Getting started with Deep Learning AMIs

Before we talk about DLAMIs, we must have a good idea of what AMIs are. We can think of an AMI as the “DNA” of an organism. Using this analogy, the organism would correspond and map to one or more EC2 instances:

Figure 2.1 – Launching EC2 instances using Deep Learning AMIs

If we were to launch two EC2 instances using the same AMI (similar to what is shown in Figure 2.1), both instances would have the same set of installed packages, frameworks, tools, and operating systems upon instance launch. Of course, not everything needs to be the same as these instances may have different instance types, different security groups, and other configurable properties.

AMIs allow engineers to easily launch EC2 instances in consistent environments without having to spend hours installing different packages and tools. In addition to the installation steps, these EC2 instances need to be configured and optimized...
