Overview
ISBC AI-HPC R&D Cloud AMI - Rocky Linux 9.7
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
- Lustre client pre-configured for FSx for Lustre high-performance storage
- NVIDIA GPU drivers and CUDA toolkit for GPU-accelerated workloads
- EFA (Elastic Fabric Adapter) support for low-latency inter-node communication
- AWS ParallelCluster integration for scalable cluster management
- Web-based HPC management console for cluster operations
- Pre/Post workload session management for interactive engineering and AI applications
- eVDI (3D) remote visualization session management
- SLURM job scheduler integration for batch workload control
- Docker container orchestration for containerized workloads
- GPU-accelerated MLOps with JupyterNotebook support
- License monitoring for visibility across shared R&D environments
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.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
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.
