Amazon Elastic Inference
1.Service Overview: Service Name: Amazon Elastic Inference Logo: Description: Amazon Elastic Inference allows you to attach just the right amount of GPU-powered acceleration to any Amazon EC2 2.Key Features: Top Features: Cost Efficiency Scalability Flexible GPU Allocation 3.Use Cases: Real Life Applications: Object detection Facial recognition Example: Camera footage 4.Pricing Model: The hourly rate applies only to the accelerator. 5.Comparison with similar service: Choose Elastic Inference if you need cost-efficient, scalable GPU acceleration for inference on AWS where Google TPU offers high computational power. 6.Benefits and Challenges: Advantages:Elastic Inference allows you to attach just the right amount of GPU power for inference,instead of paying for a full GPU instance when it's unnecessary. Limitations:EI isn't portable to other platforms like Azure or Google Cloud.EI accelerators can only be attached to specific EC2 instance(e.g.,T3,M5,C5) and are not available forall other instance types. 7.Case Study: Netflix attached Elastic Inference accelerators (such as eia2.medium and eia2.large) to their EC2 instances. This allowed them to effectively use the GPU parts of the recommendation system to the accelerators, while using cheaper CPU-based instances for less demanding tasks.
