Section titled “Concept”AWS Deep Learning AMIs are server templates with all the software needed for AI/ML already installed. An AMI (Amazon Machine Image) is a ready-made template for starting an EC2 server. It comes with popular ML frameworks such as PyTorch and the drivers for running GPUs already installed. So you can start an EC2 instance and begin training or testing a model right away. It is useful if you want to control the whole environment yourself; if you want managed features, use SageMaker AI.
