Study Notes
Amazon EC2 Overview
- Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) is a popular AWS service for infrastructure as a service (IaaS), providing virtual servers (machines).
- It allows attaching disk space (EBS drives).
- Traffic distribution to instances is possible via load balancers (ELB).
- Scalability is achieved via automated scaling groups (ASG).
- User can configure operating systems (Linux, Windows, macOS).
- Customizable computing power (CPU cores & RAM) and storage.
- Network speed and public IP configuration is possible.
- Security groups control server access.
- EC2 User Data configures the virtual server at launch.
- EC2 instances are fundamental to understanding cloud infrastructure.
EC2 and AI
- AI workloads on AWS primarily use managed services, less so EC2.
- Some EC2 instances are GPU-based to support AI tasks (e.g., P3, P4, P5, G3, G6 families).
- AWS Trainium are machine learning chips for deep learning (e.g., Trn1 instance with 16 Trainium accelerators). Using these instances can reduce training costs by 50%.
- These can be used for model training or serving.
- AWS Inferentia chips (e.g., Inf1 or Inf2 instances) support high-performance, low-cost inference.
- Inferentia instances offer up to 4x throughput and up to 70% cost reduction over traditional GPUs.
- Trainium and Inferentia instances are known for their low environmental impact.
