ISBC AI-HPC R&D Cloud AMI on Rocky Linux 9.7 with pre-integrated Lustre, NVIDIA, EFA, and ParallelCluster stacks. Deploy production-ready AI and HPC clusters with fully managed support.
A production-ready AMI for enterprise AI, HPC, CAE, EDA, simulation, visualization, and research workloads on AWS. This AMI eliminates days of manual integration by delivering a pre-validated stack of Lustre client, NVIDIA drivers, EFA networking, and AWS ParallelCluster - all configured and tested to work together out of the box.
What Is Included
Rocky Linux 9.7 enterprise operating system with SELinux enabled

Supported Use Cases
AI model training and inference at scale
CAE/CFD/FEA simulation
EDA (Electronic Design Automation) workloads
Scientific computing and research
Remote 3D visualization
Distributed batch processing
BYOL (Bring Your Own License) integration of commercial R&D software with open-source stacks
Node Roles
This AMI functions as a head node, pre/post processing node, or compute node within your cluster architecture, providing a unified image across all cluster roles for simplified management.
Why This AMI Over Building Your Own Stack
Assembling Lustre clients, NVIDIA drivers, EFA libraries, and ParallelCluster configurations from scratch requires resolving version compatibility issues across multiple software layers. This AMI delivers a pre-tested, validated combination so your team can focus on running workloads rather than debugging driver conflicts or networking configurations. ISBC provides ongoing managed support including workload optimization, application integration, and performance tuning.
Managed Support Scope
Additional charges apply for ISBC-managed AMI support services including:
Deployment assistance and initial cluster configuration
Workload optimization and performance tuning
Application integration (commercial and open-source R&D tools)
Enterprise operational support and troubleshooting
Job solving and cluster management guidance
Responsibilities
Customers remain responsible for applicable AWS infrastructure costs and third-party software licenses. ISBC manages the AMI software stack, updates, and technical support for the integrated components.
Getting Started
To begin evaluating this AMI, launch it on a supported instance and contact ISBC for deployment consultation and cluster architecture planning through the support channels provided.
Highlights
Pre-integrated AI-HPC stack ready to deploy: Lustre client, NVIDIA GPU drivers, CUDA, EFA networking, and AWS ParallelCluster are pre-configured and validated together on Rocky Linux 9.7. This eliminates the manual integration work of resolving version conflicts across storage, GPU, and networking layers - allowing your team to run production workloads instead of debugging driver compatibility issues across multiple software components.
Built-in workload management for AI and engineering teams: Includes web-based HPC management, SLURM job scheduling, eVDI (3D) remote visualization sessions, Docker container orchestration, and GPU-accelerated MLOps with JupyterNotebook. A single AMI serves as head node, pre/post processing node, or compute node, providing unified cluster management with license monitoring for visibility across shared R&D environments.
Fully managed support with BYOL integration expertise: ISBC provides end-to-end technical support including deployment assistance, workload optimization, performance tuning, and application integration. Enables efficient Bring Your Own License (BYOL) integration of commercial R&D software (CAE, CFD, FEA, EDA tools) with the open-source stack, plus ongoing migration and maintenance support for enterprise AI-HPC environments.

You pay by the hour for the AWS instance type you run this AMI on. Billing scales with the compute size you choose, so larger instances cost more per hour. Compute-optimized families (c7i, c8a, c8i, c8id, c8ib, c8in) suit CPU-heavy simulation work. HPC-tuned hpc8a instances target tightly coupled parallel jobs. GPU families (g6, g6e, g7e) handle graphics and AI workloads, while p-series instances (p4d, p5, p5e, p5en, p6-b200, p6-b300) target large-scale AI and machine learning. Metal options give direct hardware access. You are charged only for the hours each instance runs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What exactly am I paying for with the hourly rate on each instance type?
You pay for the software running on the AWS instance for each hour it runs. The rate reflects the compute size and family you pick. Larger instances carry higher hourly rates. You choose the instance type at launch, and billing follows the hours that instance stays active.
Am I charged when an instance is stopped or paused?
Hourly software charges apply only while an instance runs. Stopping an instance halts these charges. Note that stopped instances may still incur separate AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but the software meter counts running hours only.
How do I choose between the compute, GPU, HPC, and p-series instance families?
Each family bills the same way, per hour, but suits different work. Compute-optimized families fit CPU-heavy simulation. GPU families handle graphics and AI tasks. HPC-tuned instances target parallel jobs. The p-series targets large-scale AI and machine learning. Match the family to your workload, then the size to your capacity needs.

An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
