Set up the AWS Deep Learning AMIs

“

- [Narrator] Next step we're going to look at AWS deep learning Amazon machine images running on EC2 or AMIs. And as mentioned previously the reason that these are so great to use is because they come pre-installed. There's three versions. Conda AMI that has preinstalled pip packages for deep learning such as TensorFlow, MXNet, Gluon, and many more. The base AMI which is a clean base image. And an AMI with source code so the deep learning packages and their source code. Now in addition to selecting the AWS deep learning AMI, typically when you're using EC2 you'll consider using GPUs or graphics processor units. And the reason for this is that most deep learning algorithms are optimized to take advantage of the parallelism available via GPUs. The chart shown here shows a performance analysis conducted by an independent group and there's a reference to the blog post. Showing the speed up in model training. It's really significant. To launch our instance we'll go to the console and click…
