GPU Shortage Mitigation: How to Harness the Cloud Automation Advantage
Blog post from Cast AI
The current GPU shortage is affecting AI development, with top cloud providers struggling to meet demand due to supply chain issues and high demand for Nvidia GPUs and networking equipment. To deal with this shortage, developers can consider three potential solutions: buying hardware on their own, getting GPUs from multiple cloud providers, or using cloud automation to enlarge their GPU supply. Cloud automation can help teams find a larger supply of GPU VMs at a controlled cost by providing node templates, autoscaling features, and cost management tools. By automating the process of provisioning and managing GPU-enabled instances, developers can save up to 90% on large GPU VM expenditures while avoiding interruptions and data loss.
