Selecting optimal compute instances
Amazon SageMaker provides developers with a wide selection of compute instances organized into instance families. Each instance family has a set of instance configurations known as instance types.
The following list highlights the instance families that are available on SageMaker:
- ML.M is a family of standard instances that provides a balanced CPU and memory resource configuration. The more CPU cores you have, the more memory that will be available. This instance family doesn’t come with a GPU device.
- ML.C is a family of compute-optimized instance designed for compute-bound applications such as data processing or certain machine learning (ML) algorithms (for instance, support vector machines). This family can be also used for ML inference. It doesn’t come with GPU devices.
- ML.G is a family based on NVIDIA GPU devices and is primarily used for DL inference workloads. It can be also used for smaller training jobs and...
