of elastic environments by integrating compute, storage, and networking with managed updates and observability.
Notes (2) ›
- AMI inherits from base DLAMI and adds PCS-specific components
The PCS-ready DLAMI inherits the OS, NVIDIA drivers, CUDA, EFA drivers, and Lustre client from the source DLAMI. It includes PCS Agent, Slurm for PCS, and EFS utilities, with automatic activation of supported Slurm versions based on cluster configuration.
- Continuous updates and availability
AWS releases updated AMIs regularly to incorporate security patches and driver updates from the source DLAMI and PCS components. The PCS-ready DLAMI is available at no additional cost in all AWS Regions where AWS PCS is supported, for both x86_64 and arm64 architectures.
