This service offers a hosted version of the DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B model (https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B), which operates within your private cloud. After you subscribe to the listing, a CloudFormation deployment will initiate in your AWS account, setting up an EKS cluster running an inference service for the DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B model. Once the installation is complete, an API endpoint will be made available for seamless service queries!
DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B model is fine-tuned based on the open-source Qwen model, using samples generated by DeepSeek-R1. The DeepSeek team showed that the reasoning patterns discovered with reinforcement learning in a giant 671 B model can be compressed into tiny dense models without much loss. This 1.5 B checkpoint is the smallest of those distillations.
DeepSeek R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5 B punches way above its weight in math- and code-heavy reasoning while still fitting on a single laptop GPU (~4 GB in 8-bit). Use it whenever you need solid chain-of-thought performance under tight VRAM / latency budgets.
Architecture: 1.78 B-param decoder Transformer (Qwen 2.5-Math-1.5 B base) distilled from the 671 B-param DeepSeek R1 reasoning model
DeepSeek R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5 B is a rare mix of tiny footprint and serious analytical power. Whenever your problem looks more like an Olympiad question or a LeetCode hard than a casual conversation and you only have laptop-grade hardware, then this is the model to load.

You pay by the hour for the GPU instance type you run this model on. All twelve options are AWS instance sizes, priced per hour with no per-token charges. The g5 family spans from g5.xlarge through g5.48xlarge, giving you a range of GPU and compute sizes to match your workload. The p4d, p5, p5e, and p5en options offer higher-capacity GPU instances for heavier inference needs. Your cost scales with the instance you select and how many hours you keep it running. Choose a size based on the throughput and latency your workload requires.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What do I get for the hourly charge on each instance type?
You get a running AWS GPU instance with the model deployed and ready for inference. The charge maps to one hour of that specific instance running. Bigger instances carry more GPU and compute. There are no per-token charges regardless of how many requests you send.
Am I charged when I stop or pause an instance?
The software charge meters running hours only. When you stop an instance, the hourly software fee stops accruing. Underlying AWS storage or reserved resource fees may still apply while the instance is stopped. To end all software charges, terminate the instance.
How does running cost scale if I need more throughput?
Cost scales with two factors: the instance size you pick and the hours you run it. Larger GPU instances cost more per hour but handle heavier inference. You can also run several instances behind a load balancer, and each running instance meters its own hourly charge.

Install DeepSeek as a Service stack via the CloudFormation template
Launch a production-ready DeepSeek-as-a-Service in minutes with this turnkey CloudFormation template. It automatically provisions an EKS cluster (with optional VPC creation), GPU-powered node group, secure ACM-validated domain, and a fully-configured Helm deployment of the DeepSeek model—no manual Kubernetes tinkering required. Simply deploy the stack and start serving blazing-fast, scalable generative-AI endpoints from your own AWS account.
Key capabilities
One-click deployment – spin up the entire stack in ~15 minutes without touching kubectl, Helm charts, or ACM.
GPU-optimized – node group is pre-sized for latency-critical inference and ships with NVIDIA’s device plugin.
Automatic HTTPS – a Lambda workflow requests an ACM certificate, validates DNS, and wires TLS to the load balancer; the issued customer domain is stored in SSM and pushed to your SaaS account via SNS.
Bring-your-own or new VPC – the template can search for a compatible private-subnet pair with NAT gateways, or build an isolated /16 VPC complete with public & private subnets, IGWs, NAT gateways, and route tables.
Self-cleaning bootstrap – a short-lived EC2 builder instance handles cluster configuration, Helm install, and signals CloudFormation, then terminates itself to avoid idle costs.
Full control – after launch you have full control of the cluster just like any EKS environment: scale nodes, roll images, or extend with additional micro-services.
What the template creates
(Optional) New IPv4 /16 VPC with two AZ-balanced public & private subnets, route tables, IGW, and redundant NAT gateways.
Amazon EKS cluster (v1.32) with dedicated control-plane security group and API server endpoints opened for HTTPS.
GPU node group (A10, A100 or H100 GPUs, AL2_x86_64_GPU AMI, 100 GB EBS).
Amazon ACM certificate for a unique sub-domain (e.g., .aws.aumlabs.ai) and an NLB configured with HTTP → HTTPS redirect and TLS offload.
Helm-based deployment (llm-inference namespace) of the DeepSeek container image.
AWS SSM Parameter /eks//customer-domain containing the final service URL, for easy CI/CD integration.
Helper Lambdas and IAM roles to automate VPC discovery, certificate issuance, secret propagation, and SNS notifications.
CloudFormation Template (CFT)
AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."
(Optional) Existing VPC with >= 2 private subnets that have NAT-gateway egress if you plan to reuse your own network. Otherwise, the stack will automatically create a new VPC and subnets in your AWS account.
Subscribe & launch
Click Continue to Subscribe on the AWS Marketplace page and accept the terms.
Choose Continue to Configuration -> Continue to Launch.
Select the CloudFormation delivery option and choose the region in which you want to deploy.
Press Launch to open the stack in CloudFormation, then Next to the parameter wizard.
(Optional) Configure stack parameters
ClusterName - Friendly name for the EKS cluster (default llm-inference).
CreateVPC - true (build a new /16 VPC) or false (use an existing one automatically discovered) (default set to true).
Leave the parameters at their defaults unless you have a specific reason to change them. Click Next, add optional tags, then Create stack.
Monitor deployment (~15 - 20 min)
In the CloudFormation console watch the Events tab; status will progress through CREATE_IN_PROGRESS -> CREATE_COMPLETE.
First, CloudFormation creates an EKS cluster.
Next, CloudFormation starts an EC2 instance to setup the EKS cluster. The EC2 instance installs Kubectl, Helm, Git, and the NVIDIA device plugin and sets up the helm chart on the EKS cluster. During this Phase, a GPU node joins the EKS cluster. Once the EKS cluster setup is finished, the EC2 instance self-terminates and signals success.
Finally, a validated ACM certificate is issued, allowing the load balancer on the EKS cluster to be accessed via a friendly URL.
Locate your endpoint when the stack deployment is complete:
Open the Outputs tab; copy the value of CustomerDomain (e.g., https://<your-unique-identifier>.aws.aumlabs.ai/docs).
The same URL is stored in SSM Parameter Store at /eks/<ClusterName>/customer-domain
Test the model
Open https://<your-unique-identifier>.aws.aumlabs.ai/docs to access the auto-generated Swagger / OpenAPI UI, or invoke directly:
curl -X POST https://<your-unique-hash>.aws.aumlabs.ai/generate \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"prompts": ["Solve for x: 4x-9= 15 <think>\n"]
}'
The API endpoint also supports batch calls. You can send a comma separated list of prompts.
curl -X POST https://<your-unique-hash>.aws.aumlabs.ai/generate \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"prompts": ["Solve for x: 4x-9= 15 <think>\n", "Find b, where 8^2 + b^2 = 17^2 <think>\n"]
}'
Expect a JSON response containing the model's reply in the following format:
{
"responses": [
"<Reply to Query 1>",
"<Reply to Query 2>"
]
}
Operate & scale
After launch you can manage the cluster just like any EKS environment: scale nodes, or extend with additional micro-services if needed. The service is already production ready so you don't need to make changes unless absolutely required.
Cleanup
Delete the CloudFormation stack to remove all resources: EKS, GPU instances, load balancer, VPC (if created), ACM certificate, IAM roles, and SSM parameters. There is no leftover cost once the stack is gone.
