Navigating GPU Challenges: Cost Optimizing AI Workloads on AWS
Navigating GPU resource constraints requires a multi-faceted approach spanning procurement strategies, leveraging AWS AI accelerators, exploring alternative compute options, utilizing managed services like SageMaker, and implementing best practices for GPU sharing, containerization, monitoring, and cost governance. By adopting these techniques holistically, organizations can efficiently and cost-effectively execute AI, ML, and GenAI workloads on AWS, even amidst GPU scarcity. Importantly, these optimization strategies will remain valuable long after GPU supply chains recover, as they establish foundational practices for sustainable AI infrastructure that maximizes performance while controlling costs—an enduring priority for organizations scaling their AI initiatives into the future.
Optimizing cost for using foundational models with Amazon Bedrock
As we continue our five-part series on optimizing costs for generative AI workloads on AWS, our third blog shifts our focus to Amazon Bedrock.
